New Westmont Sushi and Ramen Spot Takes Diners to Another Galaxy

Westmont Chamber - New Westmont Sushi and Ramen Spot Takes Diners to Another Galaxy

It’s no secret that fresh, innovative, and delicious sushi can be hard to come by. Thankfully, Westmont’s Galaxy Sushi and Ramen now fills that void, offering an out-of-this-world dining experience.

From the moment you open the front door, you’ll be captivated by the restaurant’s stunning transformation. The reimagined space boasts gorgeous custom tables, custom lighting, and a striking moon-like accent wall. The sushi bar is a highlight, offering a front row seat to the culinary magic and fresh creations.

Galaxy Sushi and Ramen’s menu is a masterpiece. Each dish is a work of art, almost too beautiful to eat, served on expertly designed glass dishes to complement each item. As sushi connoisseurs, we have high standards, and can confidently confirm Galaxy exceeds expectations. Owners Mike and Darren have curated a delicious menu of specialty rolls and sashimi, showcasing their passion for Japanese cuisine.

We found each bite of the sashimi to offer a flavor explosion, the fresh fish was just melting in our mouths. We enjoyed a variety of colorful sashimi, thanks to samplings of the salmon, yellowtail, squid, scallop, and super white tuna. Bright citrus notes from lime and other fruits highlighted the delicate flavors of the fish.

If you’re not an adventurous sushi eater, fear not. Galaxy offers plenty of cooked rolls and a diverse ramen menu. Even during pregnancy, I found plenty of delicious options without compromising on taste. We indulged in the Godzilla, Lava, and Volcano rolls, each one a flavor-packed delight. The Lava roll was a fiery delight, its crispy exterior giving way to a creamy center blended with shrimp tempura, salmon, white tuna, red snapper, spicy mayo, and eel sauce, all thoroughly cooked. The Volcano roll is a gift from above with tuna, salmon, white fish, avocado, and cream cheese inside, topped with spicy mayo, eel sauce, scallion, and red tobiko.

The Galaxy Ramen is in a league of its own. A rich pork bone broth leaves nothing to be desired with its abundant flavors, topped with a slice of tender grilled and marinated pork, fish cake, bok choy, sweet corn, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, nori, and a marinated egg. The ramen broth was rich and comforting, with perfectly cooked noodles. We can’t wait to return and try others. We’re told the Spicy Miso Ramen, Seafood Beef Don, Vegetable Ramen, and TantanRamen are also crowd pleasers.

If you’re curious about bubble tea, Galaxy’s passion fruit tea and taro smoothie are must-tries. The taro smoothie, made with the root vegetable and tapioca pearls, is a unique and refreshing drink, while the passion fruit tea is reminiscent of a bright, tropical drink you’d enjoy on the beach. It’s worth a trip to Galaxy just to try these drinks! A cup of their hot tea also hits the spot on cold winter nights, and it rounded out our experience. Prefer a drink packing more punch? Galaxy even offers a pairing of Sake bombs and Sake bowls for a next-level experience.

Whether you prefer a cozy booth or a seat at the sushi bar that boasts a custom resin bar top reminiscent of the beach, the atmosphere is inviting and the service is impeccable. The fresh, made-to-order sushi rivals anything you’d find at a coastal restaurant.

Conveniently located near Westmont’s Metra station, Galaxy is the ideal spot for a post-work meal or a quick takeout dinner. Don’t miss their lunch specials either; they offer great deals on delicious sushi rolls and bento boxes. Nestled on Westmont’s West Quincy Street, diners have a front row seat to this part of town’s second-to-none ambiance. We enjoyed our meal during the holiday season, overlooking the town’s magical holiday lights display. You’ll love the ease of street parking in front of the restaurant and in the nearby overflow commuter lot, if needed.

Galaxy Sushi and Ramen in Westmont is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience. With its stunning ambiance, delicious food, and excellent service, it’s no wonder this is quickly becoming a local favorite.
