Reviews
They have parking, great.
Cons:
-Their Ramen bowls have gotten noticeably smaller.
-If you specialize in Ramen (hot liquid), then make sure your tables aren’t uneven. I told the employee but he didn’t know what to do, so I took my napkin and wedged it under to even it out.
-At one point we were the only ones there, and it still took almost 10 minutes to get attended to.
-Your menus are printed horribly! You can’t read the descriptions (look at my pics, squint, there are words under those titles, I swear).
-Food took almost 15 minutes to come out (at this point we were one of 2 couples there)
-One wall is under construction, which is fine, but at least pick up your screws. I found one next to us on the counter, and saw a few more in the distance.
-The music, oh lord the music. If you don’t have a subscription service, don’t play anything. Or throw a CD on repeat. Having one super loud vulgar song followed by 3-4 commercials (no exaggeration, we counted each time) is painful.
-Most chairs are small benches, with no backs, so you have no where to place your jacket or purses/backpacks.
Conclusion:
This location is bad bad bad. Chinatown is great. The Belmont location would screw some stuff up, (i.e. tons of wasabi on a cat rice) but they were mostly good. Hyde Park, solid.
Only reason I give them 4 stars is because they jumped on the wagon with the gloves. No serious chefs/cooks or staff wears gloves. This has been proven to be less hygienic, as people just keep handling multiple things with the same set. If Michelin star restaurants don’t use gloves – you don’t need them, it’s just a social media nonsense. ♂️
String’s Ramen Shop has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Lakeview. Whether you’re a ramen aficionado or just looking to try something new, this place is sure to satisfy your cravings! Highly recommended!
My partner and I were quite indecisive, so we ended up placing the order an hour after the initial call AND my partner decided to go with the tonkatsu pork belly ramen, and we agreed to just share the beef rib that came with my order.
Despite it being quite busy at the restaurant (there were two other people waiting for a take-out order, and there were many patrons dining in), the staff got my order to me before the estimated time it was ready, and once I got home, I was surprised to see they had packed two beef short ribs; they had remembered my phone call from earlier and threw in an extra one, free of charge.
All customer service kudos aside, the food was phenomenal. Ordered the 10 year anniversary ramen, the pork belly tonkatsu black garlic ramen, and a side of boiled pork gyoza. Everything was flavorful, tender, and perfect for a cold winter night. We will definitely be back!
