Over dit restaurant

Hotspot
Juweeltje in de wijk
Goed voor speciale gelegenheden

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.

Waarom dit pareltjes zijn

Van de OpenTable-redactie: One of Bon Appétit's 2024 best new restaurants in America, this Logan Square spot is the brainchild of Mike Satinover, better known as "Ramen Lord" to the fan base he built up over a decade posting about ramen on Reddit. Get comfortable at one of the spacious booths, or watch the action at the counter overlooking the kitchen, and choose from four different ramens like the Akahoshi Miso, with pork chashu and bamboo shoots. Each bowl is made with incredible attention to detail, showcasing just how nuanced ramen can be.

My gf got thee signature restaurant miso ramen, and the meat was cold at the center. It came out a bit too salty. Couldn’t finish the broth. The May special was a hit for me: Kitakata Chashu-men. The Chashu Rice Bowl was small and simple. The rice can use more flavoring. The protein portion was small. The service was very quick, maybe too quick to warm up the meat before serving. lol….

There is a reason it’s hard to get a reservation. Food is out of this world. We had a party of 6 and tried almost everything on menu and couldn’t decide which was best as they were all that good.

As always, the ramen was simply outstanding! One can tell from the ingredients and the execution that a lot of hard work and care went into each dish!

We got the akahoshi miso and the clam (April special). Both broths were sooooo salty and it made the experience not nearly as enjoyable. We probably won’t be back.

Akahoshi is always a solid choice if you want to taste some true depth in the broth. The fresh noodles have been mastered and when you taste their miso broth, you wish you could live in the bowl. Definitiley one of the most respectable Ramen spots in Chicago.
