Johnny's Noodle King
2601 W. Fort Street
Detroit, MI
309-7946
Johnny's Noodle King is located in the southeastern edge of Detroit's Corktown about 2 blocks from the Ambassador Bridge. This establishment has been open since September 2014 and is about 1/4 mile away from the Green Dot Stables. In fact, the Green Dot Stable and Johnny's Noodle King are owned by the same individual and the menu is developed by the GDS's chef.
I recently visited the JNK for lunch with a co-worker who is a foodie extraordinaire. Located in the industrial area of Corktown and across the street from the old Greyhound Bus terminal, Johnny's has a brightly painted exterior with a large bowl & chopstick sign which contrasts with the nearby gray and beige buildings. One would be hard pressed to bypass this establishment. Inside its decor features recycled building materials and modern industrial accents which is overall well done.
Johnny's menu features several noodle and soup based dishes. Although the dishes are Ramen style, there are unique combinations featuring flavors and cuisine from around the world. In addition, JNK offers Japanese beers, ales and sake as well as their own 'Johnny's Smoking Gun' whiskey locally produced in Corktown by Two James Distillery.
My co-worker sampled the Tom Yum and I ordered the Southwest. We were both impressed with our choices. The broth, noodles and combination of meat and vegtables provided an enjoyable and filling meal. The service was friendly and efficient. A word of warning for those with dexterity limits, the dishes are served with chop sticks and asian style soup spoons. I imagine they have forks if requested.
The Corktown area of Detroit is my favorite area of Detroit and with the addition of Johnny's Noodle King, it offers a large variety of great food choices at reasonable prices.
