Strings Ramen - Lakeview

Tried the Tonkotsu and Hell level 2 ramen. I loved both flavors, but hell level 2 made my nose run and if you slurp you're liable to choke. Definitely wouldn't chance it on a first date but that's your risk to take. The service is 10/10. It's a small place with only a few seats but they keep it moving. They're also generous with the water refills Vegetarian options: Several veg options

Perfect place for a cold night in Chicago! Good Ramen options to choose from. I also tried their Sui Gyoza but unfortunately they only had vegetable option available. I tried the traditional Tonkotsu Ramen it was it delicious. The place was full and the service of quick.

Amazing experience!! One of the few ramen places with non pork but still meat stock in the area. The chicken + turkey stock was rich and flavorful. Noodles are homemade! They are chewy and fresh. So good I HAD TO order another serving. Service was speedy and the staff was friendly. Highly recommend if you’re all about non pork stock and handmade ramen. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Great little spot for ramen. Interior decor is warm and lovely. Service was fast and food was delicious. Prices seemed reasonable. Really happy about this ramen spot in the neighborhood! Chicken gyoza were pretty outstanding I enjoyed my Shoyu with Kuro Buta ramen bowl Edamame was fine, could have had more flavorful seasoning I thought Spicy cat rice donburi was really tasty and the iwanori seaweed seasoning was unique and a smart add to that dish

Very cozy shop, less than a dozen tables for dine in. The menu is a QR code so the menu you see online is the same and up to date. Had the Hell Ramen: Level 3. Very spicy but not unmanageable if you are a fan of heat. The flavor was amazing! It has a sweet undertone and the broth will have you drinking from the bowl like a mug Gyoza was great, highly recommended as well. Really I doubt you could go wrong with anything... But I'll work through everything on the menu just in case

On a cold & rainy day, Strings Ramen hit the spot! It is conveniently located off of Belmont's Red Line, and the ramen is delicious. I was most impressed with the flsvorsble broth! I would absolutely recommend checking it out. Pro Tip: It is a small restaurant so during busy hours be prepared to have to wait a bit for a table. That said, the food comes out quick once you are seated and order!

First time at this Strings Ramen Shop location. We came right after the Cubs home opener and I guess we beat the rush because we were able to sit anywhere. Pictured and ordered here is the Tonkotsu Premium. Video also taken - check out on my Google Profile Photos or this spot's Google Page Photos. Should have ordered additional Hell Sauce; 1oz is not enough. Broth is a bit oily but the entire bowl was flavorful. Noodles are reminiscent of Oiistar's or vice versa!. Shop became busy within the hour we were there for both dine-in and take-out/delivery. I would say Strings Ramen Shop is one of my Top 5 favorite Ramen in the Chicagoland area. Features: Servers and Cooks continue to wear facemasks and have hand sanitizer available on the tables/throughout the shop.

We stopped here just before a concert while in Chicago. We got the chicken gyoza which were cooked to perfection and had this really delicious and spicy sauce to dip them in. I got the vegetarian miso ramen with an egg. The egg was cooked perfectly and the noodles were thin and delicious. The soup base was extremely flavorful and the tofu had great flavor and texture. It's a cute little place off the beaten path but I'd definitely come here again.

Spectacular Ramen! Had a hard time deciding, they all sounded soooo good. We ordered two Tonkotsu Spicy Clam and Pork ramen, and for full. Very cozy BYOB place in Lakeview. The service is super quick and the staff is very friendly. Worth the trip!!

i’ve been walking past this one for a while now and we checked it out the other night and i am so glad we did. nice to have a ramen joint right down the street we can frequent. i actually had the donburi and also edamame and gyoza and all were super tasty. i tried the ramen as well and looking forward to doing a whole one for myself next time. cute small space, felt a little like being back in Japan again.
