Wow i am so happy i finally got to come here! it is a little smaller than i thought it would be, but it is so adorable. i love the red walls and the artwork throughout the restaurant. i also find it really cool that you have to walk down some stairs to enter. The miso mushroom ramen was really good. i liked the umami flavor of the broth, and i love anything that has mushrooms in it. they also have two desserts that i haven't had a chance to try, but are definitely on my list for next time
This considerably tiny ramen restaurant has a colossal taste. Your flavor palette will not be disappointed, each dish is like a personal gift. Though you might want to rush to get in it's first come first serve, but you won't want to rush to leave as the ambiance is quite nice and comfortable. An included photo of the entrance as it's a bit hidden.
I'd been saving this place place for a date night but absolutely had to get in when I heard they're closing next week. The space is so small! I've never been to a true ramenya, so maybe it adds authenticity? Ordered the tonkatsu, as one does at a ramen shop first time, and it was so delicious! The tonkatsu broth was so flavorful, the egg was so soy salty and custardy, and the pieces of pork were fall apart soft and just as delicious as the broth. I regret not trying it on my own, but I felt guilty occupying a table just for myself when tables are kind of at a premium.
Truly authentic Ramen. I was fortunate enough to live in Yokohama, Japan for 2 years and was able to experience many types of Ramen, and Red Light Ramen by far has the best Ramen in Milwaukee (even better than the best Ramen I've had in Chicago). Justin, the owner, and Zach, head chef, are amazing and could not be more hospitable. Oh yeah, the slushie drinks are great too! I cannot recommend Red Light Ramen highly enough. Authentic and delicious!!
Seriously one of the best ramen places that I’ve ever been to. The staff is wonderful and provided amazing service. Food is so amazing. I drove an hour and a half just to eat here. So totally worth it!!! Definitely would recommend.
Hands down my favorite ramen ever. Are there other good ramen spots in Milwaukee? Absolutely but this will always be my number one. The vegetarian Ramen is amazing, broth is super flavorful, love the tonkotsu egg and if you’re not doing bamboo shoots in your ramen what are you doing? I repeat, what are you doing? Of course you have to wash it down with a slushee (they will let you try it before you buy it). During this adventure we started out with the dumplings which was a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. Desert is also a must here, it never disappoints. This place is incredibly thoughtful in everything they do.

Have wanted to eat here for awhile. Very small cozy restaurant. Six tables and just as many seats at the bar. Arrived around 6:20pm and was able to sit right away but then there was a 20 minute wait for a table. We were able to have an appetizer, the snack pack, ramen bowl and dessert in an hour. The snack pack was whipped spam, homemade spicy pickles, nori and sauces. Never had spam before and this was fun. Really enjoyed the pickles which was a relief to the salty spam. Ordered the mushroom ramen bowl. Super flavorful mushroom broth, variety of mushrooms, generous serving. The other bowl was pork broth with pork belly. Generous portions and pork forward broth flavor. Also really enjoyed our slushees. I liked the Moscow mule over the brandy old fashioned. Dessert was a ginger semifreddo with rhubarb compote. There are 3 steps down from the side walk, I did not see a handicap accessible entrance. If you bring children, the chairs are Asian stools with no backs. Not sure about high chairs. Waitstaff was very attentive and explained all the dishes to us and included recommendations on how to best eat the dish.
I ordered the tonkotsu and my cousin had the mushroom miso.
She said it had a lot of mushrooms and got tired of them after a while. She also noted that she wished it was a bit saltier
I liked the assortment of toppings in my ramen. The noodles were good and the egg was soft boiled.
The broth for the tonkotsu was light. It had body but isn't strong.
The atmosphere was nice and the one restroom is clean.
We both ordered sake but you only get the one shot. I'm used to getting the bottle. We both spent about $20 for one drink and a bowl of ramen.
I've been to better ramen places in Florida, Washington, Nevada and Texas but so far this is the best one (and only one I've been to) in Wisconsin. They are better than the place I went to in Iowa.
Such a great food and great staff. The ramen bowls are generous. We tried the rice bowl and snack pack and enjoyed both. The staff were very welcoming towards our young kids. Great place
This place is way smaller than you think it is, but awesome. Being part Japanese, I had high expectations, and RLR met them. The egg in the Tonkotsu Ramen was to die for, and I want to eat it every day. The broth was flavorful, and the noodles were the perfect texture. We also got the Takoyaki Waffle, which was also great. My only complaint is that the appetizer portion was small, but the dinner portion was fine. Highly recommend, and get an appetizer too! They're different from appetizers that are normally at Japanese restaurants.
