In recent years, several new hot spots have entered the field with warm, rich broth and flavorful noodles. For ramen with a Detroit twist, Japanese noodle seekers can head to Johnny Noodle King in Southwest. For a ramen shop experience in tight quarters with Japanese fried chicken, there’s Los Angeles-based noodle bar Urban Ramen in Midtown. Japanese-influenced noodle bar Ima has also lately entered the ramen leagues at its outpost in Madison Heights and downtown Royal Oak City Ramen, a spot serving rye noodles.
