RAMEN-SAN, a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant in River North, serves bold, crave-worthy flavors with signature ramen like 10-Hour Tonkotsu and Spicy Fried Kimchi, plus bao buns, rice dishes, shareable…
some of the best ramen ive ever had. the portions are a good size, the price for what you are getting is fabtastic. i am so excited to eay from here again. I got the Sumo Bowl and my bf got the 10 Hour Tonkotsu. the sumo bowl is massive, if you do take out I would suggest have an extra large bowl available. genuinely enjoyed yhe food

Ramen-San is synonymous with some of the best ramen in the Midwest. If you are looking for a comforting, flavour-packed bowl on a cold Chicago evening, this is the place to go.
I have only visited the location at 52 W Hubbard, so I can confidently recommend that one, although I expect the others maintain the same high standard.
My favourite dish is the kimchi and the fried chicken ramen. The Tan Tan San is excellent, and I always add chashu pork for protein—it takes an already delicious dish to the next level. Sushi is ok but this place to me is for ramen.

This place has the best Crab Rangoons I've ever tried - and I try crab Rangoons everywhere. It's not particularly close. The ramen is also spectacular. Super great quality and consistent. I order the 10 Hour Tonkotsu at least once a week because it is so good. The TanTan-San is also incredible. One of my favorite restaurants for sure.

Their packaging and quality has gone down hill. I will not be ordering from here again. Recommend high five ramen instead. Broth everywhere and their quantity of broth they give is less than before in addition to being spilt all over the bag.

stayed warm for a 30+ min drive, Pork Belly Bun was delicious! sweetish kimchi pickle was a good contrast! 10 Hour Tonkotsu was pretty much perfect! i wish the egg was marinated with soy and not quite as sweet. didnt love the huge amount of bamboo shoots but thats just me. i would definitely and will be ordering again!
