Michi Ramen Bar

"I ate barely one third of the ramen bowl since it was just a bland taste Asian style noodle in pork broth, not Japanese ramen...the way they put CharSiu..and other toppings were not very authentic...most importantly the broth was not what I was looking for...noodle itself was well-cooked (slightly overcooked but still good), but it just did not taste like Tonkotsu ramen at all...I was so sad since I had a craving for Asian food... The rice bowl was also not even close to what we call Donburi in Japan but it was okay like in fusion Asian way, and my American companion loved it. So maybe the opinion to noodle can be subjective to other populations than East Asian customers... The atmosphere was cute and modern, hip, and the service was neat."

"I love Michi Ramen, I try to get something different every time but this is the kind of place that You just want to eat the same thing over and over because you can't believe anything else would be just as good... until you try a different dish and realize ITS ALL GOOD. Oh and they have Sake flights so whats not to love!"

"Amazing hidden gem! The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff is great and the food is incredible! Two thumbs way up."

"I used to work right by a Ramen place in Helena (hokkaido) and my impression of the food here at Michi is that it is both slightly more expensive but also better overall food than my old ramen joint. Came here on a Friday night with a group of 6 friends and someone ordered the meatballs appetizer. I normally don’t order appetizers but these balls were just delicious. With regard to the ramen, I was looking for something spicy and I found one with beef and kimchi in it. It was called the Bulgogi. I got the “sumo” size instead of the regular size. They gave me a warning about the Kimchi being an acquired taste, which is true, but I’m an experienced consumer of kimchi. Fermented foods supposedly are accretive to one’s health and kimchi is a fermented food. Anyway, the Bulgogi was really good (see photo). For me the spiciness was mild but I’d assume most would consider it spicy. The size upgrade to sumo was an extra $2, and since I arrived very hungry it was worth it and I finished the entire thing no problem. I’d go as far as to say it was probably the best ramen I’ve had in Montana thus far. The inside of the restaurant was quite nice too. Overall just a lovely experience with great seating and decent service. I hope to come back soon and try other spicy ramens like the Tantanmen."
