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.

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.

Their DFFC Ramen is my favorite ramen to order! It's got this rich umami flavor and I love the kimchi and fried chicken additions. Also a huge fan of their Tiger Roll and I love their Calpico Chuhai drink!

The food was delicious! I loved the sound of cooking in the background as well! The service wasn't the fastest but we went at a very busy time, and it gave us time to talk and decide what we'd like to eat. Overall everything made the night amazing.

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!

Fast, friendly service. Nice sit-down area. Easy to grab a meal in between classes if you're on the run. Tried one of the ramen meant items and will come back to explore more.

Solid dining experience. The sushi was really good but the stir fry left a little to be desired. Sake overpriced, not worth the spend. Service was fine but nothing to rave about. Nice place overall, loved the anime wall.

Im obsessed with the ramen here! I like that they can cater to your dietary restrictions. I'll order vegan, gluten free. The ramen has ingredients I've never even heard of let alone seen in other ramen restaurants. I always order the red curry ramen which consists of "mushroom medley, fried eggplant, pea shoots, potato & kabocha chips, carrots, scallions, coconut-lemongrass cream, chili oil." You can't get ramen like this anywhere else. They offer other options like sushi, bao buns and stir fry. I stick with the ramen though. It's award winning and they've hosted ramen battles with the proceeds going to charity. The service has always been quick and great. The interior is industrial chic yet it's warm and cozy, frequently busy, with fun music like hip hop, rap, playing in the background. They have communal seating and booths.
