RAMEN-SAN — River North japanese where the Ramen sets the tone. Casual, established, and unapologetic about it. You're eating the real thing here. Open late. Eren Sanchez: "The tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful, and the chashu sooo tender"

Absolutely incredibly delicious ramen. Some of the best I've ever had, and I make a point to find good ramen joints. The service was exceptional, fast, and attentive. If you enjoy ramen dont miss out on this spot. I will be planning a return visit sooner than later. Enjoy Ramen-San!!!

Tried the veggie ramen at Ramen-san and really enjoyed it. The broth was flavorful and comforting, with fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked noodles. It was satisfying without being too heavy, and the overall quality was great. A solid spot for a delicious vegetarian ramen option.

“The ramen was delicious.”

The ramen was delicious. We waited in line for an hour outside in the cold but it was honestly worth it. Was hot and spicy and just hit the spot. Service was great too, very friendly, though the wait once inside was also quite long. Atmosphere was very upbeat. Really enjoyed my time here!

“Great stop on a freezing cold December afternoon before Christmas.”

Great stop on a freezing cold December afternoon before Christmas. The express lunch options were great, got to try out the the Tonkotsu broth, skirt steak and karaage chicken. The donuts were puffy with miso-caramel pastry cream making them perfect and not too sweet. Recommend a stop here.

Super fun vibe. Such great & kind service. Surfaces and restrooms clean. Great tasting food. Had the Tonkotsu Ramen with a few add-ons, and some appetizers included spicy wings (some of the best I’ve ever had), and some really yummy pork & shrimp dumplings.

“Good and service were top notch.”

Good and service were top notch. Highly recommend the 10 hour ramen, the pot and shrimp dumplings, as well as the donuts for dessert. Honorable mention to the pork belly bun as well!

“My go-to ramen spot in the loop, Ramen-San offers quick and friendly service, and amazing traditional ramen flavors.”

My go-to ramen spot in the loop, Ramen-San offers quick and friendly service, and amazing traditional ramen flavors. Even though their aesthetic leans more modern and hip, especially in their apps like their special take on karaage or gyoza, their 10-hour Tonkatsu is always in my top ramen list for its consistency and decadence. Today, their special was birria ramen so we had to try that too and it was so good - a rich but acidic forward broth with the cilantro and pickled red onions carrying the spicy broth to new heights.
