Sushi
Irene S.

Sushi & Sashimi were good. Cocktails were good. Service was friendly but on the slower side. They didn't seem to have enough people on the floor. I love the Las Vegas Roll

The sign on the interior

I've heard about this place for years and just had the chance to visit. There is parking in the back of the restaurant and I chose to park on the street directly in front of the establishment. When I walked in I was greeted by a hostess that was walking from the back and offered me the option to seat myself wherever I wanted. Eventually I decided to sit in the room near the bar. There are two rooms; one with a bar and then one overlooking the sushi prep area as it seems. I waited for my dining partner to arrive and was offered the menus to order a beverage.They advertise having killer craft cocktails and baby the "My little Pony" did not miss! It was a vodka based drink with muddled blackberries. It was AMAZING! Once my dining partner arrived we ordered sushi, miso soup and the salmon fried rice. The rolls were good; nicely presented and tasted fresh. The salmon was cooked to perfection for the salmon fried rice and was a very large portion. So large that I could eat it four additional times. The miso soup was one of the best. We were there on an early Saturday afternoon and they had football games streaming on the tvs at the bar. The decor was eccentric...almost like a country Asian vibe. Not quite what I was expecting but it made the place interesting. They also have an enclosed patio that I was offered an option to sit out there as well. But declined because it was a bit chilly outside in general. Though it looks like the outdoor patio may have been heated. I could believe this seating option is really needed because the place is not that large and seems like it could get quite busy. Our server was really sweet and attentive which always will elevate the experience. I recommend and will certainly visit again.

Las Vegas Roll, Shrimp Tempura & Philadelphia Roll

Always such a great experience! We come here weekly and LOVE it. The rolls are always so fresh & the cocktails are yummy. A nice atmosphere & service is always pretty good. Their happy hour is amazing as well!

Service was really good. The food was decent. I really wish I would've tried the fried rice. I might return just for that. Other than that, it's sushi. Super cute inside, cute patio.

Bluefin Roll

First time in the area, sat on the front patio which was really nice. I tried the bluefin roll which was really good. Overall was a nice place and I would for sure come back.

Music too loud to decompress. Very annoying. Limited bar with pricey cocktails. Only local place for sushi but not worth the aggravation

Okay food, but the price doesn't reflect the quality nor the quantity. The inside is nice but the margins dont add up

From the first step in, we could tell this would be amazing - the smell was mouthwatering. And it…read morecertainly lived up to that assumption, with knowledgeable staff and delicious food making sure we had a wonderful experience. We were lucky enough to be served by Elizabeth, who walked us through the entire menu and made sure we ordered to our tastes. 1000% recommend the shoyu ramen and the yakitori! A little on the expensive side, but well worth it.

In town for work and this was recommended for some great sushi…read more When you find the place, take the stairs down. I asked if the bar was available and the hostess said it was a 15-minute wait. I grabbed a menu to look at it and then the automated text said it would be 30 minutes now. I was just at the hostess stand and who I assumed was the manager saw me just waiting around. The hostess then checked if the table top bar area facing the kitchen is available. Different from the regular bar I guess. I was seated. It took 15 minutes before my server got to me to bring me water and take my order. Mind you, I was the only one seated facing the kitchen. The manager literally walked by me multiple times and no acknowledgment from him or for him to get his staff. I ordered the shishito peppers appetizer, tako-age small plate and the nigiri moriawase sushi plate. The tako-age came out first about 10 minutes later. This is just fried octopus chunks. The batter made it taste like it frozen and fried. 10 minutes later, the shishito peppers came. Scarfed these down in a minute. Nothing to rave about. I kid you not, another 20 minutes for the sushi to come out. Again, the manager just glanced at me and walked by since he was helping bring out plates to the main tables. And once the nigiri moriawase came out, I was very underwhelmed. The size of each nigiri for that high of a price point was baffling. Not to mention the quality of the fish was not good. I've had way better at all-you-can-eat spots. I will stand by that. It wasn't until the end when I wanted the bill, which took another 20 minutes. I legit thought my server went home. That was the only time he said he'd get me a refill of water. Uh, I'm done with my meal. That would have been helpful like 45 minutes ago. He then apologized he was slammed. Okay cool. I was the only one at the kitchen bar area. Service is terrible. Food is below mediocre.

Sharaku is easily one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Michigan, and after multiple visits,…read moreit continues to impress me. Having spent time exploring Japan and eating plenty of sushi there, this is probably the closest I've come in Michigan to recreating that experience. The focus is on traditional and straightforward: quality fish, careful preparation, and letting the ingredients speak for themselves rather than covering everything in sauces and toppings. The sushi and sashimi have been consistently excellent across my visits, and I especially appreciate that the menu goes well beyond the typical American sushi restaurant. There are plenty of traditional Japanese dishes and chef's-choice options, so it's a place where I'm always tempted to try something different. The atmosphere adds to the experience too. It has this intimate, neighborhood Japanese restaurant vibe that reminds me so much of stumbling upon a sushi spot in Kyoto. If you love traditional Japanese food and care more about quality and authenticity than elaborate specialty rolls, Sharaku is absolutely worth the trip. One of the best Japanese dining experiences I've found in Michigan, and a place I'll continue coming back to.

I'd probably go lower, if not for the friendly service. came here with my friend for his bday…read moredinner. Not sure how he became aware of this place, but here we were. AMBIANCE - the place seemed very cozy, with booths, a handful of tables and seating at the sushi bar. This place was JUMPING on a Tuesday. I'm actually glad I made reservations. Bunch of old Asian dudes working behind the sushi counter - place seemed legit. SERVICE - our server was very attentive and was helpful with recommendations. He was very patient as we had MANY questions about the menu, and what we should be getting. MENU - this place had a pretty extensive menu. The first page of the menu had their daily specials which seemed to be a pretty deep selection by itself. They had many of your standard Japanese fare, though their appetizer list seemed to be deeper than most. They also had a fair number of sushi combos, however, according to our server, those are all chef's choice, and said they tended to be more basic type rolls/fish. One thing that was unfortunate was that the sushi rolls did not have a description of what was included in them, so we had to get clarification on a few of the rolls we were interested in. FOOD - we decided to get a smattering of items. we started with the deep fried oysters, chicken karage, and some along with some fried scallops they had on special. The oysters were good, while the karage and scallops were just "ok." Good, but nothing to write home about. We also ordered a couple of rolls - we did the spider rolls (soft shell crab), a tempura shrimp roll, dragon roll, and two eel nigiri. The eel nigiri were excellent. The rolls while good.... left me wanting a bit. From the other reviews that I read, this place is good on quality, and less on the quality, and this was on full display with the rolls. Besides the nigiri, the rolls seemed light, especially our spider roll which was only 4 pieces (I dont think I've ever seen that before). Even the dragon roll seemed small. We probably could have just gotten more nigiri in lieu of dragon roll. OVERALL - while the food was good, for the price you pay, it does not seem worth it. Maybe if we had gotten more nigiri or chirashi, we could have appreciated it more, but this place was too far and too expensive for what it was. Maybe the lunch specials make it worth coming here, but this would not be anywhere on my list of places to go for sushi in the metro Detroit area. Celebrity Rating - Salt Bae

I came on my own, ordered $25 worth of sushi, and was reading a book. When I came in they were not crowded and there were plenty of open tables (early dinner time), but by the time I left it picked up. I ordered a single piece of uni appetizer, which was $10, and figured it would be a really high quality large piece. I was pretty disappointed at 3 small uni pieces laid across rice. I was hoping for one huge piece of uni for that price. But, the quality was very good! I also had a salmon and avocado roll and spicy tuna, and both of those were very good. The standout was the spicy tuna, made with chili oil I'm sure. Spicy but not unbearable spicy. I think they had real wasabi and actually my favorite thing I ate today was their pickled ginger! The ginger pieces are crisp with a fresh crunch that I haven't gotten from typical, limp sushi ginger. I asked for low sodium soy sauce when my sushi came out and waited at least 5 minutes before giving up and using the regular soy sauce... A couple minutes later the waitress finally brought the low sodium version, said nothing about it being lost or any other possible explanation for taking so long, said something like "Oh" when she saw I had used the regular one already. But, I also think she didn't speak English. When I was more than halfway done eating but obviously still eating, she brought over the bill. As I was still eating, she came by, picked it up, and opened it to check if my card was in it, I kid you not, 3 separate times, over the course of maybe 10 minutes. I had to ask for more water when it was already empty. One time she got more water, the other time she literally walked away as I was talking to her...but again, I don't think she was purposely ignoring me as much as she seemed afraid of me? She probably thought I was laughing at her but really I just laugh awkwardly as a defense mechanism in awkward situations...oh well! Would I recommend this place for the delicious food? Sure! Would I go out of my way to come here again after whatever that service experience was? Personally, no, because I didn't feel like anyone was even trying to provide good service. If my waitress was confused I wish she would have sent someone else over to translate or for help. But maybe it's better if you speak Japanese/ignore any awkward service faux pas...the fact that it was full of Japanese people speaking Japanese is a great sign!
