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.

    An incredible restaurant with impeccable service! Seating in the dining room was amazing, but a bit loud. The bar area had live music (Thursday - Saturday) and we grabbed a drink after dinner and really enjoyed the atmosphere here. Moody, dim lighting, velvet, old school, upscale. Plan to spend a pretty penny, but it’s so worth it! We started off with specialty cocktails that were delicious (Whiskey Sour and Dirty Martini). For starters we ordered the Sausage and Peppers (9/10) and it was a very unique and tasty spin on the Italian classic & Shrimp Cocktail (10/10) which was so fresh and delicious. We continued with the Caesar Salad (9/10) it was made table side so that was a fun experience - it was creamy and crisp, with the most delicious fluffy croutons. For our main courses we ordered the Lobster Pasta (10/10) that had an incredible presentation and delicious flavor with plentiful amounts of lobster. The Kansas City Strip (7/10) ended up being our least favorite, but it comes down to preference. We prefer Ribeye usually, but decided to try a different cut this time - it was cooked to perfection and charred deliciously, though. We finished the night with the Raspberry Sorbet (10/10) which was light fresh and zesty! The Tiramisu (8/10) was great as well and a really big portion. A perfect place to celebrate!
