I had been visiting Matsu-Chan a few times a year since 2009 when I was a university student in the…read moreJapanese [language] minor program and a lot of my classmates would also frequent. After graduating my girlfriend [now wife] and I would make it a point to try and eat at Matsu-Chan when in the area, even after our first kiddo, and eventually our second. Last year before one of our trips to the area my wife let me know that they were under new management and when I looked at the new menu, I was saddened that all of my favorite items were no longer present, and it seemed that my beloved little slice of Japan was now "just" a ramen shop. While my wife loves and can handle ramen and the broth, I would typically get the different rice bowls, or other entrees because while I love me some good ramen it doesn't work out well for me with the hour or so trip to the area. We'd get some rolls, takoyaki, and other appetizers to share around the table before digging into our main entrees. With the increased prices, and fewer options, I will end up going to any of the multitude of places [Aji-ten is usually our #2] to get my kick. I'll miss the little shop and the times I've had, like perusing the manga while waiting for a table. I wish the old owners the best, and the new management as well, especially if it was a familial transfer, but Matsu-Chan is not for me anymore. My wife will eventually get up there and let me know how it is, but for now, I'm just happy that a little bento shop opened near my workplace run by two first gen transplants, so I can at least get my fix without the drive.

My friend arrived first and grabbed the last available table during a busy lunch rush. I am…read moregrateful I did not have to wait since I tend to get hangry. Others following us added their names to the waitlist. The restaurant is small with just a handful of tables. One chef, it appears, prepared all the meals. I barely glanced at the menu; I already knew I was having the ramen. The only question was which one. My friend selected the eel bowl while I had the miso pork soup. The latter was served with sliced pork, bamboo shoots, fish cake, and seaweed. The broth was full of flavor; I enjoyed every slurp. I appreciated that the meal was sizeable and inexpensive - I was able to stretch it to two meals. We did not linger given the number of people waiting.

Ajishin is not for you. They serve uncomplicated but delicious fares like Kitayama, Kyomizu, Chirashi, curry rice and grilled fish. They are open till 2 for lunch and mostly takeout. And are open 5-8:30 for dinner. The lunch special is amazing. Especially on a cold day. A generous serving of delicious Hot Udon accompanied by a daily roll. All for 9 bucks.

Ever since COVID19 they began takeout only service and allow no dine-in option any longer. This place was full of mostly Japanese locals here for lunches and there was a line out the door everyday. Now, not so. They realized with covid and the change in model that they could survive but have been much too lazy to revert back to a traditional restaurant. Why? I have not idea but as you can tell from my writing, I am not pleased. The prices, quality and service were all top notch at one time. Now? Not so much. I really dont want "traditional" or "authentic" food served to me in a styrofoam container that I need to eat in my car or other location. Very, very disappointed with the ownership and their decision to run their restaurant this way. I will not return.

I think I found my new favorite Japanese restaurant in Michigan…read more This little gem is tucked away at a corner of a strip mall. Aptly decorated with Japanese theme with cozy and warm seating arrangements, we were absolutely blown away by their fast service and refreshing Nigiri's and delicious appetizers. I went on a dinner date with no reservations. Luckily there was no waiting list so we got seated quickly. We started with some drinks, spicy garlic edamame, and Gyozas! Next we got the Spinach salad thing with couple of Nigiri's. Of all the items the edamame was the only item we didn't care for as it was a little bit on the sweeter side. Man the seared Macarel and Tuna Nigiri was too good. It just melted in our mouth. Trust me the seafood was FRESH. No joke! The spinach salad thing was a refreshing item something we had never had before. It tasted like some type of Kimchi with easy on fermentation! The service was fast and welcoming! Our server the young lad took really good care of us. Took his time to explain the menu and help us! Definitely going back again. There's no reason why we wouldn't. I would highly recommend y'all to give them a shot. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

I commend the chef and the waitress in multi tasking and running this little shop of theirs. They're not trying to make it trendy, or fancy, or fusion of any sorts. They're doing what they love and they're doing their best! And sometimes it's worth the credit that is deserved. Majority of them speak fluent Japanese and a bit of English. They have great combo deals that will please your palette. A bit over whelming at first but got the hang of it in reading their menus on the walls. We ordered the hamburger combo which has that sweetness to it. Karage (Japanese fried chicken), spaghetti, rice, and usually a croquette but was subbed in with a pork katsu which was a plus! We also ordered their tofu udon, a full size pork katsu, fried squid, and Tekka Don. Everything was simply great. Granted there was no wow factor but overall I was satisfied. I will definitely come back again to try out their other dishes. But would be great if they find more people to help out. If you speak Japanese/English they're looking! Just fyi! From what I saw on their window! :)
