Healthiest Ramen Restaurants in Chicago, Illinois

What makes a bowl of ramen healthy? Start with the broth — it is hydrating and, in lighter shoyu or vegetable styles, relatively low in fat. Ramen is also highly customizable: choose a clear broth, add extra vegetables, pick lean protein like chicken, egg, or tofu, request less salt, and swap or halve the noodles to cut carbohydrates. The restaurants below are a strong starting point for a lighter, more balanced bowl.
