Monster Ramen
Chicago, IL · Ramen
Dedicated Wagyu house
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
A Logan Square ramen shop built around Wagyu the way a steakhouse is built around prime: the namesake Monster bowl carries Wagyu rib roast and Wagyu chashu over gyukotsu broth, a Miso Wagyu bowl and a Miso Wagyu broth anchor the list, a Wagyu Don and a thinly sliced Wagyu tataki sit beside them, and the rib roast and chashu sell as sides. No origin, grade or producer is published for any of it.

Common questions
- Does Monster Ramen serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 23, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Monster Ramen serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Monster Ramen listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
