SuperCrisp is a laid-back spot where you can savor crispy karaage chicken, vegan delights, and bold hot dogs—all with a fun Japanese twist.
"Chef Mike Ransom’s Ima already has a stronghold on the udon, pho, and ramen game around. Now with the addition of SuperCrisp, which sits next to Ima’s Midtown location, Ransom has a scaled-down, fast-casual option. The eatery features a selection of halal-friendly meals in a bun, including burgers, chicken sandwiches, and over-the-top hot dogs, as well as other snacks — all going for $12 or less." - Danny Palumbo, Serena Maria Daniels
"From chef Mike Ransom and the team behind Ima comes this restaurant, which opened in January to much fanfare. Hot dogs and salads are popular here, but the karaage fried sandwiches run just $12 and come with twice-fried chicken or tofu and Kewpie slaw, with vegan brioche buns, to boot." - Eater Staff, Brenna Houck
"Since then, Ransom has opened the fast-casual, halal-friendly SuperCrisp at 4830 Cass Avenue (on the same block as Ima’s Midtown location) that focuses on karaage-style fried chicken sandwiches, burgers, dogs, and fries." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Craving some Ima but don’t have enough time during lunch break to savor a big bowl of udon? Restaurateur Mike Ransom recently opened a fast-casual spot featuring Ima’s popular karaage fried sandwiches (available in chicken, fish, and tofu-form), halal wagyu beef burgers, hot dogs, loaded fries, salads, and other snacks. Top it off with a yuzu strawberry lemonade and then get back to work." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Known for spicy karaage chicken and tofu sandwiches." - Serena Maria Daniels
