Strings Ramen Shop Lakeview - Chicago

We are vegetarian and had no problem finding something to eat. The portions are huge and there are cool Japanese drinks. Service is quick and friendly. A great spot to go when it's cold and rainy. Noodles are perfectly cooked, the egg is perfectly cooked, and the broth is always so yummy.

Small cozy ramen shop that does the job. Tonkotsu: Get! This one had an amazingly rich broth that was a tad top oily/fatty for me. It was still tasty but my preference is a little bit cleaner for this. The noodles were great with a good bite and firmness to it. The pork belly was a big chunk of meat which I wasn't used to but meh it did the job. It's like $18 bucks though so it's definitely not that casual Service was super attentive and friendly and as a quick ramen stop... I was in and out in like 15 minutes. There's not that many tables or space though so it can get super crowded during meal times. At 2pm though it was quite easy and empty. Food: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 5/10 Value: 6/10

I come here all the time. The food is great, the service is very quick. Highly recommend

Pork in the tonkotsu ramen with kurobuta was tender with satisfying flavors that was not overpowering. A little pull with your chopsticks was enough to pull them apart. Woodear mushroom stood out because it was fresh and springy. Quality of noodles and broth were pleasing. Shoyu prime ramen overall did not have the same level of satisfaction and nothing special about the chicken gyoza. If I can go back, I wish I ordered an extra main dish like gyu don instead of the gyoza. The restaurant is nice and cozy with friendly service.

Fast, friendly service, yummy food and multiple vegetarian options. Portion sizes are large! Pictured is the Shoyu Vegetarian Ramen
