Our son who is gluten-free was able to enjoy some gluten-free noodles on his bowl as well. We were surprised to learn that it is not part of a chain as it was.

Normally authentic Ramen not…read moreclose to a major city(NYC, Boston, San Fran) would be a major red flag but Michigan in general is quite diverse and to be honest, has not failed me yet. Sapporo is not about to break that trend! Right off the bat, the vibe is chill and the staff is welcoming. I go for the Takoyaki and Hakata modern. The Takoyaki is absolutely delicious. Wonderful balance of texture and salt vs sweet. Easily top 3 I've had. On to the ramen....which I was ready to be super hyper critical on. Hakata modern features Tonkotsu pork broth, chashu, ajitsuke tamago, menma, beansprouts, garlic oil, umami dama, and scallions. Final verdict? The broth is rich and flavorful, and there is plenty of it! The ramen egg is a tab bit overdone and the chasu can be a little more tender but who am I kidding? It's pretty damn good! The best part of all? Sapporo sits at a very reasonable price point while not compromising on high quality. All in all, very much worth a trip while in the area. Sapporo slides right into my go to lineup :-)

Also stir fry noddles, buns and wings. Menu is very diverse and they look good and taste good. Noodles bowl you pick your own ingredients. It can be pricey if you all more main ingredients like beef or mushrooms. Yes they charge like $3 for mushrooms. Their soup seems like they make their own and not premade somewhere or heavy on msg. You can actually drink. One of the reason it is more pricey then your typical Japanese restaurant. It is one of the best restaurant if not the best in this little town.

I ordered the spicy miso ramen and I didn't expect much, I thought it would be a plain simple noodles in miso broth. When I got the dish it was an appealing presentation of noodles submerged in miso broth with seaweed, bamboo, tofu and bok choy and scallions. It tasted pretty good, definitely exceeded my expectations, it had a depth of flavor I didn't expect and it was truly a delight along with a side of vegan dumplings was a nice compliment to the dish. I was pleasantly surprised and will frequent this place again. Awesome!

Such a cool spot!…read more We visited Toba on a recent Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised by this cute little spot! The menu is lengthy with so many options to choose from! We were a little overwhelmed by the choices at first, but we quickly decided to try several different things to get a better idea of the flavors and what we might like best! We started with a house salad, which was so delicious! Fresh, yummy ingredients with a truly delightful ginger dressing! Hugh flavor! Next we ordered the Gyoza - this dish was AMAZING! The dumplings were perfectly cooked and served with a delicious traditional dipping sauce. Also included was a garnish slaw with a spicy mayo dressing - this complimented the dish SO well. This dish was honestly our favorite part of our entire visit and we highly recommend!! Of course we had to try a sushi burrito which is possibly their most unique offering! I've never heard of sushi in a burrito form before Toba, what a great idea!! It's basically a giant, handheld, wrapped up piece of sushi! We chose the Toba Burrito with steamed shrimp, shrimp tempura, spicy crab salad, avocado, tempura flakes, eel sauce, and spicy mayo. This was a delicious combination! Because it's in a burrito the ingredients are thicker compared to sushi, and you can taste each addition better, but my husband and I both agreed that while this was a very fun item to try, we prefer the regular sushi rolls to the burrito. Smaller bites of each combo of flavors is our preference. :) We also got a K-zoo sushi roll which was delicious but not as chilled as I expected it to be. These pieces were large, (bigger than a one bite piece of sushi) but packed with quality, fresh ingredients with really great flavors!! My husband and I both ordered a cup of tea, both were delicious and perfect for a cloudy, rainy day!! There are several options to choose from, we asked our waiter for further explanation and recommendations. :) There are so many more options to try at Toba - we will definitely be back to try more things, the ramen for one! :) The service at Toba was excellent! Our server was very attentive and helpful! Our order arrived very quickly and in perfect stages since we tried so many different things! The atmosphere is modern and seating is consolidated to a fairly small area. We were seated in the cutest front booth, right in the window. Best seat in the house, I'd say! Kalamazoo is beaming with great foodie spots! Toba is a great addition to the downtown scene!! :)

The only negative is the egg, which isn't molten like other ramen spots. It could've been cooked more and at least cut in half to let it absorb the broth. I got the miso ramen with the fire in the bowl. Get this - the best part wasn't the ramen, it's the bao buns. I got the soft shell crab one which was actually perfect. Seaweed salad hit the spot too.

That was confusing until someone noticed we weren't getting take out and told us to sit. The QR code was on menu and table so i actually thought for 10 min that we didn't have an actual server and that was the only to order. Front and back door both are used. I am curious in the dead of winter if it's remotely warm inside. The regular sushi set was $22 and comes with soup or salad. A pretty good price . Would have liked a hot tea option. It hits all the points for what we tried . Takoyaki were breaded nice and a good single size. 3.5 for ambiance 4.5 for the sushi we tried, Would go again knowing it's causal or get takeout.
