Bringing a taste of Japan to Philadelphia is Chika Ramen Bar in Rittenhouse. Underground is where you’ll find this stylish bar decorated in atmospheric neon lights, which is a nod to its roots as this is where these kinds of establishments are commonly found in Japan too. They serve up fresh Ramen as well as Donburi Bowls, Hand Rolls and other authentic dishes late into the night for any of those midnight cravings, and they also offer a cocktail menu to enjoy with your meal. And with a happy hour offering great deals Tuesdays-Fridays 4-6pm, Chika Ramen Bar really is the best one in town.
