Kyuramen (https://www.kyuramen.com/), the fast-growing Japanese ramen brand celebrated for its signature ramen, omurice, and honeycomb booth design, announced the opening of its newest location in Naperville. As Kyuramen’s second Illinois outpost following its successful Chicago debut, the restaurant brings the brand’s immersive, design-forward dining experience to one of the state’s most vibrant suburban communities. The new location is situated at 1727 Freedom Dr #121, Naperville, IL 60563.

Rooted in the belief that ramen should be both soulful and innovative, Kyuramen pairs Japanese culinary tradition with modern flavors, approachable pricing, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Its signature honeycomb seating has become a recognizable hallmark of the brand and a favorite across social media.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring Kyuramen to Naperville,” said a Kyuramen spokesperson in a statement. “After seeing such an enthusiastic response in Chicago, we knew Naperville’s thriving dining scene and diverse community would be the ideal destination for our next opening. We look forward to welcoming guests to explore our ramen, donburi, and izakaya-style dishes in a space designed for comfort and connection.”

Kyuramen Naperville will serve the brand’s most popular dishes, including the bestselling #1 Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu Ramen—with more than half a million bowls sold nationwide—and the Yin-Yang Bowl, which offers two ramen flavors in one. Guests can also enjoy Kyuramen’s viral Omurice, a fluffy Japanese omelet over savory fried rice, alongside a range of donburi bowls and izakaya-style small plates.

The Naperville restaurant debuts Kyuramen’s refreshed 2.0 interior design, featuring a ramen cart-inspired reception, upgraded honeycomb booths, and a Japanese wish tree centerpiece adorned with traditional votive plaques. Modern lighting and décor blend contemporary elements with classic Japanese aesthetics, creating an atmosphere that’s welcoming for everyday meals, date nights, and group gatherings.

The restaurant will be open daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. For more information, visit www.kyuramen.com and follow @kyuramen.official on Instagram and TikTok.
