The 14 Best Ramen Spots In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Monster Ramen is making some of the best bowls of ramen in the city—and they’re also some of the most unique. This sleek Logan Square spot specializes in gyukotsu, an uncommon broth made from beef bones. It has a delicious richness without feeling too heavy, and pairs perfectly with their thin, springy housemade noodles. Our go-to order is “The Monster,” which gets added depth and creaminess from some garlic miso tare. Like a Met Gala outfit, it’s all about maximalism—loaded with sweet and savory beef jam, slices of wagyu, mushrooms, seasoned egg, and seaweed. It’s a robust, umami-packed bowl, but it’s all balanced perfectly with freshness from some corn and raw red onion." - john ringor
