7. Akahoshi Ramen

4.8

Exceptional(352)

Price: Moderate

• Japanese • Logan Square

Booked 167 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.

I love going to your restaurant the food and the service is always very good. I recently joined the lettuce, entertain you rewards program, and was a little disappointed that I could not use my rewards as it was a Saturday. So if I had to change one thing that’s what I would change. Able to use your rewards at any day of the week
