Stopped by here to check out the new place. I've heard good things from several friends. Ordered the Shoyu chicken ramen. I was disappointed with the noodles. The noodles were not handmade, instead we got something akin to the instant ramen packs you can get for .30 cents at the grocer. Vegetables were squishy and soggy, didn't taste fresh, and the chicken was really soft and mealy. I've should've known it wasn't the best pick for a ramen shop. It's in the heart of Madison heights and not a single other Asian insight! The upsides were that the broth was rich, and tasty! Service staff was really nice! Overall I feel like it was overpriced for the quality of product you got. read more

Ima Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

This location is stronger than the one downtown. If you visit any, visit this location. Flavor and portion sizes are always consistent. Their take out is super easy to navigate and they set it up really well for this current covid world. read more

I have ordered carry out from here 3 times and have eaten in once. The food is delicious and unlike anywhere else I have eaten. The carry out system is no contact and very convenient. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very modern and cool. My only complaint is that the music was a bit too loud. read more

Very authentic Japanese food and reasonable prices. Order and sit with a number. Accommodating service and quick lunch stop. However, a bit too authentic for my taste. read more

My first Ima and my first ramen as this is the only place with pork-free broths. The server was sweet. They give you a number and they will send it to your table. I was very early and I sat the the sunniest window. The food came and after poking it a bit, there was no additional chicken that ordered. I brought the bowl back to the front and they were so cool about it. They apologised, top the bowl with chicken and sent it back to me. Good customer service based on that alone! Now, on to the miso ramen bowl. The serving was huge! The sliced tofu pieces were big and satisfying. The chicken meat was sliced too and quite a big portion. The ramen noodle was springy and the broth was deep and earthy. I can't say it was my favourite as I haven't tried the other flavours but it was a good fulfilling meal. read more

Ima Noodles - Miso ramen $15. They added extra tofu instead of chicken which they rectified later. - Noodles Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

Love this place!!! Have been to the location in Corktown previously and it is great too. This location has a more extensive menu than the Corktown location. The food is fresh and tasty and the service quick and friendly. Glad they opened this one as it is much closer than the one downtown. read more

Very good, I repeatedly get the "spicy tori ramen" and tend to add extra noodles. Not cheap but the portions are large enough to fill you up. Make sure to ask for chili sauce or hot sauce or whatever on the side because its pretty mild, you'll probably want it hotter. Best thing about this place is EVERY SINGLE broth is pork-free mashaAllah, I'm very grateful for that because it is hard to find a ramen place without pork broths. read more

My favorite restaurant. Spicy tori ramen and unagi don rice are amazing! Food comes out very quick as well.

As good as the original Detroit location. Love the fried chicken in any form lol. In fact Ima's fried chicken sandwich is probably the best chicken sandwich I've had in Michigan so far (if you know of something better DM me lol) The vegan choices are always on point as well if I'm not feeling like eating meat. read more

Been coming here for years and never disappoints! The food is always fresh and very tasty. Top notch customer service. Love the SW Detroit location as well. read more

I got the house smoked salmon with brown rice and the salmon well done. It exceeded my expectations!! So much flavor!! Loved it! Loved the ambience in here and the service was great! The bowl was huge! read more

Ima Noodles - House Smoked Salmon well done with brown rice! SO GOOD!!! - Noodles Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

What a wonderful ramen stop! The broth is so flavorful, the egg was perfectly soft boiled. The ramen was one of the best I have had. I also added smoked pork to my ramen which I honestly didn't need but was still ok, a bit dry. I did not like the pickle plate but my husband on the other hand liked it so it just depends if you like strongly pickled vegetables. This is a stop you can't miss! read more

Welp there is oil all over my car seats because they put the food into the container too hot and it melted everything. I'm not okay with eating food that has melted plastic in it. I had to pull over and throw it away because it was getting everywhere. Sad day for me! Check your bags for leakage before you leave I guess read more

Unfortunately we're pretty hard to please when it comes to ramen- we've been a little spoiled eating the ramen from Japan and Toronto. That being said- the noodles here are decent (especially when you're craving it and not willing to drive min. 3 hours to go get some). We've definitely been here a few times. The only downside is it's not cheap eats...so we only come when we have a big craving. My favorite thing here is their calamansi & Yuzu juice. It's a little on the sweet side- but I just get an extra glass and voila- more bang for my buck! To be fair- it's the best asian noodle place I've had so far in the area. It's a decent place and it's yummy enough for me to write a review. read more

This place is good however it is overpriced in my opinion. I've only tried the spicy tori ramen without protein but it's nothing extraordinary. read more

I ordered the chicken pho and it was just okay in my opinion (the plating was beautiful though). I'd never had pho before so it just might not be my thing. I had gone with my friends and they ordered the ramen and all loved their food so if I get a chance I would love to go again and try something else from their menu. The staff were also super sweet and helpful. I felt welcomed and had a great time eating in! read more

I have been avoiding dining out since Covid hit, but goooood grief are my taste buds and I bored! I ordered carryout, arrived, and did contact-less pick up. Everyone inside has masks on. The diners on the patio were the most well-spaced of anywhere I've seen, and they were brought their meals by restaurant staff who were wearing masks. This should be common sense these days, but it tragically is not. After some out-and-about anxiety had been eased by my experience here, I went to another popular restaurant in the area the following week. I didn't feel good about anything there (crowded patio of mask-free crazies and abundant indoor seating that didn't appear generously spaced). I should have just ordered from Ima, again. Thanks for the delicious dinner, thanks for the feeling of security, and I promise to be back to hang out and order a fiscally irresponsible amount of add-ons when the world reopens. read more

Food is very good. I wish that they still had curb service. I do not want to walk in any restaurant right now.

Pretty mid. Food is ok. It's overpriced for the quality and flavor. Nothing special to be honest. Not really authentic. It's definitely fusion style. You can tell that it's catered to a specific category of customers as soon as you enter the restaurant. There's nothing wrong with that, but maybe don't come here if you're looking for something authentic. Service is order at the counter and they'll bring it out to your table (I like this concept). This place is just okay. read more

Great vegan pho, love the edamame, oh and I love the blueberry custard dessert. Awesome place

Good food. This branch offer more food choices than the one in Detroit. Plus the parking is not a problem. read more

I came here for the first time with one of my friends who loves coming here. The smell when you walk in will make your mouth water! She highly recommended the spicy tori ramen with sesame chicken, which I was a little skeptical of because I wasn't too familiar with all the ingredients in it. BUT, let me say it was a life changer! The flavors were so bold and savory; it definitely exceeded my expectations. The portions are also massive! I got 2 meals out of my one bowl. On top of that the customer service was phenomenal. The employees there are so friendly. Every one of them made sure to say said bye as we were heading out, making the experience 5 star! Will surely be back to try more! read more

The place looks great. The food came out quick. The we servers are nice. The broth for the ramen was bland. The soft eggs that came with the noodles was cold. The water was left out on the table making it hot when u refill. The BBQ eel was good. I would not come back personally, too expensive for the food. read more

Idk this place was pretty but didn't feel authentic. There's a lot of food, don't get me wrong. They don't skimp there but it didn't taste great. We had the ramen and the udon didn't have a great broth.probably wouldnt go back here again Oh and the wait was awful too. We didn't get a server, then they switched. Literally sat there for about 20 min. Underwhelming would be an understatement read more

First time having ramen and ima was the place to try it!! I ordered the spicy tori ramen with chicken and the flavor was incredible. I could live in the broth and next time I will order extra! Excited to try other things on the menu. Only negative is the chairs are not very comfortable, and the high top bar space is very narrow. read more

Great service, always get my food quick and it's tasty every time, the vibe is also nice

I prefer this location to the downtown one. Not exactly sure why, I just do. Food is always on point, never been disappointed.

Love this location more than midtown. Yaki Butter Udon with ginger beef is amazing and a good starter dish for someone who doesn't know what the want or has a pickier palette. Always super fast and good quality. read more

Delicious! Ima in madison heights has a fast casual vibe, where you order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. This restaurant won detroit restaurant of the year, and it's obvious why! The food is delicious, affordable ($15 a plate), and they have so many options. Vegans rejoice! Theres tons of vegan options, and they're all so so good. My favorite is the forest udon. The mushroom flavor is to die for. They are also good and making other options vegan. They will always serve a vegan broth on request. Highly recommend this place! read more

Super fast takeout - I called and the server was so accommodating to my tight schedule. I also asked for an ingredient sub and was able to be taken care of quickly. The takeout was packaged so well, and the broth was still warm when we sat down to eat. I ordered 2 spicy tori ramens with chicken and a forest udon for myself -- so delicious!!! This is my second time coming and I would definitely come again for the udon. The ramens were well received too! Great service - even if a bit on the pricier side, I would go here again for a nice treat. read more

Wonderful ramen and flavors! Quick service! Packed up leftovers and shared them with my Dad who is now a loyal patron!

EVERYTHING HERE IS AMAZING! I love and have frequented their corktown location and was so excited to see that they opened another in madison heights! read more

What happened to this place? They just can't get any order right. We just got the exact same wrong order delivered to our house twice. Twice. And it wasn't a delivery problem. Because the name was correct on the bag. There is something very wrong with their order system right now. Apparently you just have to go in person until they figure it out. read more
