    Left-Large Spicy Tuna Roll (ask for the large roll!)  Right-Spicy Scallop Roll
    Vic N.

    Crazy Sushi is AMAZING! Probably one of the BEST sushi joints out there! Trust me! I have travelled to Japan! This truly is an authentic place! Pros: 1. Authentic food 2. The texture of the Tuna is unlike any other! It seriously is the best! He cuts the tuna very fine, as opposed to Noble Fish that chooses to use larger chunks! I love Noble Fish, but this Tuna roll kills theirs! 3. They have incredible baked rolls! I hate sweet crap, hence I stick with the yellow stove baked roll! It will take a minimum of 20 minutes to make, but it's well worth it! 4. Try the fried calamari roll as well! It's fantastic. 5. So, do you remember what to get! a. Large Spicy Tuna Roll b. Yellow Stone Baked Roll c. Spicy Scallop Roll d. Fried Calamari Roll Cons: 1. They are located in Madison Heights, on John R, between 12 and 13. That's okay, however, the sign has died and is not lit. It makes the place hard to find. 2. The owner can sometimes be grumpy. However, he is nice most of the time! He's actually Korean! 3. The times are usually longer. The owner is a I've man show, therefore; your order may take around 3p minutes to make. Overall, I love this place! If you are a Sushi Lover, this is the place to BE! Love you, CRAZY SUSHI!

    White Christmas baked roll !

    Very impressed! This tiny gem has been here for 13 years and I wish I knew sooner! The owner is very nice and the place is clean.i got my classic favorite the eel and cucumber roll and then tried something fun and "crazy" and I got the White Christmas baked roll and it was out of this world! I will definitely be back. It is a small place and he told me over 90% of his business is done carry out with good reason no more that 5 people could be eating in at a time. Non the less highly recommend.

    Don't be put off by the size of the place as it's more important the food they put out, no? There are 2 small tables for dining and a long bench for about 4-5 people along the sushi bar. The owner is a one man show, host, the sushi chef and takes the order, and bring out the food and rings you up at the end. We were told to write down our order by the long counter when we walked in with a lined yellow sticky note, small referenced menu affixed to the counter and a poster of the menu with small print on the wall behind the counter. We gave the owner our order and he told us that there were 3 orders before us when we told him we were eating inside. He told us to sit tight as he put out his orders. Do keep your coat on since it's such a small place the cold air from the outside door opening rushes in quick to cool the inside and the patrons. Although I don't expect the wait to be of the same time span of 45min to an hour like at noble fish. We shall see. We are hoping for some yummy sushi since that's all he does, no frills. There is seaweed salad but no house salad available and they do offer miso soup and a few apps and fried items to share the meal, but clearly the focus is on the sushi. At least there are a few interesting articles on the wall to pass the time some about the different sushi, nori story, sushi and soy sauce partnership and et al. Looks like most of the regulars carry out their food here and don't bother wasting time eating in this small place, I get why now. The owner seems friendly enough and busts his butt the entire time there since he's on his own. No overhead to worry about at least. The small tables are on the dirty side, want to clean them so bad, but no water or anything to use to wipe up the table some. Oh and they sell cans of soda or bottles or water or tea in a cooler. I did ask for something to wipe the table off with and the owner told me to have a seat and said "I got it", I sat down. Don't think you will get a glass of water or tea here, just keep reminding yourself it's all about the sushi and nothing more. The owner came out a littler over 20 minutes after we put the order in to wipe down our table. He said 95% of his orders are carry out and that's why he works alone. He said he would be starting our order now. The 4th customer to come in referred to the owner as Lee, looks like most of his peeps are regulars and dedicated on this snow flurry evening. The 5th guy made small talk with the owner and he clearly has a lot of regular customers. The miso is good but a ton of scallions in it, more than I would have expected but still decent. Our sushi order took about 35 minutes to be made and brought out to us, keep that in mind if you want something quick. The shrimp Cali was good and so were the Cali special rolls with the cream cheese and scallions and the avocado were freshly cut for our rolls. My husband enjoyed his crunchy roll the most. Sushi was good overall for a no frills spot. We would come back for more sushi, just keeping in mind the time delay to get our order.

    Spicy tuna roll, philly roll and pc of smoked tuna.

    I'm giving it 5 for how good it is and how nice the owner is. I'd give it a 4 due to their limited and inconsistent hours! Fresh and very tasty sushi which is very reasonably priced.

    Nigiri: Tuna, Red Snapper, Yellowtail, Scallops, Salmon and White Tuna.

    Crazy Sushi is an understated local gem. It is a hard to find hole in the wall without any frills run by a sole proprietor who is clearly passionate about making great sushi. Tonight we ordered Nigiri and Raw Rolls to go. Total price for what you see in the pictures below was just under $50. I recommend calling in your order to pick up at a later time so you don't have to wait. It is just a one man band behind the counter after all. Big pieces of fresh fish and big flavor! I am a regular here when in the Metro Detroit area.

    Don't be dissuaded by the small store location. I absolutely love finding hidden gems like these. I now live right around the corner from here and before moving, used to only go to Noble Fish. I got really tired of the 60+ min wait at Noble Fish so I found this location via yelp based on all the good reviews and gave it a try instead. I was so very pleased I did. There is just one sushi chef in there who runs the whole entire show. All the rolls are written out on canvas boards on the wall by entrance. You order by writing on the yellow sticky pad on the bench next to the menus and hand it to him when done. There's only about two tables inside and a couple seats by the sushi bar. We ordered for takeout: Mania (Salmon), Healthy, Spicy Tuna, and Yellowtail Scallion. All of which tasted amazing and fresh, so we were very satisfied. Great rice to fish ratios and I enjoyed the quality of the rice too. The preparation took only about 15 mins as we were the only customers at that time. Definitely will be coming back for more in the future! Well priced and reasonable for what you get, but I did feel the pieces on select rolls are a little smaller portioned in comparison to Noble Fish. Tip: Assuming this is how they keep overhead costs down, you will need to indicate whether you want wasabi and ginger included in your order, if any at all or if you want extra. I asked for regular amounts of wasabi and extra ginger so he gave us a generous serving, in which we were grateful for.

    The Dragon Queen (?) Roll was a bit overwhelming!
    Mariah C.

    I'm not sure I *want* my sushi to be all that crazy. I was inspired, in line with the same, to get a much more fancy out-there roll that I would otherwise have gotten -- the Dragon Queen. I figured that I had to go a little wild. That, added to a bowl of miso makes for a hearty-feeling meal. I was satisfied, and very, very full. This isn't an upscale sushi joint, but it's a well-intentioned, cozy place -- very small, but just fine for a quick stop in for lunch. I eat my lunch on the late side, so there wasn't any wait. It's not necessarily a place I'd seek out again, but if I found myself in the area, I'd likely try another roll or two.

    I love sushi, so I had to try a new spot while in the Detroit area for work. This place had good reviews and it was close so why not! When we pulled up we saw that it was a little hole in the wall place. And when I say little, there were only two tables and a bar thingy to sit at. Now I found out there is one guy that works, I believe him to be the owner and sushi chef. He is very good at what he does, but it takes a while to get your order because he is one guy doing everything. I ordered my favorite roll, the Philadelphia and also one called the Yellowstone. The Philadelphia was great! The salmon was amazing and smokey. The Yellowstone was a baked roll with crab and crab salad and it was piled on! Had I known how big the roll was I would have skipped the philly roll. But I can't even begin to tell you how amazing the Yellowstone was! It had amazing sauce and the crab was rich and flavorful. I would definitely comeback and order the same thing again!

    I'm a huge sushi fan, and I love to eat here whenever I can get the chance. The prices are very reasonable, and the fish is as good as it gets. What I love most about this place is the nigiri. A few sushi places I've been to charge around $2.50-$3.00 for a piece of tuna or salmon nigiri, and when it arrives, the fish is sliced disappointingly thin. Not so here. The nigiri is $1.99 max (cheapest I've found so far) and sliced a little more on the thick side. A real bargain if you ask me. The fish is also very fresh. Not sure what the other reviewers are talking about, but you won't find overpriced nigiri here. I dare you to find a place with cheaper nigiri for this quality. Definitely try the Healthy roll if you're not a fan of deep-fried stuff or mayonaise-based sauces. As good as it gets.

Someone in the huge crowd I waited with said it's never that crowded. I really feel like if they were organized a little better the process could have went smoother. It took other customers waiting to start calling out the names on the orders that were ready before the staff started to do so and, even then it was kind of random when they would do it. I ordered the salmon on the beach roll and the rainbow roll and was told the wait would be 30 minutes...def should have ordered by phone. The waiting area was PACKED. They said they were backed up due to a huge order they were trying to fulfill . I was wishing that they had a double door because it was freezing, especially whenever someone opened the door to go in or out. I ended up going to my car to wait. All in all I ended up waiting a little over an hour for my food, the last 20 minutes in that freezing lobby again. However...My rolls were delicious! My favorite was the rainbow roll. They were both HUGE, I've never had sushi rolls that big. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the cute little bento box but there's always next time. I would for sure go back but definitely NEVER on a Friday/holiday. Note: Came back a second time )and third and fourth, etc. lol) and the experience was so much smoother lol. I was the only person in the lobby. I ordered the rainbow roll and dancing eel roll and was told it would be ready in 10-15 minutes, which it was. I also got a cute little bento box this time. This has since become my go-to spot for sushi and the rainbow and dancing eel rolls are my regular order. I have seen some reviews on TikTok that may make me branch out and try other things on the menu though.

The layout includes three bars: the main bar, the sushi bar, and the tiki bar. The crab rangoon cheese katsu sticks were as good as they sound. I was worried there wouldn't be much crab, but that wasn't the case. The lobster tail robata was easy to peel, and complemented well by its accompaniments. The pork belly robata was tender, while the tare added some sweetness. Of the two, I preferred the pork belly. I've had four of the six bao buns. The chicken had a char flavor, and the steak sauce added some welcome moisture. The filet was tender, with a bold but not overbearing garlic aioli. The pork belly was also tender, glazed with a sweet honey, and balanced by some savory pickles. The sausage had a nice snap, and the Fresno peppers gave it a bit of a kick. The filet and pork belly were my two favorites. The sushi is some of the best I've had locally. The shikotsu roll (wagyu and bone marrow) was incredibly rich and buttery. $36 may seem steep, but it's the most memorable sushi roll I've ever had. The toro (fatty tuna) to caviar was also very impressive, and had soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Here's how I rank the nigiri I've tried: 1. Tamago (omelette) 2. Madai (sea bream) 3. Aji (horse mackerel) 4. Shima Aji (striped jack) 5. Ikura (salmon roe) 6. Uni (sea urchin) Lastly, for dessert, I've had the key lime pie. It was remarkably fluffy and honestly one of the best slices I've had. Simply put, TigerLily blew me away. I can confidently say it's one of my favorite restaurants in the Metro Detroit area. I'll be back soon to try the brunch, noodle, and sandwich options.
