    I tried to reserve a table online, but it wasn't accepted. When I called during dinner hours, they took the reservation. The interior looks cute with the wall posters and ceiling decoration. There is a lot of options on the menu. We tried the Seafood Okonomiyaki which was a decent potion, but there was little seafood. The Yellowtail Collar was crispy and we liked it. The Unagi Rice with tea was just right. The Beef Vegetable fried rice as a value deal, but a little too salty. I liked the broth for the Chasu Ramen, but the portion was very small. You probably have to add a lot of add-ons if you want it as an entrée. We finished the mean with Taiyaki for dessert. This time, I saved room for dessert.

    For a place with high stars, I really expected some decent food. We scan the menu, because its a kind of self service place, and we ordered the Takoyaki, our usual favorite appetizer. We receive it, to only bite into a COLD MIDDLE. The octopus was still COLD!!! BUT, we tried to remain optimistic for the ramen.. as someone that has tried ramen all over chicago, this ramen fine. It was so pretty inside, we wanted to like it so bad. But, for the price i paid, I really expected more decent quality food. Maybe, we should try something else?? Its so Prettyyyy inside tho, good photo opp.

    Extremely slow service. It took more than an hour to serve our party of 9. Even after all the food was finally served to our table, we had to chase down one of the waitresses to get her attention to pay the bill.

    Shinya ramen house in Bridgeport is located nicely on Halsted. They had a large menu which was great because we got to choose from so many things! All the ordering was done on the phone, this helped make the food come out super quickly! We were super impressed with their service. They had awesome decor in the restaurant too! We love the Don bowls and beef skewers from the grills. The ramen was good too.

    Let's talk about this little gem in the heart of Bridgeport Chicago! Hubby orders there ramen faithfully! However we came in and presented so much more! The bulgogi rice was so good and well flavored. The egg on top of the bulgogi rice was perfect. We also had the sausages (mini hotdogs) , gyoza , hubby also had garlic pork ramen & I had the chicken curry! It was so good. The chicken Karage was also bomb bomb bomb; definitely use the aioli that comes with it. Overall from the anime ambiance, the food, the mango smoothies and the pina colada 20/10 ! Follow me on Instagram/Tiktok @damnthosesteaktacos to see the in person experience!

    One of my favorite spots to get ramen. My family and I used to go when they even opened in the morning! The place is really nicely decorated to get ramen late afternoon. I would recommend ordering the shrimp they're super good the flavor is just amazing on them. Obviously you can never go wrong with edamame, I wasn't a big fan of the friend calamari it was a bit tender and hard to bite amazing flavor though. The ramen was fantastic I finished it all. Everyone there working was really kind even when my mom was struggling to eat her ramen with chop sticks lol. Will be going again with my girls! TikTok: https..lauracitlaly

    This spot is a great late-night option with a very cute interior and affordable prices. We tried a variety of small plates, including tofu, eggplant, potato croquettes, and crab rangoons, and appreciated the many vegetarian and vegan options available. I also had the tofu miso ramen. While the food was fresh and felt much healthier than typical late-night fare, most dishes lacked seasoning and ended up tasting a bit bland. I think fixing that could take this place to a whole new level!

    Unagi Kabayaki (grilled eel with homemade sauce)

    Midnight ramen and eel to celebrate the start of my birthday! Excellent food, service, and vibe. Looking forward to making this a new tradition!

    I honestly hate to leave bad reviews but save yourself time and skip this place for your next ramen stop. Everything was tasteless and mid. Starting with appetizers, our fried calamari was so overcooked it legit was rubbery. Edamame too was soggy? Not sure how to truly describe it but it just felt like it was soaked in water. The ramen broth was watery and lacked so much flavor. It tasted watered down. The tonkotsu don wasn't much better either. One of the two pork patties was literally all bone!! Onions were supposed to be caramelized too, but a lot of it wasn't cooked all the way down. Our waiter also didn't speak a peep to us... Definitely not worth coming back to try the other dishes.

    This place was a bit far to get to from downtown Chicago. We made reservations and I'm glad we did because it seemed pretty crowded. I ordered the tofu miso udon ramen. Broth was alright - nothing spectacular. Just felt like hot noodle soup for me - comforting and relaxed. Enjoyed the mango sake. Service is pretty quick - you can order directly from the table via a QRcode app that's linked to your table.

    Decent street parking. Service was friendly but there was only one server for most of the restaurant. Food was good. A tad on the salty side for my taste. The Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen was a bit salty and fishy for my taste. Not a big fan of macha ice cream but it was a hit with the rest of the table. Overall it was a good meal.

    Absolutely delicious! 12/10. Fresh and crunchy cucumber with a nice flavor of spice.  6. Spicy Cucumber Salad

    Great environment. Quiet and cute. Perfect for a get together or midnight snack! The staff is very welcoming and it smells wonderful inside!

    Late night ramen on the south side? Yes! Shinya is a cool small cozy place nested on Halsted. I've eaten here a handful of times and leave full and happy every time. Ramen is good no matter which one you order. Grilled calamari is ok, not my favorite. The oysters were good. And the gyu don rice is amazing. The ribeye beef skewers are good as well. Drinks were tasty. You walk in and see just to be seated. Then you order everything from your phone and will be delivered accordingly.

The hostess, who seemed like she was having a hard time negotiating it all, informed us that it would be closer to that reservation time. They pump loud hip hop which was fine. We were sat about 10min late at a center high top table. We ordered drinks and some buns. I also had a wild hair and added a salad as well. The bao bun was seriously the best I have ever had. No exaggeration at all - the meat was tender, not chewy, and the outer skin still had a perfect crisp to it. Wow. MUST HAVE, The salad was also incredibly good with the carrot ginger dressing. The ramen was solid - but I wish bamboo shoots were listed on the menu so I could ask them to hold them. Ramen was standard. Only issue was the wait time between ordering and items coming out. I noticed people who came in after us being served very quickly - not sure if our waitress wasn't putting in what we ordered or not picking up our orders. In a wild turn of events - I ordered dessert at a ramen house - the Cinnamon Toast Crunch sundae which was pretty good. Overall - very good place.

I was desperate for vegetables after eating out for a few days, so I ate the radish expecting it to be a throwaway garnish, but it was actually a delicious pickled radish soaked in sauce. It was a welcome bite. I also tried the rose mallow mocktail, all of the ingredients are ones that I like and it made for a nice refreshing drink.

I was seated at a table and they brought out water right away. But that's where the service stopped. I was handed 3 menus... food, drinks, cocktail. It took forever to get one of the servers to come over and take my order. They were all huddled by the kitchen and hostess stand chatting with each other and on their cell phones. Finally one of them walked by my table and I had to get her attention and told her I would like to order. She brought out the iPad then looked around seeing if someone else should probably take the order. I felt I inconvenienced her. Got the tonkatsu shoyu ramen with black garlic and the takoyaki. Food came out fast. Takoyaki after the ramen but the takoyaki was delicious. Soft and creamy on the inside with the octopus was very tender. It was topped with plenty of katsuoboshi. Ramen was another story. Noodles had a really good chew as they advertised using sun noodle company. However the broth tasted very watered down and did not have the rich flavor and usually fat globules that make the soup. Cha siu was charred beautifully and portion size was good. Hopefully they can focus on the front of house service and the team can pay attention to customers. Maybe this is why there were only 6 customers at prime dinner time.

She left for a while and eventually came back and said they could give us another one without the spicy powder. But seriously, who sprinkles spicy powder on steamed dumpling? I don't think any Asian cuisine does that as a default. We had a large party and two household ordered extra noodles, they only brought out one initially. When we asked for the second one, they got all confused, and they had to check all our bills to make sure they didn't give us extra noodles and that we were billed properly. Seems a bit disorganized if they can't handle a party of 10. We correctly guessed that it was non-Japanese people running the shop based on the dialect they spoke... but alas, it's expected that Asians from that region would give us that type of attitude lol so we forgive them for it. Now onto the actual food, it was just OK. My husband ordered a yasai and my oldest ordered a kinoko. I ordered a rosu for the kids. The flavors are not bad but nothing really stood out. The duck meat wasn't as tender as it could be. The kids didn't really like the dumpling/gyoza fillings either. For the price, I really expected better. I got the wakame seaweed salad and the hiyatakko. The wakame salad is just your store bought wakame mixed with some leafs, and the hiyatakko is nothing like the Japanese flavor, it's more Chinese and the tofu they selected isn't even the silky one, so it's actually bland and chalky with very weak chili oil flavor. The presentation is all pretty good tho. Looks good, but tastes are all just mediocre. We probably won't try this place again, at least not this location.

In no way had my body rested. Donned in dawn, my underwear-pajamas slightly slid down revealed a sad vision of man, sloppily tangled in ruffled sheets. Exposed. There is nothing pretty about me, I thought, as I pondered if the sunlight were judging what it saw. Before reaching my current perch on the living room couch, I sat in bed flicking through news in search of something good, but simultaneously only pausing on the bad. Glorifying in the doom, really. It was the pinch I needed to prove I was indeed awake. All day I seek the pinch of pain to prove I am not dreaming. Coffee, cats, clothes, splashof water, and 20 steps later I find myself in the planning pose, here in the living room. The planning pose is very much like the wake-startle, sans the sheets and exposed crack. It involves me laying here on the couch actually reading the articles I perused earlier. I like to rationalize that the information gleaned is to set me up for a day of human interaction. Perhaps it is a study session to get up to human-social-speed. Right now it is dawning on me -- my second uninvited dawn of the day -- that perhaps behavior isn't responsible humanity, it is prolonged self torment. The tighter pinch. The proverbial purple nurple of challenging my awakened state. Cats gather around me. One at my feet and the other curled beside my thigh. Am I king to them? They are fed. Surely they are not here in need of something. Have I done something to warrant this attention? My affection toward them is inconsistent. It ebbs in startling fits of overly attentive playing or petting followed by long droughts of disregard. My ambivalence as their king gives me this luxury, and supports my theory that they may think I am indeed king. This is the type of cyclical example loop I am using as evidence to propel me from the underwear'ed fat man the sun observed moments ago. Evidence that says: "See, Sun, I am more than the larva you spotlighted. I am a god! The cats are evidence! And they sleep in your sun-puddles in undisputed, recognizable perfection, not the ugly crack-exposed heap you found me in. You love them. They love me. So, pinch yourself, and stop judging me!" Obviously the coffee is working, or maybe the cats are doing their trick: making me feel accepted in the universe. Whatever the case may be, I pet my cat. Dander floats into the sun's beams and crystallizes in the air. If you've ever seen dust in a thinly sliced light beam at dawn you know: Hope is the accidental luck of shadows bouncing off of the chaos but always cutting through. Always meeting a surface. Penetrating the thickest of atmospheres and colliding on flowers and alleys, on well planned solar panels, on potholes, through any crack, on my crack, projecting obtuse triangles, acute bi-angles, and isosceles quad-tangles, even while penetrating deep into the sea, revealing all the magnificent details of art, and occasionally falling on me. Trees bend to it. I give the cat closest a good scratch behind the ear and look out the window at the trees greening in spring. A dog walker pauses to pick up excrement. A squirrel cowers behind a branch. The ramen restaurant on the corner is cut through by light warming empty tables; tables preparing to slurp up hungry, hopeful lunchers into the belly of contentment. Dark, seemingly an antagonist to light's hero demeanor, sheepishly slinks away, humbly realizing it is not the opposite of light, but the absence. "Beautiful," I think as I see the spicy broth of life warming in the sun glow beyond the glass. Yes. It is beautiful. It really is. I couldn't see how much in the dark but the rhythm out the window is now clear. I turn to my cat, who is winding down a purr. We share a slow-blink gaze at one another as the last sliver of dawn is replaced with shadow in my house. He moves to the window sill to soak in every second as it departs. "Welp, buddy. Nothing left now. Time to bend to the light"

    Beef based ramen was perfect for our friend who cant eat pork! We came wednesday night and it was…read morepacked! We had no reservation but when i checked the latest was 7, so Im guessing this is a popular late night bite. We waited about 40 minutes for a table of 5. Was slightly disappointed that two party that came after us got seated first at the bar. There were a lot of seats open as the dinner rush died so I wished we were asked if bar over table was fine because our 5th seat at the table ended up being a stool anyways. Miso Ramen: I could taste the difference between pork base and beef base for sure. I prefer pork, but if you like beef flavor this will be great. The beef was tender, but not too flavorful. The egg was PERFECT. Noodles are thin and while thicker noodles are my preference they were cooked just right. 7.3/10 the chili oil is made with ghost pepper FYI! I know they try to warn us with 3 spice sign but my friends were not ready and wish we were told this before and not when it hit our table. Overall not my taste profile and a bit more expensive than I like, I can see myself coming back for friends who cant eat pork.
