My husband and I stopped in at the recommendation of a friend. With a max seating of 18-21 at the tables indoors, its a casual and cozy dining experience. The friendly and helpful staff explained a few of the menu items we werent familiar with. I ordered pork tonkatsu with pork belly and summer squash noodles, my husband got the same but with ramen noodles. The food was delicious, generous helpings served up hot in big bowls with a large variety of available garnishes. A good selection of bottled drinks are kept on ice. There are also a few tasty extras like egg rolls with a variety of meats or tofu. We arrived a bit before closing, so the place wasnt as packed as I had read. The staff were getting ready for a team meeting, but made sure to check if we needed anything before they started and as soon as we stood up to leave. We were very impressed at the respectful and collaberative tone of their meeting, happy to see a team discuss issues and solutions in open and constructive discussion. They definitely care and listen to their customers. A wonderful place, with wonderful food, served up by wonderful people! I couldnt ask for more!

I have been craving some good ramen since I visited Japan last year and this place definitely sated my ramen craving. The food here was amazing and the staff were all so friendly. The restaurant is on the small side, so seating is a hit or miss, but this place is still great even for takeout. Their take out portions are just as generous as their regular portions. I would eat here every day if it was closer to my work, Ill definitely be going at least once a week if work/time permits. Amazing, amazing food!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had pork belly ramen with pho broth, my wife had tofu in chickpea curry. The pork belly was cooked perfectly and just dissolved in my mouth. The pho was rich, with a nice blend of savory and sour. Plenty of options for topping your ramen. The house pickled carrots and kimchi were especially good. Staff is friendly and very helpful. The gentleman taking our order took plenty of time going over the menu with my wife and I. Pricing is very good. With tip the two of us got quite full for about $25.

Long wait, but absolutely worth it. In der Mittagspause muss man hier ziemlich lange in der Schlange warten, denn sie sind ganz populär, aber die Geduld lohnt sich. Kreativ und lecker.

Ive eaten here twice in the last two days ! The ramen noodles were perfectly cooked, and the choices for meat, garnishes, and add-ons made this bowl of ramen uniquely mine. Super tasty! Get here early; the line gets long, and seating area is limited. Staff is friendly and helpful - dont be intimidated by the menu board, theyll help you through ordering.

I never expected a ramen place to have the type of flavors and variety you can find here. It is so much more than soup and noodles. The broth, and stock are amazingly full of flavor. They also have some of the most wonderful dishes from their loaded wontons to their asian burrito. If you havent given them a try you are doing yourself a disservice.

Best place to eat in cereal city! Very very fresh ingredients locally sourced and exceptional service. You are greated at the door the moment you walk in! Im a food snob so when I say this place is awesome it probably is and my review does it no justice to describe the experience that your taste buds get to experience at Umami Ramen!

I liked it a lot. Good noodles and plentiful portions. The chicken egg roll was very good. Big piece of chicken meat in the center. Curry dish was very tasty. Service was a little slow but the place was very busy. We will keep this on our come back again list

Delicious! The lamb and pork belly cooked to perfection. Broths and curry Broths were good. Were out-of-Towners. So glad we found this place! And it is worth mentioning that the staff is unusually cool and welcoming taking pride in their restaurant :-) loved it

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.

Wow, everything weve had here has been amazing. They have rice noodles if you need gluten free but watch them close because they tend to pick up utensils used with gluten items to serve up your gluten free meal. Thats why I had to take away a star :(.

A unique dining experience in Battle Creek, located in an inner-city neighborhood. These people really care about their business, and it shows in their friendly service and tasty dishes.
