Hotaru - Japanese restaurant in Novi - 39723 Grand River Ave, USA

I got the spicy seafood ramen it was phenomenal and I will definitely be back. I was scared when I saw $16 seafood ramen, but let me tell you the shrimp,mussels, and scallops were so fresh! Like fresher than some seafood restaurants I’ve been to. I highly recommend this place and excited to try more.

Best Ramen ever, we drive a whole hour to eat good authentic noodles. Prices went up a little thanks to the pandemic but still worth it. We have tried many places before this one is the best. The Chef and the waitresses are amazing! Desserts are a must as well. The seafood ramen (Nagasaki ramen) is the one you need to order along with the Squid Karage! My toddler loves the pork Katsu! We drive a whole hour for this and we will continue to.

Had the takoyaki and the demi glazed chicken katsu lunch. Food was flavorful and yummy! Heads up: there is no sushi offered here. I originally came because I saw someone posted a sushi menu, but they’ve never offered sushi here! Do come for the hospitality and the food though! Staff were courteous and nice! Make sure to come before the lunch rush as they do get very busy and seatings are limited since it is a small and quaint place!

The udon and ramen are the really good here. The rice dish was pretty good. The service was excellent. Everyone was very nice and attentive. They have a small dining room, but they service people pretty quickly so that was nice. I would return here for udon or katsu. Spring rolls were delicious.

Best ramen and katsu in the novi area! Come here regularly, staff is always polite and food is always delicious. Really recommend the Ton Ton Ramen and the Demi glace katsu

I want to give this place a 4.2 stars the tonkatsu ramen was super delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was amazing. It's kid friendly but also date friendly. It's one those hole in the wall spots you grab a bite to eat and head on your adventure. I do recommend trying this place out. The green tea was bland but the ramen was not 🤟✌️💯 the ginger dressing was super delicious and the karaage was subpare and just reminded me of fried chicken... I would stop here again but just for the ramen 🍜

Hi find this place just by chance because I had to do a quick dinner on Monday and was a really good surprise. I have got a simple shrimps tempura Ramen and was simple and good the noodles were cook excellent and the broth was very tasty I really liked that . Price is resalable and the service was very quick and good . Maybe the environment not so special but was really clean and I like their kitchen open and I think new ... Very good place . I would like to comeback with little more time to taste different food and give them the 5th star ..

This restaurant is our family’s favorite, we eat here once a week. Food is delicious and service is the best. My daughters love the udon and all appetizers. To me, the pork katsu is the best in Metro Detroit area. Highly recommended!
