Reviews of Slurping Turtle

This location has a white exterior with a small second floor to seat extra patrons. I've always wanted to sit up there to get a look at the view but I'm always informed that there ain't a server for that seating area. There's huge pictures covering the wall too. And the ramen? Its delicious! They serve a bowl filled to the top & I believe the price is extremely reasonable for the amount you get. I've been getting the Miso Ramen since I've been coming here. Although my boyfriend has tried the Miso, TanTanMen, & the Shoyu Ramen.Also I think that the Marinated Mushrooms are AMAZING!

Highly recommend this spot. Great "Slurps" with many choices. I especially like the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen. Also love the "Snacks" to start things off. We enjoyed the Hamachi Tacos, Duck Fat Fried Chicken, and Pork Belly Bao. The service is also outstanding. We had a law firm lunch yesterday to celebrate a birthday and we were treated amazingly well.

The Slurping Turtle is not just a fun name. They have amazing sushi, spicy ramen and a very cool, chill atmosphere. My husband wanted to find a place with extra spicy food near the gold coast. The hangover ramen and the volcano roll was spicy enough for me but my husband asked for the volcano sauce to finally get the spice he wanted. They also had an a cool bar and upstairs sitting area. I definitely recommend it.

I follow Slurping Turtle on the Gram and have been eating with my eyes for long enough. It is sunday evening and easily found parking right in front across the street, this might not be the norm. They decided to keep a lot of the original concrete walls bare which gives a half way built vibe but oh well, nice booths as well as long dining tables for larger parties. The Food is Awesome. We started with Takoyaki (octopus fritter) which are especially nice with a Creamy texture and Smokey flavor. Bao Buns are ok, the pork belly is exactly what i think of when craving bao, the tempura shrimp reminded me of fish and chips… meh, and i wish i didnt order the roasted chicken bao.. Pass on that, its dry and underwhelming. The ramen which is the reason we came was delicious. The menu is Definitely quality and we left Full and satisfied. Few more items I want to return for but the Duck Fat Fried Chicken we couldnt pass on neither should you. Enjoy.

Fantastic for vegans and meat eaters alike! There are many plant based options and the red curry vegetable ramen + silken tofu which I had was filling and delicious. The broth was not too creamy and the kabocha crisps on top were the perfect salty crunchy complement. And the vegetable bao was heavenly, a must try! I loved it here and can't wait to come back and try the many vegan options.

Very solid experience, great service very fast with food and best of all everything tasted delicious. The tokyo shoyu was on point and the pork bao very delicious with a good accompanied salad that had this wasabi mixture that was excellent. I came here hungry and left very satisfied and shocked to find good ramen such as this place in Chicago. It's very solid I highly recommend to try it here.

To me this is by far the best Raman in Chicago. Reminds me of being back in Tokyo. Hangover Ramen is especially good Spicy from Kimchi with all sorts of treats thrown in. Kara-age fried chicken much better that I have found elsewhere. I could eat it all day. Chef Takashi used to run a wonderful Michelin star restaurant in Bucktown and this spot shows his attention to details even in a casual format.

A very amicable place, great decor, lovely staff. The tables by the window have a nice view over Hubbard St. Give their ramens a try! Don’t bother with the fried rice items. Their rolls are fine. It can get pretty crowded, and you may need to wait for some time before getting a table. Very hard to find a parking spot in that part of town!

First: happy hour is all week until 6pm. DO THIS. Second: Kelsey is great. Fantastic bartender, very chill about letting us take up spots at the bar for like two hours. Third: the door handle IS the giant blade thing attached to the holey black wall. If you go, you'll know. Finally: The food - amazing but got all the "snacks". Not sure about the ramen or rice. Sake flights are very cool. Super pleased with my visit, definitely will return.

Great food and great service. Try the Japanese mushrooms on the side, they are amazing! I've been here at least a dozen times and every dish I have tried hasn't disappointed me. Their edamame and bao are great appetizers. Their ramen dishes and bento boxes were delicious. I can't comment on dessert or the drinks.

I came here on a friend's recommendation. This restaurant has almost everything I'd want in a Japanese restaurant. It has a nice vibe, pretty great ramen, and sushi. I got a sashimi platter and the tan-tan ramen. The platter was well portioned, and presented very neatly. The ramen was spicy, which I love, but not so spicy that others could not enjoy it. My dad thought it was a bit too salty, but that is also how I like my food. If I were ever in Chicago again, I would definitely come here.
