Michigan's Favorite Japanese Ramen | Ginza Ramen | Delicious
đ First Impressions: Nostalgic Decor with a Modern Twist The second I saw the ramen and tonkatsu models by the door, my mind flashed to Torranceâs cozy spotsâthis kind of detailed, inviting display is so rare in Michigan, and it immediately felt familiar. Inside, itâs like a âmodernized family workshopâ: warm, casual, and not too fancyâperfect for post-golf, post-work, or just plain hungry days. No stuffy vibes here, just good food in a welcoming space. âď¸ 5-Star Must-Tries: Ramen That Saves Cold Days & Tonkatsu That Crunches These dishes are why Ginza Ramen beats most spots in the areaâflavor, comfort, and that âhomeyâ feel: Pork Santouka Ramen: đ A winter lifesaver! Weâd just spent 4 hours freezing on a golf course (18 holes in the windâbrutal!), and this bowl of thick, rich broth was pure relief. The soup is hearty but not as salty as Shiromaruâs, with depth that carries the whole dish. The tender pork belly melts in your mouth, and every slurp warms you from the inside out. Total comfort in a bowl. Tonkatsu (Fried Pork Cutlet): đˇ Crispier than any other tonkatsu in the area! Itâs crunchy, juicy, and packed with savory flavorâno soggy coating, just that perfect âsnapâ when you bite into it. Troy friends, you no longer have to drive to Novi for good tonkatsuâthis spot has you covered. Vegetable Ramen: 𼏠For non-meat eaters, this is a winner! Loaded with fresh veggies and a warm, flavorful broth, itâs just as comforting as the meat versions. Perfect for cold Michigan days when you want something light but satisfying. đ° Value: Great Food Without the Price Tag We ordered 3 dishes and only spent ~$40 totalâtotal steal for the quality! Itâs affordable enough for a casual weeknight meal, and youâll leave full (no âpost-ramen hungerâ here). Plus, itâs way more budget-friendly than spots like Ima or Shiromaru, while being just as tasty (if not better!). đ Final Verdict: Better Than Ima & ShiromaruâNext Stop: Shun! Ginza Ramen has quickly become my go-to for Japanese comfort food in Michigan. Itâs nostalgic for anyone who knows LAâs Torrance scene, and itâs a game-changer for locals tired of mediocre ramen. I havenât tried Shun yet (thatâs next on the list!), but for now, Ginza Ramen is top of my list. If youâre (starving) or just craving something warm, this is the spot. #Michigan #UniversityOfMichiganAnnArbor #MichiganLife #MichiganWeekend #MichiganFood #RochesterHillsEats #JapaneseRamen #Tonkatsu #MichiganFoodReview
