    Dak Bokum
    Marques M.

    So for reference, I'm Japanese and Korean, and I cook both cuisines at home for my family, and I needed something that reminded me of the Dak Bulgogi I made recently. Well I went here with some friends and was quite puzzled. The seasoning for this "Korean" dish tasted extremely Japanese. Korean dishes tend to have a different seasoning to appeal to Korean tastes, and I was hit with a lot of Japanese chicken vibes. I will say the price was affordable and the portion was appropriate. But if your looking for Korean food, go venture somewhere else, like Seoul BBQ. Biwako is Japanese

    Solid value. We had dinner for two. Good service, good fare and large selection. No wait. Fast service, and tasty. Consider something from "All Time Favorites" on page-7 of menu. The apps are good too. The noise was not too much. The energy was lively for Monday night. The carry out is what pays the bills--they run a brisk business.

    Very diverse roll choices.

    For a few years, I came here every weekend. It's a cute little place in an unassuming strip mall. Although Godaiko is my current favorite, this place has many positive attributes. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, even the owner. All orders come with free miso soup and salad with a choice of dressing. They are the perfect size as appetizers. Their rolls are extensive and very aesthetically pleasing, some of them Are absolute works of art. My favorite rolls were often the specials, the eagle, white Tiger and Marilyn Monroe. I will return when I'm in the area again.

    I was so excited to learn Saline was getting a sushi restaurant! Ann Arbor is certainly filled with sushi options and it's great to have another one in our neighboring community. Overall the rolls & miso we ordered were good! Our biggest qualm with this order is the rice was on the dry side which made the roll fall apart as you picked it up. A small complaint but the plastic leaf in all of our boxes is not needed, it didn't add anything to our dishes & is a waste of single use plastic. On the bright side, all of the ingredients (minus the rice) were fresh and tasty. We had salmon, tuna & crab, all delightful; the rolls were stuffed as well. It's unfortunate I can't award more stars but rice is the main component here and it's so easily done, I'm not sure if it was a busy day or what happened. We might give them another try in the future!

    Great Miso.

    Everything is amazing. Always. My adult kids love the selection of sushi and I could drink the ginger dressing by the bucket fulls.

    Did I miss the golden age of this restaurant according to reviews? Not sure, but we really enjoyed…read moreour time here on our visit. I saw so many people posting about this place on Insta and decided to come out and see if it was worth the hype. It was very worth the hype, the food was absolutely delicious! Due to wanting to try everything, as always, I ordered tons and way too much and ended up with several boxes, bags, and meals. I had a couple drinks, I think they were the x-rated passion and the pear sakitini. They were good, very floral. We started with their soup and salad, which were standard and good. We had so much salad, I did box it up for a couple more meals. Then we tried the crispy chicken buns. They were so good. Since I had so much to eat, we each got one, and it took me two days to finish mine. The chicken was crispy, and I like how the bun was fluffy but also a bit crispy on the outside. We also tried their iconic tuna nachos. The chips were really good. I would have loved a wanton chip instead, as other places do it, but the tuna was so buttery. It was almost as good as the tuna in Hawaii and French Polynesia. I liked to roe and avocado, which was also so creamy. We had a couple sushi rolls. We got the spider roll. It was so crispy and very well make, and the California roll with the kani salad and avocado, no cucumber, which perfect since child hates cucumbers and normally picks them out. It was very fresh and delicious. We also tried their wagyu burger and fries. I personally cannot tell the difference between types of beef, but it was an extremely flavorful, well-cooked burger. We split it in three, and it took a few days to finish my portion. The real star from that meal was the tempura French fries, they were so good and crispy, and very unique. Those are really a must order. We also tried the teriyaki chicken and broccoli. We recently had some very mediocre teriyaki chicken, and I was afraid it was going to taste like that looking at the dish, but it was not. It was so well cooked and flavorful and so was the veg, don't judge a meal on it's looks. It was worth ordering again. But the real, real reason why I was here was for their famous flying lobster noodles. That was really worth the drive. Their noodles were smokey and flavorful, and a large portion it took several meals and three people to finish it. I liked the addition of shrimp with the lobster and it was not fishy, so those of us who do not eat fish could still enjoy the noodles. That is something I would order every time. Funny, I did not realize both of their children were on Food Network, but I did watch those shows at the time. I hear the noodles were in honor of the daughter's show, so thanks for allowing us to taste your amazing looking dish. On the other hand, the service was really only fair. I read other reviews and while the servers were good, they did not really seem to want to engage with us verbally or talk to us. They were very lukewarm at best, even though the rest of their service was great. They were attentive, but not friendly. I do want to come back and order it all over again and then some, so I hope to return soon. This was a really fun place.

    My husband and I were very excited to try these pushpops. It's such a great idea! However, this…read moregreat idea needs some tweaks... First, my overall impression of Godaiko is it seems like a nice place. The decor is pretty and the vibe seemed to be very chill. I am curious about how good the regular fare is. The sushi pushpops are only available to-go, and can only be ordered at a kiosk that is set up just inside the door - you almost walk into it. Thankfully my husband and I arrived a bit early, because a line quickly formed behind us that went out the door. The price is decent, considering you are getting a full sushi roll that is very filling. The flavor options are limited to five (5), and only one does not have egg product: three have mayo and Caesar Salad has egg in the dressing. For people who are allergic to eggs - like me - this is really not cool. My husband ordered the Spicy Tuna and the Fire Shrimp (the one I originally wanted). To my despair, my only option was the Philly Philly roll, which I hate. But because we drove 45 minutes to try the sushi pushpops, no way was I not going to get one! I have to admit that the seasoning on the rice gave a good flavor to the Philly Philly roll, so it wasn't complete torture... My husband enjoyed his rolls very much. The soy sauce comes in a narrow tube that doubles as the stick used to push up the sushi. It clips to the side of the carton. One has to be careful when pulling this out of the clip, because for some reason the tube opens at both ends and if you are a little heavy-handed you can end up with sauce on your pants! The Good: Innovative product that sets it apart from its competitors. Taste is good, and the packaging makes this easy to eat on the go. What Needs Improvement: 1). Put an allergy notification/warning about the egg; especially since it is not listed in the ingredients. Thankfully, my intuition told me to ask before I ordered.... 2). Add more flavors; especially egg-free options! A nice shrimp tempura or unagi roll would be good.... Or .. give the option to custom-make the roll so that the mayo can be omitted, giving those who are allergic to egg a chance to enjoy. . Perhaps allow the custom order to be made at the bar so as not to tie up the kiosk. 3). Maybe move the kiosk away from the door so that you're not walking right into it. On a busy day/night, I can see that line being a big annoyance for the customers coming to dine in. 4). Seal one end of the sauce tube. Not sure why both ends need to be opened. 5). Offer more sauce options (we were only given Soy).... 6). Label the tubes! Since the rolls are premade, and not labeled, the risk is high of mixing up the flavors - especially when it's busy. A discreet little label on the bottom of the tube would be fine. All-in-all, getting the sushi pushpops was a fun and novel experience. However, because of the limited flavor options that are heavily mayo'ed, I am rating this experience 3 stars.

Ever since COVID19 they began takeout only service and allow no dine-in option any longer. This place was full of mostly Japanese locals here for lunches and there was a line out the door everyday. Now, not so. They realized with covid and the change in model that they could survive but have been much too lazy to revert back to a traditional restaurant. Why? I have not idea but as you can tell from my writing, I am not pleased. The prices, quality and service were all top notch at one time. Now? Not so much. I really dont want "traditional" or "authentic" food served to me in a styrofoam container that I need to eat in my car or other location. Very, very disappointed with the ownership and their decision to run their restaurant this way. I will not return.
