Hot spot

Ramen-san is a bold and energetic neighborhood joint that slings hot noodles, ice-cold beer and rare expressions of Japanese whisky all to the tune of the best ’90s hip-hop in town. It respects the traditions but keep things uniquely untraditional in its yuzu sake bombs, crispy dumplings, spicy kimchi fried ramen and more. The restaurant is open for lunch, dinner and late-night dining seven days a week.

We had to keep stopping the wait staff for service, if we could find someone. We had planned to order a second beer.

Ramen-San is our go-to place for ramen in Chicago. Not only is the ramen amazing, appetizers, drinks and service are as well. Also, the vibe of the restaurant is perfect for a fun night out with family or friends.

Seating seemed scarce for how busy they were, but it happens in these small restaurants. The server was quick and pleasant. The menu is ideal, as it's not big and intimidating, but still has a lot of variety. The pork belly bao buns were delicious, the sake was great, and the spicy miso ramen, which was a special, was wonderful. It came out fast and everything was hot and tasted fresh. Great amount of spice. Will definitely be going back.
