The story behind the bowl
Down a discreet stairway in the West Loop, High Five is known for an intensely spicy, silky pork broth and thick noodles. Its small basement counter turns a ramen stop into a focused, high-heat experience.
Before you go: Choose spice level conservatively; even the standard signature has real heat.
