Ima’s spicy karaage fried chicken sandwich is hot stuff.

The bird’s the word

By Tom Perkins

There are few chefs in metro Detroit’s Japanese restaurants who can send out bowls that stand up to what Ima chef-owner Mike Ransom prepares in his kitchens.

While eating the crispy fried-chicken don — one of the new bowls at Ima’s recently opened location across from Wayne State — I pondered why that is. In the dish, Ransom mixes meticulously made spicy karaage chicken thigh, house pickles, napa cabbage slaw, furikake kewpie, lemon, chili threads, pickled ginger, scallions, and nori above sushi rice. The bowl is busy with contrasting and complementing ƪavors and brightened with citrus and acids, but it’s seamless and smooth — not chaotic. And that’s partly it. It’s hard to think of a clumsy dish in Ransom’s repertoire, and you see that sort of polish across Ima’s menu.

At the new location (Ima’s third, following the original in Corktown and a second in Madison Heights), there’s room in the kitchen for a deep fryer, so ansom offers plenty of new territory to check out. The karaage seems to be the main attraction. Ima marinates its boneless, skinless chicken in a tamarigarlic-ginger-citrus mix for about 48 hours, dusts it with two types of glutenfree starch, and deep-fries it twice to give it a thick, crispy crag. The citrusy marinade shines through. In the spicy version, Ransom also dips the bird in a house-made chili oil made with habanero, chipotle, ghost pepper, and other chilis. It’s as hot as it sounds, but pleasantly so.

Aside from the rice bowl, the karaage comes in sandwich form. The chicken arrives on a soft and slightly sweet bun with napa cabbage slaw and furikake kewpie — a Japanese mayo — and lemon and house pickles on the side.

TOM PERKINS

Vegetarians can substitute tofu, and many of Ima’s plates are or can be made vegetarian or gluten-free.

Ransom says he planned to include karaage on his menu at Ima’s other locations, but limited space in his Corktown and Madison Heights kitchens prevented that. The sandwich works especially well here in that it offers students a hand-held carryout option. And the students seem to be into the new restaurant — during a recent lunch rush, I felt pretty certain that I was Ima’s oldest diner, and I’m only 41. Most of the dishes from Ima’s other locations’ menus are also here, and some familiar items are plated in new contexts. That includes the bright spicy tuna typically found on Ima’s spicy tuna don; in the Cass Corridor, it’s also offered in appetizer form. The dish holds a big dollop of ground ahi, fish roe, masago, kewpie, togarashi, sriracha, and sesame that arrives with fresh veggies, and chips made from thin slices of taro, a tropical root vegetable.

Also new is a selection of yaki udon. The Szechuan yaki holds thick, somewhat chewy wheat noodles in a gritty, punchy XO sauce with fermented black beans, soybeans, chili peppers, onions, garlic, citrus, and more. Also in the mix are a hint of mouth-numbing Szechuan peppercorns, baby corn, and punches of umami in the spongy black mushroom. Ransom recommends ordering the dish with the glazed pork belly. My nose didn’t run until the end, and I prefer it to be ƪowing after a couple bites of Szechuan cuisine. Several days prior, I had dined at Trizest, Madison Heights’ awesome Szechuan restaurant, which packs in enough peppercorns and chili peppers that the competing sensations are disorienting. It’d be great to see Ima’s Szechuan yaki pushed to that level.

The pan-fried yaki butter udon may be familiar to diners from Ima’s previous posts. Its noodles come in a somewhat thick and heavy butter-sesame sauce with furikake and nutritional yeast that sticks to your ribs nicely during the cold weather. That’s accompanied by beech mushrooms, crispy garlic, and shallots. The menu also holds a fine teriǦyaki udon, its sauce made with plenty of ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and citrus to highlight the sweetness. Sauteed ginger and garlic are added to the noodles before the sauce, and the package is finished with more sesame seeds.

The new bo ssam lettuce wraps consist of big folds of crunchy green lettuce that package a mix of kimchi, shiso, and scallion along with your choice of protein. ȋThe ginger beef fits well.Ȍ It’s served with a ginger-black garlic glaze of soy, brown sugar, black garlic, and sesame, and the two packages are a nice, light start to a meal. The chiliblack vinegar sauce with black vinegar, soy, sesame, and garlic makes the shrimp and scallion dumplings worth it just for the dipping.

For dessert, the Cass Corridor location offers several soyǦbased, vegan, soft-serve options. The menu is rounded out with an extensive beverage list that includes everything from Topo Chico and Mexican Coke to various teas and coffees to mocktails the chameleon with ume plum puree, lemon, simple syrup, and soda. The full-service bar with a selection of beer, sake, and cocktails is up and running after an initial delay on the liquor license.

What’s Going On A week’s worth of things to do and places to do them

FRIDAY, 2/28

Sunset Boulevard @ Redford Theatre

FILM You’re in a safe space, folks. With scar season behind us, it’s finally  to admit that we might have a pretty eštensive list of classic, mustǦsee films that we just haven’t made time for, because, well, sometimes it’s just easier to re-watch Frasier for the ͝,000th time. nyway, we finally have an opportunity to cross one of the most inƪuential films of all time off of our listǣ illy ilder’s ͥ͝͡0 merican noir classic, Sunset Boulevard. The film stars illliam Holden, who plays a struggling screenwriter, and Gloria Swanson as orma esmond, a silentǦfilm star fighting to regain her renowned place in the spotlight. ot only did the film win three of ͝͝ cademy wards it was up for, but it’s been recogniœed by the .S. ibrary of ongress for its cultural significance, and its blurring of fantasy and reality may have even served as a weird, indirect blueprint for the life of eccentric director Tommy iseau, who gave the world, ironically, the best worst movie of all time, The Room. — Jerilyn Jordan

Screening begins at 8 p.m.; 17360 Lahser Rd., Detroit; 313-537-2560; redfordtheatre.com. Tickets are $5.

Sturgill Simpson @ Masonic

MUSIC Here at Metro Times we admittedly gloss over most country acts unless it’s, say, illie, Shania, or literally any combination of the išie hicks. However, thanks to last year’s rock ’n’ rollǦsteeped Sound & Fury, Sturgill Simpson is oƥcially an ešception to our rock ’n’ rule. If we’re being honest, we lowkey caught some feels from the entuckyǦ bred singerǦsongwriter’s ͞0͢͝ epic A Sailor’s Guide to Earth, which earned him a Grammy for best country album. The ͤ͟ǦyearǦold is also an actor and can be seen in the upcoming violenceǦheavy political satire ƪick The Hunt, where he plays a character named id ock, who is, from our understanding, not at all inspired by the disgraced metro etroit rapǦrocker id ock. However, it’s pretty damn funny if you consider the film is about some liberal elitists who go after MGǦloving middle merica. Sounds like some good fodder for a country tune, if you ask us. ȋ un factǣ Haœel Park’s own obby mmett, who produced Sturgill’s last two albums, is on keys.Ȍ —Jerilyn Jordan

Kamasi Washington @ Saint Andrew’s Hall

MUSIC The last time amasi ashington passed through etroit was last summer, when he teamed up with 7ͥǦyearǦ old, ͝͠Ǧtime GrammyǦwinning jaœœ virtuoso Herbie Hancock, who has more than ͠0 studio records under his belt and just as many years on ashington. ut the ͤ͟ǦyearǦold os ngeles native and celebrated sašophonist, who has often been referred to as a torchbearer, can stand wholly on his own. ashington is ushering in a new era of jaœœ, one in which the confines of tradition are bent, warped, and manipulated into atmospheric, transportive soundscapes. It’s been a long two years since ashington released his sophomore P, Heaven and Earth, and a followǦup P, The Choice, and even longer since his ͞0͝͡ debut, The Epic, which earned ashington the merican Music Priœe, but thankfully we have his catalog, as well as a hefty playlist of collaborations with the likes of un the ewels, haka han, and endrick amar. —Jerilyn Jordan

Destroyer with Eleanor Friedberger @ Deluxx Fluxx

MUSIC In a review for Have We Met, estroyer’s ͟͝th studio record released in anuary, Pitchfork claimed that if you “spend enough time listening to estroyer and the world will start to resemble a an ejar song.” If this is true, the world is then an observational diary scrawled on bar napkins with an old lover’s lipstick, hurtling through outer space ȋif outer space were designed by filmmaker Michel Gondry.Ȍ ejar, who has fronted this avant indieǦrock project for ͞͡ years, might just have the strongest release of the decade so far, due in part to the fact that Have We Met has a deliberately crafted identity, which is more than can be said for, say, Tame Impala’s latest, The Slow Rush. estroyer will be joined by former iery urnaces vocalist leanor riedberger, who released her fourth record, Rebound, in ͞0ͤ͝. Since disbanding from her fellow urnace, brother Matthew riedberger, she’s dropped a few solo releases, but with Rebound, riedberger ešplores the complicated lament that comes with being a postǦ͞0͢͝ election ešpat living in Greece and ƪirts with a space between dancey avid yrneǦ style observations and selfǦinvestigation. —Jerilyn Jordan
