The best noodle shops in Chicago, according to the experts: The Banchets, Bon Appétit, and The Infatuation have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Akahoshi Ramen comes out on top.

Rank 1. Akahoshi Ramen
Japanese Noodle Shop
The chef spent a decade deep in ramen research on Reddit before opening this tiny Logan Square shop, and the menu reflects that obsessive focus: four ramens, a monthly rotating special, and nothing else. Everything, noodles through broth through tare, is made from scratch. Reservations drop and vanish within hours, which is its own kind of endorsement. Bon Appétit named it one of America's best new restaurants in 2024.
