Solid place! Love that it's in my neighborhood and open late (until 11pm).
I've ordered from Mura Mura about 3 times now, always for takeout or pick-up since the place is so small, and I've been pretty happy with all my orders. Every single time I've ordered I've had a great discount making the value for the food so worth it!
First time, new restaurant discount.
Second time, I used the "Too Good To Go" app that combats food waste (love that they are part of this) for a surprise bag for $9.99 (with value of $30 listed). I got so much! Huge portion of Pork Katsu over steamed rice, their House Salad (love the ginger dressing), Miso soups, order of Gyoza, and a sweet Iced Thai Tea - it was more than enough for 2 people and all very delicious!
And the third most recent time was sometime December for a late-night hankering for Ramen after coming home late and my partner and I ordered for pick up on Uber Eats with a BOGO deal on Lime Coconut Milk Ramen (YUM) - 2 for $19.95 - and added Edamame as a side. They threw in apples and 2 cans of coke for FREE in our Takeout bag, which was so awesome since we had been out of town for weeks and had a completely empty fridge after flying in late.
All told: SOLID and great value! Friendly staff, cute and cozy place - best for Lunch or Dinner, especially takeout (limited seating, but usually quiet and not busy). Open late. Discounts available. Surprise kindnesses! (Due to being near a University and starving students? lol). Order ahead if possible - they do make it fresh as they go so there is sometimes a...

Upon entering, I was instantly enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere, a delightful contrast to the nondescript facade. The interior was cozy and unpretentious, with an air of casual simplicity that focused all attention on the food.
The heart of this gem is the husband and wife duo who run the place. Their passion for ramen and dedication to service shone through in every interaction. They greeted each customer with genuine smiles and treated everyone like old friends, creating an exceptionally welcoming environment.
Now, let's talk about the ramen. It was, without exaggeration, the best I've ever had. Each bowl was a masterpiece, a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. The broth was rich and savory, the noodles were impeccably cooked, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. Every ingredient was clearly chosen with care, and the attention to detail was evident in every bite.
For native Chicagoans, this spot is a must-visit. It redefines what you'd expect from a neighborhood ramen joint. And for those not in the area, I can't recommend it enough. It's worth a road trip, a detour, whatever it takes to experience this culinary delight. This restaurant is not just a meal; it's a journey into the heart of what makes...
