Umami Ramen in Battle Creek

The food was very tasty but is it supposed to be cold? Ours was and it was a little odd to be honest. The food just tastes so very good though

I love umami ramen! Food is always amazing. I did go in the other day and ordered 3 bobas and let’s just say it needs some tweaking. Ordered a chocolate (very sweet), mango (tasted like canned peachesand coconut (no offense umamibut this one was gross, tasted like I was drinking noodle water. I love you guys but, I’m thinking boba isn’t your thing. Much love always though.

Really good food. The person who took our order wasnt friendly or helpful. Food made it worth it.

Those chicken egg rolls are to die for!!!!! Also, the loaded wantons- so good!I wish I would have learned of this place sooner, now I want to try everything! Highly recommend and today was my first time trying it. I will be back!

No. Just no… When the food came out the bowls looked good. But there was nothing “Umami” about the ramen. Ordered Pork Tonkatsu broth and definitely lacked flavor. I’ve lived in Japan for more than half my life and I can’t even say this would satisfy any ramen craving. I’ve had better ramen outside of state and I can say this doesn’t compare to other places. Definitely won’t be going back.

Never open when I get out of work... So I guess the working class doesnt get to eat this food, its too bad .

I love this place, and Battle Creek needs this place! They give you hearty portions, the owner and her staff are very friendly, and always happy to chat with chatter boxes like me, lol!

Truly love the staff, food, and atmosphere here. Owners are great people and want to truly help the community. Nothing but fresh ingredients and weekly specials all sourced from local sources. Always keep an eye out for when lani is cooking the special for the week- she is always amazing! Support this place with your business it’s definitely worth your time and money! My favorite item is the chicken egg roll! One of my favorite spots in Battle Creek!

Hands down, Ive been to Chicago, LA, SAN FRAN, NY, BOSTON, MIAMI, TOYKO... There is no better place for noodles....I cant describe it, its different, its BETTER, but still ramen and udon (my favorite). Their specials are also usually very good. Tonkotsu broth is unmatched....sometimes greatness isnt found in some huge city... THIS is one of those times! If you like Asian noodle dishes and dont eat here youve done yourself and everyone you know a disserve 😜. Anyway its good ...really really good.

We just love Umami Raman! What Pecoon, Lance and crew have brought to the table is unmatched in Battle Creek! Fresh, fast and local, bravo!

Great place upbeat atmosphere , the owners have a passion to serve great tasting food. Peecoon & Lance are a blessing to BC, they are Kind, Generous, and Honest & they make a great ramen amongst other things. They are easy to find for quick lunch to go or cafe style indoors & patio.

The best food here. I love this place & the new location is gorgeous. However, they are temporarily closed at the moment, FYI(01-11-22). Which is understandable with the ongoing pandemic and supply chain shortages. Check their Facebook page for the most up to date information.

It really is great Ramen. Leave your perceptions of cheap Styrofoam noodles and flavor packets behind. Home-made noodles, lovingly crafted broths and the toppings🤌🤌. My only criticism is their odd hours of operation and they could really do with a soda-fountain.

I ve been looking for a good noodle shop and happened upon this place with a couple of friends. We all ordered something different, and all unanimously agreed it was amazing. I had rice noodles, brisket pho broth and brisket. Delicious! My friends went back to California, but Ill be back enough times to make up for them.

25 minutes to get one to go bowl while staff made multiple, large to go orders for customers that werent there. Given the wrong bag and drove 30 minutes home as silly me assumed a simple order wouldnt be entirely wrong. Avoid until they get it together unless you have lots of time and live nearby.Edit: they have a dedicated expediter now. There were several people in front of me this time but the wait was shorter. Im really glad its sorted, the food is 5 stars.

(4.5 StarsExcellent 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!

This little slice of heaven has thee most amazing food the owner is super nice and she kills it with every week with something new on the menu. Love love love this place. If you come to Battle Creek and down find this place for lunch your missing out 5⭐ deserving of every one.

I had a delicious ramen and chicken bowl with dark and red sauce. First time so I asked for the two on the side. Actually I mixed them and it was wonderful. I might try something with a little more kick next time. I was surprised how inexpensive the bowl was considering how large the portion was. Very friendly, efficient staff. The Mango bubble tea is a little bit of heaven in a glass!

Had such a wonderful first (and secondexperience here that I had to write a review. We dined in the first time and we were very happy with service, pricing and the food! So, so good! You are definitely getting your moneys worth here. The second time we ordered, we did takeout. They packaged up our food with care and it was ready on time. Very polite staff and accommodating. What else can I say! Hope this gem stays in town for as long as possible!

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

Wow! Pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. Food was simple in content, but the flavors were amazing. Will certainly go back again.

Saw the reviews and decided to see if the place lived up to all of the hype. We were here overnight to hit the casino while on vacation and this was a first for us going to a place focused on ramen.Let me just say that the ramen egg rolls were off the chain. I was worried about the shrimp being rubbery but delightfully surprised at how soft and delicious they were. The Korean burrito was everything that people made it out to be. The ramen was equally delicious and was very nice surprise.The staff were friendly, helpful, and very efficient. Just a great place to try and well worth the drive to come back and visit again. We live four hours away from here and we plan to return.

Amazing food and amazing service! The staff is very energetic all around and does their best to help with any questions. We spent about $10/person on food and another $5/ person getting bubble tea! The coconut or Chai bubble tea are delicious and come highly recommended.

Tastes amazing menu was a little unclear but the service made up for that

It was my first time here and the portions are generous! There was a mistake made during ordering with the prices and after I had paid they discovered it and refunded the money. Honest people working here!! Also, my daughter who is very picky did not like her food and they brought us something else free of charge. Very nice!!

Hands down, the best restaurant in Battle Creek. I’ve never had a less than stellar flavor experience. Do yourself a favor and get after it here.

Very tasty. Fresh vegetables and a delicious vibe that told my taste buds. Yummy! The photo is the aftermath lol

First time going, was delicious! Liked the low carb options. I could not stop eating it. So good!

Service: Wow just wow. Before even ordering, the manager greeted us with a warm welcome, oriented us about the their broth and that it is free to try so we know what we want. Plus, everyone is friendly.Food: Their beef brisket is amazing! The pork belly Bao I ordered is addictive so I went to order 3 more. House pickles are fresh!!!! Will order pork Tonkatsu soon.Overall, you can see a lot of regular customers smiling as they get their food. You will understand why this place have a 5-star rating. As an Asian, this restaurant is a great representation of how we put our love in cooking food. 10/10 the best restaurant in Battle Creek/Kalamazoo area! ❤️P.s these food relieves me from feelings of homesickness as an Asian immigrant. Thank you!

Great Noodle place with a lot of options for Broth, Proteins, Sauces, and Garnishes. I definitely recommend the Pork Belly. The only drawback is its a little on the pricey side. 3 bowls of soup and 3 drinks was $62. The outdoor patio is very nice as well.

Wish this place wasnt 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.

Really tasty. Not a cheap lunch but not too pricey if you dont get a bunch of add ons.The hot shili is hot, not Midwest hot which is a plus. Diluting it in the broth gives a nice balance. People are friendly and service is fast. If youre in Battle Creek check it out.

Great ramen place in BC. They have great selection of items on the menu. We had ramen bowls. Tge flavors were fantastic. The portions were huge. The staff was friendly and courtious. They have a small sit down area inside. The service is quick and can get busy in the afternoon. I would give this place 5 stars but two things really i missed was 1. It was not in order. I get it. It was busy. But I expect it to be little cleaner. 2. There was no boba tea. I could live with my 1st complaint but 2nd is unacceptable. I saw photos on reviews and was excited to see they did not have any.

Its real easy to drive by the restaurant if youre not looking for it. When I entered the restaurant, it didnt 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!

Good ramen and other Asian inspired meals. But the special was pozole. Ramen was very good. This was my first visit since I live in Kalamazoo but there are so many menu items I want to try. Ill definitely return! Support local business!

Amazing food! The odon noodles with beef broth and brisket is delicious!!!!

Hidden gem in such a small town in MI. It was a perfect mid stop between Ann Arbor and Chicago. The menu was simple to understand but the flavors were complex and fully developed. We wanted to try everything on the menu, but had to really restrain ourselves. I had udon noodle in pork katsu broth with pork shoulder, kimchi, bean sprout, seaweed as stuffings. They let me try ALL the soup base and still gave me a generous portion of everything for such a reasonable price! I make my own port tender and it tastes just as moist and flavorful. My husband had pork belly with curry and ramen noodle. His was so good and the pork belly wasnt too oily. Wish we had more room in our belly, but thatll motivate us to come back. The room was small, but smelled amazing with roasted garlic. Even at 2 pm, it was still crowded. I think why people would be frustrated if they cant find a place to seat and eat your yummy noodle. The owner was so nice to the kids who wanted to eat pizza and brough pizza from outside and even gave them free juice!

So I loveeee this place! Firstly, the staff is very nice and the owner supports the community. Even though lines can get long, you dont feel rushed. The food is very affordable, they clearly understand our pockets. Then theres the food. I ordered ramen chicken curry , its 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 cant wait to come back and try more foods!

Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Unami is a tiny restaurant but dont let its size fool you the food served here is amazing quality. The menu is simple written on a chaulk board. Choose a noodle type, a sauce and a meat. Sides, appetizers, and deserts are also available. The staff loved giving out samples of the sauces.Love this restaurant cant wait to go back.

Delicious! Had no idea there was great ramen in Battle Creek until several people recommended one day, so I had to stop in for takeout. Great options for vegetarians, too. Hope to be back soon!

I love ramen- I can eat ramen all day, only issue was not having enough vegetables as toppings. Ramen is a mixture of broth, protein (meat), the sauces and the vegetables. It’s also usually topped with egg, which wasn’t an option. Overall it was good, I think I’ll have to try other flavors next time! (I got the miso broth with chicken)

My wife and I absolutely love this place. Any chance we get we make the trip up to Battle Creek to get our favorite ramen bowls. The loaded wontons are amazing. Wed love to have one in Kalamazoo.

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.

This place is amazing every time. Great homemade food, super friendly, great prices. Go here. Do it now.

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.

Love this place. Great tasting fresh food. Maybe a little on the expensive side but at least its a ton of food.

The best Vietnamese/Thai mix of food Ive ever had! I built my own bowl, veggie noddles, curry and shrimp, as well as a ramen/chicken egg roll! Everything was so fresh and tasted soooo good. I was driving through town from Washington, DC, so was happy to find it! If this restaurant was in DC, there was be a two hour wait - people would go crazy for this!

Ok second time there now....DANK DANK DANK!!!! This food is so Lit it really does remind me of Hawaii Noodle shops. Did I Mentionn it was DANK!!!But honesty. I have had iver half the menu in two visits. Order food to go bith times also. So so so so goooood!

The food is absolutely delicious. Its definitely a fusion, but dont let that dissuade you. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and helpful, and everything about this place is just awesome.

Great food . Korean burrito and rib tip are incredibly delicious. Sorry I ate half of My giant burrito then took the picture. Couldnt wait . Yummmmm.
