    I tried the Magu Magu

    It was amazing, the food was great and I tried 2 sushi types, it was the magu magu and something else it was a two piece sushi but it was perfect pretty sure it was the first one on this white menu they gave me and it was a white fish thing anyways, food was great. I really love how helpful the staff was she was nice and easy going, the food was fast to come out and it was a delight.

    Just an update - we go here all the time and the consistency, quality and service is unbelievable. Truly some of the best fish I've ever eaten.

    First time here though I've tried before and it's good. I got the spicy chicken platter which comes with a side and miso.

    Been dining here for a few years. The sushi has always been good. I personally think they're the best sushi in Ypsilanti. They are under new management now and the food is still wonderful. Annie is an amazing server. She's very polite and personable.

    New owners! Super sweet couple and amazing food. The quality of fish was top tier and definitely worth it. The nigiri/sashimi are gonna hit every time. They currently have cold noodle specials, we had the Himuro cold udon and it was surprisingly amazing. Try out their new menu items that incorporate their high quality fish. Their tempura icecream is a must get.

    There is aglitch if you order from grub hub. Make sure you are going by the name of the roll and what you'd eclectic to be in it instead of the description. The sushi was good. I wish there was more meat to the eel roll. My partner really enjoys the katsu. It's a healthy size serving.

    Sashimi dinner!

    If you're looking for something truly special, you'll find it here at Dabu. Under its new management, the restaurant offers a wonderful ambiance--perfect for enjoying an authentic lunch or dinner. The menu is filled with a wide variety of delicious dishes, each crafted with care. The service is absolutely outstanding, making the experience all the more enjoyable. I can't wait to return soon!

    The service is amazing and the food is phenomenal!!! All the rolls we tried were delicious and we also tried a cold noodle bowl that was so neat!! Annie was our server and she was super polite and friendly. We have been here twice and will definitely be regulars here.

    Overall, the sushi quality was pretty good, but there were some misses and the price is pretty expensive for sushi in the area. My friend and I came here for dinner and shared an appetizer and a few sushi rolls and here were our thoughts: YAKITORI - 9.95 The chicken could have been a bit more grilled. It was cook thoroughly and wasn't dry, but could have more of that "charred" taste to it. Teriyaki sauce was underwhelming and boring and sat on a small plate of vegetables that wasn't very appetizing. I would not recommend this. SALMON ROLL - 5.95 I've never seen sushi presented in this way - each piece was shaped like a teardrop. It was interesting, but too much rice per piece, which made it hard to taste the fish. YELLOWTAIL & SCALLION ROLL - 8.95 I really liked this. The amount of scallions was perfect and the yellowtail was delicious. Expensive for a regular sushi roll, but at least it was good! KING SALMON ROLL - 13.95 I love the spicy heat in each and every bite. Good amount of salmon, cucumber made it nice and crunchy. I'd recommend this roll since it was pretty tasty.

    My family keeps on asking how I found this place, since we are not from around here, and I really…read moredo not know. Social media? Yelp? Not sure, but I was excited to come here and try the food. It was a thousand out of ten. We ordered so much, the server was in shock, but we reassured her we were taking most home. I also feel like I should comment on food waste. I am the leftover queen, and this amount of food supplied ten portions (meals) for us over time and was completely finished. I saw they had two locations, but I decided to try the Ypsilanti location. The people working here were very friendly and helpful. I basically ordered half of the appetizer section since there was so much delicious choices to try. I had the sticky rice shumai, roti with curry, spicy wantons, pan fried pork buns, chicken egg rolls, crispy pork lion roll, and Korean wings (not pictured since I got an additional carry-out for my kid). We also ordered Dan Dan noodles , pad Thai, and sesame chicken. The food was all so delicious. The Dan Dan noodles were the best I have had in a long time. I love that it was not too spicy, the egg was a great addition, and I do like cilantro. The sesame chicken was huge and so crispy. I liked the pad Thai, but my husband was a bit disappointed and felt it needed a little more spice or flavor. The portions were huge, which is how we got so many meals out of the food. I loved the spicy oil on the wantons. The pan fried bus were amazing, fluffy with a slight crisp. the Korean wings had a great flavor and I liked the shumai a lot. I love how chewy the roti was, the sauce could have been thicker, but I enjoyed the curry. Everything was so good, I am not sure what I liked the most. It was an adorable place with huge portions and good prices. I really hope to stop back in again, and yes, I will probably order a ton again to enjoy there as well as at home.

    Yotsuba has been my go-to Japanese restaurant ever since I moved back to Ann Arbor in 2004; it was…read morealso my parents' go-to Japanese restaurant... we've been loyal customers for a long time. There have been some hit-or-misses with the quality of the fish but, I'm Japanese and, for me, "Japanese cuisine" is a lot more than raw fish and their kitchen (as opposed to the sushi bar) has always been reliable. Not so much anymore. :( I had dinner there recently on a Friday night. Ordered the tempura appetizer and 8-9 pieces of sushi a la carte. I asked the waitperson to make sure there was grated daikon for the tempura (I've had to ask before and the tempura was cold by the time they brought it, so I was planning ahead...) I was informed that not only do they not serve it with tempura, there's simply no daikon anywhere in the restaurant to grate. Seriously? First, how does a Japanese restaurant not have any daikon?? Second, if you serve tempura, this is a necessary condiment; it's akin to not having ketchup for a burger. I opted to have fried oysters instead and they were fine. The nigiri sushi I was served *looked* beautiful. Huge pieces of fish, nicely arranged. I'm not sure why Japanese restaurants here think "bigger is better" when it comes to sushi. Nigiri sushi is intended to be eaten in ONE comfortable bite instead of having to try to bite it in half only to have it disintegrate awkwardly all over the table. Why not offer two nigiri pieces per order that's reasonably (and correctly) sized? And then there's the sushi rice. I'm not convinced that the sushi chefs there understand that what makes it "sushi" isn't the fish (or the fancy rolls) -- it's the rice. Sushi rice is supposed to be flavored, while it's steaming hot, with a sugar-vinegar-salt mixture ("sushi su"), which is what keeps the rice moist and sticky in order to keep its shape, and also provide a foil for the fish. Whenever a sushi piece falls apart, it usually means (other than the fact that it's too big) that it's not properly seasoned. It should also never be cold. My simple meal plus a serving of sake, with tip came to almost $100. That's not unreasonably high for a Japanese sushi meal but I think I should be able to count on it being made correctly.

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.

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.
