Exceptional(360)

Price: Moderate

• Japanese • Logan Square

Booked 37 times today

Akahoshi Ramen is a humble ramen shop in the city of Chicago. Everything is made in the restaurant, including all soups, seasonings, toppings, and noodles. We are not an authentic ramen shop, though we value the history of ramen, and our ramen is influenced by its past and its future potential. The dish, popularized in Japan after World War 2, is symbolic of both struggle and perseverance. It is both a simple dish, and a fantastically complex one that we treat with reverence and respect. Roughly translating to “Red Star,” the name “Akahoshi” is a love letter to two cities; Sapporo, Hokkaido, where red stars adorn city monuments, and Chicago, Illinois, where the red star decorates the city flag. Our ramen is influenced by Japanese and American ideals in cooking. We hope you will join us to enjoy a bowl of ramen, made with the respect and passion it deserves.

Every bite was outstanding! Portions are small - plan to order 2 plates per person or more. But, quality is absolutely excellent. Some of the best bites of the year for me!

Visited Daisies for a holiday dinner and a belated birthday celebration. My friend and I couldn’t have been treated with better service and consideration by the staff and kitchen. Daisies is a true gem in Logan Square.

Visiting Chicago and this place is a must during the holidays. Our server was amazing. Food was good, decorations were out of this world. We took a lot of great pictures. The only downside was we placed 2nd in music bingo. Thank you Santa Baby for helping to make our visit to Chicago just a bit more magical.
