Oiistar is my go-to ramen spot. The food is phenomenal! Everything I've tried from their menu is delicious (and I've tried A LOT). My favorite is their #3, but I recommend their #5 (pictured) if you like your ramen spicy.
My family recently came to visit and I made the mistake of bringing them here on their first night. They kept wanting to go back!

Rich ramen with a very well marinated pork loin. They have lots of options for bao buns and small list of dessert…which you probably won’t need given the size of the ramen. Overall, a wonderfully sweet spot in Wicker Park. If you’re in the area and wondering where to eat, give this place a try!

Have had both #2 and and #7 they are both so unique and distinct but both great. Big bowls great for winter

I came here because of the great reviews, but unfortunately I was extremely disappointed. The broth was completely flavorless, and honestly the entire bowl lacked any real taste. The only redeeming item was the fried garlic chicken, which was great, which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. That said, I would not recommend coming here for the ramen you will likely leave disappointed.

Great ramen and neighborhood vibe is great. Lots of vintage shops, if you are into that around here. Parking is tough and are all street parking (side streets are permit parking.

I’ve been coming to Oiistar for the past 10 years and it never disappoints. Taste, portions, and service are always on point.
Best bowl of ramen in the city!

Stopped for a quick bite and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The ramen was rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Alex took the time to walk us through the menu and made excellent recommendations that really elevated our meal. Fantastic service and delicious food! We will absolutely be back!

Ramen was absolutely amazing. Can’t get a much better meal on a chilly night in Chicago.
Oiistar is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Sunny is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing ramen. Must come back. 10/10.

Love the pork belly ramens that I have tried. Wasn’t into the kimchi rice main but I think that’s just personal preference. Big portions. I always try and sit at the chefs counter it’s out of the way and fun to watch them. Always try and go near open or close so I don’t have to wait for a table.

This restaurant is PHENOMENAL! Food came out in less than 10 minute intervals, and we had a VIP view of the kitchen at our seats. The quality of food was next level - each item was meticulously plated and each bite was better than the previous. Highly recommend, it is the best restaurant in Wicker Park.
