"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
"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 alongside non-traditional riffs on Japanese noodle dishes and crispy gyoza." - 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
"Johnny Noodle King is a laid-back ramen shop from the folks behind Green Dot Stables that pays tribute to traditional Japanese ramen shops while also incorporating local flavors. Bowls range from traditional shoyu to Viet Cajun with Cajun-spiced chicken broth, andouille sausage, and shrimp. Diners can further customize bowls with toppings such as seaweed, egg, or chicken for an additional charge. Pair the meal with pork buns or dumplings. Place orders by phone or online for takeout. This spot now features patio-only seating." - Eater Staff, Dorothy Hernandez
