      Matsuchan is as authentic as you can get! It's owned by a very adorable family and the inside can only sear like 12 people. You can't miss the line of people waiting to get in either! I had corresponded with the business on their instagram and asked about vegetarian and vegan options and they sent me an entire list of things I could eat - UNREAL.

      I got some umeboshi onigiri which had the perfect amount of saltiness and deliciousness! I ordered their creamy vegetarian ramen and added and egg and the portion size was very generous.
      Be prepared to take a lot home!!
      10/10 would recommend and would come back!!

      A small mom-and-pop ramen shop.
      We came there around just before noon and already full of customers as they have very limited seating.
      if there are no seats , you have to sign your name and phone number on the waiting list and they will call you when it's ready.
      You can't wait inside of their restaurant.
      Prices are super reasonable and affordable. Menu is a consist of ramen and other Japanese comfort foods including curry , onigiri and stir fries and such.
      I tried Tonkotsu ramen , it had a lot of noodles than I expected it made me so full. But to me the soup tasted overpowering with garlic flavor so I think I wanna try regular shoyu ramen next time.
      Also I ordered gyoza and it tasted fresh with lots of minced veggies which reminded me of gyoza shop at my town in Japan. It was definitely handmade and not a frozen ones that I appreciated a lot.
      This is a nice spot for an affordable lunch for a family.

      I enjoy this restaurant.
      It is tucked into a corner of a strip mall.
      The restaurant is very casual.
      The owner has license plates from all over the world on a wall.
      The restaurant itself is homey.
      The soup is incredible.
      It is a mom-and-pop shop.
      Give it a try. I promise you will be back.

      Very cozy atmosphere. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and the restaurant was filled in seconds. The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable. My husband and I shared the hot & spicy ramen and the eel rice. Wish this restaurant was closer to us!

      This tiny little mom and pop Japanese restaurant is so good. It's a small hidden gem in a shopping center that looks really not noticeable. They have their own parking so that is easy. The tough part is getting a table. The seats are limited and there are not that many spots to choose from. It's super hot in there though, both from the hvac and sun light. So much direct sunlight comes in so it's alway like a sauna even in the winter. We selected the curry set and the udon with a side of rice ball. It was all super delicious. We ate it quickly and had to leave because it was so warm in there while eating hot food. The food is so good and quick, totally worth it.

      It's been a while since I've been back here because I moved out of the area but I'm glad this place is still there and the food is still great. Went there a little after they opened for lunch and they were already busy and full. Despite having to wait it was only for a short time. I tried the chicken and egg bowl this time and it was good! My mom tried the seafood udon and it was a huge portion.

      Have been a few times over the years. Small family run place with efficient no nonsense service. Just to say if you are the kind that expects being pandered to you aren't getting any. :)
      The ramen is good and hit the spot in Michigan winters. I usually get the Hot and Spicy but for lunch yesterday got the Champon. Very hearty the ramen was just right, big shrimp however the pork a bit overdone. But all in all very good. As you can see in the pic I added a bit of the togarashi spice.

      A small hidden gem that is family owned! Very limited seating and the inside has hole in the wall vibes. What it lacks in looks is made up in flavor. The service is fast and their prices are reasonable.

      A small, hole in the wall ramen restaurant run by an older couple. Not the absolute best ramen I've had, but I would still recommend it to anyone in the area. It's important you get their early because there's limited seating and the restaurant fills up very quickly.
