Shinya Ramen House - Midnight Diner

It’s a self service type of establishment. They will seat you, but you scan the QR code on your table to order from your phone. The good thing is you can send one order and always go back to add later, as I did. I ordered a ramen and crab Rangoon. I was hesitant about ordering the Yuzu chicken ramen since it had baked chicken. However, the chicken was very well seasoned. I enjoyed every bite. I very much enjoyed the ramen. Cost $13.99. The crab Rangoon came with 4 pieces for $5.99. I don’t care for the crab Rangoon since it was mostly cream and onions. I just don’t know where some places put the crab because it’s not in the crab Rangoon. Food came out within 5 minutes or ordering. It was pretty fast. The ambiance is fine. They had Christmas music playing which was pretty good. Seats aren’t the most comfortable. I sat on the bench. Service only got 4 stars because of everything is automated there isn’t much interaction. It was efficient though.

Late night cravings & chill spot🍻🐮 🍜 📍 Bridgeport, Chicago There were always late night markets and chill restaurants in Asia growing up. We called this 宵夜 "Siu ye" - some of the most famous restaurants are even 24/7 😂 I had NO IDEA that Chicago had spots that closed late, let alone 1:30am! It'd be pretty easy especially if you had a car, because even when it's cold, you can go quickly to a spot , park on the street, get some food quickly before driving home Highlights ✔️ Chill atmosphere ✔️ Closes at 1:30am daily (closed entirely on Tuesdays) ✔️ Takeout available ✔️ Food comes out in 10mins or so ✔️ Great grilled items like beef tongue, chicken skin, oysters, squid, whole mackerel ✔️ Big menu with ramen, grilled items, fried rice, soba, Japanese sake, beers, smoothies, appetizers, chazuke What we got (out of 120+ menu items) Chicken Karaage 日式鹽酥雞$8.99 Clam sake soup酒蒸蛤蜊 $11.99 Hamachi kama yellowtail collar 魚臉$14.99 Kalbi beef 肉眼 $9.99 Mushroom combo 蘑菇拼盘$11.99 needle mushroom, shiitake mushroom, and king oyster mushroom Black garlic Tonkatsu 黑蒜豬骨湯拉麵$14.99 Unagi don 鰻魚飯$14.99 Gyu don 牛肉飯 $13.99 Taiyaki fish shape cake 紅豆鯛魚燒$5.99 Japanese cheese cake 日式起司蛋糕$5.50 Mango smoothie 芒果汁$5.99 Sapporo 12oz 日本啤酒$4.99 Highly recommend the grilled items, especially the hamachi collar, Galbi, and dons (beef & Unagi don). Ramen was better than I thought it would be! 📍 Shinya Ramen House @shinyaramenhouse 3240 S Halsted , Chicago IL 60608 Open 5:00 - 1:30am Closed Tuesdays
