RAKKAN Ramen - Chicago Uptown

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

"Most ramen places in Chicago usually only have one vegetarian ramen on the menu. And while it does make ordering easier for vegetarians, if there’s one thing we learned from The Bachelor, it’s that it's nice to have options. Every single bowl at Rakkan Ramen in Uptown has a vegetable-based broth, and toppings like eggs and pork belly can be substituted with tofu and mushrooms. Their broth is light yet savory, and goes perfectly with their thin, chewy noodles. There’s plenty of group seating in the softly lit, narrow dining space, so it’s a good spot to catch up with friends—just make sure to also split some crispy gyoza as an appetizer." - john ringor
