Price: Moderate

• Japanese • Logan Square

Booked 34 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.

Loved the food here! The flavors were bold and the tapas concept is great for sharing with groups or on a date. The only complaint would be the tables were close together and the restaurant was very crowded and somewhat noisy. But better full and lively than empty!

I've been to Bamboo Club multiple times for different events, so I knew Santa Baby would be awesome. The decorations are super cute. Service was quick, food was great, and it wasn't noisy at all (I went at 4:30 on a Wednesday).

Overall, the best restaurant I’ve been to since moving to Chicago. The appetizers were phenomenal, the main courses felt a little short, but still we’re good . And I did notice that they forgot to give us our onion soup and sparkling water we ordered

The appetizer sampler plate was so filling that we almost didn't order anything else--but we managed a couple more things. Food was great, and the service was non intrusive--like dining in Europe, the servers gave us space and time to enjoy our meal.
