High Five Ramen

Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! One of Chicago's top Ramen spots for me! Definitely get their early! This underground spot has great ambience and jams, with 16-seats, reminiscent of Japanese taverns. Review here is on Saturday late afternoon after St Paddy's Day Parade and Chicago River dyeing. First in line at 305pm! Would rather wait in line before opening versus waiting in line after opening. Definitely get one of their bowls beginning at half spice. I typically get their Shoyu. Their Slushies are delicious but so are their selection of Sake. Can't wait for next visit!

Not a ramen expert but this was pretty fire, I got the Tonkotsu. The broth was levels above what I’ve had in the past and the pork belly was perfect. I got the 1/2 spice and it honestly wasn’t that spicy but it did leave my tongue a little warm. I’ll get the full spice next time. I also didn’t wait since I got there 15 min after opening and was alone so was seated immediately.

I liked that this place feels very exclusive. The vibe is cool and the food tastes delicious! I wish they took reservations because the wait time on a Thursday night is 1 hour. After that, the ramen is more on the pricier side than other ramens in the area. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for wait and price.

My usual ramen place closed early so i came across this place 30 mins before they closed. There were 5 of us and they were able to sit us with a 5 mins waiting period. Menu is very small but just enough selection. I ordered the signature bowl ramen and it was delicious.
