  • I headed out to Chicago, Illinois, USA to check out High Five Ramen, a Japanese inspired spicy ramen that could possibly be the best spicy ramen in America.

    High Five Ramen in Chicago. Just to be clear, I dig this place. The ramen is great, but be careful of the spice level. Half spice was almost too much for me. Hence I didn't "crush it". The wait can be crazy, upwards of two or tree hours sometime, but you can wait and have drinks upstairs. All-in-all, a must-hit spot for ramen lovers in Chicago.

    My wife and I live in Chicago and we have been going to Highfive for years. I have ordered the Kanabo 3 times and it is very spicy! I prefer the regular or half spice because you can taste the Tonkotsu broth better--not just all spice.

    There was no "crushed it" which tells me all I need to know about this place.

    • @ramenadventure

      Honestly, a great bowl but I rarely crush spicy bowls

    Hello from los Angeles! I saw th title and I had to CLICK SO FAST. I am a ramen lover and high five have been my favorite ramen shop in my entire life! My absolute favorite! Im so happy you made this video!!

      Great! One of the best spicy bowls Ive ever had.

    Ate there today. So, if you like a little heat I would go at least half spice IMO. Quarter spice barely made my nose run. They have chili oil you can add after you have your bowl. I thought it was very good. Get there early, 3:45 if opening at 4pm

    Dude! I live in Chicago! I've never been to this place but I dug "Ramen Misoya"(my favorite) & "Furious Spoon" for my Ramen needs! Get yourself an Italian beef & Chicago style hotdog while you're in town, too

    It was great, but as a pepper addict it was right where I would want a spicy bowl of ramen to be. Chef didn’t believe I’d finish it, turned out he was right but only because of the salt. Salty not withstanding, it was an amazing bowl of ramen and I can’t wait to go back.

    • @ramenadventure

    That looked fucking tasty. That pocket wifi company seemed chill as hell. Are they only for Chicago or other places in teh US too?

    • @ramenadventure

    Been following you for years, waiting for you to come to High Five here in Chicago and try the Half Spice! It seems that you really liked it, but I was a bit deflated by the lack of your assessment of how good it tasted when you left, as opposed to commenting on how authentic it is.

    • @ramenadventure
      @ramenadventure  6 років тому +1

      Yeah, I noticed that I didn’t really talk about it that way. I’ll try and up my commentary game.

  • @blimpdriver
    @blimpdriver 6 років тому +2

    Kanabo! that was the first bowl I tried at High Five. ahh when were you here?

  • @pithyginger6371
    @pithyginger6371 6 років тому +2

    iirc there's a ramen chain called 鬼金棒 that serves really spicy miso ramen.

  • @biggybiggerson
    @biggybiggerson 6 років тому

    You should of gone to a few more shops around to city and compared. There’s a place called Wasabi that’s pretty good. Definitely worth the drive and wait.

    • @ramenadventure
      @ramenadventure  6 років тому

      I was only there a couple days, and didn’t eat much ramen.

  • @billstrife
    @billstrife 6 років тому +2

    So would you recommend the shop. I’m only asking because the only criticism you gave was it’s different. I was kind of hoping for more of a response to if you enjoyed it or not

    • @xavierpaquin
      @xavierpaquin 6 років тому

      I think you just answered your own question

    • @ramenadventure
      @ramenadventure  6 років тому

      I enjoyed it. It is delicious and a very interesting vibe. The wait can be nuts though.

    How is an almost 5 minute video about ramen, show virtually no ramen other than some placating shots of chop sticks pulling noodles out of a broth?

    Misoya is pretty good, and furious ramen. I don't think Chicago have lots of good ramens.

    Good thing you're not there for the pizza. They don't have pizza in Chicago. Just some deep dish cheesy meat pie with tomato sauce. Has absolutely nothing to do with pizza.
