Yakitori Boogytori - Arlington Heights

They offer three versions of their locally famous ramen, all of which are incredibly delicious. However, this restaurant specializes more in yakitori grilling. For just a few dollars per item, you can get one or two skewers of freshly grilled meat or vegetables. It's a simple cooking style, but the quality of the ingredients is outstanding. Since our first visit last month, we've gone back at least once every weekend. If they started serving the same tonkotsu ramen as the Wasabi location, I might never leave!

Ramen Takeya features a chicken-based ramen that is truly outstanding. Each ingredient in the bowl works harmoniously together. If you enjoy a bit of heat, I highly recommend trying the spicy version! My only issue was that, despite the restaurant not being busy during our visit, the service was a bit slow, and it took a while for our order to arrive. Overall, I would rate the restaurant as follows: Menu: 4 stars, Price: (not specified), Food: 5 stars, Service: 3.5 stars. I definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try!

The ramen here is quite good, but I highly recommend trying the yakitori—it’s even better. The menu offers a nice variety, and everything is made to order. The takoyaki is also excellent. Additionally, the sake list is impressive, featuring a wide selection, particularly many high-quality Junmai sakes to choose from.

This izakaya is truly one of the best in the area! After spending three months in Kyoto, I've developed a deep appreciation for Japanese cuisine, and this place offers the most authentic experience. Each meal feels like a comforting embrace. The yakitori and karaage took me right back to my time in Japan. I'm truly grateful for this restaurant's existence!

This was my second visit, and it was just as fantastic as the first! The ramen was delicious; I ordered the Osaka Shio, and it was amazing.
