I rated the atmosphere a 4 star because the bartender splashed lemonade all the way from the bar over on me and my son and wasn’t going to apologize until I brought it to her attention.
Great place to chill. They have great appetizers and ramen. Always come back again with friends. Server was so sweet!
We were seated quickly.
Lovely place and the food was amazing. Came for lunch on New Year’s Eve and the crowd was not bad at all.

“I rated the atmosphere a 4 star because the bartender splashed lemonade all the way from the bar...”
I rated the atmosphere a 4 star because the bartender splashed lemonade all the way from the bar over on me and my son and wasn’t going to apologize until I brought it to her attention. Other than that this was a great outing for me and my son. The food was great, the waiter was awesome, he was very attentive and I needed that as I don’t usually eat this type of food but my son does. So yep! We will be back soon. 😊

“Wonderful choice for Ramen in Fulton Market area.”
Wonderful choice for Ramen in Fulton Market area! Pork belly bun and Tonkatsu Ramen had great flavor and hearty portion. Definitely a great choice if you’re in the area.

“You really can't go wrong with either of the Ra-men San locations.”
You really can't go wrong with either of the Ra-men San locations. This is a LEYE restaurant and their organized attention to detail really shows. I've been to this location at least twice, both times for lunch. Their Lunch Express is excellent. It's a collection of three different dishes with a fun little extra. Our extra yesterday was edamame hummus. Excellent. The Big Eye tuna ends up as a tasty mini poke bowl. Also, know that the veggie ramen brings the heat -- the spice heat. So if you like that, you will be good to go. There were three of us in the front table booth. We indulged by splitting the most amazing purple dessert. I know, at lunch. Holidays! Can't remember the name, but am posting a picture. Enjoy.

“The place has a cool vibe.”
The place has a cool vibe. We made a reservation and was seated immediately. I had the kimchi and fried chicken. It was awesome. It had a little kick to it but not overwhelming. Also ordered the fried dumplings. These were outstanding as well.

“2nd time coming to RAMEN-SAN, first time at this location though so totals up to two.”
2nd time coming to RAMEN-SAN, first time at this location though so totals up to two. Service/waiter was good he recommended some dishes and was quick with questions when needed. I got the chicken shio ramen and it was delicious and filling with the Windy City of Chicago blowing. Will be back when I’m in Chicago!

“Everything was great.”
Everything was great! The music was good, great vibes. It was really crowded for a Tuesday afternoon. Even though I didn’t have a drink the bar was pretty stocked. This is a great place to have lunch with friends or co workers. Great place but I found it a little crazy to have a random surcharge without explanation.

“RAMEN-SAN Whisky Bar in Fulton Market is another hit.”
RAMEN-SAN Whisky Bar in Fulton Market is another hit! We both went for the 10-hour tonkotsu and it did not disappoint! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and the chashu was ridiculously tender. The same great taste as our usual RAMEN-SAN location! The vibe here is just as good as the others...fun, cozy, and full of energy! Great music, great service, and everyone’s super friendly. RAMEN-SAN has the best ramen in the city and quite honestly the BEST I've tried outside of Japan! Can't wait to be back!
