• Japanese • Logan Square
Booked 12 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.

    EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!! This is the place where we bring our out of town friends/family because it is so fantastic! The owners have put so much thought into every detail it's amazing. The food, however, is meh. It is typical bar food but the fries are sub par. They are soft and floppy, barely cooked and served medium warm. In the fire I would request extra crispy fries to ensure that they are cooked properly. Still, the fries did not impact the great time we have every year:)
