ChicagoistApril 4, 2017At this wood-trimmed spot, you’ll be amply rewarded when you choose from shoyu, shio, miso, tonkotsu and—if you dare—tongue-singeing hell-style broths, all of which feature house-made noodles. Read more
I loove this place! They have different kind of ramen, the tonkotsu kurobuta is a must if you are new in the ramen world! Deeelish! They also have different veggies as appetizers and Japanese sodas.❤️

Tessamaria CrumpAugust 11, 2015Tonkatsu Ramen with an egg 👌🏽 also the scallops are out of this fucking world. Get the truffle for dessert. You will want to die, come back, and haunt this place.
Maia FeruziAugust 20, 2016The tonkotsu ramen is my favorite. The best part about the ramen is the 12 hour cooked broth that's just alive with flavor in your mouth. Wonderful place to eat.
Roberta WilsonJanuary 14, 2015I enjoyed ramen here for the first time and loved it. It's a nice treat in a cold day. Flavorful hearty brith, swimming in noodles, pork, or whatever you like. So good.- Strings Ramen ShopJuly 21, 2016You've asked for it and we listened! Spicy tuna sashimi rice bowl A.K.A . Spicy Cat Rice is available now at our Chinatown location!

Tonkotsu with pork belly is most excellent. Also, you can order a noodle refill after you've finished yours for the extra soup!- Strings Ramen ShopJuly 16, 2016Best Ramen in Chicago! Thank you Time Out Magazine! https://www.timeout.com/chicago/restaurants/the-best-ramen-in-chicago

Redeye ChicagoJanuary 6, 2015Come bearing wine to this Chinatown restaurant and they'll supply the fixings in the form of pitchers or half pitchers of tamarind-citrus or melon-strawberry-lime fruit. Read more
Helen ParkDecember 15, 2015Get pork loin instead of pork belly for less fatty/rich taste. Add crushed red pepper if you enjoy spicy broth
Quinn SMarch 15, 2015This was my first time here and the staff are very friendly and the food was great its a must when in China town
Anthony CarterDecember 19, 2014Great place with delicious ramen and desserts. Their pistachio gelato taste amazing.
Steven VanceApril 17, 2017Try the Hell ramen. Start with level 1 or 2 and work your way on subsequent visits.
Marilyn AlamFebruary 14, 2014Amazing ramen! Order the seaweed and scallions. It looks good and tastes delicious!
Jordan StanisciaNovember 28, 2014This ramen shop was great! Duck in ramen should be a thing everywhere else on earth.
This place is a contender for the best pork belly I've had.
Sora N.August 18, 2018The noodles here are excellent although the broth was little salty for my taste.
Lucy YapJune 11, 2015Kinda pricey if you like your ramen fully loaded. The pork broth has a gingery meatiness to it
