"The Verdict: Do whatever you need to do to get in. It’s not surprising that this Logan Square spot has been packed the minute since opening. Its owner, a Redditor-turned-chef known as "Ramen_Lord", has a large following and his past pop-ups sold out instantly. But eating is believing—bowls of rich and creamy Akahoshi Miso and soupless tantanmen flavored with tingly Sichuan peppercorns are delicious and worth racing to grab a spot at a booth or the communal table. Chances are, reservations are all booked when you’re done reading this. But they allow walk-ins, so you can probably snag a spot if you get there before they open at 5pm." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
