    Really great flavorful ramen. It was a bit too salty for me at some point. When they say spicy though, they really mean it. It was an intimate space with a dark and cool ambiance. Great service and staff.

    Cozy ramen spot for a chilly Chicago evening! We arrived Saturday evening at around 5pm. Be prepared to wait 2-2.5 hours, but once you are seated, you will be treated with casual yet courteous service! There are only 4 ramen bowls to choose from, and only one option for vegetarian/vegan folks. I ordered the Mushroom Maitake bowl with Full spice (very spicy but really hits on a chilly day). In addition, the coconut drink tastes like a refreshing Piña colada! I highly recommend this place, but definitely make sure to plan to wait a few hours especially on a Saturday evening. It'll be well worth the wait!

    High Five is definitely my favorite Ramen spot in Chicago! I usually order the Maitake Ramen without seasoned egg with half spice level. The taste is SO good, not even hyping up! The broth is made of mushroom, and it's delicious! My boyfriend got the Shio ramen without pork belly and he liked his Ramen as well. The only meat they have is pork belly, no chicken/ beef. I also ordered a snow maiden Sake along with my Ramen and the combination was perfect! Be careful of what spice level you choose, they definitely aren't joking when they say that their spice levels are feisty! This Ramen spot has very limited seats (not more than 10-12) They do not take reservations and usually wait time is a lot (at least over an hour over the weekends) My boyfriend and I usually write down our names and explore West Loop area in the meantime. The ambiance is a bit rusty and gives a typical speakeasy vibe. Our server during most of my visits was Shayan and she is pretty cool. I love her sassy and witty comments! I recommend this Ramen spot 11/10. It's simply the best!

    OMG...this place was mouthwatering delicious... Ordered the tonkotsu ramen...which also is mixed in with miso. Did 1/4 spicy and I like spicy...could have added a tad more. It was BOMB. Original. Unique flavors. The pork belly literally melted in your mouth. We waited an hour or so...worth it . We got drink and 1 sushi roll across the street at Dokku.
