Table to Stix Ramen

Nat

I have to start off this review by clarifying that I am picky when it comes to ramen. For starters, I do not like pork broth and that is the base for most of the ramen at this restaurant. Table to Stix is a cozy spot, suitable for ramen lovers in the Evanston area. There are starters which include other foods to choose from, but the main focus of the menu here is ramen. I ordered the MODERN TONKOTSU since that is one of my favorite flavors of ramen in other places. I hate to say that I did not like what I ordered. I typically order vegetarian broth when I get tonkotsu ramen, but here they said the broth was already premade which includes pork. I decided to give it a try but the flavor of the broth was so off-putting that I did not like it. I tried to eat as much of the noodles and other toppings without picking up the broth and it was okay. The toppings could have been better; for example, the mushrooms were not whole which I would have preferred since I feel like I only really got noodles, broth, and green onions in my bowl without anything else that made it more fulfilling. I don't like that there doesn't seem to be many vegetarian/vegan options so for that reason I probably would not come back here. The service was good despite it being completely full but the food does not make it worth it for me. That is not to say that I don't recommend coming here; it is evident that the restaurant is popular and liked among the majority of patrons.

Service was very good but fried chicken had a bad taste to it.

Cute ramen place in the burbs! A few seats but it wasn't too full in the middle of the day on a sunday. They had a vegan ramen option and it was pretty good. Broth could use more flavor but the toppings were delicious. Good portion sizes and nice atmosphere

Takoyaki and tonkatsu are superb! Definitely will come back! Service is fast and workers are super friendly.
