Amazing food!!! I love going here! The service is amazing quality too!! I love the staff, and their warm welcoming energy!

Quick service and good food! I ordered a sushi roll, the agedashi tofu, and the subgum wonton soup. I would definitely get the tofu again and will return to try other dishes. Pricing is average and the portions were decent size. read more

Ordered an eel avocado and tuna roll for a late lunch, just after 1pm. It was about $16. Presentation was basically supermarket style, as expected & easy to carry out. Rolled both for me in just under 10 minutes. Rice was good, sticky and vinegary as expected, and the tuna and eel quality were great; eel was a bit smaller with a bit more skin than usual, but very tasty and not too saucy. Only drawback was portions were a bit small for the price compared to Naruto Sushi where I've gone a lot (in Sterling Heights). read more

Ordered 3 combination plates, none of which came with the egg roll nor the vegetable fried rice. My chicken was also severely undercooked. I called back once I got home to get a refund, and the woman who picked up the phone said they don't do refunds and proceeded to burp in the phone. She told me that I did not order the combination plates, and tried to tell me I ordered the Asian dishes; yet, the prices I paid for the meals were the prices for the combination plates. This place is classless and has outrageous prices. Never coming back, do not order from here. read more

They're down to a very small storefront with just a few booths- there once was a gorgeous larger restaurant with full sushi bar/high top and a happy hour everyday- Now it seems primarily focused on take out but if you get lucky, you can sit and eat too. I always order the chirashi at a sushi place because I'm fish forward- less add-ins- and it tasted fresh, delicious and presented well on a sturdy bowl of rice. ($24) You beverage choices are down to bottled water basically with the loss of real sit down dining- I assume the overhead was too much during Covid and take-out helped them survive. read more

I'm about to drop a truth bomb that just might break Yelp. Brace for impact: My first experience at Cafe Sushi was better than my first experience at Noble Fish. Periot. For starters, they were open when I needed them to be - no weird or random closures. Crooks and Maple, next to T-mobile. A very cute little scene (dining room currently closed), but I would hardly consider this a store front. Yes, the sushi counter/case is literally RIGHT in your face when you walk in - who doesn't want this?! They have no choice BUT to keep it clean! Everything was clean and fresh and right there to see. The lady running the place was polite and professional, no complaints. She said the order would be ready in 20 minutes, it was ready in 20 minutes. She greeted her regulars on the phone by name and even remembered some of their orders. The only disappointment was not being able to sit and experience the coziness and inviting feeling of the dining room, to no fault of theirs! I look forward to a day when places like this can fully re-open. And now, the food. 5 stars for freshness and quality. Not one SINGLE funky piece of fish. No weird strings of hard-to-chew fat in the salmon, you know what I'm talking about. I won't even try to go into detail. Just observe this fine work of art. This is what 20 minutes and $61.00 for a carry-out at Cafe Sushi gets you (miso soup not pictured). Now tell me this isn't worth it. I'll wait. read more

Best to come during happy hour, M-F 4:30. Really good agedashi tofu in a tempura broth/sauce. The bonito flakes on top are fresh and there is some sort of uuuuber spicy paste on the rim of the bowl, which complements the fried tofu and broth nicely. I like the Brett roll for specialty rolls. The reason for 3 stars is that if you are not coming for happy hour, it is very expensive. Also, the craft cocktails that they have are all extremely sweet, and I find that the sake offered is more on the sweet side, as well. Also, the side salad is just...sad. Watery bottom, white lettuce that is wilty and more mayo-consistency than the traditional ginger-based salad dressing. All in all, when I am in the mood for sushi and don't wanna spend an arm and leg on great quality sushi and the Americanized version will satisfy my craving, I stop in for happy hour and get the fancy shmancy rolls and walk out content. read more

Called for a pickup order... asked for the pad Thai to be spicy... 0 spice.... And the sushi did not taste good. Noodles were over cooked and soggy. The vegetables were chunky and undercooked. No flavor. Rolls looked good but were also really soggy and messed up our stomachs. read more

We used to always frequent the Cafe Sushi sit down restaurant before they closed. Now they have a small place that's basically take out only. I thought the sushi was just as good. We got our favorite...The Block roll!! We really missed this roll. We also got triple spicy tuna, spicy California and crab Rangoon. Everything was great! read more

Love Love this place. This is the same place that was near the walmart on 15 mile. This is on Maple $ Crookes. Same building as Starbucks. If you wondering if this was the amazing place that was near the walmart. They moved locations after covid. Their menu is amazing. I suggest their lomein. They are the only place i can find skinny noodles like this. The sushi amazing too. This place is a must try! read more

The best sushi I have ever had! Must try the Jamison roll - crab and avocado can't go wrong. General Tso bento is great! Husband thinks the have they best hot and sour soup too. Only drawback is that the restrooms are ice cold in the Fall and Winter. Nov 2016 update: Yeah agree with other reviews that waitstaff are sometimes not the most attentive but the food is still great. We now live an hour away and carve out time to change me here. read more

A very vast and roomy sushi spot. I liked the fountain at the front. The large bar was their sushi bar, tons of seats for a quick sushi meal. We sat in the booth and I headed to the bathroom to wash my hands. I nearly slipped and fell, but was able to catch myself. The bathroom floor was covered in this waxy or slimy film. I came out and informed the host, he barely made an audible or a head gesture indicating he understood. The soap dispenser seems rather delayed in the dispensing of soap. I had removed my hand after I heard the sensor kick on and had nothing in my hand and then a second or two after I removed my hand it dispensed the soap onto the counter. A few waitstaff running around. Our waitress seemed nice enough and took our order and brought it out as it was ready. We started off with the house salads with ginger dressing, then split the veggie tempura and 3 Cali rolls with added cream cheese and scallions, each were an extra $0.75 charge. The house salad was decent, all iceberg lettuce and the dressing was fair. My favorite ginger dressing hands down is still at Noble Fish. The veggie tempura wasn't bad but would have been nice to have a bit more sweet potato, maybe one onion and maybe one red pepper or something, it was rather heavy on the green beans. Dipping sauce is good though. The Cali with the Krab salad wasn't too bad, but could have used a bit more cream cheese for flavor and more scallions. I couldn't taste the onions at all in any bite of the rolls. Saw maybe 1-2 small pieces in a few of the bites was all. We finished and paid and headed out. I went back to the restroom to wash my hands and the floor was still filmy and dirty. The food is decent for sure, but needs some work on cleanliness to take it up a notch. And more variety of veggies for the tempura. read more

Pretty good sushi, but very slow service especially since they weren't busy on Monday night. Marlin and Vegas rolls are my favorite, wonton soup is a pretty large serving and is very tasty. Menu has lots to choose from including bento boxes which are a good amount of food. Lots of parking available, friendly service but a bit slow. read more

This used to be china king... China King had great food for many years. At some point there was some remodeling because they had a sign on the door saying that they were combining restaurants and going to be called Cafe sushi. I'm not impressed They changed food providers or got different chefs or the previous regime is no longer there at all. The food was not very good and yet another classic establishment has gone down the tubes... So sad... read more

Pretty fantastic place! I went here for an early dinner today, was sat immediately, and loved the atmosphere! The service was fantastic and prompt, I wasn't rushed, drinks always refilled, she was very kind and helpful. The food was tasty, and in great portion, I normally can finish everything but I pushed my limits ordering two rolls here. Great presentation! Would totally recommend this place and I will most definitely be back! read more

Cafe Sushi was my first-ever sushi experience when I was in highschool. My brother used to take me here because he loves the fried cheesecake. After moving to NYC and experiencing some of the best sushi in the States, I can finally appreciate the quality of sushi made at cafe sushi. After not having been to cafe sushi in over 10 years, I dragged my husband (who hates fish) to an early weeknight dinner. I love how diverse the menu is, and love it even more that they have a happy hour menu. We started with the edamame, and my husband ordered a chicken platter. He was blown away by how much food he got and the quality. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and a sweet potato roll and was in absolute heaven. This place is an absolute hidden gem. With reasonable prices and quality sushi, it is officially on my list of regulars! read more

I went back quite a few times and tried a lot more items on the menu. The burning smell was, thankfully, NOT regular thing. The good: the SUSHI - awesome different kinds of rolls, really fresh fish, and check the daily sushi menu to see what kind of special nigiri they have for that day the service - Fantastic service! Really friendly, always available, and willing to answer any questions the YAY! the tuna takaki (or... something like that) was a really awesome generous $7 appetizer. They have this special where you order one appetizer off of a list of 6-7 choices, you get 20% off of your sushi (until the end of June). the meh: the small plates - really meh. I tired about 8 dishes and I can't say there was anything I would ever order again. The noodles sounded exciting, but fell flat. The vegetable dumplings were gummy. The fried tofu thing had no flavor. The broiled mackerel was so tasteless. And oh, the kicker... I ordered this shrimp with spicy sauce -- that tasted like Chef Boyardee with some really mild red pepper. It was honestly terrible. the vegetarian appetizer - peanut butter sauced in different cold vegetables. It was just boring. Conclusion: Hanzo is so worth checking out for Japanese small plates. The dishes are much more exciting there, a bit cheaper, and infinitely tastier. Cafe Sushi is going to be my go-to sushi place... at least until they end this 20% off deal. The 20% off makes it so hard to turn down! read more

After spending $12 on a tiny tiny tuna salsa, I decided no going back again, and not to mention that I heard the chefs talked loudly in Cantonese Chinese to each other in their open kitchen. Yes, the food is not made by well trained Japanese sushi chef. The food in general maybe OK here but definitely not worth $14.95 for a Chinese seafood fried rice dish , my fellow dinner. This is no authentic Japaneses food and way to pricy for Chinese food, I have to say , after all. read more

Cafe Sushi - 12$ worth of tuna salad, what do you think about the portion? - Sushi Bars Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Love the Sashimi! Consistently fresh and good. Nice presentation. Sitting and talking with the Sushi chefs is always good conversation. They are helpful and nice, especially, the one from Bali! I tend to skip the vegetable and main dishes since I love the sashimi and rolls. But they are very good and worth a try! The only cons are the service which is good but not great and the weird decor. It reminds me of dining at Holiday Inn although the sushi bar is nice. Can get expensive. Overall, Chef Yoshiro Nakamura has a wonderful restaurant. read more

I can't believe I haven't already review Cafe Sushi! Thanks to Yelp's friendly reminder on the homepage, I can now review what I thought I had reviewed forever ago! Cafe Sushi is our go-to sushi place for a few reasons - 1. They have a large sushi bar, we like sitting at the bar and watching the fish being prepared. It would be even better if the sushi chef would take the orders as well like a normal sushi bar. This is a bit of a side rant regarding all/most sushi bars in Michigan. Oh and reason number 2. They serve alcohol. Sad but true, I really like hot sake with my nigiri. Now we have been coming here for over a year now, and we have tried a lot of the dishes, and not a lot of the rolls. The nigiri has been consistent, and my new favorite is the marlin. Enjoying sushi becomes really difficult when you are pregnant, as there are a lot of fish that you are supposed to avoid, and you're not supposed to eat the raw stuff in case you get sick - gasp. Well I am not so evil that I would force my husband to forgo sushi for 9 months, and lets be honest I really had to have a fix as well. This led me to venture into portions of the menu I would normally avoid. The tempura veggies and shrimp are usually good, the cucumber and seaweed salads are good, the new cherry blossom roll is enormous and fairly tasty. As far as sushi in Michigan - this is a great option, and a heck of a lot cheaper than that really trendy place on Big Beaver. read more

Very big and great for large parties. Dark but very modern. Actual Asians working in the kitchen. Kind of a place where you would go for happy hour. The food was very ehh.. The sushi was okay and man were the bento box really sucky. Bento boxes are very standard Japanese food and isn't that difficult to make. I ordered a cold noodle dish and it never came. I just told the waitress to cancel it. The only item we ordered that was actually delicious was Jalapeño Calamari 9.95 (Sautéed calamari with onions, garlic and jalapeño peppers). I don't even think this is an authentic dish. Overall, I am not sure if I would make the trip out here. If I worked around the corner I would come here not too often. read more

In the mid-eighties, I was lucky enough to tour Japan with a band for a month. I developed an affection for the country, its people and its food. Thus, I always look forward to a trip to a new Japanese restaurant. Today, I ordered a veggie bento, which started with miso soup and salad. The soup was excellent, more substantial and flavorful than most. The salad was only OK (a more balanced sesame dressing and non-iceberg lettuce would have helped). Then came the main part of the meal, which was excellent. Veggie gyoza (dumplings) were well-flavored with an appropriate soy dipping sauce. Vegetable in the sushi had the right consistency. Tempura veggies were battered lightly and served with dipping broth. Fresh vegetables were braised in a simple but tasty garlic broth and accompanied with brown rice. In the end, I was in a happy food coma. The main room was classy without being intimidating. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Cafe Sushi exceeded my expectations for Detroit-area Japanese food. It will be my go-to Japanese restaurant in the area. read more

I came to Cafe Sushi on a whim. I was on my lunch hour and I wanted to check this place out because I love good sushi. The lunch special that I took advantage of was the Bento Box! Amamzing choices and great options. You can mix and match, which means there is a bunch of combinations one can choose from. I ended up ordering the General Tszao Chicken, with a smoked salmon philly roll, tempura veggies which came with a soup and a side salad with a ginger dressing. The chicken was terrific, cooked crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a fantastic sauce that had zip and sweetness to it. The smoked salmon rolls were tasty too, not too overtly smoked and the tempura veggies were cooked perfectly too. The service was lovely. My waitress was patient with any questions I had and made suggestions based on finding out my tates. Very professional and personable. The downside to my meal was the salad was TERRIBLE! It was iceberg lettuce with the most spicy and raw tasting ginger dressing I've ever had. Also, I can't remember what soup I had, which tells you how good it was. I'm excited to go back and try more sushi. The menu is huge and they have many choices I'm sure will be delicious. read more

Went here on 10/28/11 with my sister. We were a bit leery as some of the reviews on here are pretty mixed. We were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was quite different than we were expecting. It's very nice inside. I had the Miso Soup which was very tasty and the Shrimp Tempura Appetizer. My sister had the Vegetable Tempura Appetizer. Then for our meal she had the Surf n Turf Special Roll and I had the Max Special Roll. Hers was delicious! Mine had got some rather good reviews, that's why I ordered it. It wasn't as spicy as I would have liked and it had way too much of the Shrimp and Onion Spicy Mayo sauce, but it was still good. I probably won't order it again, but at least I can say I tried it. Since we did not know how large the rolls were going to be, our server had suggested we order as we go. This was plenty of food to fill us up. We almost couldn't finish the sushi rolls. The dishes came out in a nice presentation. Long rectangular and large sqare plates were used. The chopsticks they provided were kind of difficult to work with. They seemed to be of the Extra-long variety, plastic and got greasy from the tempura so the food was sliding around ;-) It got to the point where I was just picking up the food with my fingers. All in all, a very nice experience, healthy portions and I would definitely go here again. read more

Went here on 7/24 ordered fried Calamari was charged $10.95 for a total of $11.66. Went back on 7/27 ordered the same exact thing, was charged $11.95 for a total of $12.71. When I called to ask why, the older lady said " oh sometimes prices are higher, if you want I will give you your dollar back." What a scam and rip off. Will NEVER go back.

Uni! Uni! Uni! A friend and I were craving sushi out in Troy, MI, and came very close to just buying something from Walmart. How lucky we were to find a sushi bar in the same plaza? (And a nail salon where I got my eyebrows done. Chaching!) Greeted from the time we opened the door, the hostess sat us at the bar and handed us menus. My friend had a Pepsi and I got to enjoy a Ramune. I haven't had one in years and it literally felt like I was back in high school. The chef knew everything there was to know about sushi, made lots of recommendations, gave us little pieces here and there to try. It was wonderful. Of course, I had to order everything in sight. The tamago, tako, uni, scallops, avocado stuffed in everything. I ate and I ate and I couldn't have been more happy. The chef made a huge platter for a party and apparently got the order wrong. I would have offered to eat it if it didn't have shrimp in it (I'm allergic). It was so beautiful, but they couldn't re-purpose it, so the plate just sat there all night long. Broke my heart. Since I feel like I might not stop typing, my pictures will suffice. read more

I enjoy Cafe Sushi quite a bit. The service is always extremely friendly and prompt and accurate. It's a large space so we can always get a table here. The menu is large - nigiri, standard & special sushi rolls (about 60 to choose from), bentos, apps, salads and entree options. I almost always get sushi - YUM! I have had the bento box at lunch and it was delicious - enjoyed trying a variety of items. The ginger salad is nice, although the dressing seemed creamier than I remember (maybe a new recipe?) -- not the best I've had. And I will agree that it does seem like the portions have gotten smaller under new management, but it's not a deal breaker. The decor is kind of hilarious - French impressionist artwork -- I guess that's the "Cafe" part of the name. The cocktails are strong and delicious. Sake, wine and beer, too. Gotta say - I love our regular waitress - she remembers our drinks, our son's name, even our soy sauce preference! This place is tops! read more

Great sushi. Terrible chop sticks! Our first visit here. We came for a Friday family dinner. We had a pleasant server and the place is impressive. Nice menu selections. A little pricey. Everything we ate was good. They have these clunky red chopsticks. They are hard to hold due to size but also they have a glossy finish so everything slips out of their grasp. After a few minutes of frustration we asked for carry-out style wooden chopsticks. They should just throw out those useless fancy sticks! Otherwise I LOVED this place!!! read more

The spicy vegetarian tofu is basically tempura extra soft tofu in extra sugary sweet-sour sauce, with a side of vegetables swimming in butter. Skip it. Tofu lettuce wraps are quite good. The sake was brought out so hot I couldn't hold it. It's supposed to be served at body temperature, not microwaved. Total amateur move. Service was nice though. Probably won't be back. read more

As far as restaurants go I had a very pleasant time coming to this place. It wasn't as crowded as I had hoped that it would be on a Wednesday night but I enjoyed the extra attention as a result. The staff is very nice and although it didn't appear to be owned by Japanese people I figured it was worth giving it a try. We had the jalapeño soft shell crabs upon recommendation from the sweet waitress and they were really spicy to my delight. I would have liked for there to be at least one more soft shell crab in the mix but i know that they can be expensive..... Then we had the black bean mussels. They were the green ones from New Zealans and quite plump. A tad bit over cooked but permissible. We rounded out the meal with a Jameson roll. Although I usually like to stick to traditional rolls I will break out and try ones that sound interesting. The waitress recommended it as well. It underwhelmed me and I don't think that I will order it again in the future. We also ordered the hot sour soup and a salmon roll for my child. I specifically asked that they not put any wasabi in the container but they must have forgotten. It coated some of the roll and we weren't happy about this. Overall it wasn't bad for a non-Japanese owned sushi place in the neighborhood. read more

In town for business. I was in the Troy area and decided to get sushi at this place 05/13 around 2pm. My server's name according to the receipt was "Yun". The miso soup was good but the sushi I ordered was sub-par in quality. Worst of all the distant, distracted, inattentive, with a zombie-like disposition server didn't even bother to check-up and refill my water; and it wasn't even crowded inside. Customer Service doesn't seem to be a priority at this sushi place. read more

"Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver" I don't know who first uttered these immortal words, but that person had apparently just eaten at Cafe Sushi. For the uninitiated, Cafe Sushi sports an Anglicized name (strike one), has white hostesses and waitresses (strike two) and an almost-exclusively white clientele (strike three). In any other instance, I would have turned around and hit the door so fast that my shoes would have left a trail of smoke on my way out. But this was Janelle's birthday dinner, we had eaten here before, and the food has always been good. As we walked to our seating area, I looked around for some Asian faces, but the only one I saw was the guy squirting hot manass (you probably call it "mayonnaise") on some fried shrimp rolls. The hostess gave us a booth near a couple of smock dumplings (imagine Kate Gosselin put on 90lbs and worked as a clerk in a medical office), and I knew that we were in trouble. Within a couple minutes, Buffy the Appetite Slayer seated a trio of typical Detroit asswipes next to us, and these schmucks teamed up with their waitress in an attempt to get me to poke my own eyes out with a pair of splintery bamboo chopsticks. In the usual "can't eat a meal without ordering alcohol" fashion that un-cultured poseurs seem to be so keen on, these dipshits were excited to hear the waitress pitch their drink specials. It was then that I heard the most offensive combination of words that I've ever heard in a restaurant. Sake Sangria. Seriously, fuck you. I'll ignore the fact that the waitress pronounced "sake" incorrectly (and "sangria," for that matter) and convey that the Douchebag Trio asked what color the sake was. That led to a three minute long discussion about what type of wine sake is, and the DT and the waitress finally came to a consensus that sake is a merlot made from plums. Things like this are why I am a misanthrope. As we waited for our meal, we were treated to a cascade of idiotic discussions, snowballing in their stupidity as these dimwits attempted to make sense of the menu. I guaranteed Janelle that at least one of them would order a roll named after a city or a state. Sure enough, one ordered a San Francisco roll while the other two ordered Michigan rolls. I don't know about the San Francisco roll, but I'm reasonably sure that the Michigan roll is a hot dog rolled in a bun and covered with chili, mustard and onions. If that isn't what it is, it might as well be. Thankfully, these loudmouths got their food around the same time that we did, so we got to enjoy our meal in peace. We split four types of nigiri, a couple chicken yakitori sticks, some agemochi ankake (yeah, that's deep-fried mochi in dashi and it's even better than you'd think it'd be) for our appetizers. I got the chicken yakisoba as my entree, and Janelle got shrimp tempura udon. Actually, our waitress corrected Janelle's pronunciation. "It's temPEARa." Then, she condescendingly conveyed to Janelle that what she was ordering was a soup. Good call, gaijin, because my clearly half-Japanese wife needs to be told what her favorite dish is. The apps were good, just as they always are. Janelle didn't have any complaints about her dish. My yakisoba was noodles with chicken, ketchup, shoyu, onions and cabbage. Absolutely vile. As we were leaving, I saw a group of happy Japanese people leaving a different dining room and it occurred to me what happened...they stuck us in the gaijin room. The misery we experienced was because of the color of our skin - they segregate their diners based on their race. At first, I was insulted. Then I realized that it's a damn good idea. If Japanese people had to put up with white people butchering the pronunciations of their food, ordering bastardized versions of their cuisine and being generally ignorant and obnoxious, they'd never come back. It just makes me wish that I could have dined in the tranquil Japanese dining area and experienced the higher-quality food that you get when your order is placed from that room. All that said, I have to rate this place based on my experience. The sushi is very good, the fish is fresh, the appetizers are stellar, but the rest was bad. The food itself is far superior to that of the typical gaijin sushi restaurants around Detroit, but the clientele is just intolerable. I don't eat at Little Tree because I want to stay away from people like this. In closing, let me just say that 99.99% of white people don't like sushi. Further, 90% of white people who say they like sushi don't like sushi. If your roll has something fried in it, spicy mayo on it, or carries the name of a state, a city, or has the word "firecracker" or "dragon" in it, you don't like sushi. So please, white people, can we just stop pretending here? read more
