Great food a bit pricey but it’s not a place I would go to all the time. Great flavor can’t wait to try the other options. Good for date night. Kind knowledgeable waiters/waitresses.
I love this place, I go to the va hospital from the south side 2 times a month and I always stop! The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Big shout out from the outskirts of Chicago on the way south side!
I find this place one freezing night and it was like a coke in the dessert. Since that day always when I want some delicious I go and I invite my friends to try this delicious food. Don’t forget to ask for tiramisu is the best dessert😍😍
This place is phenomenal. It is easily my favorite ramen shop in all of Chicago and it's heavily carried by the broth. We tried their Hell Ramen, the Kuro Buta, and the Shio Ramen with turkey and all of them had phenomenal broths. Not too salty, not undersalty, just right. The noodles were amazingly satisfying to eat and the meats were very tender. Would be coming back here - the service was friendly and fast and the atmosphere is a little cramped but it is cozy.
Good Ramen. I ordered hell Ramen level 4 was so good. It's really spicy like I want. The soup is similar to Mala soup (spicy Chinese hotpot soup) more lighter but still spicy. On top with ground pork and crispy pork skin that I commonly found in Thai boat noodles.

One of the best Ramen in Chicago!
Met a guy, was told to eat here. It’s 10pm on Friday! I came, sat down, ordered, the food came super quick. All was good. I’d repeat
Still one of the best Ramen spot in Chinatown. The broth is so flavorful and creamy from the pork stock. Not watered down. Ordered the Tonkotsu ramen with pork belly and extra side of noodles. Pork belly was very amazing with the perfect amount of fat. Ramen noodles had perfect texture and taste.
Busy, but the wait time is short! I've been here recurring and I'm sure that every time, usually in the evenings, this place is busy. But the wait time is anywhere from 5-10 minutes. Their ramen is so good! One of my favorites in Chicago! I tried their spicy, and as a Mexican who eats Chile, I couldn't handle it, so beware.
Great Ramen joint worthy of competing with other Chicago places! I got the Tsukemen, which I believe is not their specialty, but quite good by American standards of ramen shops. Price was also great. I’d like to visit again and get their classic ramen to see if it’s worthy of being a 5/5
My love affair with ramen began around 2013 at Strings, initiated by a simple bowl of Tonkastu with kuro buta belly, an experience only comparable to my first dance with uni, my most favorite food.
Ramen is the most basic of foods, but if you are willing, it almost takes you away, perhaps that is why it is considered a working class meal because for a brief moment in time, between the slurps n splashes of gelatinous broth, silky noodles, and awakening chili oil, nothing matters.
After slurping my first ramen noodles and siphoning the broth, I looked up at my cousin and said, I have never had soup before today, a statement which still rings true.
Since then, I have been lucky enough to slurp delicious bowls in many amazing places around the USA, only one place compares to Strings, I love Strings.
Thank you to all of the chefs and staff who create and make this experience possible.
Cheers:)
Level 2 hell Ramen is spicy but not crazy. I do like spice, but next time I'll get the tonkatsu. The hell Ramen seems spicy just for the sake of spice.
Good portion.
Cozy Rameny atmosphere.
