The Best Restaurants In River North - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Kyuramen is a Taiwanese ramen chain with over 120 locations in Asia, but this is their first one in Chicago. And while their ramen is pretty good (the spicy tonkotsu is particularly flavorful), the menu's sleeper hit doesn’t involve any soup or noodles: the omurice. This bright, spacious restaurant (full of curtained private dining stalls and cute honeycomb-shaped booths) is one of the few places in the city that serves this Japanese dish. The server will cut open the scrambled egg pillow resting on top of mushroom and beef fried rice to reveal a molten blanket of bright yellow, and it’s finished off with rich demi-glace poured tableside." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
