Noodlepig Ramen and Boba Tea Shop

The Zessan is WOWSA! So much flavor packed into a creamy broth with ramen noods. We also tried the Chicken Sando XL with a side of their signature fries and butter noods. The butter noods were pretty fantastic, think Japanese Alfredo with lemongrass hints! The chicken Sando was good, but I felt the amount of meat or size of the sandwich was not commensurate with a steep $13 price tag. I didn’t taste the meat as much as I tasted bun -and I couldn’t taste the sauce at all. The star was those fries! Wowsa! I'm going to see them in my dreams! The employees were great, the atmosphere was clean and bright, and I loved the emphasis on eco responsibility. Lastly, check the prices of beverages before you order. Unless we were overcharged, a fountain pop is $4.50-5ish. It was a regular-sized cup of Diet Coke, nothing fancy or jumbo. I probably would’ve passed had I known. I've heard they have the best fried chicken in GR... we will be back to try the Karaage! And to get more fries!

Solid ramen and boba, for sure. Lots of flavors and toppings to choose from, so with some help I settled on the signature zessan broth with char siu pork and an aji egg, alongside a dirty chai boba. Hot fresh boba in a refreshing chai hit right on the spot. And the ramen was really good, warm, lots of broth with a good balance of flavor and just the right amount of fat to coat everything in a good way. Pork was tender and the egg was stellar. Great lunch!

We just got finished working and my husband and I were hungry but didn’t know really what to eat so we just looked on Google maps and saw this place was open till 10 which was perfect since it was after 8pm after we got done packing up our booth. I had the Zesson with a whole ski egg, pork belly, and a dumpling. My husband had the curry with two dumplings and ham. Everything was so good!! We tried each others and agreed it was delicious!

TLDR: ordered burger and chewed on a small sharp object. Extremely salty ramen. Overpriced for mid food. Won’t order from them again. I don’t really give online food reviews, but I had to this time. I love Japanese food as much as the next person, but not really from this restaurant. The first food I ordered from them was ramen. It was one of the saltiest ramen I’ve ever had, to the point where I couldn’t really finish it. Today was my second time ordering from them and I got the Katsu Sando XL. The burger tasted nice up until I chewed on something unexpected. When I eat a burger, I don’t except to chew on something hard. But I did. When I took it out, it turned out to be a small object with sharp corners. This really surprised me. I tried calling them from their website but all I heard back was "Sorry. This number is currently not in service. Please try again". If someone else ate this burger, there would’ve been serious consequences. Would not order from here again.

Great ramen! Rich flavor, fresh noodles. The eggs and pork belly were great. Identical to the ramen I had in Japan but with a much nicer atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Was extremely disappointed at this place. The food looked amazing in photos and in person but flavor is so gross the worst part the noodles were under cooked regular speghetti noodles from an Italian dish not ramen or soba style. Key take aways it's ala carte, over priced, and bland.

The ramen portion was good and the fries were hot and well seasoned. Shrimp was so so for us. The sauces were adventurous as there was a hint of smell/taste that was not our liking. The place is spacious and clean. You can pack for your leftovers with the containers placed in the middle of the place.
