High Five Ramen

High Five Ramen is a beloved 16-seat underground ramen hideaway tucked in the basement of Green Street Smoked Meats in Chicago's West Loop, created by the team behind the legendary Au Cheval burger bar. The menu centers on rich tonkotsu-style broths alongside shio, shoyu, and maitake mushroom options, with spice levels ranging up to the notoriously intense Kanabo Spice. Its speakeasy atmosphere, one-bowl-per-customer rule, and no-reservations policy have made it one of Chicago's most talked-about dining destinations.
