"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

This place is dope! The only negative is that it is located in a strip mall but who really cares? Their food and value make it a must go for lunch, at the least. I came for lunch to meet a friend of mine around noon and just beat a sizable lunch crowd to get seated. We were promptly greeted and actually left alone to finish our conversation until the server found a good time to take our order (much appreciated!). Their lunch specials were wicked good. $13 for a bento box which we ordered. It came with six huge pieces of General Tao chicken, a cup of rice, edamame, a roll of sushi of your choice, ginger salad, and either an egg roll or dumplings. Holy all that fills you up! Service was prompt to fill up your glass, turn around time to eat was quick but you're not rushed; just a fantastic place! I will go at least twice a month or as much as my waistline can maintain! read more

I love Cherry Blossom in Novi(the sister restaurant to Cafe Sushi). You can read my review of Cherry Blossom and see how much I gush over that place. So after hearing for many years about how much better Cafe Sushi was, I had to give it a try. I was in the area for lunch and dropped by. This is when everything went down hill. The sign at the front says 'Grand reopening - New Management' Hmmmmm... Not a good sign.... The menu has changed and gone to a more western pallet. Chinese main courses (Mongolian beef) and totally dropping the Ramen/Soba section is a big disappointment for me. Also it looks like they gave up on the Yukitori(BBQ food on sticks) WTF? The waitress couldn't speak English that well, but she tried and that isn't a problem for me. Soba wasn't on the menu anymore so I ask could they still make it for me. She said she would go ask the chef and that is the last time I saw her(did I even order my lunch?). She came back around 15 minuets later with a bowl of Soba that was unlike any I've ever had. They got the broth and noodles right, but why did it have Broccoli and carrot(never had it that way before) instead of Tempura Shrimp? An Egg? Tofu slices? By this point my lunch break was all but over and I hate to waste food, I ate it anyway. I wanted to order some sushi to go along with the noodles, but forget that now... The bill comes and I'm blown away that a bowl of noodle soup costs me $8 and that's not including tip either. I know Soba isn't cheap, but common! A bowl of Tempura Soba(Noodles and Shrimp) is only $6-7 at other places. My whole lunch was so disappointing that I just paid the money and left. As I leave I notice the sushi chefs are all outside smoking cigarettes in plain sight of the customers(yuck). I don't know how the place was run before, but it sure didn't win me over with the 'New Management'. With prices like that and questionable professionalism by the so called 'master chefs' I won't be coming back. Really upsetting because I had heard such great and wonderful things about this place. Good luck Cafe Sushi, your going to need it. read more

Been here three times now! Amazing food. Super fast service!! Excellent customer service. Spicy California is my fav!

First time ordering from here ( carry out) the order was without error and the ordering process was easy ( online) Had vegetarian options, Chilli Tofu and various veg rolls. Loved the vegetarian options ( more than one entree!) and rolls were fresh and packed. The price is high- but if the food and service is always this good- this could be a regular spot read more

Our family tradition of sushi every Wednesday was recently disrupted when Tokyo Sushi in Birmingham recently closed. So last Wednesday, without anywhere to go, we decided to visit an old favorite, Cafe Sushi. It had been a while since we had eaten there and upon our return everything looked the same. The staff was friendly, the interior clean as usual. Everything was the same except the sushi. The rolls were so much smaller. The sashimi was also cut smaller. Everything just seemed smaller. Things like extra ginger and wasabi were available but at an additional cost. Overall, it wasn't bad - just not the same Cafe Sushi we used to love. Very disappointing. read more

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The second we walked in we were seated and the waitress was friendly she brought us water. Order the lunch special of vegetable tempura , spicy tuna rolls and general tao's chicken ( came with my choice of white rice and edamame) also order avocado roll which was 6 pieces. My sister and I shared the the bento box we at first thought it wasn't enough for both of us but it was. The general Taos was crispy and sweet . For our whole meal was 22 dollars for the lunch special of 13.50 and avocado roll for 4.50 and a coke 2.95 For sure going again loved it read more

I met up at Cafe Sushi with my friend Gunnar. He originally suggested going to Noble. I made a counter-offer, and I suggested Cafe Sushi for the greater variety of menu items. I'm stuck between three and four stars for this review. I'm going to go with three stars. There were some items that definitely deserve four Yelp stars, but there were some clunkers. After perusing the menu, I decided to get their soft-shell crab appetizer, which was quite nice. One very cool thing about getting that appetizer was the fact it came from a section on the menu that was involved in a promotional deal. If one orders one of those appetizers for $6.99, one gets 20% off all sushi ordered. Uh...sold! I'm all in. When one considers the combined facts that two pieces of nigirizushi could easily eclipse the $6.99 mark and that my friend and I would order a heck of a lot more than two pieces of sushi, how could I NOT take them up on their kind offer?!? That has been my M.O. at Cafe Sushi ever since that deal showed up on their menu. Yesterday, all I had eaten prior to dinner were some little tea sandiwiches at about 10:00. It was 18:30, and I was feeling "Man-v.-Food" hungry. I ordered up some noodles, because it was just the thing that I needed for the weather. I didn't want to just eat noodles. So, Gunnar and I decided to split the remarkable Chanpomen. I also stunned our nasally pierced waitress with my "Man-v.-Food" stomach by ordering up the Omakase too. The US$10 Chanpomen stunned both Gunnar and me. If I recall correctly, large bowls of ramen noodles, some leafy veggies, bean sprouts, lemongrass, scallions, pork, shrimp, and scallops populated a lovely broth that seemed to have some coconut milk in it. I could be wrong about the coconut milk, but the broth seemed to be very much something I might find in a Thai restaurant. Ordinarily, that's not something that I would want to find in a Japanese restaurant, but this soup won me over for how freakin' good it was. From the second its aromas hit me, it was love at first sniff! I still remember it. This is like remembering the scent of a woman who is irresistibly sexy to me--how in my mind I can still smell her, how it makes me want her even when she's not around. It's that marvelous mystery of chemistry and desire. Like that woman, I'm trying to figure out its inner workings. Was it fish stock? Was it really lemongrass? Whatever makes it what it is, I want it--just like a woman whose essence lingers in my mind. The, the five-course omakase began. Really, I wasn't counting. I just wanted them to keep bringing me food until I was done imitating "Man-v.-Food" host Adam Richman. The first dish was a nice plate with a seaweed salad, a little sliced octopus salad, some edamame, some fried oyster, and some other fried item whose explanation I missed. It was all quite good. Before I was even done, the next item came up. It was a nice tuna tataki. It was seasoned, seared, and served with some scallions, lemon, radish, and Sriracha. Around that time Gunnar's first plate came up. It was a very nice hamachi carpaccio, which seemed a bit more like a tataki with the added as. That particular dish was more proof that Cafe Sushi has some a long way. The hamachi was probably the best I had ever had there. It was both more fresh and more rich than any I have had in recent memory--lovely fish. The balance of the dish was marvelous too. I really got a sense of the great quality of the hamachi without it being overpowered by the jalapeno and the marinade. My next dish was a lovely little plate of fish and vegetable tempura. It wasn't earth-shattering, but it still was quite nice. It was a light and delicate. A lovely bowl of broth came next. In this bowl of broth was a crab leg, which was to be dipped in what seemed like a yuzu-based sauce. Unfortunately, the crab was a bit stringy--perhaps not so fresh. Some vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, and a tasty oyster were also in the broth. After that came an unmemorable teriyaki plate with overdone salmon and chicken, and some nice medium rare beef. Next up, was a pretty standard plate of nigirizushi. The fish was good, of course. The shrimp unfortunately, was cooked and rubbery. We also wanted the sushi chef to make us a roll--anything that he liked. I was surprised by his choice. Our Japanese sushi chef made us a Roma Roll which had, I believe, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, crab stick, and cream cheese on top. After rolling, it is baked briefly to melt the cheese on top. To my surprise, I enjoyed it. Green tea ice cream with some red bean was dessert. By then, I was stuffed. Both of us were surprised by the bill, which was less than we expected. It's almost a 4-Yelp-Star experience except for the clunkers, but they have improved markedly since the first time I went there about five years ago. read more

This was absolutely nasty. We ordered fried pork and it was over cooked and cooked in old oil and so greasy. The staff barely even looked at us. The waitress spilled drinks on the table and didn't do any to help clean up. Definitely never coming here again read more

New Management = Terrible Sushi We loved eating here before. We were unhappy with the sushi after the Grand Reopening, but thought we would give it another try. I have been sick all day. I can't imagine eating from there again. Only Noble Fish or Mene from now on... read more

Worth with price, be sure we will come back again. Sushi is amazing, especially the block roll. read more

Cafe Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Troy, Michigan

See all

I'll admit I'm biased. I generally don't think that good food should be found in a strip mall, especially a strip mall in Troy, but I love it when my assumptions are proved wrong. The Sushi Cafe has a great atmosphere, and is even better if you end up sitting on the floor in one of the little rooms in back like we did. The staff were helpful and attentive and the food was wonderful. The Beef Tataki was very flavorful and a wonderful way to start the meal. I also tried a Shitake & Chicken 'dumpling' that was quite tasty but not I cannot remember the name of that dish. The salmon skin salad was crisp and light while still having all of the salmon fat goodness you would expect. At the recommendation of my brother I ordered an off the menu item, the 'Super Max Roll'. If they had sushi at State Fair's this would be there. This is bacon-wrapped deep fried twinkie of the sushi world. So what is it? The Supermax Roll appears to be a California roll that has tempura fried shrimp and fried conch rolled into it. Then the pieces are dipped in tempura batter and the entire roll (containing the already tempura fried shimp) is given the tempura fry treatment. If that wasn't enough it's then covered with a sauce of chopped onions, more conch and hot sauce in a mayonnaise base. This thing has to tip the scales at 2000 calories. This is roll that I would recommend only to groups. This is the perfect roll to pass and let everyone have one piece. More than that is just too much, but it sure is good. The crab and avocado rolls were also quite tasty and allowed me a break in between pieces of the southern chicken-fried state fair supermax special. I was impressed that they used real crab in the rolls instead of the all-to-common krab stick and the avocado was perfectly ripe. Then came what was possibly my favorite dish of the night, another recommendation of from my brother (actually, more of a dude you have to try this NOW) which was the Mackerel in hoisin and lemon. This was almost sublime and a perfect end to the main courses. It was actually a wonderful palette cleanser before dessert. This roll is fresh mackerel dunked in hoisin and served in lemon slices. Before serving the top of the mackerel is given some quick heat with a blow torch. The spicy and sour flavors blended perfectly with the softness of the mackerel. Last up came dessert, which would also win the blue ribbon at any state fair. Dessert was scoops of ice cream coated in cheese cake, dipped in tempura batter and deep fried. With all the deep frying going on here I have to wonder, did Paula Dean have something to do with this menu?!?!?! Regardless, the food was wonderful and we had a great time. I would recommend the Sushi Cafe in Troy to anyone! read more

Hi my name is Jen and I am a closet stalker of Janelle's reviewed restaurants. She's never steered me wrong and seems to have been to all the places I want to try. Cafe Sushi is no different. On a fundamental level this is well prepared sushi. The sashimi holds together well and you can feel the texture of each grain of rice as opposed to the mashed together sticky paste so popular elsewhere. A few of the highlights are, of course, the gluttonous plate of spicy mayonnaise known as the max roll and the escolar sashimi which is served on it's own plate dotted with sriracha and nestled atop a thin slightly smoky soy based sauce. The escolar was by far my favorite part of the meal and I would return just for the foregoing items. The service was quick and efficient if a bit hurried and impersonal. I have to agree with previous reviewers regarding the special apps. Our soft shell crab was fried beyond recognition and utterly disappointing. Additionally, I would opt for dining in the traditional room if available. While I realize patrons who walk through the door are not under the control of the restaurant staff, Cafe Sushi has some of the most outrageously misbehaved people it has ever been my displeasure to dine along side. Laughing hysterically and screaming into your cell phone in an empty dining room? Also, restaurant.com has certificates for this place and they're 80% off right now if you use the code "JOY" at check out. The certificates are good for alcohol too. read more

Hm. I'm not quite sure what to say about this place. I've come to terms with the fact that I don't mix well with Asian food. I'm quite limited to rice and vegetables, but even that's not always safe. I'd gone to a different Asian restaurant the day before and had the unfortunate experience of ingesting fish sauce, which, as it turns out, I am allergic to. By the time I took my seat here with the rest of the large group I was with, my face had swelled to twice its size, and I was not the happiest. I wasn't quite as unhappy, though, as one of the reviewers below me whose weirdly racist rant just pricked at my ire. Perhaps it would be a wiser course of action to base one's review of a restaurant on the food rather than the people he was seated next to purely by accident, and to cut back a little on the personal insults. If it were someone close to me, I might suggest therapy or, I don't know, anger management or something... but as it is, it's not really my place. Anyhow, I ordered the vegetarian tempura. It was interesting. I can't really say if it was good or bad, because I'd never had it before. I don't know what it's supposed to taste like. My boyfriend liked it, though, and he is a big fan of Asian food. Everyone at the table seemed pretty pleased with their dishes, in fact. As for me, I ended up just eating the bowl of white rice my meal was served with. Please don't feel sorry for me; I like that sort of thing. I can't remember much else, except that they set the tables up in a kind of strange "L" configuration, which left four people in our party more or less exiled to the outer reaches of loneliness. It was a little sad and more than a little awkward. That obviously wouldn't have been a problem with a smaller group, so take that for what it's worth. I probably wouldn't go back to this place on purpose, because, like I said in a previous review of an Asian restaurant, there's just nothing here for me. But this place gets 5 stars, because I want to offset that guy's review. Doing my small part to foil needlessly mean people. read more

2.5 stars. I've had take-out from here once and dine-in lunch once. Take-out was SOOOOO SLOW I thought I would die of starvation (okay, more like impatience) while waiting for my order. Lots of non-traditional/non-authentic dishes on the menu. Most of the waitstaff I saw was decidedly not Japanese, not even Asian. I think that's pretty indicative of what to expect on the menu. I had a cooked roll (since I'm preggs) and while it was good, it had the whole mayo thing going on. Ther service was attentive, though...I will give credit for that. The prices were reasonable. It did smell fishy when we walked in, but I attribute that to the plastic-wrapped plates with the daily specials at the front door. Not necessary. If I am feeling too lazy to drive a few more miles to Sushi Do, I would go here again. read more

Since Ronin is closed for lunch I have been on a search to find good lunch sushi. I don't think this is my place. In general the rolls are too small. I ordered a Michigan roll, it was good. The MIchigan roll had spicy tuna, avocado, and cucumber. I ordered a spicy california roll, it had the spicy sauce on top. When I took a bite the roll had a weird not so fresh taste. Bummer since I love spicy california rolls. I ordered a crab and avocado roll. This roll had real crab in it. It was good, but gritty which turned me off so I didn't finish the roll. Then I had a 24 Karat roll that had mango, smoked salmon, cucumber, crab on top and spicy mayo. Must be the spicy mayo because it had the same odd flavor the spicy cali roll had. Also, I could not even taste the mango. The service was fast. The staff were very friendly. I am still searching for my optimal lunch sushi. read more

They fed me undercooked (still pink) chicken. When I brought it up to the server, Greta (after waiting 10 minutes before she came back by me), she asked if I wanted them to re-make it. I said no because I needed to go back to work, and she very rudely responded, "Well, then there's nothing I can do." Charged me full price for the undercooked, pink chicken I couldn't eat. read more

Cafe sushi is showing their trade mark on the sign out side as well as the Japanese restaurant "Cherry blossom" in Novi is showing the cherry flower symbol with Kanji character as "桜". Cherry blossom is pretty authentic Japanese restaurant, however, Cafe Sushi is Japanese fusion, some BENTO style lunch or some of their sushi rolls are almost like Chinese food. I'm still wondering if they are connected to Cherry Blossom in Novi. read more

This place wasn't actually that bad, we ordered a couple of sushi rolls as well as a noodle dish. The sushi was pretty good it was different from other places it wasn't just your basic sushi rolls that some people get they made it a little different which was nice. The noodle dish was interesting, it wasn't my favorite it was one of the Asian noodle dishes And it wasn't my favorite. The server was attentive half of the time although he kept switching around between different people. And the prices were way too expensive and way overpriced from other places that I've been to. I will probably not return however my experience here was not bad read more

All I can say is that this place used to be good and now it is really really bad. It seems maybe there is new management in the past few years who really should not be in the restaurant business. Overpriced, the food isn't good and the service is poor. read more

I feel like all of the positive reviews here are fake/written by employees. I'll start positive and say their sushi is very good. And carryout usually doesn't have any problems and is quick. HOWEVER, dining in is always horrible. I wouldn't recommend coming if you're on a time crunch or lunch break. They're so slow! They always take forever to take your order and serve you. Don't expect to get drink refills or be asked how everything was either. The waitresses are rude, short, and just plain suck at their jobs. I wouldn't recommend friends/family to dine here. read more

I'm picky about sushi. Came here with a friend because she had a gift cert to use up. I had miso soup, with two rolls--one was called an Acupulco Roll and the other a shrimp roll. all three were great. I am very picky about miso, and it was the perfect flavor. My companion was not a fan of her sushi, but hey, it is all about me......haha. Service was very friendly and our server was patient as my friend asked for a description of like 10 rolls, LOL. Prices were OK, maybe slightly high, but I liked my food so whatevs. No wait for a table either. would go here again. read more

It's under new management now, so you have to be careful with what you order. Probably best to stay away from the westernized or non-Japanese options. Nevertheless, the authentic staples of the old place are still there, and they're still good. I've only had sushi there once since the change in ownership (it was actually a positive experience), so I won't comment on that front. That's not what you'd come for, anyway, since there are places that specialize in that stuff. It's the hot dishes that should draw you here. Still true to the tradition of the old place and still outstanding. First, the sukiyaki -- a Japanese hot pot that uses a soy, mirin (rice wine) and sugar as a broth. Put your rib-eye slices, vegetables and tofu in there, let it simmer and cook down, and enjoy the syrupy goodness. Second, the yakitori is also still great as an appetizer, but Cherry Blosson (the former sister restaurant) has by far the better selection. 4 stars for the sukiyaki and yakitori alone, as well as the sweet and accomodating staff. If you're on the west side, Cherry Blossom is the better option, but Cafe Sushi still works as a great option for the north side of town. read more

Two words: Max Roll. I first went to Cafe Sushi four or five years ago with a good friend of mine, who happens to work at the Detroit News. We were both pretty hesitant to try a "strip mall sushi place", but the place had come highly recommended by one of her readers. We were pleasantly surprised by what we saw when we walked in -- you can take a seat at the sushi bar, or grab a table or booth in the restaurant. It looks a lot nicer than you would expect. Other than the veggie and shrimp tempura appetizer, I've only sampled their sushi offering. I'm not a huge fan of Japanese Udon soups, and that make sup much of the non-sushi menu. The tempura rolls are always crispy and hot -- not soggy and luke-warm like some places. Their shrimp crunch roll and Philly roll are very satisfying, and their nigiri is always fresh and well made. They are generous with the wasabi and pickled ginger, and always make sure to point out the separate rolls on the plate. But the crowning glory, and the item I ALWAYS get each time I go there, is the Max Roll. Those little bites of California roll are smothered in a spicy mayo sauce, mixed with onions and conch meat. They put the entire thing under the flame for a few minutes, and the top gets all bubbly and hot. It is seriously the moist perfect bite I've ever had. You'll even consider licking the sauce left on the plate. Do not pass up a chance to try the Max Roll if you check this place out. Cafe Sushi also has a pretty extensive sake and drink menu, and their tempura cheesecake (however kitschy) is pretty darn good. I've never had a problem with waiting for a table at this place, and the service is always fast and pleasant. read more

The sushi is consistently fresh. Excellent service. Spicy Crunchy Salmon rolls are the best!!!!! The ambiance is a little quieter/classier. The only bad thing is the location. Not as hip as the 'ol RO. read more

Last two times we were there, Cafe Sushi has become a lot more Chinese. The food is more bland now. The desserts run out. Sushi's still pretty good, but I can go elsewhere for cheaper sushi. Ehh, it's too far to not be perfect anymore. read more

A. for the atmosphere and interior B-. for the food E. for the service.. Sushi is small (I posted a photo) but it is pretty good! Prices are on the higher side for a sushi restaurant. The inside is so pleasant, well designed, modern and cool that it was a pleasure to dine in. Green tea is bland, I wouldn't order it there. Now, on the service.. I asked how's their undon soup, my server looked up, made a flustered highschooler expression and replied: "well...likeee.. idk, likee a fish base I guess? with likeee veggies and stuff? idk like its a soup right?" Note that undon are noodles, somewhat ramen style, usually based with shitake mushroom broth. I assumed that this place just does their own thing and fish-veggie soup sounded good since I didnt really want a noodle dish. Guess what? she brought a bowl of undon noodles. No fish broth, a typical shitake-flavored cube-broth and decorative spare of carrots. The entire time she was just as oblivious and giving off an unpleasant vibe. I consider this pretty bad service. If I come here next time, ill sit at the bar. read more

Fresh and good! The Teka Don is fresh with a generous serving of tuna, rolls are GOOD and the sashimi is perfectly sliced. Like to sit at the counter and talk with the sushi chefs. They are all talented and friendly. Atmosphere is, well there isn't any. Too chain restauranty but the food more than makes up for it. read more

Host/server was super friendly had us sit wherever we wanted. Knowledgable of the beer selections, asked if we had any questions as some servers do not. attentiveness was on point. They have $3 craft beers during their happy hour. So far this is my favorite place for miso soup. I think the location is a little too big for a sushi cafe however I don't know how crazy this place would get here at night. It's definitely sophisticated in here and we'll kept. Food came out promptly. The server even had the courtesy to ask whether or not we wanted low sodium vs regular soy sauce. Their regular rolls were quite standard which I was little disappointed about. The place I usually go to has at least avocado and cucumbers added to the standard salmon rolls. My boyfriend mentioned to add that the chopsticks are quite large and a little difficult to use. I wrote this post as we had our experience to only find out that MY SUSHI DID NOT COME OUT FRESH! :/ read more

I have only ever gotten takeout from here but it's always great! Prepared fast and never any complaints! Cafe Sushi is the best!

Pretty standard sushi, with good service and a huge space if you happen to need to seat an army. We were sat immediately to a mostly vacant dining room and sushi bar. Our server brought no less than four different menus which was a little overwhelming to get through but we managed once we figured out which ones had the sushi menu in them. I went with my typical litmus test order plus a few of their premium rolls that sounded like they were worth trying. We started with some hot sake to wash the tuna, eel, tamago nigiri down. The tuna was nicely cut without too much stringiness to it. The tamago was sweet and firm and the eel was spot on too. Nothing really shined about any of it but it was tasty. For the premium rolls we tried the Triple Spicy Tuna roll and the Asahi Roasted Garlic Roll. The Asahi roll was the preference between the two and it had cooked shrimp on top with a dollop of roasted garlic cream sauce. I liked it but there were others I would try over it next time. The Triple Spicy Tuna was really really weak and I was bummed out about it. It had good flavor but no real kick. If you're going to call something Triple Spicy it should knock my socks off with heat, otherwise just call it "the needlessly overpriced kind of spicy tuna roll". Again, good service, plenty of room for seating and decent sushi. read more

A vegetarian, a seafood hater, and a sushi-lover walk into a bar ... it sounds like the start of a joke, but it was just my Saturday night experience at Cafe Sushi. I went there with my brother and his friend for sushi and drinks, and was actually pretty pleasantly surprised by the place. I'm the vegetarian, and I ordered a tofu hot pot, Kappa Maki, and rice. My brother got actual sushi (well, kind of, he gets the kind with cream cheese). My bro's friend got chicken teriyaki. We all really enjoyed our meals, but the service was ... eh. We would have had at least two more beers apiece if the waitress had been around more, plus all our food came out at different times -- I didn't even get my tofu until my dining companions were finished eating. It's pretty good, and the decor is pretty nice, but I'd try somewhere else next time. If you do go, check the specials page! They have all sorts of stuff on it, and it's mind-bogglingly cheap. UPDATE: Okay, I've been again, now that I eat raw fish, and I loved the sushi. Our waitress was much better, the food came quickly, and it was a great deal for the HUGE rolls ... we could barely finish it! I'm adding another star. read more

Cafe Sushi is a really classy place with very affordable prices. Honestly, when I walked in and saw the place I was expecting to spend a lot more than I wanted but that was not the case. It's a large, beautiful restaurant and the service was amazing. The hostess was very pleasant and the waitress was extremely helpful and accommodating. The menu is very large and offers more than just a traditional sushi place would, even including some traditional Chinese fare which was cool. And did I mention they have a liquor license... If I could give them 6 stars I would. Definitely check out Cafe Sushi you won't regret it. read more

We used to be regulars here years ago but stopped when the food just didn't seem as good as it had been (chef change??). When we purchased a few Groupons I included one for Cafe Sushi to try them again. We were impressed! We ordered the sashimi combo for two and enjoyed everything on it. We used to take advantage of the weekday lunch specials and since it was a weekend couldn't try that. The prices are still a bit higher than we like to pay so normally we go to other places for sushi and Japanese food. I think we will have to give the weekday specials another try. read more

Well, I've always had sushi here with no bad experiences, but let me tell you about today. My fiancé and I came today for lunch. She ordered general tao, I ordered chk fried rice with water chestnuts, bean sprouts, and celery added to it. I can say this was my best food experience in a long time. Our server was outstanding, the food was even better, and as always, it is such a clean atmosphere. Highly highly highly recommend. read more

Excellent Tuna Tataki. Excellent sushi rolls. Unfortunately, not so excellent prices. It's better to go with more people (somehow I feel like when ordering sushi with more people, you get to eat more and pay less even though you'd think it'd be proportional), because it's easy to spend more than you can afford here. BUT, the Max roll is literally to die for. The Max roll is pretty much their version of Dynamite -- it's a California roll with dynamite sauce on top. While it's very unhealthy as it is basically a Cali roll smothered in spicy mayo with bits of grilled shrimp and grilled onion, the roll is amazingly delicious. It's too rich to eat on your own in my opinion, so sharing it is the way to go. It's the best dynamite sauce I've ever had, however. The Max roll is the reason why I go there. I'm also a big fan of the marlin roll... though right now the name is escaping me. The marlin almost tastes like its been kabob'd. It's not at all what you'd expect a sushi roll to taste like, so I know some people dislike it. I think it's good, though, and I haven't seen a similar roll anywhere else, so I try to get it whenever I eat at Cafe Sushi. read more

I have been here a couple times before last nite and have always had a good experience here. Always, fresh and have always had good service. Their buy one app for 6.99 and get 20% off sushi special is STILL going on and it was a pleasant surprise! We started with the chicken wrapped in shiitake mushrooms...I dug it...it tasted like a fancy chicken nugget with a mushroom wrap...would def. order it again. Edamame-same as it is everywhere...good portion size and reasonably priced. Our single pieces of tuna and salmon were a good size for the price and freshly cut and chilled-big PLUS. I noticed a CRAB and avocado roll, and kudos to you cafe sushi for using CRAB instead of trying to fake us stupid Americans with KRAB...well done. The spicy yellowfin roll was was def. something to write home about....not a lot of overpowering sauce, and big pieces of fish. While we had fun making fun of the chicken teriyaki roll(seriously?? WTF? that is NOT sushi in any shape or form), we did get one of the American-ized rolls...but it was one that included raw fish(if that redeems us) the San Francisco roll was on the great daily specials list...spicy salmon, asparagus, and topped with a good portion of avocado-like enough so you taste it. Overall, another satisfying experience here, and will be back, closest and best place to me. read more

To me, this is the place for business dinners. Its dark, high-end atmosphere is nice, but the food is way more expensive than what it's worth. It is loosely related to Cherry Blossoms restaurant in Novi, so the taste is not bad. It's just the cost effectiveness and the overall experience that didn't impress me. read more

You know this place isn't too bad but is definitely not great. It's a pretty big place when you walk in, lots of seating. There's some seating available on the bar where you can directly watch the chef make the sushi, which neat. Serve was fast and friendly (we came at a pretty dead time, right between lunch and dinner hours) Everything else was avg/good: price/portions/food. The sushi itself was okay, pretty basic/standard. I did like the sizing of the sushi, it was bite size which I really appreciate because sushi isn't a thing you want to take more than one bite of, and often times I've found American/Japanese fusion places tend to have some giant rolls on there, which makes for some awkward eating. I'm not really sure if troy is a sushi area but we drove past quite a few in our way here. Although it could be a quantity over quality thing in this neibourhood. Either way you'll never know until you try some of the places, so try away my fellow yelpers. read more
