  Have some time to kill so eating here right now. I found this on Yelp while looking for something cheap to eat near St. Clair College.
  
  Let's start out saying wow, prices are so low! This is a great place for a broke student to eat. Since I'm eating alone to kill time and I have nothing better to do I'll review everything I get while I eat.
  
  Miso soup: on point. This is hard to mess up... But it's a good start to my meal.
  
  Salad in ginger dressing: this comes with every entree. Just plain iceberg lettuce with dressing. I've never had anything like this dressing but it was delicious and a great appetizer.
  
  Jerry's special: pretty good. A stir fry with chicken and beef. I got a lot bigger a portion than I expected given the price. A lot more chicken than beef unfortunately, especially since the beef tastes so good! Seems like a basic cabbage, onion, mushroom, and zucchini (didn't realize Japanese food used zucchini) stir fry on top of fried rice. Overall very satisfied.
  
  Special sauce: I was given some special homemade sauce to put on my entree. It looks like mayo gone bad. Getting past the funny yellowish look this sauce is awesome! Not sure what it tastes like but it is a great addition to my food.
  
  Salad again: same as the first one but I just wanted more! Plus it's only $1.50 for a side salad, who can beat that price! I'm not sure what it is about this simple salad that tastes so good but the watery lettuce goes well with the salty stir fry.
  
  Overall I am extremely happy to have found this place. I'll definitely be bringing my girl friend here soon for a cheap date!

  This place is so simply good... the miso soup is $1.78... and it's absolute comfort and flavour.   In my opinion the best miso in the Windsor area.. I would even put up against Detroit.  The seaweed is almost Al-Dente.  Perfect balance of salt and bean curd.  Hot but not scalding.  Jerry the cook /owner is constantly working his grill tops. No flaming volcano here!  Every order made fresh.  You can see all sauces are made in house.  The ginger dressing on simple salad.  The spicy marinade for the Jerry special mix of beef and chicken.  Never disappointed always full.

  Love the Jerry Special and the dumplings. Reasonably priced and quick.

  It's a small, unassuming place that makes some really tasty meals.
  Try the Jerry's Special .. really good.
  My wife likes the shrimp dinner and my vegan daughter likes the tofu dinner.
  
  UPDATE
  Unfortunately, I'm lowering my rating based on my last visit for take-out.
  My order took an extra 30 minutes on top of the 20 minutes they estimated over the phone, and was cold when I finally got it.
  They made no effort to make up for it beyond a half-hearted "sorry for the wait".
  The only reason I give them even 2 stars is because the food was still good when I reheated it at home.
  I doubt they'll get my business in the future.

  Now this is where you go to get a good stir fry! Agree with the other person who commented, one of my favorite places to eat in LaSalle.
  
  The delicious food and amazing service should be more than enough to make anyone fall in love with the place. But then you get the bill and you're like: "What?! You're really charging me that little?!" Oftentimes, my tip is half the price of what I paid to eat there.
  
  The Jerry's Special with some siracha is, pretty well, Heaven. Extremely Well-Priced Heaven And it is so wonderfully healthy, too. It's not often that something so good for you tastes so great, too.
  
  The owner seems to live behind the counter and yet always greets you with a happy smile as you walk in. The wait-staff is extremely friendly. I've seen them actually waiting for your order to be completed and then, immediately, bringing it over to you. You can't ask for prompter service than that! My glass is never less than half-full before I'm being offered a re-fill. Even the person that rings you through at the end is so kind and polite that it knocks you over.
  
  The place seems pretty busy any time I go in there with both sit-down and take-out service. But, you know what? It should be even busier! This is a place everyone should make a regular stop for. Particularly if you're trying to stay healthy but still want something with flavor.
  
  It's a bit hard to spot because of where it's located in the plaza. But it's more than worth searching for.
  
  Eat here. That's all I can really say. You won't find a more delicious, good-for-you and affordable stir fry in the area.
