    This particular Birdman Ramen outlet is located on West Belmont Ave, and it's hard to miss. It has beautiful aesthetic décor with a decent amount of seating space. I loved the ambiance, especially the manga-style menu they provide. Since I went in on a very cold day, I ordered their Szechuan Tori Paitan (Gold) and a chicken karaage bun. Because I have a high heat tolerance, the spice level in the ramen felt just right. The broth was creamy and delicious. I loved the ramen, but I would have preferred a little more topping and fewer noodles to make it a bit healthier. The crispiness of the chicken karaage paired perfectly with the soft, warm bun, and the peanut sauce on top was lovely. Our server was very kind and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience.

    I went here with a friend after seeing this new ramen spot driving by where furious spoon used to be. The food was good! We got the dumplings to start which were super yummy. I got the spicy ramen gold. I would say the ramen was really good but the upgrade for the duck wasn't worth it -- the duck was a little cold. Our server was friendly and recommended some dishes. This is probably one of the best ramen options in our neighborhood!

    Sorry to say, this was the worst ramen I've ever had. The broth was bitter, with very little salty flavor. The noodles were way undercooked. The tiny pieces of roast pork were tough. Literally nothing good about it. Service was fast and friendly, which is the best thing I can say about this place.

    For sometime, we wanted to try this place. Birdman Ramen seems like a fun place to have some Japanese inspired food. The decor looks amazing. I really like the paper lanterns. The decor reminds me of a movie called Ramen Girl. As a matter of fact, the whole setup looks like a movie set. With the faux cherry blossoms hanging from the ceiling, it gives a very inviting feeling. The food tasted pretty good. I ordered the vegetarian yakisoba. It came with mushrooms, cabbage, mung beans, and carrots mixed with yakisoba noodles. We did not have to wait long for our food. Hats off to our server Adam, as he did a fantastic job in making sure our orders turned out right. Come to Birdman Ramen. Bring friends, family or even host a party here.

    Such an improvement for the corner. This was previously furious spoon and it probably has been empty about a year. Birdman put up a nice eye catching mural and the decor inside is great. Lots of pop art, cherry blossom decor, cool seating and dividers, and a wall of Daruma. They have a pretty good menu with a nice selection. I'd honestly like to some katsu, curry, & rice though. Instead I went with a noodle dish just a hearty, Dan Dan noodles. Egg noodles in a spicy sesame based sauce. It's a bit heavy but delicious and savory. I only finished half and had the other half for lunch. My wife had the Vegetable Yaki soba and we split an order of agedashi tofu. Nice portion. Service was very good and attentive. No alcohol so far. I had a pretty good experience. It's a fun spot with great service and vibrant decor. Definitely a great date spot I'd say cause it's pretty but they can accommodate groups too. Definitely recommend to try. I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their menu.

    I would highly suggest the gold level for your ramen, you won't be disappointed! Thank you again Amiin, for being so attentive and the friendly service

    Was very excited to try this place after driving by it several times and missing Furious Spoon. Loved the vibes and decor inside - this seems like a fun spot to hang with friends and the service was very quick and friendly. The menu has a good variety of options and reasonable prices, but unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired. My husband got the silver tier Szechuan Tori Paitan - the broth was very one dimensional and there was only ground meat and a few thin slices of turkey - nothing that looked like chashu and no chicken that we could find. The bamboo was the best part. I got the salmon don which was literally 5 thin slices of salmon sashimi on a bowl of rice with some seaweed, carrots and tamago. I hope this place is able to make their dishes more rich and flavorful for the future as I think it has potential but unfortunately today fell short.

    This is right down the block from us and we finally stopped by last night. Service was super quick and attentive, and it's cute enough inside. The food was a solid 4/5, don't hesitate to stop by if you're in the neighborhood, but not worthy of being a destination in and of itself. We started with the Shrimp Crab Wontons - came out hot and fresh and in a super flavorful sauce.. but the filling in the wontons was packed so tight that it didn't really have much flavor, and dipping only did so much as it wasn't absorbing much of the sauce. Would probably get again, but they weren't anything special. I got the Szechuan Tori Paitan with Chicken Karaaage. Broth had a nice level of spice, and I really enjoyed it but I'd probably try the garlic miso next time. The chicken and noodles in it were good, but unremarkable. Big picture, I don't think you'll be disappointed if you stop by, but I also didn't think the meal was anything special.

    Such a much better option for a ramen spot than what was here before. Had the trio salad which was good but I would probably skip it next time. Ramen was good, I like that it was something different. The standard ramen with the silver option was definitely plenty but might need just a hint of spice for more flavor. Service was great, really attentive and willing to answer questions about menu options.

    Good Morning Night City, It Is March 2077. I Ate At This New Ramen Place. I Liked The Ramen. Some Would Say The Flavor Is Too Light But I Think It Was Best That Way. Chicken Tasted Chinese Not Japanese But It Was Good. The Soft Boiled Egg Was Sweet. Surprised Me But I Liked It. I Will Keep This Warm Food In My RAM. Thank You. Where Did You Get The Hoisin And Spicy Mayo Stuffies? I Love It. Thanks.

The Alaskan cod sandwich was served on a bed of cabbage covered in a sweet teriyaki & brown mustard sauce with maybe a squeeze of kewpie sprinkled in between. The Berkshire pork eggrolls had microgreens & shaved radish on top of a crema type of sauce that balanced the heat of the kimchi nicely!! For the main attraction I ordered the spicy garlic ramen that was such a delightful mouth experience it really hit all the taste buds! The noodles were perfectly bouncy with the right amount of chew. The jellied egg was perfect and rounded the soup very well! The red chili threads enhanced the spicy miso broth just enough to slurp all the delicious goodness down! My husband ordered the Sapporo miso soup which had more of a creamy type of broth vs the spicy garlic. The noodles were also thinner than regular ramen & had a bouncy springy texture that just hit the spot! Since it was kinda chilly outside we also ordered hot green tea to accompany our spectacular ramen dishes. This place also offers delicious seasonal cocktails on the menu or hot sake if that's what you are hankering for. Definitely try this ramen joint if you are in the Logan square area your tummy will be so happy that you did!!

I was seated at a table and they brought out water right away. But that's where the service stopped. I was handed 3 menus... food, drinks, cocktail. It took forever to get one of the servers to come over and take my order. They were all huddled by the kitchen and hostess stand chatting with each other and on their cell phones. Finally one of them walked by my table and I had to get her attention and told her I would like to order. She brought out the iPad then looked around seeing if someone else should probably take the order. I felt I inconvenienced her. Got the tonkatsu shoyu ramen with black garlic and the takoyaki. Food came out fast. Takoyaki after the ramen but the takoyaki was delicious. Soft and creamy on the inside with the octopus was very tender. It was topped with plenty of katsuoboshi. Ramen was another story. Noodles had a really good chew as they advertised using sun noodle company. However the broth tasted very watered down and did not have the rich flavor and usually fat globules that make the soup. Cha siu was charred beautifully and portion size was good. Hopefully they can focus on the front of house service and the team can pay attention to customers. Maybe this is why there were only 6 customers at prime dinner time.

We ordered steamed dumplings for the kids, but they couldn't eat those cuz of the spicy powders. The staff came over and told us they can't remove the spicy powder from the dumplings. But, like, they could've just not sprinkle the powder on top, it's not like it's part of the filling?! She left for a while and eventually came back and said they could give us another one without the spicy powder. But seriously, who sprinkles spicy powder on steamed dumpling? I don't think any Asian cuisine does that as a default. We had a large party and two household ordered extra noodles, they only brought out one initially. When we asked for the second one, they got all confused, and they had to check all our bills to make sure they didn't give us extra noodles and that we were billed properly. Seems a bit disorganized if they can't handle a party of 10. We correctly guessed that it was non-Japanese people running the shop based on the dialect they spoke... but alas, it's expected that Asians from that region would give us that type of attitude lol so we forgive them for it. Now onto the actual food, it was just OK. My husband ordered a yasai and my oldest ordered a kinoko. I ordered a rosu for the kids. The flavors are not bad but nothing really stood out. The duck meat wasn't as tender as it could be. The kids didn't really like the dumpling/gyoza fillings either. For the price, I really expected better. I got the wakame seaweed salad and the hiyatakko. The wakame salad is just your store bought wakame mixed with some leafs, and the hiyatakko is nothing like the Japanese flavor, it's more Chinese and the tofu they selected isn't even the silky one, so it's actually bland and chalky with very weak chili oil flavor. The presentation is all pretty good tho. Looks good, but tastes are all just mediocre. We probably won't try this place again, at least not this location.

    I'm sitting here in my living room, mired by an early, uninvited awakening. It was not a thud. No…read morealarm. Just a gentle frazzle of sunlight stealing me from night. In no way had my body rested. Donned in dawn, my underwear-pajamas slightly slid down revealed a sad vision of man, sloppily tangled in ruffled sheets. Exposed. There is nothing pretty about me, I thought, as I pondered if the sunlight were judging what it saw. Before reaching my current perch on the living room couch, I sat in bed flicking through news in search of something good, but simultaneously only pausing on the bad. Glorifying in the doom, really. It was the pinch I needed to prove I was indeed awake. All day I seek the pinch of pain to prove I am not dreaming. Coffee, cats, clothes, splashof water, and 20 steps later I find myself in the planning pose, here in the living room. The planning pose is very much like the wake-startle, sans the sheets and exposed crack. It involves me laying here on the couch actually reading the articles I perused earlier. I like to rationalize that the information gleaned is to set me up for a day of human interaction. Perhaps it is a study session to get up to human-social-speed. Right now it is dawning on me -- my second uninvited dawn of the day -- that perhaps behavior isn't responsible humanity, it is prolonged self torment. The tighter pinch. The proverbial purple nurple of challenging my awakened state. Cats gather around me. One at my feet and the other curled beside my thigh. Am I king to them? They are fed. Surely they are not here in need of something. Have I done something to warrant this attention? My affection toward them is inconsistent. It ebbs in startling fits of overly attentive playing or petting followed by long droughts of disregard. My ambivalence as their king gives me this luxury, and supports my theory that they may think I am indeed king. This is the type of cyclical example loop I am using as evidence to propel me from the underwear'ed fat man the sun observed moments ago. Evidence that says: "See, Sun, I am more than the larva you spotlighted. I am a god! The cats are evidence! And they sleep in your sun-puddles in undisputed, recognizable perfection, not the ugly crack-exposed heap you found me in. You love them. They love me. So, pinch yourself, and stop judging me!" Obviously the coffee is working, or maybe the cats are doing their trick: making me feel accepted in the universe. Whatever the case may be, I pet my cat. Dander floats into the sun's beams and crystallizes in the air. If you've ever seen dust in a thinly sliced light beam at dawn you know: Hope is the accidental luck of shadows bouncing off of the chaos but always cutting through. Always meeting a surface. Penetrating the thickest of atmospheres and colliding on flowers and alleys, on well planned solar panels, on potholes, through any crack, on my crack, projecting obtuse triangles, acute bi-angles, and isosceles quad-tangles, even while penetrating deep into the sea, revealing all the magnificent details of art, and occasionally falling on me. Trees bend to it. I give the cat closest a good scratch behind the ear and look out the window at the trees greening in spring. A dog walker pauses to pick up excrement. A squirrel cowers behind a branch. The ramen restaurant on the corner is cut through by light warming empty tables; tables preparing to slurp up hungry, hopeful lunchers into the belly of contentment. Dark, seemingly an antagonist to light's hero demeanor, sheepishly slinks away, humbly realizing it is not the opposite of light, but the absence. "Beautiful," I think as I see the spicy broth of life warming in the sun glow beyond the glass. Yes. It is beautiful. It really is. I couldn't see how much in the dark but the rhythm out the window is now clear. I turn to my cat, who is winding down a purr. We share a slow-blink gaze at one another as the last sliver of dawn is replaced with shadow in my house. He moves to the window sill to soak in every second as it departs. "Welp, buddy. Nothing left now. Time to bend to the light"

We had no reservation but when i checked the latest was 7, so Im guessing this is a popular late night bite. We waited about 40 minutes for a table of 5. Was slightly disappointed that two party that came after us got seated first at the bar. There were a lot of seats open as the dinner rush died so I wished we were asked if bar over table was fine because our 5th seat at the table ended up being a stool anyways. Miso Ramen: I could taste the difference between pork base and beef base for sure. I prefer pork, but if you like beef flavor this will be great. The beef was tender, but not too flavorful. The egg was PERFECT. Noodles are thin and while thicker noodles are my preference they were cooked just right. 7.3/10 the chili oil is made with ghost pepper FYI! I know they try to warn us with 3 spice sign but my friends were not ready and wish we were told this before and not when it hit our table. Overall not my taste profile and a bit more expensive than I like, I can see myself coming back for friends who cant eat pork.
