Enjoyed eating at the bar and the staff 's recommendations. Devoured the Oiistar ramen with pork belly . It needed heat so ask for a side of their house made spicy paste.
Long, blond wood bar ; small, rectangular menu card; booze lineup; pork belly buns ; pork-packed ramen crowned with an oozing soft-boiled egg . We almost don’t mind that they’re served in mason jars . Read more
Pork belly buns are the best! Umami ramen (spicy miso ) is my favorite, but get the flavor you prefer. Food tastes best when the tables are busy and kitchen is moving quickly.
I really enjoyed Oiistar, but I wish they had more non-spicy options for us normies. I had several buns , the Umami, & an "Oiimoji" -- all delicious.
Great for lunch during the week. Delicious ramen , in and out quick and you have your pick of the tables or counter.

Fried garlic chicken is huge! You can totally split this delicious dish as an app. I'd like to have things on the spicier side, but all the flavors are solid.
Musselmen ramen was really good. Seafood broth so it felt lighter than traditional ramen broth but still spicy and delicious. Will be back!
Wonderfully good! Got the Veggiemen. It was awesome and full of flavor. Large portion sizes (saved some for tomorrows lunch !) Great customer service and friendly waiters .
Staff Friendly & Welcoming Oso Oseyo! Contemporary Korean. Duck Bun & Poached Pear Best! Must come back for Hot French Kimchi Soup (over the luke-warm pork ramen ).
Favorites were the roasted pork belly bun , sweet fried chicken and oiistar ramen has unbeatable flavor! This is my type of place!
Really impressed- best vegetarian broth I've ever had- pro-tip, can sub it in for any ramen . The miso one ????????.
Ramen is ok, not my favorite in the city , but interesting flavors. Best thing there was the kimchee soup . One of the best things I've ate this year. Sangria was sweet but refreshing as well .
Lot of great items on the menu, spicy grilled pork ribs and pork belly buns however, sadly, ramen is not one them. Applaud the housemade noodles but texture similar to wonton noodles then ramen .
5 Star MaxFood quality : 4 star Service : 5 starPrice : 3.5 starAtmosphere : 3 starCleanness: 5 starIt is like Korean - French food .I will say "" you must try""
Wow I was blown away by the food here!! Got the pollo bun and classic ramen . #delicious
The ramen bowls here are huge! If you like spicy , you can get the suicide spice but be careful! It will make you sweat!
Fills up fast so come early or prepare to wait. But the ramen delivers . Try the miso .
It is our first time there. The buns and noodles were tasted great. But be careful how they charge a cup of hot tea . We ordered two cups of hot tea and later for more. They charged $10 for 4 cups!
Really good food! Great prices and the service was excellent. Try the Bao donut for a sweet treat !
Can't go wrong with Bao . Tried the Pork Shoulder and Saltimbocca. Excited to try the Bao doughnut !
A couple buns , the fried garlic chicken (either sambal or sweet) and the Oiimen ramen are out go-tos
Some of the best ramen in the city . I recommend the classic with a tall glass of sangria !
Umami ramen and pork bun were incredible - will be returning to try others
Pork belly bun is tasty but very very messy. Duck breast bun is a more dignified but equally delicious option.
Playing rock music and serving up strong frozen drinks gives this new ramen shop some pizzazz for sure
The baos are amazing! They can be made without meat for vegetarian !
Apparently the chef is multi-talented. He made the bar and the funky sangria glasses by hand!
The classic oiistar ramen is a perfect food that shortens the duration of the common cold.
Unbelievable Ramen . If you're into spicy stuff, do yourself a favor and checkout the Chadolmen.
the broth here is my favorite amongst all the ramen places near damen/milwaukee.
Ramen is top notch. First two choices on the menu are worth the $13... and ninety cents haha
One dish to rule them all - crispy fried chicken . Simply awesome!
Oii salad and tempura shrimp bun are phenomenal. But really, everything here is.
Try their ramen w/their suicidal sauce:)
The broths lack zing, so I recommend ordering the spicy AND suicide pastes and adding them to your ramen .
It was an awesome experience! The staff is friendly the food is amazing!
Best place to go for non-traditional ramen
Amazing buns - try the pork or chicken
Very large portion . Don’t try and eat it alone!! But so so good
The pork belly bun is fantastic
Very impressed! Everything was good and the pork ribs were a hit
Avocado fries are basically avocado tempura . .. yuckkk
Amazing, ramen bowl is made for two people!
Good ramen and great appetizers .
Vegi ramen throw some pork belly on it. I died. So good
The ramen is superb and the buns are delish!!!
Order the poached pear - yummy!
The ramen rules but don't forget the fried chicken !
Get the Yuzu-Shio ramen! This place serves the most authentic ramen in Chicago. - Erika Davis
Visiting Chicago from LA and this place did not disappoint. Not your traditional ramen but still amazing. Furious bowl on a cold day is the way to go. - Madeline Harrison
Tonkatsu ramen with pork belly and duck. The meat is so tender, yummy! - Ansell
