"Southwest Detroit ramen bar Johnny Noodle King took advantage of extended dining room closures during the pandemic by upgrading its building. The renovated restaurant now sports a double-decker layout with a rooftop dining area that offers views of the Ambassador Bridge and Michigan Central, alongside non-traditional riffs on Japanese noodle dishes and crispy gyoza. Takeout is available, but you’re here for the patio vibes anyway, right?" - Courtney Burk
"Located right off the Ambassador Bridge, this West Fort ramen shop serves a wide range of noodle dishes, from more traditional options like their signature tantanmen with minced duck, scallions, and bamboo shoots, to “dorm room ramen,” a gourmet take on the 29 cent pack of Maruchan noodles. They also make their own brand of whiskey and if you’re looking for a good Happy Hour, sake pours are only $2 from 3-6pm every weekday." - sara barron, sam faye
"A longtime Southwest Detroit eatery started by the Driscoll restaurateur team more than a decade ago, referenced as one of the owners’ well-known neighborhood ventures that helped build their local reputation." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Getting a table at Johnny Noodle King in Southwest Detroit can sometimes be tricky for a party of two, let alone larger groups, especially during the cold winter months when everyone is craving a piping hot bowl of ramen. This is why it’s worth trying to snag a solo stool at the bar. Slurp away in peace on any number of ramen dishes, like the always popular tonkotsu with pork broth, pork belly, and black garlic oil. (Besides, who’s going to care if you have garlic breath?)" - Serena Maria Daniels
"Based in Southwest Detroit, Johnny Noodle King is collaborating with Huddle to prepare the winter broth that Huddle will begin serving on Sunday, November 1; the broth will be available through the end of February 2021 in pork, chicken, and vegetarian varieties in 12-ounce cups with mix-ins like burnt garlic miso and smoked butter, sold for $6 and available daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m." - Brenna Houck
