Birdman Ramen — well-regarded japanese in Lakeview. Sleek and intentional, with the aesthetic dialed in. Presentation matters here, and every dish shows care, and BYOB. Ramin Homyak: "The broth was rich and creamy with just the right kick of spice"

I feel bad giving them 2 stars because the service was so great, but the food just isn’t it.
This was our first time dining at your restaurant, and we were really looking forward to it.

“What a cool funky place.”
What a cool funky place. BYOB, so be sure to bring your sake or beer of choice with you. Great mocktail menu as well. Menu is structured a bit differently… decided to try their feature Chicken based soup, and it was delicious. Not my typical, but it was fun to go outside of my porky norm. They do offer a Tonkatsu, so I will be back. Service was super great. Very welcoming and professional, felt attended to and have no complaints. Do yourself a favor and ask for the dessert menu. So many great options, and the cheesecake did not disappoint.

“Great food, alot of flavor.”
Great food, alot of flavor. Gyoza was very good and the spicy garlic edamame was a great starter. Service was quick and attentive. Came on. Saturday night around 7 and only waited 5-10 min. Cool atmosphere and fair pricing. Would totally come back. It was a great choice for date night.

This is the best ramen places in Chicago! Great vibe inside and playlist was so calming, food was unreal, I would recommend the Szechuan tori paitan with chicken karaage! Olemich gave great service and was so friendly! 10/10 would recommend.

“This was perfect for the price and you definitely get a lot for what you pay for.”
This was perfect for the price and you definitely get a lot for what you pay for. I got the szechuan tori paitan with chicken karaage. For $17 and it was so filling. We also got the shrimp and crab wonton which was perfect. We were served by Olemich who was so helpful in helping us recommend food. Definitely one of the best ramen spots in the city

Amazing Ramen with lots of options and the broth is flavorful with depth and the ingredients are blended perfectly. Try the garlic miso broth and don't sleep on the crab wonton appetizer!
