Oiistar

All I can say is wow - was not prepared for the size of the pork buns and ramen bowl. The quality was amazing and this is definitely in my top 3 ramen for Chicago. Server recommended the spicy garlic shoyumen which was the most popular. I started off with the berkshire pork bun which was huge and one of the best pork buns I’ve ever had. Then tried the ramen - broth had a great numbing spiciness to it, pork melted in your mouth and the two pieces of pork you got were enormous. I couldn’t finish the whole bowl and was stuffed. Had room for dessert though and got the crème brûlée which was delicious.

Went here for the first time tonight! I am a fan of ramen and so suprised I hadn’t tried this place yet. Easily best ramen in chicago! It was so flavorful and delish! I will be coming back !!

Oiistar offers decent ramen with generous portions. For starters, their pork belly bun was delicious and quite filling. We tried the Paitan Shio Ramen and Musclemen. The broth was phenomenal, especially the Musclemen with a unique blend of clam flavor with Tonkotsu, although we found the hakata noodle’s texture lacking in chewiness—possibly also overcooked. In our future visits, we will likely opt for the wavy noodles instead.
