My wife and I enjoyed this ramen spot while visiting Chicago.
Walking in the door it has a really neat, eclectic, urban vibe to it.
Our waitress was super friendly and bubbly.
She even helped walk us through some of the different drinks and sake they had available.
We got a couple different types of ramen and both were super good.
The fried dumplings were next level though.
Only knocking a star because of the price.
Even for Chicago/Downtown prices, it was a little hefty.

Firstly, I am not from this city so have no bias, I have eat ramen across the world and my wife is Korean, this was the worst I've ever had.
Noodles were hard and stuck together, making them like concrete, now, I am pretty sure these were packet noodles too...but to make matters worse both bowls had the same problem, this is totally unacceptable when the noodles are everything.
Not sure what went wrong but I won't be back.
If you cannot make the noodles then try a different profession, and lose the loud music, that isn't the Japanese way.

Embarking on a flavor odyssey to Ramen-san in the heart of Chicago isn't just about indulging in umami delights; it's an entire experience that begins the moment you cross the threshold.
Picture this: a fun and inviting atmosphere that welcomes you like an old friend, with a vibe so lively it could make even the noodles dance in their bowls. From the get-go, the Tuna & Avocado Tartare isn't just a dish; it's a harmonious mingle at the crossroads of creamy and crispy, where sesame meets rice crisp in a culinary high-five.
It's the kind of starter that sets the stage for the symphony of flavors awaiting. Now, let's dive into the main act.
The Kimchi & Fried Chicken Ramen isn't just food; it's comfort in a bowl, with a spicy kick that wakes you up better than your morning coffee.
And the Sumo Ramen? It's like the heavyweight champion of flavor town, a bowl so satisfying, you'd think it was training for the ramen Olympics. But what really wraps the Ramen-san experience with a bow is the impeccable service.
On a bustling Chicago day, they didn't just welcome us; they stored our stroller like it was a cherished guest of its own.
It's this perfect service, combined with the spirited atmosphere, that makes Ramen-san more than just a meal - it's a destination. So, for a culinary adventure where the atmosphere is as delightful as the dishes and the service as stellar as the sumo-sized ramen, Ramen-san is your go-to.
It's a place where every slurp tells a story, every bite is a journey, and they treat your stroller like family.
Five stars to Ramen-san, among the elite in the Chicago ramen scene, where every visit is a flavor party.
