Sushi-san Lincoln Park aims to be a neighborhood restaurant with a kid's menu and a welcoming atmosphere." - Ashok Selvam
"Lincoln Park: Celebrity chef Dale Talde (Goosefeather) will return to his hometown of Chicago for a one-night pop-up collaboration with Ramen-San on Tuesday, March 26 in Lincoln Park with a menu featuring Shanghai lumpia (pork, black truffle, chives), oxtail bone broth and rice noodle (dry-aged sirloin, pickled garlic), halo halo (calamansi shave ice, coconut cream), and more, according to a rep." - Naomi Waxman
"Grab a seat at the bar and slurp down a big bowl of noodles while grooving to ‘90s hip hop at Ramen-san, which also has locations in River North, Fulton Market, and Streeterville. The express lunch offers a great deal, combining ramen with a rice plate, a small salad and marinated cucumbers. Don’t need to head back to work? Pair the meal with a super cold Asahi draft or a glass of Japanese whiskey." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"Ramen-san debuted in 2014 in River North, and at that point, there weren’t many ramen shops in Chicago. They partnered with Sun Noodle to bring daily shipments from the New Jersey noodle factory to Chicago — LEYE has tested more than 100 different noodles for their broths. Investments like that generated buzz over the last nine years. Ramen-san also became an industry favorite for Japanese whiskies; the Lincoln Park location will stock 52 varieties." - Ashok Selvam
