More of an Asian fusion place than a Japanese restaurant. A variety of build your own noodle bowls with “Korean burritos” and rolls on offer too.
This was my first time eating here and it was very good.

See 2-8-24 Update at bottom:
(4.5 Stars) Excellent food I would have given 5 stars however the chicken was on the bland side. She uses high-grade all white meat. I just wish it had more flavor substance to it. Everything else does an excellent job of carrying the chicken, from the seemingly house made Ramen noodles to the flavor-packed curry sauce. Excellent fresh ingredients apparently at play here!
2024 UPDATE
Loss a star. I alway base my ratings upon value. Value=[Quality/Cost]. Even though there was a small slip in quality from very little chicken inclusion, it still was very tasty. The issue came from the reduced quantity and increased cost. This $10 bowl end up costing over $17 without tip. See pictures.

It’s real easy to drive by the restaurant if you’re not looking for it. When I entered the restaurant, it didn’t give me that “WOW” effect, however the steady stream of customers did! The menu is written nicely on the chalk board and you pick out what you want to eat and they make it for you. The food is delicious. Very seasoned. We ate at the restaurant and my portion was enough for two people. Noodles inside the shrimp egg roll was unexpected. However, it worked! The restaurant is moving to a larger location in April 2020. Stay tuned!

Always worth the stop when we’re in Battle Creek. Lots of vegetarian options. Great Ramen with broth choices. Favorite is the fat tofu veggie egg rolls.

This place is amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. The menu was easy to navigate and the staff were super friendly. Myself and another customer had food allergies and the staff answered all of our questions and made sure we knew what was fried where. They are vegan and vegetarian friendly, which can be hard to find. The restaurant is small and so is the parking lot, which wasn’t a big deal to me. We did notice they will be closed 4/14-4/30/18 for spring cleaning but will be open again in May.

Wish this place wasn’t so far from our house. Simply amazing food. Literally every single thing that I have ever ordered from here has been top notch. This will be added to our rotation of top eats in the area.

So I loveeee this place! Firstly, the staff is very nice and the owner supports the community. Even though lines can get long, you don’t feel rushed. The food is very affordable, they clearly understand our pockets. Then there’s the food. I ordered ramen chicken curry , it’s the type of food that makes your eyes roll back. You get to add all of your garnishes. I also tried the loaded wontons and that tasted soo good. I can’t wait to come back and try more foods!

For those want to try this restaurant, this is not a ramen shop, nor Japanese neither. More like Asian 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

Um yes…. you will never think of Ramen the same. The staff was great. Had the pleasure of listening in on the owner talk food with a customer and you can hear the passion she has for it in her voice and you can taste it in her food. Get the loaded wontons.
Update: a year later and the food and service is still amazing. You won’t find anything like this anywhere else.

Took a chance on this place. Calm atmosphere, friendly staff, clean dining room and bathrooms. Seating is good for 1 – 4 diners, or larger groups too!
