The only negative is the egg, which isn't molten like other ramen spots. It could've been cooked more and at least cut in half to let it absorb the broth. I got the miso ramen with the fire in the bowl. Get this - the best part wasn't the ramen, it's the bao buns. I got the soft shell crab one which was actually perfect. Seaweed salad hit the spot too.

However, I was not a big fan of the food, which is what my rating entirely is going off of. The okonomi fries are tasty and worth trying. The mall chicken, however, is a sodium bomb and is essentially ketchup with a hint of extra sugar that I just didn't like. I guess it's my fault for buying rice and chicken at a ramen spot, but you give the ramen a try and post it here!

The teriyaki chicken and rice, it's a life changing experience listen. The teriyaki chicken here is…read morenot your average "fast-casual" chicken. This is premium chicken. The chicken itself is ridiculously tender. We're talking butter-level tenderness. The teriyaki glaze? It's a sweet, salty, perfect harmony of flavor that you could literally eat with a spoon if you were feeling bold. I don't know how they did it, but the sauce sticks to the chicken in this magical way that makes you wonder why other places even bother. And let's talk about the rice for a second. I swear, this rice has been blessed by some higher power. It's soft, fluffy, and just sticky enough to hold onto that sauce without falling apart. You could eat it plain, and it would still be better than most other restaurant rice. Together, the chicken and rice form a duo so powerful, I feel like I need to write a love letter to them. I've eaten teriyaki chicken before, but this was next-level. I feel like I've been lied to all my life by other restaurants. My bar for chicken has officially been raised to a height I didn't even know was possible. The language berries is truly just a spiritual journey , here's the thing: the staff at Yum Japan doesn't speak much English. And honestly, that only adds to the charm. I'll admit, I walked in all confident, ready to order in English like a normal human being. Then the staff looked at me, a little confused. I panicked for a second, but then I thought, "Wait a minute... this is fine. This is how I know I'm getting something real." I smiled awkwardly, pointed at the menu, and hoped for the best. The server nodded and said something in a language I couldn't comprehend, but honestly, I wasn't worried. At this point, I knew I was in good hands. It wasn't that bad, though. It's just the kind of place where you can get away with saying very little and pointing to the dish you want. I think the universal language of "point and eat" is all you need to communicate here. If there was a misunderstanding, I'm pretty sure it was just a happy accident, because I got exactly what I wanted, and it was amazing. The vibe inside is unpretentious, which is exactly what you want when you're here for the food. It's not fancy. It's not trendy. It's just a few tables, a no-nonsense staff, and a menu that gets straight to the point. There's no need for loud décor or minimalist chairs. You're here for the chicken, and everything else is secondary. There's something oddly comforting about it, though. I couldn't tell you if it's the cozy, humble ambiance or the fact that you're pretty much guaranteed to get your food fast. Either way, the restaurant doesn't try to impress you with anything other than what really matters: the food. To wrap it up, Yum Japan is the place to go when you want to eat food that's actually good. No pretensions, no gimmicks--just really well-executed teriyaki chicken and rice that will make you wonder how you ever lived without it. I honestly didn't even care that we barely spoke the same language because I felt like, at the end of the day, the food was doing all the talking. So if you're in the mood for a meal that will change the way you think about chicken, get yourself to Yum Japan. The teriyaki chicken will haunt your dreams (in the best possible way), and you'll leave with a full belly and a smile on your face, wondering why you didn't discover this place sooner.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!…read more They double charged me for my single meal and refused to refund the charge or honor the extra food and tried to play dumb despite reciepts showing otherwise.

The prices are good as well. Their house salad dressing is good - not too much ginger. Ask for extra wasabi... they'll give you the fresh stuff which is a million times more potent than the usual blobs. The inside is cuter than you'd expect for a strip mall restaurant. It doesn't ever seem to have a lot of dine in traffic which worries me because if Mikado closes I'll be devastated.

Normally authentic Ramen not…read moreclose to a major city(NYC, Boston, San Fran) would be a major red flag but Michigan in general is quite diverse and to be honest, has not failed me yet. Sapporo is not about to break that trend! Right off the bat, the vibe is chill and the staff is welcoming. I go for the Takoyaki and Hakata modern. The Takoyaki is absolutely delicious. Wonderful balance of texture and salt vs sweet. Easily top 3 I've had. On to the ramen....which I was ready to be super hyper critical on. Hakata modern features Tonkotsu pork broth, chashu, ajitsuke tamago, menma, beansprouts, garlic oil, umami dama, and scallions. Final verdict? The broth is rich and flavorful, and there is plenty of it! The ramen egg is a tab bit overdone and the chasu can be a little more tender but who am I kidding? It's pretty damn good! The best part of all? Sapporo sits at a very reasonable price point while not compromising on high quality. All in all, very much worth a trip while in the area. Sapporo slides right into my go to lineup :-)

I am a bit biased because I usually order tokontsu but I wanted to try something new today. Next the sushi is wrapped correctly it doesn't fall apart when you pick it up.
