First time eating here . I must say the experience was quite nice . The staff is very friendly. This is a location all all kinds of occasions. The portions are big and the prices are fair . The atmosphere is friendly for all ages . I will definitely be back
Very delicious food!Totally recommend everything we tried: pho, ramen, udon, broccolini…Roasted tofu is just perfect.Every plate is extremely big, we couldn’t even finish. Tasting and seasoning it’s really good.Service was nice and waiters were kind.Totally recommended.Spent about $23 per person.
The food and the drinks were so good, my partner said it was the best pork they've ever had. I got there hibiscus punch and it was delicious. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be back
Ima does make a good broth. Their food have some American twist to it but it is still good. My Japanese friend likes it and it is much better than your typical Japanese restaurant that soup tastes like it is from a packet.The problem is that udon and ramen is food for commoners and regular families back in Japan. $15 for a basic bowl with toppings and if you add proteins that's another couple dollars, total price is pretty expensive for a meal.
Excellent ramen and drinks (try the Mars cocktail!), and although our spicy chicken karaage was overcooked it was still pretty tasty. The broccolini was underwhelming, sadly.
This was a pretty chill ramen shop. They had lots of options including vegan and vegetarian items. I like there list of cocktails and sakes. I had there house sake and a Sapporo. I also recommend there spicy ramen with roasted pork it was super flavor full. This is a chill place to take kids or a hot date. It's not to overly priced ether.
Really loved the ambience in this place. Food came in pretty quick. Absolutely loved the karaghi chicken! It has a great taste and spices to it. Definitely a must try. The price is pretty decent.
I got the Spicy Tiro? Ramen with a glass of Kirin Ichiban beer. Price was $23 (without tip). ??Nobody came around to take my order after I was seated so I had to go back to the cashier and order from the front -- I don't know if this is how it's supposed to be but it seemed off. I got my food within 5-8 mins after that.Food: bland tasting for gourmet ramen, and the portion felt a little small for the price. I felt the bowl was too crowded with ingredients too, but perhaps that's nitpicky.Bottom line: the ramen looks nice but tastes average, and it's priced too high for what it is. I'd skip this spot unless you're already in the area.
Disclaimer : before criticize this restaurant I'd like to point out that I have a relatively higher (or just different) standard about ramen than most of the American population would have. I have traveled to Japan several times and tasted many of renowned ramen restaurants in Tokyo, Hokkaido, and Fukuoka. Therefore my criticism is gonna be my very honest review about the foods I experienced from this place but soley based on the standard that surely is different from what average Detroit population would have.Firstly I was very impressed by their improvisation of Japanese noodle culture, and how well the chef understands of umami taste. However I really should point out that the broth is using too much of dashi (possibly dried anchovy broth or seaweed broth or both) for their ramen noodle soup. Dashi components are amazing sources of umami yet when it's too much it's gonna overlap other flavours and eventually ruin the whole balance. For instance, I ordered tori paitan (literally means chicken broth white soup) but the whole soup was very overwhelmed by the smell and flavor from dashi. Even another noodle ordered by my wife had same overwhelming dashi taste. I am not American (but a legal alien) and I don't know what kind of taste an average American person would expect from Japanese noodle restaurants, but I can tell the noodles I had are not even close to what they are supposed to be, and that could've been the reason why this place wasn't populated with east Asian people. Tori paitan should taste more like tori paitan.Second thing I want to point out is the cubed meats. Of course there is no correct answer for foods, and I believe this place had their own reason to cut those meats into cubic shape. But Japanese ramens are usually topped with thin slice of meats and one of the reason is thin slice of meat can mingle a lot better with noodles and broth than a cubic one. I guess American people never slurp and that is the one of the reason they don't really care about mingling of meat, broth, and noodles, but you guys should really try slurping when it comes to Japanese noodles! They are not spaghetti :DChicken Karaage was good!Nevertheless, I was very impressed to try some sort of Americanized ramen noodles in detroit. Nice try!
First time experience. PAY FOR PARKING. I was there for 20 minutes before getting a ticket. I was still trying to figure out what mattered on the menu. I went right before closing and free parking started in 45 mins. Thought I would be good.Anyway the food was great. I’m glad I got a chance to try it. The warm sake was very interesting. Felt like a warm shot of tequila. The ramen bowl was bussin. Atmosphere is good but the service was a little slow. Oh and the music. Yes great taste in tunes for a week day night.
