I like the veggie bowl with Sapporo broth and extra veggies, Thai chilies and a soft boiled egg added. Let the egg sink to the bottom and really soak up the broth before enjoying that tasty morsel.Upvote5Downvote- Sapporo ramen and the mochi ice cream are my favorites! Tiramisu mochi ice cream is amazing. The butter really enhances the flavor of the Sapporo ramen. Sometimes there's a wait, so plan accordingly!

Austin ChronicleDecember 30, 2013Ramen is Japanese comfort food, which is precisely what Michi serves, along with all the trimmings. Thrill seekers may go for the spicy Jungle Ramen flavored with lemongrass with crisp bean sprouts. Read more

The Ramen is good I like the Jungle it has a nice level of Spice but give the soup a little time to absorb the heat. The Burnt ends are really tender and yummy.Upvote2Downvote
AmandaNovember 5, 2014My new favorite restaurant! Love the sapporo! Delicious ramen noodles, buttered corn, woodear mushrooms (great crunchiness). Add spicy (it's moderately spicy; great flavor/texture)Upvote1Downvote- Josh AJune 24, 2015Wow awesome. I went for Jungle Ramen which wasn't very spicy. Definitely add an egg. The burnt ends app was awesomely umami. Good beer too. Can't wait to try a stout broth next time.UpvoteDownvote
Comparable to Ramen Tatsu-ya but with NO WAIT. The broth isn't overly salty and if you're missing a little spice or crunch ask for a side of the Thai peppers, surprisingly sweet! And get mochi!!!!!!!!

Angel PerezSeptember 21, 2014This place is legit if you're looking for ramen. Doesn't look welcoming from the outside but don't be deceived, it's a hidden gem! #Sapporo #Dumplings #092014

Andee Derby-AguileraAugust 1, 2017The calamari and seaweed salad apps are awesome. This place is a hipsters haven but if you can look past that, it's well worth it.

Sue YangAugust 7, 2014Personal favorite is the original Michi ramen, regular broth, with added ajitama and menma toppings. If you love spicy like me, get the chili oil on the side!UpvoteDownvote
Don NoJuly 31, 2013Try an authentic Japanese Craft beer! Hitachino Nest. White Ale, Red Rice Ale, Ginger or Japanese Classic Ale (beer aged in cedar casks)!

Far more well-curated beer list than you might expect, and a better Japanese bottle & Saké list than you might imagine. Oh. And great ramen too.UpvoteDownvote

Meagan ♑November 8, 2014Whatever you do, get the egg in your ramen. Cheap and tasty, feels like a splurge without breaking the bank.

The is by far best value for your dollar. You can get out of here spending $16 for two people. Not to mention the food is amazing.UpvoteDownvote
Corey WardDecember 29, 2014The curry was delicious, and the ramen was pretty good too. Lighter broth and richness than Tatsu-ya, plus lots of options.UpvoteDownvote
Ailie ChangFebruary 8, 2015If you're craving ramen and with a larger party, Michi Ramen seating is much better for groups than Tatsuya.Upvote1Downvote
Brook ShelleyApril 11, 2015Pretty dang good. It's a toss up between this and tatsuya for best ramen in townUpvote1Downvote
Josh ButnerAugust 30, 2015Literally everything is great, but the Gyoza and Dipping ramen are standouts for me.Upvote1Downvote
Alex GarciaAugust 19, 2015The broth of the Michi was very good, order regular if you are not sure. I did not like the pork though, compared to Tatsu-ya's, the pork was not as soft. Overall, a good experience.UpvoteDownvote
Roger LeAugust 25, 2013Sapporo with stout broth was super tasty and filling. **All the broths seem to heavy on the salty side so expect to drink a lot of water/your beverage of choice.UpvoteDownvote
I love the dipping ramen here + the fat noodles they serve with it! I sub the fish cake for the pork & add an ajitama egg.UpvoteDownvote
Rebecca HueySeptember 21, 2014Good pork and great add-ons. Check out their reverse happy hour after 9. Finish your meal with some mochi.UpvoteDownvote
Loved this cross promotion up front. Smart move by both.

Have a chat with Freddie the owner. Gives you the rundown of moving from trailer to full-on bricks and mortar. Very cool.Upvote1Downvote
Faye GarciaMarch 4, 2013Bubbies mochi ice cream available for dessert! They are the best! My favorites are sakura, green tea, mango and espresso.Upvote2Downvote
Melissa HNovember 9, 2014Delicious ramen! Confused as to why they could make me onsen tamago but they were out of ajitama...

Ramen is always amazing. Love to pair with toriten or burnt ends. Curry rice also a winner!UpvoteDownvote
Although they tried to dissuade me, I got the Jungle ramen with stout broth and an ajitama egg and it was amazing.Upvote1Downvote

Kiwí ColadaOctober 9, 2016Best mochi ice cream I've had! The seasonal flavor now is chocolate covered strawberries.UpvoteDownvote
Edwyn AJanuary 2, 2014Meat lovers ... There are 3 broths to choose from - this is the regular broth

LisaJuly 25, 2016The Michi ramen was okay. Regular broth is not what traditional ramen broth supposed to be. Maybe try the stout broth. Everything is salty. Chasiu is diced instead of sliced

Dwane LayMay 23, 2014This place is off the charts good. Go with the michi. And a pistachio mochi for dessert. Wow.UpvoteDownvote
Food just as good if not better as Ramen Tatsuya, and no lines. What's not to like?Upvote1Downvote
KeiLee McClendonSeptember 26, 2015I like to build my own Ramen. I don't like their chashu but their noodles are amazing!UpvoteDownvote
Mon GzaJune 13, 2015Very thick broth if you're into that. Banana beer. The mochi are delicious!UpvoteDownvote
Morris CeseñaJanuary 29, 2014Really good. I got the Michi regular, no add on's and it was great. Nice environment.UpvoteDownvote- Ordered To Go today and the waitress threw in a seaweed salad today for FREE. All b/c she remembered I liked them. That's Customer Service!Upvote7Downvote
Haru MansfieldAugust 9, 2014Ramen is obviously delicious but you've got to try the Tatsuta Age as an app.UpvoteDownvote
