• Japanese • Logan Square
Booked 10 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.

    Finally got a reservation here 🙌🏽 And oh was it it worth it! We sat at the counter and got to see the magic happen. Ramen Lord himself even brought us our ramen which was pretty neat. Definitely will be fighting for another reservation to try the variations of ramen they introduce throughout the year. Shoutout to Mo, our server, for his kindness and cool demeanor.

    The paella is out of this world. There are so many tapas, you can make a meal out of them! Also, the Sangria is the absolute best I've ever had (I highly recommend the passion fruit sangria!!!)

    We recently dined at Elia for the first time and were thrilled with our experience! Mustafa, our attentive server, made sure we were well taken care of. The food was outstanding—don't miss the Chef Selection Mezze and the mixed grill platter for two, both offering fantastic variety. Each dish was beautifully presented, and the team was incredibly hospitable. We can't wait to come back!
