Dee..li....cous!! Had the spicy shrimp noodles, lobster Rangoon and a chicken thigh. Broth should have been piping hot but it wasn't. If I'm not blowing on my food personally it's not hot enough but that's just me, it definitely didnt take any flavor away so ill still give 5 stars. If you like your food HOT HOT let them know..... Go down and let them know Jeff The Honest Reviewer sent you 😁

My family and I were in town and wanted ramen, but couldn’t find a place to park in the city, so we happened across Johnny Noodle King with fairly low expectations. When we went in, we quickly realized we were in for a wonderful treat. Our waitress was one of the most friendly and outgoing people we’ve ever met, and the bartender was also very friendly and kind. The food was (strong expletive) AMAZING. Our young daughter ate most of her food (appetizers included) with her eyes closed so she could better enjoy it. My wife and I ate what we could, bought T-shirts, got hugs from most of the staff and we drove 2 hours home and ate the leftovers. We almost never eat leftovers. Six months later, we’re back in the area and our daughter INSISTED we go back, and we did. As luck would have it, our waitress and bartender from last time were working remembered us! We got big hugs, smiles and hello’s, which means a lot. Of course, the food was as amazing as our first time, we ate what we could and finished it when we got home a couple hours later. My family decided that Johnny Noodle is now a MUST-STOP location every time we’re in Detroit.

Awesome joint off fort st. Great staff seated us quick. Cool little menu with some great options. Apps delicious. Noodle bowls were wonderful. Loved the flavors and option add ons.

Great noodles and service. I got the two daily specials, and my only complaint was that I didn't have room to try more. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back!

This place has the best ramen! It’s a mostly intimate with a little more room in the garage door/bar side. Clearly a trendy place with good food. They had delicious cocktails too. Would love to take advantage of their outside spots in warmer weather. Will be back the next time we’re in Detroit!

Everything exceeded our expectations from all the other good reviews. If you like ramen I guarantee you’ll love this place!!! There’s something for everyone, I love the fusion style items, the rotating apps and specials keep things fresh and different! Lots of vegan and vegetarian items. The staff was incredibly quick nice funny and knowledgeable, our waitress gave us great recommendations and I can’t wait to come back when visiting Detroit again

Always love JNK! They have great rotating specials that change every week on top of their staples. The lobster rangoon and chicken karaage are must have apps. They just expanded their seating so there is an additional bar and an outdoor patio. Definitely recommend!

I made the mistake of assuming Johnny Noodle King was going to be a spot with legit Asian food. It might qualify for some, but not for this SE Asian. First off, for the non-locals, this is not located anywhere you can walk to easily from downtown hotels. You'll need a rideshare or rental car as it's in an industrial/commercial area. I was dining solo and was seated at the bar at about 1:20pm. Ordered not long after. The two apps showed up relatively quickly, but it took almost 40 mins for the noodle to arrive. The waitress even asked if I wanted the check, and I had to note I'd take it but I'm still waiting for my food! Bacon fried rice was so-so. Topped with pork floss and dressed with three cucumber slices, it was filled with bits of bacon and pork belly chunks. Rice stuck together in clumps though. I had them hold the corn. Gyoza order has five pieces. They are petit. Wrapper was tough on the edges and dry. Not much inside as you can see from the pic. Flavor was ok as there was more ginger vs pork. Tonkotsu - other than the 40 minute wait for something that should have been ready in 5, it was topped with a perfectly cooked egg and three slices of griddle seared pork belly (was super chewy, hard to bite through,) lots of bamboo and green onions. But skimpy on the mung beans. And the broth was not opaque or creamy as it should be. It was thick and oily, but it lacked the creaminess of a true Tonkotsu. All the above food and one green tea ran $45 after tax and tip. This is culturally appropriated gentrified Asian food. It isn't Ramen just because you're using the noodle. And it's no where near being Chinese, so don't classify it as such. Not worth the time to wait in line, but but you do you if this is what you're after. If you want real Asian food, find some place else. This ain't it.

A robust menu that spans Japanese, Thai, and Chinese cuisine. There are aspects of the restaurant that is fusion, and other areas that is modern - much like the ambiance of the place. Upbeat, lively with a nice breeze from the river area. My friends were newer to the the Asian scene and the food did a good job of breaking that ice for them. We had a great time and left them with a memorable first. Of particular note, the Tonkatsu ramen was great. The pouched egg was just right and the pork better was charred just right.

This was our first time and will definitely be back. Steven was our server and he was awesome! He recommended all the best entries and awesome drinks that we probably wouldn’t of tried without his awesome expertise ( He deserves a raise ). 100/10 recommended =)

the beef short rib ramen was 10/10!!! flavors were unique and so powerful! i would return for this again and again!! compared to the short rib ramen , the pork belly did not compete but was still amazing! the chicken karage was and pork bao buns were also really great! for being short staffed the service was amazing!!

Johnny Noodle King is AMAZING!! We drive an hour and a half just to eat here. We love the expansion of the dining room, the service is great and the food keeps us coming back for more!!

Took a business lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. A delicious and freshly curated menu of authentically inspired dishes accompanied by excellent customer service. My colleague and I comfortably enjoyed our meals in the newer addition to the building where they have built a beautiful new bar. I look forward to returning to experience both eating at the new bar space and the rooftop seating that I see they have added above it as well. This place has done a great job at refining their culinary and community footprint and I am here for it.

This place is fantastic! Though I've always wanted to, I've never had ramen. We went together after a friend recommended this place. We had a warm welcome as soon as we arrived, and our waiter was quite helpful in making recommendations based on my preferences. The pig belly tonkotsu I had was quite wonderful. It was quite flavorful, just like my friend's red curry. I'll return to taste more of their cuisine without a doubt.

Woah! The food in this place is just amazing! They have great options for vegetarian foodies, and generous portions, so we left happily satisfied with full tummies. A great experience all around.

I will definitely be coming back! I had the New Seoul ramen (it was SO good. The noodles and broth were both very flavorful with a lot of depth of flavor and the meat broke apart with chopsticks). I would definitely recommend it and order it again. The person I was with had the Shoyu ramen which was also very tasty. Less flavor in the noodles than the New Seoul ones but the toppings and broth were all amazing. They would also order it again and recommend it. We also got the house pickles (which were good although I'm not sure I'd get them again), the pork bao (would DEF get again), and the lobster Rangoon (would also get again; the sauce was so good although the shells were crispy, it was still very tasty). It was fairly busy when we tried to go (but there was a convention in town which likely contributed to it). But we didn't have to wait more than 20 minutes for a table. The service was quick and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. All in all 11/10 will go back whenever I'm in town next

Johnny is definitey the noodle king! Our meal was delicious. We had the Beef Bao, bacon fried rice, Captain Katsu and Burnt Garic Miso noodles. Both the broths were delicious and the chicken katsu was cooked perfectly! The service was very good and despite being busy, the place wasnt loud. We will be back!

The food is overall really amazing, if somewhat pricey. My partner's tonkatsu ramen was overly salty, otherwise I'd say the food would be five stars. Fun environment on Detroit's west side and nice offerings of bao, mochi, sake in addition to a robust ramen menu.

Can't wait to go back and try more! Our waitress was so amazing and helped us pick some of the best items from the menu. Her recommendations did NOT disappoint!!!
