"This pint-sized Los Angeles ramen bar import had a habit of attracting lines before the pandemic thanks to its flavorful broths and noodles made fresh on site. Now customers can place their orders online for a to-go bowl from Urban Ramen featuring one of three styles of broth: chicken paitan, tonkotsu, and vegan shoyu ramen. The restaurant also offers a small list of dishes such as Japanese fried chicken and matcha mochi." - Eater Staff, Dorothy Hernandez

"Urban Ramen is set to debut its Detroit outpost in Midtown next month at 4206 Woodward Ave. The restaurant, which has been in the works since last August, confirmed it would open at 11 a.m. on Monday, July 2, in the former Falafill space. Urban Ramen is expected to offer a similar menu to its original restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles with options like spicy miso ramen. The Detroit restaurant will feature a noodle machine at the entrance of the business, so customers can see the process first hand before eating a bowl of fresh ramen noodles. Urban Ramen also serves a variety of broths such as chicken, pork, and vegan maitake mushroom-shoyu." - Brenna Houck

Trolley stops right at this location. Finding parking can be hard. Allow 20-30 means at least before being seated (no sms so you need to stick around or walk nearby). It is a very small restaurant (used to be Falafill) with a capacity of around 20 seats. They try to be as efficient as possible so they take the order at the door when your turn is up and before you are seated. There is a quick turnover of tables. The food quality Is outstanding and the prices are moderates. You have options of traditional Japanese fare like edamame and sushi. The menu has both noodles with broth and pork belly or chicken. There are also rice bowls. The staff is very friendly and hard working. I will be going back.

Awesome experience of food and service. Right when you walk in (if it isn’t busy), you place your order before you’re seated and food is at your table in under 10 minutes. Super tasty broth and crispy fried chicken. Their noodles are homemade and thinner than your traditional ramen, but still awesome. There’s parking out front, but if it’s not busy you only need the hour because you’re in and out in less than 25 mins.

This place is DEFINITELY my new go-to spot for ramen. The broth was very flavorful, the pork belly and chicken were moist and delicious. Urban Ramen takes pride in their dishes and it clearly shows with the ingredients they use. Once seated, food was received quickly. Staff is very accommodating. I cannot wait for them to continue to expand.

The place is small but tall 🤣 at the moment I went there was only there items on the menu available to order. I'm super glad what I wanted was one of them. I got the tonkatsu ramen I got it extra thick and spicy. It is home made noodles also! It was super rich and delicious 🤤 the staff was friendly. I would come back and I recommend coming here

Very straight forward, simple menu. I loved it! Got my tonkotsu ramen with medium broth (richness). Tasted great! Very good, professional service. They don't have a lot of seats available so if you come in a big group be prepare to wait.

I've had the privilege to eat at both locations in LA and Detroit. They are very different experiences but there are three things that are the same between the two: 1) The staff greets you the same, friendly way. 2) The food is excellent. 3) They have the same name. The pork ramen with medium favor was my choice. The broth is very flavorful, porky, and rich. The pork belly was tender and almost melted in my mouth. The molten ego was proper and not hard boiled. And the noodles had a great taste and texture. Be prepared for a wait. There are only 20-22 seats. The server will also take your order before you are seated. I'll be back for sure!

We are a big family of 5 ramen heads and unanimously love this place. I'll keep this review short and sweet: PROS - Friendly staff. They really help us feel like home. - Best ramen in the Detroit metro area, hands down. I've visited many different ramen places around and left disappointed, never to return. - It is great that you can select your broth thickness and the spice on the side. - The noodles made in house DO make a noticeable difference. Trust me on this one. CONS - Very long wait... when hungry... not a good idea. Go ahead and expand to the place next door guys, you'll be full all day long anyway! - Marinated egg sometimes is on point, sometimes overcooked. - It'd be beneficial to ensure the temperature of the pork and egg are even with the broth before serving. Maybe it's a small detail but I've noticed they're slightly colder than the rest of the dish.

The broth is rich, creamy and flavorful. The noodles are so well made. I can now tell the difference between authentic homemade noodles to packaged processed ones. Me and my bf really enjoyed it here. Will definitely be coming back.
