Price: Moderate

• Japanese • Logan Square

Booked 76 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.

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.

Very friendly staff and good service. Delicious coffee- I bought beans to take home. The bakery goods are wonderful and it’s fun to watch the bakers in the separate open kitchen by the front windows.
