4. Akahoshi Ramen

Exceptional(363)

Price: Moderate

• Japanese • Logan Square

Booked 116 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.

Before booking, please email us at info@elskerestaurant.com regarding any restrictions that are not listed above. We may be unable to accommodate certain restrictions, or diners with multiple restrictions.** Elske means love in Danish, a nod to both David Posey’s Danish mother and the fact that the couple got engaged in Copenhagen. “Our travels in Denmark have really influenced us,” Chef Posey said. “We like that clean, simple aesthetic.” The dining room — all crisp lines, minimalist décor & soft lighting — is anchored by a wide open kitchen on one side & a small patio with a working fireplace on the other. Combined with the friendly service, it creates the impression that you’re eating in a supremely tasteful Scandinavian friend’s weekend home.

A great place for a celebratory meal. Vibe is Rat Pack with a side order of 21st century clubstaraunt opulence. Stellar service, hit all the little marks that a lot of places miss these days. Nicci is an outstanding server. Definitely a $$$$ spot, but I think you get better quality for your money than many other steakhouses downtown. Uniquely delicious sausage and peppers; best tuna tartare I've had in ages; over the top king crab pasta. Sunday night they have Prime Rib -- stellar portion and great beef quality. LOVED the coconut cream pie with chocolate mousse NA beverage menu includes zero proof cocktails, wines and beer, nice touch.

Everything was wonderful Food, cocktails Recommendations service … The ONLY thing to improve upon and it’s small.. is the restroom experience Pathway to restrooms is downstairs … and Smelled like mildew and felt like a dungeon They Obviously cared enough to make the actual restroom nice and updated, but the hallway is unfinished and needs to be basement proofed and finished to match the level that the restaurant deserves

Wow is all I can say. We came for the Ramen (Midwest Shoyu and Akahoshi Miso), stayed for the Chashu rice - 2 orders it was amazing. It was absolutely phenomenal food, quick service. Watched the Ramen Lord in action and he even presented our Ramen at the counter! 10/10, eagerly looking forward to our next experience there.
