They also do not sell the seamed buns anymore:( The employees were very kind and accommodating though, this is not a service type place though and you order at the front and the pick up your food at the pickup window or they will deliver it to you depending on the size of the order. My friend got the Ugly Pot and it was really really tasty! And my other friend got the Chicken Katsu and said it was also very good and it's her favorite place to get it!

A weeks long ramen craving has led me to Sapporo Ramen and noodle bar. Normally authentic Ramen not…read moreclose to a major city(NYC, Boston, San Fran) would be a major red flag but Michigan in general is quite diverse and to be honest, has not failed me yet. Sapporo is not about to break that trend! Right off the bat, the vibe is chill and the staff is welcoming. I go for the Takoyaki and Hakata modern. The Takoyaki is absolutely delicious. Wonderful balance of texture and salt vs sweet. Easily top 3 I've had. On to the ramen....which I was ready to be super hyper critical on. Hakata modern features Tonkotsu pork broth, chashu, ajitsuke tamago, menma, beansprouts, garlic oil, umami dama, and scallions. Final verdict? The broth is rich and flavorful, and there is plenty of it! The ramen egg is a tab bit overdone and the chasu can be a little more tender but who am I kidding? It's pretty damn good! The best part of all? Sapporo sits at a very reasonable price point while not compromising on high quality. All in all, very much worth a trip while in the area. Sapporo slides right into my go to lineup :-)

Our little ones are a bit picky, but they do enjoy noodles when given the opportunity to have them. This is what brought us to Bowl Above, a Japanese inspired eatery that is both pleasing to the mouth as well as the eyes. The interior is lined with anime inspired art as well as Spartan sports. There are also board games available if you're here with a group of friends and want to chill. We shared one bowl of shrimp yakisoba and a katsu chicken bowl that I customized to my liking. We absolutely loved them and finished everything. Food is very expensive though and they nickel and dime you for additional toppings, but at least the portions somewhat justify it. Beyond that I have no complaints.

Ramen is up there with some of the best I've had and I'm from Chicago…read more Not overly salted which is how you know they trust their dish. The only negative is the egg, which isn't molten like other ramen spots. It could've been cooked more and at least cut in half to let it absorb the broth. I got the miso ramen with the fire in the bowl. Get this - the best part wasn't the ramen, it's the bao buns. I got the soft shell crab one which was actually perfect. Seaweed salad hit the spot too. Live music and pool tables. Arcades as well. Entrance is in the back. Service was busy towards the end of the night, but the sever was helpful in explaining the menu.

Yep, yep, and yep!…read more The answer to every question you could have about this place is YES! They are conveniently located within the Frandor shopping Center and there is ample parking. Team members were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The space was also welcoming offering a reasonable number of clean tables, a clean and accessible restroom, clean busing station and overall well-kept esthetic. Food was undoubtedly unexpected. Fresh, light, distinctly flavorful and brought to our table. Perfect portions, prepared to perfection. They also extend a discount to MSU employees and students on Wednesdays, genius! Looking forward to making this place a staple!

For those want to try this restaurant, this is not a ramen shop, nor Japanese neither. More like…read moreAsian fusion noddle shop. They have pho stock, miso, shoyu soup, curry and others soup base. Also stir fry noddles, buns and wings. Menu is very diverse and they look good and taste good. Noodles bowl you pick your own ingredients. It can be pricey if you all more main ingredients like beef or mushrooms. Yes they charge like $3 for mushrooms. Their soup seems like they make their own and not premade somewhere or heavy on msg. You can actually drink. One of the reason it is more pricey then your typical Japanese restaurant. It is one of the best restaurant if not the best in this little town. Parking on the street is free by the way and usually plenty of space during week day

We really enjoyed our lunch here today…read more I had the Spicy Miso Ramen and it was wonderful. Spicy but not crazy hot. Delicious broth, noodles, mushrooms and bamboo. And a surprisingly delightful pork. My bride had the vegetarian creamy ramen. She loved it, especially the broth. Tons of veggies. It was a big serving, she couldn't even finish it all.

The spicy chili garlic seasoning added the perfect amount of spice. And they even bring out extra spice to the table, if you need more! The fresh house-made noodles were cooked perfectly. I added chicken to my bowl instead of the pork. It was tender and so flavorful. The toppings -- marinated egg, green onions, bamboo shoots, kikurage mushrooms, and sesame seeds -- all came together really well. I added soybeans to my bowl. Definitely one of the best ramen bowls I've had in Michigan. I'll be back for sure. Service was quick. And even at 4pm, the place was already packed. My belly was so happy after this meal!
