About
Ramen-San Lincoln Park — one of Lincoln Park's strongest japanese spots. Always packed, always worth it. The staff makes it feel personal, and open late. KTO: "The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the portions were generous"

SO good. the vegetarian option can be made vegan if you swap the noodles for rice noodles. make sure you get a reservation for a weekend visit though since it really fills up.

“Lunch special (called “express lunch”) is on point, at time I visited it was $17.95.”
Lunch special (called “express lunch”) is on point, at time I visited it was $17.95. You get a half portion ramen of choice, half portion rice plate, miso salad, and small (2-3 bites) of the edamame hummus with rice crisps. Lots of umami and the salad was refreshing. Place has thoughtful lighting, with lights directed specifically at tables as not to overwhelm the whole interior.

“Ramen-San is easily one of my favorite places in the city, and always has been.”
Ramen-San is easily one of my favorite places in the city, and always has been. They have my favorite apps, ramen and overall vibes. Perfect for a date night, casual hang, or New Year’s Day lunch with the family like we just did. I will never stop loving this place. Note: I like to get the Chicken Shio and ask for traditional pork broth instead. Absolutely smacks.

Great spot and we loved the downstairs cozy seating. The food was great, the chilli oil and powder pack a pinch and elevate the ramen if you want more kick out of it.
