Went there for lunch and was seated pretty quickly. We ordered DFFC miso ramen and Hakata Tonkotsu ramen and the pink lady roll. The food was good. The north of the ramen was tasty but we waited a long long time for the food to come out. The size of the bowl is not that big for $20 a bowl. read more

This place just isn't my style. and imo it's just overrated and overpriced. But if you're into trendy and "cool" and mediocre food, go for it. The wait is so so long and not really worth it. Plenty of other awesome restaurants in the area read more

We were visiting Ann Arbor for one day, a few weeks ago and some friends of ours took us to this restaurant because they offer gluten-free options. They actually have a gluten-free menu which made me happy. Our group ordered sushi from the gluten-free menu and I got the red curry ramen minus the mushroom medley. It was really good! I'm always happy when restaurants offer gluten-free options and they taste good. This one did not disappoint. It's been a couple of weeks so the sensory details have faded, but I remember that I enjoyed it. I would definitely return. read more

I came here for the first time and I loved it! The waitresses were very kind, refilling water often! The TVs weren't too loud. I got the tonkatsu ramen & I would go back for it! It was so good! The poke bowl was also delicious! However, pretty expensive tbh. Definitely good for a special occasion! But loved it! Will be returning read more

The server was excellent. The atmosphere is perfect. I had the chicken stir-fry. It was amazing!!!!!!!!

Recommended by Japanese coworkers because they said it is authentic place for ramen. It is a real deal. Noodle is made in house so is the broth. This type of quality and flavor is rare to find. Noddle is al dente, but not rubbery like the one you buy from the store. Because they are fresh. Soup you can drink the whole bowl if you want. I also had the fried chicken appetizer because the ramen is not very big serving. Fried chicken is ok pairing with their dipping sauce. Even though it is marinated, there are other places that had better fried chicken. read more

AMAZING FOOD! Came here on a Friday evening. Unfortunately, we had a long wait (45-60 mins). But because we got to follow our place in line, we went around the corner for a drink. The wait ended up being about 30 mins because large parties had left and some didn't want to stay & wait. But let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. Sushi. Ramen. And more! They even have gluten free menu!! You can tell they use fresh ingredients. Highly recommend the red curry ramen bowl (the only GF option for ramen) and the avocado salmon roll. The drink options were great too! Atmosphere is casual. Parking is either street or garage. The staff was very informative and helpful. They looked like they wanted to be at work, also. It makes for a better experience when the employees are happy to be there. The only thing I would suggest (why I didn't give 5 stars) is allow reservations. The long wait turned a lot of people away and the entrance is quite small to stand around & wait. read more

My only regret was not dining in person. I DoorDashed after not enjoying my meal from White Castle. Traveling for work is not fun because you work during the day then you rush back to the hotel to do your normal work - and I had to study. Anyway. Saw great reviews and decided on ramen to wash down the dry taste in my mouth from White Castle's fries and chicken rings. Everyone must order their DFFC (duck fat fried chicken) Miso Ramen. It is spicy yet flavorful and not overwhelming. The buttered corn and the kimchi paired so well with the broth. It was so tasty that I was a little bit sad when I finished the meal. This is the first place that included napkins and utensils (or maybe I asked for it) because the many times I have DoorDashed to my hotel in the past when I'm here, utensils and napkins are never included. Oh, everyone must also order their red bean cream puffs. It is creamy, smooth, dense yet light, and not overly sweet whatsoever. It was heavenly. I only ordered 1 but should have ordered more. I think I may have to come back here before I fly back home, but this time I will drive to the restaurant. read more

A little wait time on frigid Saturday evening but well worth it! We enjoyed our entrees thoroughly. The ramen was spot on delicious and the poke roll sushi was some of the best I've had lately. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

We visited on a Friday evening before seeing a show at Michigan Theater. We weren't able to get a reservation beforehand, but the wait for two people was only about 20 minutes. The tables were arranged in more of a communal-style layout, with long high-top tables across the restaurant. Once seated, I ordered a pork belly bao bun, and the hakata tonkotsu ramen. Both were good! I'd recommend coming here read more

This is my favorite ramen place in Michigan. They have great flavor and a big menu selection. Employees are nice and the vibe is nice inside. If you're in Ann Arbor you have to come here. Try the takoyaki.. and dffc noodles read more

Is 10 stars an option? We stopped in after a movie at the theatre. We had the tofu bowl and shrimp stir fry. Like, so freaking good!! Our service was perfect, since we were late we wanted to be cognizant of the closing kitchen but we weren't rushed at all. The place has lots of seating, but it still felt very intimate. Loved it! read more

This was my first time visiting Ann Arbor, and I wanted a warm cozy dinner to keep me warm in the snowy weather. I saw that Slurping Turtle had lots of great reviews for their ramen, so I had to try it out. I ordered the classic Tokyo shoyo and thought it was decent. Personally, I thought the broth was a little too bland, the pork was tough, and the egg wasn't very flavorful. The noodles themselves were delicious but overall the ramen was average in my opinion. It was also a bit overpriced for the quality. Overall it was a decent experience because the staff were so friendly but I'm not sure I'd call this the best ramen I've ever had. Maybe I just need to order something else next time! read more

Updating to say it's still amazing. The ramen are all rich and flavorful but my favorite is the Tonkatsu. Their rotating specials and desserts keep things fresh while their staples stay high quality. Their made in house noodles shine and you can buy them to cook at home too. read more

I recently ordered DoorDash again from ST and it was out of this world. This place is amazing. I feel ashamed to say I've never had a bao bun before and ST was able to remedy that! I got a shrimp tempura bao bun (I love the undressed slaw and the ginger sauce was delicious with it!!!), gyoza (good, but not the best in A2), and the cream puff (surprisingly yummy!). The desert puff had a great texture and it was delicious. I am a huge fan of a slight crisp gyoza and these were steamed, but still good. I can't wait to keep trying more of the menu. I've never been disappointed ordering here so far! read more

A fantastic ramen spot in downtown AA! We stopped in on a busy Saturday afternoon looking for some ramen. The wait wasn't too long and the service was very quick considering how packed it was. I got a Red Curry Ramen- delicious! My friends got ramen and a poke bowl and both enjoyed their meal. We also got a spicy salmon roll as an appetizer- so good! Our server did a great job, our water was always full and we didn't wait long. The prices are a little high but it makes sense for AA. The interior was well decorated. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Absolutely phenomenal! What took me so long to try this place?I came with the crew and thoroughly enjoyed all the baos, slurps and raspberry berets and turtle island cocktails. Dave's were: classic Tokyo Shoyu Ramen, Amari yuzu ship ramen and DFFC ramen. Mia and Brenden took excellent are if us. The decor is very cool and modern. They made excellent use of the smaller space., and even have additional seating in the lower level. I'll return to try the whole menu and desserts. read more

I've been a fan of Sleeping Turtle since they opened in Ann Arbor a decade ago! I think I might've actually been familiar with the original Chicago location first, which is where I lived before moving to Ann Arbor... about a decade ago :). Less traditional and more of a stylized ramen experience, my fave is the Tan Tan Men Ramen. The kind of spicy that is very light for those who eat spicy and approachable for those who don't! Super savory and rich broth, and delicious house made chewy noodles. I always add a molten egg which they always get perfect. Good amount of tender pork. It looks small (and I believe has gotten much smaller over the years), but super filling. The Duck Fat Fried Chicken, Baos, and Sushi Rolls are great for sharing starters as well. I'll always get at least one. Good comfort food in sophisticated digs. Versatile, good for dates, meals with friends, family, etc. Definitely on the pricier side but always tasty and filling. read more

We had the Roasted Chicken Tonkatsu Ramen which had an excellent broth. Probably the best ramen broth I've ever had. It was very well seasoned and could be a soup on its own. The noodles are house made and taste extremely fresh and are well made. It paired perfectly with the broth. My only complaint would be the chicken was not very well seasoned. If they add some seasoning besides salt to the chicken it would take this ramen dish to the best I've ever had. Overall exquisite dish and I'd highly recommend. The staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable read more

slurping turtle in ann arbor is sooo yummy. the pork belly and shrimp tempura bao are unreal so soft, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. i could honestly eat a whole tray of them. their miso soup is best hands down, it's always packed full of tofu and seaweed i also love the california poké donburi bowl, and getting it with both rice and greens is the move. it's super fresh, super satisfying, and the portion is always generous. every bite is just so good. the vibes are great, the service is quick, and everything is fresh and delicious. if you're in ann arbor go to slurping turtle it is absolutely worth the stop. i'm already thinking about my next visit! read more

I was visiting Michigan and was recommended to try this place by a friend. I didn't have the highest expectations because I haven't had any exceptional ramen spots since moving to the East Coast, but I was so impressed with the food and quality! The overall restaurant is super modern and pretty. I got the DFFC Miso and my friend got the Tonkotsu. Both were so good and the soft-boiled egg is perfect. The service was also so amazing, as the servers will make sure to togo your leftovers carefully by separating the noodles from the soup. I highly recommend trying this place and will definitely be coming again. read more

The Slurping Turtle is an amazing ramen spot located on Liberty in Ann Arbor, close to State Street. We went for lunch and were completely blown away by the flavorful dishes. So yummy! We started with some cocktails. I ordered the Calpico Mule- good to the last drop! The delicate bao was a perfect start (the vegetable being my favorite.) The crunchy octopus fritters are a must! The red curry ramen was an explosion of flavors- probably the best ramen ever. The server was on point. She was attentive, suggestive, and super friendly. The slurping turtle was perfect for our girls lunch! I can't wait to go back. Give it a try, it'll be your new fav also! read more

Exceptional everything! We went during a very busy weekend (two times...) and although they were slammed (and on a wait), they offered excellent service, food was incredible, and obviously we came back twice in two days, so that says something. Favorites were the duck fat fried chicken app and the sashimi/sushi. The fish is incredibly fresh and worth every penny. I haven't been able to stop thinking about our meals! read more

Slurping Turtle is hands down our favorite spot in Ann Arbor! No matter how many times we come, we always order the same thing because it's just that good--the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl for me and the Tan Tan Men for my husband. It is one of our comfort foods! We always get a duck fat fried chicken for our app (and sometimes to go)!! This place has become our go-to for date nights, double dates, and special occasions. It never disappoints. The food is fresh and flavorful, the service is always fantastic, and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. Even during busy times, the wait is 100% worth it. If you're looking for amazing ramen, poke, and an all-around incredible dining experience, Slurping Turtle is the place to be. We'll keep coming back again and again! read more

We were told this was one of the best places to get ramen in town. We weren't disappointed. We had gotten tickets the day before for a movie at the State theatre for 6:30, so getting there at 5:25, we were hoping there would be enough time. It wasn't. It took a while to get our orders in. We felt really bad that we had to ask for our check early, but because it took nearly til 6:00 to get our entree ordered, we really needed to pay quickly. Luckily the food was good. We wanted to try a bao (it's award winning) and some sashimi. Our waiter recommended just getting the sashimi plate versus getting individual pieces (the small has 9 pieces for $20 while a la carte, each piece is $5). This was a great recommendation. I had the classic Tokyo shoyu ramen, and the BF had the curry ramen with a molten egg added. The bao came with a little carrot ginger and Napa cabbage salad. It was really good! The bao itself was pretty good, but it's not the best I've had. The sashimi had thick cuts of hamachi (yellowtail), tuna, and salmon. It was pretty great and a good deal. My ramen was delicious. The Naruto fish cakes were sliced very thin, if that is your jam. I personally like a thicker slice. The pork belly was perfect, and I was shocked by how many slices they give you. The molten egg was perfectly jammy. I'm not sure I caught the nori, but the bowl was very good, considering we had gotten many bowls of ramen in Tokyo this year and the bowl here was comparable. The curry ramen had some disparate items but were really tasty altogether. The broth was the real star of the show. I had to knock a star off because they actually never gave him the egg he added on. We just were in way too much of a hurry to let them know. Also, about 1/2 way through the meal, the waiter realized he never got us water. Again, we weren't upset, because we had a show to get to. Anyways, we'd come back and try another bowl, next time we are in town. read more

The food was pretty good, but I've definitely had better ramen before. Parking is alittle hard in downtown Ann Arbor so just keep that in mind. This is also a favorite of students so it gets very crowded. Ambiance was very cute though like a typical Japanese style restaurant with a sushi bar and wooden tables. Service was fast. read more

6-4-2025 We came here with our son after a movie at the State theater. What a fun place with absolutely delicious ramen. The crowd was diverse and it was fun to visit and people watch. Thanks to Travis for excellent service! read more

Been here once and probably won't go back. To preface-the food is not bad it just is very mediocre, overpriced, and there is better in the area. The service is good, however, the restaurant is typically pretty busy so it does slow down the process. The poke bowl is good but just average, same for the rolls and primarily all the dishes. I don't have anything major as nothing stood out to me in a bad or good way. I would choose Totoro, mama satto, or any poke bowl place over slurping turtle. Save your money, this isn't worth it. read more
