"Self-professed noodle nerd Katie Dong, an alum of mini-chain Strings, struck out on her own for the first time in 2022 with cozy neighborhood corner spot Monster Ramen in Logan Square. That leap of faith is paying off in a major way as diners all over Chicago flock to her restaurant for bison-based gyukotsu-style ramen and chicken-based tori chintan. Dong and her team also make their own noodles at their on-site noodle lab." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
