This Tiny Restaurant In Illinois Always Has A Line Out The Door, And There’s A Reason Why
If there is such a thing as a ramen speakeasy, High Five Ramen, a tiny Illinois restaurant in Chicago, would be it. This subterranean noodle shop is tucked into a tiny basement space behind a nondescript, cryptically-marked industrial door. But really, High Five Ramen is so popular that, often, all you really need to do is look for all the people hovering near the door, waiting for a spot.
Although its alleyway door may not make High Five Ramen’s location particularly obvious, there is a helpful mural that offers a clue.
Once you turn down the alley, look for the beat up industrial door with the “high five” handprint on it. Go through the door, descend a flight of stairs and follow the instructions on the yellow sign.
Check out High Five Ramen’s website for hours, location, and other information. Pair your trip with a visit to – or a train ride into – Chicago’s historic Union Station, which is only a few blocks from High Five Ramen.
