Torino Ramen

DrinkDowntown Wilmette · Japanese (Ramen, Sushi, Izakaya) Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1162 Wilmette Ave, Wilmette, IL 60091

Torino Ramen opened on Wilmette Avenue in 2017 with a straightforward goal — real, traditional ramen in a North Shore suburb that didn't have much of it — and the bet paid off enough that it's since been voted the North Shore's best ramen and sushi restaurant.

$$$
North Shore's reigning Best Ramen & Sushi pick since 2017 — a bar-forward izakaya menu from Executive Chef Yuji Hayashi, with a Tue-Thu 4-7 PM happy hour that's the easiest way in without the weekend wait.

Executive Chef Yuji Hayashi runs a menu that's grown from ramen-only into a full izakaya/bar program and sushi list, which is why this is a genuinely different stop than its sister restaurant Ichi by Torino across town: a bigger, bar-forward space rather than the smaller-format sibling. The Tuesday-through-Thursday happy hour, 4 to 7 PM at the bar, is the move if you want the food without the weekend wait — reservations are recommended because this place fills up.

Expect a $31-$50 per-person range on a normal visit, cocktails and beer alongside the ramen, and both gluten-free and vegan options if the table's needs are mixed.
