I didn't grab pictures of the potstickers because they went so quickly between the three people in our group. But they were definitely a great blend of crisp and softness. The salmon was cooked perfectly and very tender. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and definitely could be a great lunch/ happy hour, professional meeting space or date night. There was so many options on the menu. I was definitely eyeing the burger, and I look forward to going back again very soon.

My partner and I decided to give it a try because I'm attempting to get into sushi. Let's just say... the jury is still out on that one. I ordered the ramen, which was good! Although, maybe I'm just a little too lowbrow because I still think I prefer the 99-cent ramen packets from the grocery store. All jokes aside, we had a fun time, and I'm glad we gave it a try. It just might not be my thing!

I was craving ramen late at night and came across Hiroki-san, which is located inside Detroit's…read morehistoric Book Tower building. I have to admit, finding the restaurant was hard (I had to ask folks around to help me), but I'm so glad I eventually found my way there. I arrived about 45 minutes before closing without a reservation, and I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating the staff was. Despite the late hour, they welcomed me in and allowed me to dine without making me feel rushed. What started as a simple late-night ramen craving quickly turned into something much more exciting! I ended up ordering two orders of Wagyu Robatayaki, two orders of Negima (chicken thigh) Yakitori, Karaage, Gyu-Don, and Shoyu Ramen. And funny enough, the dishes I hadn't originally come for ended up being the highlights of my entire meal. I sat at the bar, which gave me a front-row seat to watch the chefs grill the skewers over hot charcoal. There's something so satisfying about watching your food being prepared right in front of you, especially when you can see the flames, smell the smokiness, and appreciate the care that goes into grilling each piece of meat. The Negima Yakitori was perfectly grilled. It came with coarse sea salt, which really enhanced the natural flavors of the chicken and brought out that smokiness. The Wagyu Robatayaki was another standout! The strip loin was grilled to perfection and served with a soy-cured Jidori egg yolk. I absolutely enjoyed dipping each piece of Wagyu into the rich, silky yolk. It added such a wonderful layer of creaminess and umami that complemented the beef beautifully. I also tried the Karaage, which was just okay for me. The fried chicken itself didn't particularly stand out, but I actually enjoyed the su miso mayo more than the chicken. Now, onto the Shoyu Ramen--the very dish that originally brought me here! Unfortunately, this was probably my least favorite item of the evening. The chicken broth leaned a little too salty for my preference, and the noodles were overcooked. The chicken chashu also had a somewhat unusual fishy or gamey smell and flavor that I couldn't quite put my finger on. It just didn't come together the way I had hoped, especially since I'd been craving ramen that night. The real star of the show for me was the Gyu-Don! At $45 for a rice bowl, this is definitely on the pricier side, and I initially wondered whether it would be worth the splurge. But after that first bite, I completely understood. Everything about this dish was perfection. The Wagyu zabuton was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The furikake rice was seasoned very well, and the Jidori egg yolk added that rich, silky creaminess that tied everything together. And the beni shoga (pickled red ginger) was such an important finishing touch! Its tangy acidity helped cut through all the richness of the Wagyu and egg yolk, keeping each bite from feeling too heavy. I'll definitely be coming back to Hiroki-san, but next time, I'm heading straight for the charcoal-grilled skewers and rice dishes.

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.

I ordered the tempura broccolini and the king salmon roll. I honestly really loved the broccolini. It was a fair portion size for the price ($12), and I really enjoyed the togorashi aioli that it came with. The aioli had a perfect very subtle spice to go with the super crunchy tempura. I also liked the king salmon roll. Their rolls are a bit on the smaller side, but they are also cheaper at lunch ($16). The service was fairly quick, though it almost seemed like she didn't want us to be there, which was a little off putting. We got there around 1:30. They close between lunch and dinner, but if a restaurant closes at 2:30 and we are there an hour before they close, I expect attentive service, ESPECIALLY when 20% gratuity is automatically added to the bill. My friends and I spoke about it after the meal and her lack of engagement was something all four of us had noticed. I do not expect to be entertained at all, but some level of engagement is expected in a service role. The restaurant will validate parking (there is a code to scan near the front door). The restaurant appeared clean and there were plenty of tables. It would be interesting to see how the ambiance changes at night. Overall, I would not be opposed to returning, but I also want to explore more sushi restaurants in the area. I've been spoiled by living in the Bay Area with access to tons of delicious and unique sushi options. While I enjoyed Soraya, I can't say there is anything that is pulling me to return anytime soon even if the food was solid (except maybe the broccolini but if I'm in the mood for sushi then I can't say the tempura would be enough of a reason).
