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.

Time Out Chicago

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.

Daniel Crum

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.

Lauren Zullo

Musselmen ramen was really good. Seafood broth so it felt lighter than traditional ramen broth but still spicy and delicious. Will be back!

Brittany Campbell

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 .

Dana Tedesco

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 ).

Amanda Gilmore

Favorites were the roasted pork belly bun , sweet fried chicken and oiistar ramen has unbeatable flavor! This is my type of place!

Leah Hammerschlag

Really impressed- best vegetarian broth I've ever had- pro-tip, can sub it in for any ramen . The miso one ????????.

Lisa W

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 .

Darren Poon

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""

Gwynne

Wow I was blown away by the food here!! Got the pollo bun and classic ramen . #delicious

Maya Jimenez ????

The ramen bowls here are huge! If you like spicy , you can get the suicide spice but be careful! It will make you sweat!

Bobby Kennedy

Fills up fast so come early or prepare to wait. But the ramen delivers . Try the miso .

Leslie F.

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!

Travis Ince

Really good food! Great prices and the service was excellent. Try the Bao donut for a sweet treat !

Lizzie S.

Can't go wrong with Bao . Tried the Pork Shoulder and Saltimbocca. Excited to try the Bao doughnut !

narni

A couple buns , the fried garlic chicken (either sambal or sweet) and the Oiimen ramen are out go-tos

Jaclyn Ortiz

Some of the best ramen in the city . I recommend the classic with a tall glass of sangria !

Manoj Ambalavanan

Umami ramen and pork bun were incredible - will be returning to try others

David Smith

Pork belly bun is tasty but very very messy. Duck breast bun is a more dignified but equally delicious option.

Daniel Phelps

Playing rock music and serving up strong frozen drinks gives this new ramen shop some pizzazz for sure

Vishal

The baos are amazing! They can be made without meat for vegetarian !

Marian Cochiaosue

Apparently the chef is multi-talented. He made the bar and the funky sangria glasses by hand!

Mat Burnett

The classic oiistar ramen is a perfect food that shortens the duration of the common cold.

Chris Bueno

Unbelievable Ramen . If you're into spicy stuff, do yourself a favor and checkout the Chadolmen.

Fallon Leyba

the broth here is my favorite amongst all the ramen places near damen/milwaukee.

Brent

Ramen is top notch. First two choices on the menu are worth the $13... and ninety cents haha

Mohammed Hassan-Ali

One dish to rule them all - crispy fried chicken . Simply awesome!

Danielle Kovack

Oii salad and tempura shrimp bun are phenomenal. But really, everything here is.

ᴡ O.

Try their ramen w/their suicidal sauce:)

BigTab R.N.

The broths lack zing, so I recommend ordering the spicy AND suicide pastes and adding them to your ramen .

Cindy

It was an awesome experience! The staff is friendly the food is amazing!

Garrett Jeffs

Best place to go for non-traditional ramen

Ruthie G

Amazing buns - try the pork or chicken

Courtney Greer

Very large portion . Don’t try and eat it alone!! But so so good
