High Five Ramen

High Five Ramen is a basement ramen bar on Green Street in the West Loop, reached by a staircase inside the barbecue restaurant at street level. The kitchen makes tonkotsu-style broths that guests can order at full, half, quarter or no spice. The menu is short: tonkotsu, shio, shoyu and a maitake mushroom bowl, with a bar pouring Japanese beer, sake, whisky and slushies.
