Chicago’s Best Ramen Shops

"Noodle enthusiasts journey to the northwest suburbs for what might be the best ramen in the area. This outlet of Hokkaido’s popular ramen chain, tucked away inside Japanese mall Mitsuwa, has a devoted following. It’s not unusual to see a long line of people snaking through the food court during lunch hours. Wait it out, though, and the reward is shio ramen topped with toroniku chashu — tender pork cheeks that practically melt in the mouth. Santouka offers indoor seating and takeout or delivery via third-party services." - Naomi Waxman
