Description

Located in Chicago’s bustling River North, Fulton Market and Streeterville neighborhoods, Ramen-san is a lively neighborhood noodle den and bar reminiscent of traditional ramen shops in Japan and features a half-dozen different bowls of ramen, blast-chilled beer and rare expressions of Japanese whisky. Open for lunch, dinner and late night, the menu also incorporates Asian-inspired offerings like traditional okonomiyaki on the weekends and Late Night Fried Rice daily after 10 PM.
