Exceptional(395)
Price: Moderate
• Japanese • Logan Square
Booked 10 times today
Akahoshi Ramen is a humble ramen shop in the city of Chicago. Everything is made in the restaurant, including all soups, seasonings, toppings, and noodles. We are not an authentic ramen shop, though we value the history of ramen, and our ramen is influenced by its past and its future potential. The dish, popularized in Japan after World War 2, is symbolic of both struggle and perseverance. It is both a simple dish, and a fantastically complex one that we treat with reverence and respect. Roughly translating to “Red Star,” the name “Akahoshi” is a love letter to two cities; Sapporo, Hokkaido, where red stars adorn city monuments, and Chicago, Illinois, where the red star decorates the city flag. Our ramen is influenced by Japanese and American ideals in cooking. We hope you will join us to enjoy a bowl of ramen, made with the respect and passion it deserves.

    Finally got a reservation here 🙌🏽 And oh was it it worth it! We sat at the counter and got to see the magic happen. Ramen Lord himself even brought us our ramen which was pretty neat. Definitely will be fighting for another reservation to try the variations of ramen they introduce throughout the year. Shoutout to Mo, our server, for his kindness and cool demeanor.

    The food was incredibly good and my guests were SO impressed with the dishes for being so fresh and tasty! The beer selection is great too along with wine choices. The chef was friendly when we called him over to our table and they decorated the birthday desert with a sparkler. Lastly, the FLAN was the BEST we've ever enjoyed!

    Had a wonderful time. We checked in for a birthday dinner, and the hostess inquired whose birthday it was and greeted the birthday boy warmly, as did our server when she came to our table to greet us. Everything was delicious. We had the Prosciutto and warm bread, fried artichokes, rigatoni amatriciana, the NY strip and the roasted romanesco. Highly recommend the artichokes and the rigatoni, just outstanding. We had 2 cocktails, both delicious, and the pistachio gelato (one serving is enough for 2 people to share). They had 2 glasses of prosecco brought out for a birthday toast. We will definitely be back. The pricing is standardly high on the food side, but that is to be expected these days.
