I learned of this place because I was searching for pinball in Marquette - otherwise I would never have known it existed. It's tucked away inside the Masonic Square Mall on the main street, which I hadn't noticed before. Apparently you get an hour of free arcade play with the purchase of a bowl of ramen, but the arcade games were not our thing, and the pinball (one machine) did not appear to be included. Oh well, at least I found really good food here. My husband and I shared the vegetarian Miso Shitake Ramen (with gluten free rice noodles subbed for the ramen noodles, and egg on the side) and vegetarian Shitake Gyoza, and both were delicious! I was intrigued by the Nihon Chaat summer special, but I feared it might be too much food, and it probably would have been.
The interior is small and filled with arcade games, so the seating is right outside in the mall area (still indoors). There is table service, though, and the server was super nice and helpful. I hope this place makes it despite their slightly hard to find location, because the food is really good! Highly recommend! read more
