Strings Ramen Shop Madison

Visited String Ramen with a group of friends, and while the food was great, the service left us disappointed. One friend ordered the spicy ‘Hell Ramen’ and needed a water refill. We tried to get the server’s attention by saying ‘excuse me’ as she passed by, and although she clearly heard us, she chose to ignore us. When my friend waved to get her attention, she turned back only to say, ‘I’m busy.’ My friend had to get water refill himself..

For a restaurant that adds an 18% gratuity for parties of five or more, we were expecting a basic level of attentiveness. Being busy is understandable, but outright ignoring guests felt unprofessional.

It was a luke warm November evening. I was practicing my card counting at the Ho chunk casino after I hit it big. While playing blackjack, I had a vision: The Prefecture of Gunma, Japan materialized in front of me and told me I needed to go to the slot machines... immediately.

Although I believed my recent vision, I was also wondering how real my vision was, since I took an obscene amout of Acid prior to my gambling session (I'm down $557.43 but it helps me lock tf in), I had faith in Gunma. So I proceeded to head to the nearest slot machine: a wild west slot. I put $50 in and went all in. The slots began to roll with high-pitched jingle. The slots continued to roll. I then heard: "Ding. Ding. Ding." I landed on all ramen bowls?

Immediately, a high pitched whistle began to scream from the machine and anime characters flew out of it. I was in shock. I was then picked up by Gumball (from the amazing world of gumball) and a random minority character. I was then taken, to an unknown location. The front of a ramen shop?

The door had "strings ramen" on it.i thought to myself: "well, I am a little hungry. Its worth a shot. Plus, I need a break from all these major wins I've been having!" I entered and was immediately greeted by all the staff bowing to me on the floor. They took a carpet (blue) and laid in out in front of me to my table. I then seated myself and ordered a bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen with Pork Belly. It came within 4 minutes (not the pork, the ramen). The bowl was glistening like my homies oiled up cheeks under the full moon. It was filled with KSI's hair (bamboo shoots), delta 45 THC (seaweed), the nonchalant deadhead's dandruff (ramen), and Charlotte (pork belly).

I immediately chowed down and finished with 602.65s. I then observed my bowl gain sentenience and walk itself back to the kitchen. I then tipped 4650baht and gave my sincere thanks to the individuals who created this heavenly dish. I left with my tummy full and my gyatt even fuller. Inshallah.

This morning, I sat across from the doctor as he looked me in the eyes and told me I had only 24 hours left to live. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. I had so much left to do. I was just two years into paying off a 30-year mortgage. My beloved cockroaches—Jequisha Acadamious Tarantino and Kevin Garret Ford—would have no one to feed them, and my hardwood floors would grow dusty without me to wax them.

But then, a strange clarity washed over me—I knew exactly what I had to do. I went home, released Jequisha and Kevin to roam free, turned my back on everything, and began walking. I walked all the way from Dubuque, Iowa, through pain and fatigue, pushing my body beyond its limits, driven by a force I couldn’t name. When my vision blurred, the distant glow of Heaven’s Kitchen somehow kept pulling me forward.

When I finally stumbled through their doors, there was a chair waiting for me, as if fate itself had saved it just for this moment. My final task, my last purpose—was here: to sit down, devour ramen, and in my own small, reckless way, stimulate the economy. It’s all I’d ever wanted, really (I’ve never been one for financial responsibility).

So I cashed in every last bit of dogecoin along the way, holding onto whatever hope I could find, and somehow, miraculously, I’d made enough. With what remained of my strength, I ordered the infamous Hell Ramen Level 5 and ate as if my life depended on it. The heat seared through me, an ichor burning in my veins, as if that fire itself could keep me alive.

And now, 24 hours have come and gone, and I’m still here. Day 3 has passed, and I’ve returned home, a fiery warmth in my soul, still feeling that hellish ramen fueling my every step like a finely tuned Harley Davidson engine.

When I opened the door to my house, I was met by a swirling, writhing wave of cockroaches. Jequisha and Kevin had multiplied in my absence, a vast, unstoppable horde of shiny exoskeletons and twitching antennae, their tiny pincers holding me down in a bone-crushing embrace of love. I am no longer their owner—I am their ruler. Together, we roam the block, and they call me Greg, their leader. The fire in my soul keeps them calm. Heaven’s Kitchen gave me life, and now, with my loyal swarm, I’m unstoppable. My hardwood shines with their feathery legs.

Thank you, strings.

Especially with Ramen Kid closing, this is the best ramen in Madison. The crab spicy miso is a rare find at Ramen places generally, and it's the choice here for sure

I have gone there a few times now, and it has always been great. The ramen is perfect, and I love that you can buy extra noodles when you run out. The broth is amazing. The atmosphere is always great as well, and I will be coming back here for a while.

get hell ramen level 1

Of ALL the ramen places in Madison, Strings is the best. The Tonkatsu with Pork Belly is the best I’ve ever had, and their non-Ramen options are equally delicious. Service is super fast and you get in-get out very quickly. No easy parking options, but absolutely worth a trip!

I ordered a fish rice dish with roe. Kind of out there for me at the time which is why this only gets a 4 stars. But my mother and my father absolutely loved their Tonkotsu ramen!

Vegetarian options: Many.

Parking: Parking garage right across the street!

One of my favorite Ramen Bowl places. Always a nice time meeting my son there for lunch. Don't buy a new shirt and then try to slurp up the Miso ramen without making a mess.
