Red Light Ramen

I'd been saving this place place for a date night but absolutely had to get in when I heard they're closing next week. The space is so small! I've never been to a true ramenya, so maybe it adds authenticity? Ordered the tonkatsu, as one does at a ramen shop first time, and it was so delicious! The tonkatsu broth was so flavorful, the egg was so soy salty and custardy, and the pieces of pork were fall apart soft and just as delicious as the broth. I regret not trying it on my own, but I felt guilty occupying a table just for myself when tables are kind of at a premium.

Wow i am so happy i finally got to come here! it is a little smaller than i thought it would be, but it is so adorable. i love the red walls and the artwork throughout the restaurant. i also find it really cool that you have to walk down some stairs to enter. The miso mushroom ramen was really good. i liked the umami flavor of the broth, and i love anything that has mushrooms in it. they also have two desserts that i haven't had a chance to try, but are definitely on my list for next time

This considerably tiny ramen restaurant has a colossal taste. Your flavor palette will not be disappointed, each dish is like a personal gift. Though you might want to rush to get in it's first come first serve, but you won't want to rush to leave as the ambiance is quite nice and comfortable. An included photo of the entrance as it's a bit hidden.

This place is way smaller than you think it is, but awesome. Being part Japanese, I had high expectations, and RLR met them. The egg in the Tonkotsu Ramen was to die for, and I want to eat it every day. The broth was flavorful, and the noodles were the perfect texture. We also got the Takoyaki Waffle, which was also great. My only complaint is that the appetizer portion was small, but the dinner portion was fine. Highly recommend, and get an appetizer too! They're different from appetizers that are normally at Japanese restaurants.

Truly authentic Ramen. I was fortunate enough to live in Yokohama, Japan for 2 years and was able to experience many types of Ramen, and Red Light Ramen by far has the best Ramen in Milwaukee (even better than the best Ramen I've had in Chicago). Justin, the owner, and Zach, head chef, are amazing and could not be more hospitable. Oh yeah, the slushie drinks are great too! I cannot recommend Red Light Ramen highly enough. Authentic and delicious!!

Hands down my favorite ramen ever. Are there other good ramen spots in Milwaukee? Absolutely but this will always be my number one. The vegetarian Ramen is amazing, broth is super flavorful, love the tonkotsu egg and if you’re not doing bamboo shoots in your ramen what are you doing? I repeat, what are you doing? Of course you have to wash it down with a slushee (they will let you try it before you buy it). During this adventure we started out with the dumplings which was a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. Desert is also a must here, it never disappoints. This place is incredibly thoughtful in everything they do.
