Great ramen with nice, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles—definitely worth trying. However, the staff seemed unfriendly, which affected the overall experience. I hope the service improves because the food is excellent.

We arrived around 2 PM. While it wasn't packed, it was quite busy, and I believe there were only three tables available at the time. We were seated and helped immediately. There isn’t much seating inside the restaurant, I think there were a maximum of ten seats. Our servers were nice and attentive, even though it was very busy! We ordered tonkotsu ramen and spicy vegetarian ramen, both of which were absolutely delicious. The ramen noodles were firm yet soft, maintaining a lovely texture. My tonkotsu ramen broth was rich and flavorful, and it came with a generous piece of pork belly. This is definitely one of the few places that truly knows how to make ramen. I highly recommend it and would definitely come back.

My first visit to Strings Ramen was an absolute revelation, and it immediately earned a spot as one of my new favorite spots! I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen with Kuro Buta, and it was seriously phenomenal.
The broth was rich, creamy, and deeply flavorful—you can taste the hours of dedication that go into making it. The Kuro Buta was tender and savory, and the noodles had the perfect bite. It's the standard by which I'll measure all other Tonkotsu from now on!
Equally impressive was the service, especially from Peter. As a first-time guest, he was incredibly welcoming, took the time to walk me through the menu, and offered fantastic, patient recommendations. He checked in just the right amount and made the entire dining experience smooth and enjoyable.
Thank you, Peter, and the entire Strings team, for a truly 5-star meal! I can't wait to come back and try more next time I'm in Chicago!

The staff was ok. The food was kinda mid. The chili had no oil in it and it was not spicy. Its a chill place but there's better food in the area.

It was delicious I had the chicken boku. The meat was really good and soft. The broth was really light, and not a flavor impacting broth. The noodle were good nothing special.

This was probably the fastest I’ve ever received a bowl of ramen (less than 10min). Also the size of the loin was massive in the super premium tonkotsu.

Average Ramen shop, the ramen portions is very small.
The best ramen we’ve found in Chicago - or anywhere for that matter! There’s lots of ramen joints in the city, so this says a lot. Very cute atmosphere as well. BYOB. Go for the pork tonkotsu with pork belly - you will not be disappointed!

Absolutely delicious! 😍 I tried their ramen and every single one was amazing — from the vegan to the pork, everything is full of flavor. They also sell the most viral TikTok ice creams 🍦🔥 and I totally recommend them all! You can really taste the love in every dish. Can’t wait to come back!
