Throughout my past few years in Chicago, I have visited Ramen Wasabi multiple times and can confidently say that it is one of my favorite ramen shops in the city. The restaurant is a cute little spot on a somewhat quieter part of Milwaukee Ave. Sometimes there's a long wait, but I'd say it's worth it. Out of everything I've had here, my top recommendations are the chicken karaage and the Sapporo Miso ramen. The chicken karaage is freshly fried with a crisp exterior and a juicy inside. Make sure to squeeze some lemon juice onto it! The Sapporo Miso ramen is literal perfection on a chilly day. The broth screams of comfort (this is my best attempt at describing it) and the noodles have an excellent springy texture to it. Their ramen eggs are actually perfect in every single bowl of ramen. Other items I've had that I enjoyed are the Original Tonkotsu ramen, the Hakata Classic ramen, and the Tsukemen. Every bowl of ramen they make is fantastic! If there's anything I would suggest skipping, it would be the pork belly buns. Although they are still delicious, I think it's better to enjoy the pork belly in a bowl of ramen instead of in a bao bun. The restaurant always feels lively and is well-decorated. The prices are typical of ramen in Chicago at around $15-20 per bowl if I recall correctly. For the quality of ramen I'm getting, I'd say it's worth it! Service is also solid every time, so I have no complaints there. Food: 4.75/5 Service: 4.25/5 Price: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.5/5

Super cute spot! No reservations, I came at 9:15 on a Wednesday and sat no problem! I can't believe how fast the service is here. Our appetizer was brought out in seconds and main was brought out in minutes. We got the Brussels to start. These were great! Soooo crispy and it had a special sauce that was amazing. For my main I got the garlic miso ramen. This was so good! Not too salty or too oily, just perfect! So much flavor! Only thing is it could have been a bit spicier for me, but I like things really spicy! Can't wait to come back!

This is the best ramen I've had in Chicago. I had the Spicy Garlic Miso Ramen with the Kakuni pork and it was a good balance of spice, umami, and garlic flavor. The Kakuni pork brought the ramen to the next level. I think it cost extra but it's worth it because it was tender and it packed so much flavor. For appetizers, I had the Pork Belly Bun and Takoyaki. Both were amazing and I would recommend! The workers were nice and attentive and we got our food pretty quickly.

wow the spicy miso ramen was so good!! meat was so soft and tender. flavorful as well as the broth. pretty filling portion size and a great dish for the rainy weather recently. quick service too!

We came here for dinner on a Saturday evening and I'm glad we got to check this place out! I had the vegan ramen and the broth was fantastic. I also like spicy food so it was nice to have the option to make it spicier. While it's still chilly out, I'm going to enjoy having this place as an option.

I got the Hakata Red Ramen and thought it was pretty good. People are nuts for saying this is the "best ramen they've ever had", but it was good. My critiques and why I give them a 4/5 is the stinginess. I've never been to a ramen place that charged you extra to make the dish spicier. I love my spicy food, but i'm not going to pay extra for it when every other place i've been to keeps chili powder or chili oil on the tables to adjust it to your liking. I also paid for the $2 "butter + corn" and i swear to god they give you like 10 kernels in a little container you'd put ketchup in. the butter slice was also the skinniest little sliver of butter. was definitely a rip off. now for the dish, i thought the broth was rich and tasty. i would personally give the spiciness level a 2.5/10. the noodles were great though! i came here on a saturday night and the wait was an hour and a half. the parking is absolutely horrendous and i drove around for like 20 minutes before i found a spot on Maplewood and Fullerton. I would recommend going to those cross streets first since i found quite a few spots on that main road, then i walked through the neighborhood next to the restaurant. the parking i found on those cross streets was free btw. i would come back if parking wasn't so stressful.

Best Ramen I have ever had, by far. The bone broth and the pork belly are oh so tasty! The marinated bamboo shoots - frign A+ addition to this ramen. Will definitely be returning for more. Service was great, such good vibes here - specifically from Alexander! Also love how open the place is, it's very bright, lots of window seats with really comfy booths. Parking was easy, we got a spot right outside. My sister and I came here right at 3 and Alexander politely let us know that their last call is 3:10, because they close at 3:30 - which is very reasonable and we were thankful they served us. We did witness a customer coming in 3 minutes before 3:30 who caused a scene and banged on the window because she missed last call - wild move lol. Lunch and a show!

Ramen Wasabi is such a great neighborhood spot. There are lots of ramen options in Logan square, but Wasabi remains a favorite for me and my friends. We just keep coming back! One thing I really like about this place is that there are lots of non ramen options. The pork buns are a beloved favorite in particular. The beef and rice bowl I had this time was great. It's also a really wonderful option for cocktails. We tried a few things at our table and everything was delicious. Service is solid. The lack of reservations is annoying (especially since they already use Resy to manage their wait-list) but the wait wasn't too bad and the team is good about communicating.

Ugh, this place was fantastic. The wait was pretty long, even on a weeknight, but there are a couple cool breweries/bars within walking distance to kill some time. We started with kimchi spring rolls, and honestly, these were phenomenal. The perfect appetizer to share. The ramen came out shortly after and was absolutely amazing. I got the basic ramen without any changes and it was to die for. I left overly stuffed because it was so hard not to have "just one more bite!" We got a nice corner table, but I think it's important to note that there are communal tables and bar seating as well. I imagine you wait less time for those seats. The place was packed until closing, but they didn't make us feel rushed at any point. So glad this was my intro to ramen. Absolutely delicious.
