About
Misoya Corporation of Japan pioneered the dedicated miso-ramen specialty restaurant category, and its Mt. Prospect franchise remains one of the longest-standing authentic Japanese ramen shops in the Chicago suburbs. Opening in 2013, it was among the first dedicated ramen restaurants in the Chicago area and introduced many local diners to the depth and variety of miso-based broths. The menu is tightly focused: three distinct miso styles—shiro (mild white), kome (rice miso) and aka (red miso)—are offered alongside toppings such as cha shu pork, seasoned egg, corn and pork belly. Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner from 11:30 AM, Ramen Misoya provides one of the most convenient and consistent Japanese ramen experiences in the northwest suburbs.
