This place is so nice! We got lucky and it was the only place open on Thanksgiving after the movies. Not only was it very clean with a good aesthetic, but the employees were super friendly. The food was 10/10. One of the best soy Ramen I’ve had. We were brought our hot tea in this cute pot!

What a great find. Searched for a good restaurant and had a great rating. Looked at the menu and was instantly sold on their chicken katsu curry. It did not disappoint. Additional stuff I tired were the spam rice ball. Delicious. Fried oysters. Amazing. And the seaweed salad. Super good. The curry was great and the chili sauce on the table worked perfectly with the dish. I am not a huge spice guy and more but i kept adding that spice. Definitely coming back again.

Also sitting in the parking lot writing this because I couldn’t leave without giving them the recognition they deserve. My daughter and I got the Japanese chashu broth ramen and it was outstanding! The broth was so flavorful and paired well with the pork I got and the chicken my daughter got. My favorite part though was the hot ginger tea!! It was so good I had to get one to go!! We are not from Michigan, but we would come back just for Zhen!
