Tonkotsu Ramen

I ordered Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen for take out. I was told it would be ready in 20 minutes on the phone. It ended up to be 45 minutes. I sat there waiting for 25 minutes. This is what I got, there is basically nothing in the broth, just a piece of onion, a piece of red pepper, a couple pieces of bean sprouts. Egg is over cooked. It is nothing like authentic Tonkotsu Ramen. It is extremely salty. I added a lot of water and some mushrooms in there to fix it a bit. And it is expensive. Totally not worth the time and money.

Nice place and good food, definitely visiting again if I am in the Windsor and Detroit area~

Mango paradise Maki roll 10/10
Maria S.

Went here 3 times, for a special occasion dine-in and twice for take out. The Maki rolls are to die for, definitely best Windsor has and the quality is consistent every time. Appetizers like tuna and beef tartaraki (is that how it's called?) Were great too. It is on the higher price side and there's a chance of a long wait for the food, but fully worth it. The specialty fusion rolls are great, but pricy . They have 2 cheaper combos as well, Maki dinner and deluxe Maki dinner. Even these "generic" or simple rolls are better than any specialty high end rolls elsewhere. The rolls are big and have excellent balance of fish, sauce, veggies and rice . You will pay around the same price as you would at an AYCE but get far better value and a memorable meal.

Hands down, the sushi place! Everyone I have introduced this place too always comes back. To start off, the owners are amazing and take such great care of their customers. The Sushi is always fresh and amazing. My favourite rolls Double double Crispy Crunch Cali Oceans rolls (not on the menu - assortment of raw fish wrapped in cucumber) Lobster roll (I forgot the exact name) The tempura appetizer is amazing, as well as the house salad and the meal soup.

Great location, decent food, poor snobby service.. if the rating was just for food, would have given this 4 stars. Service was horrendous to a point of spoiling our mood - we went together as a family, reserved ahead.. all went well till we landed at the hands of a snobby server who seemed disinterested.. food came late and she never ever bothered to ask once if we were enjoying our food or if we needed anything.. we felt isolated and were left wondering if they truly cared.. only towards the end another employee took good care which helped a bit.. Coming to the food, it was fairly decent - well presented and flavourful- we ordered quite a bit and the starters came through first and then the main course came through one by one. Personally, I would not go back to this place - pretty disappointed!

Honestly maybe my favourite restaurant in Windsor? Really enjoy the sushi, Korean dishes and overall house-like ambiance here. Service is always friendly and I love the convenience of the location, just minutes from downtown and steps away from the riverside. I love bringing my parents here to try new sushi plates, really great variety and hasn't disappointed yet. Sundubu-jjigae tofu soup is also pretty hard to come by sometimes, but happy to know they serve it here.

Looks like they changed owners! Came here and the menu was completely different. Had a lot more korean dishes. Was excited to try the different things on the menu. We ordered 2 rolls, which i can't remember the name of now. One of them had mango in it, which adds a nice sweetness to the roll. the rolls were nicely presented, and very packed. The other roll had seared white tuna on top. The seared part is what makes the unique taste of the roll. Nice smokeyness, with the natural fat of the fish coming out! However just like before, it takes a long time for things to come from the sushi bar. I don't know if it's just because they have 1 sushi chef, but it's always a waiting game, thought it would be better with the new owners. Overall, a great little gem in a small town! Definitely will come back again and try the different items!

Chirachi dinner

Hikari is a Japanese restaurant located in Downtown Windsor. It's located inside a house. They offer seating at a sushi bar, dining room, and a couple of tatami rooms. There are stairs, so it's not accessible.Most of the people I've spoken to in Windsor regard Hikari as the #2 sushi restaurant, behind Sushi California. Personally, I prefer Hikari for dinner. Both restaurants offer the typical, sushi with a little bit of traditional Japanese food restaurants. They both offer traditional decor, updated with modern necessities. Both also offer tatami style seating. I've had great service at both restaurants. Hikari offers a few "pan Asian/Chinese" dishes for those who not necessarily ready for Japanese food. Both restaurants offer vegetarian options, and with a little explanation, even vegan food. The only reason I hold any preference to Hikari over Sushi California is the price. I find the quality of both restaurants is comparable to what I've eaten in Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal. However, the price for these dishes is anywhere from 20%-100% more expensive. Hikari offers a VERY reasonably priced lunch menu, starting at $5.99. I've also eaten here for dinner on a few occasions. My man and I ate a ton for around $35.00, including soda, tax and tip. Not bad for a Saturday night dinner!

Sushi/sashimi combo (take out)

Just ok. Super location and space. Their service is a little pretentious, but they get the job done. Their prices aren't too bad, particularly with a Groupon, which they offer frequently. The fish isn't the best in town, and it certainly isn't the worst. It's fine. You won't write home about it. You'll safely arrive home and have enjoyed a decent night out at a cute place.

Shrimp and veggie tempura

Hikari is a rare gem in Windsor in terms of Japanese cuisine. I'd say it is by far the best I know in town if you are up for authentic Japanese food. Thumbs up!!!

Consistently fantastic quality food and outstanding service. Always find great options like the Black Dragon roll, which was amazing. Why can't the rest of Windsor's sushi restaurants be like this one?

Crunch roll (left), Godzilla roll (right)
S L.

I think most of my paycheque is spent at Hikari :') My most recent order was the Crunch roll and Godzilla roll and they were fantastic! My favourite picks are as follows: Tuna salsa (so much love for this) Godzilla roll (10pcs of bliss) House Special Nigiri lunch special (for the price, yes pls) Tempura udon (their soup is bomb af) Sushi dinner Beef tataki And service is phenomenal!

Unagi roll.
Natalee L.

Went on a late Saturday afternoon. There were a lot of reserved signs in the tables around me. I started off with a green tea... it was good and hot. Then, I had the tempura veggies (2 shrimps, 2 yams, 1 zucchini, 1 broccoli, 1 red pepper and 1 onion) and they were very good. Next, I had Unagi roll... 8 pieces. Wish there was more eel in the rolls themselves, but it was very good. Atmosphere was OK. Some noisy people came in after me. Overall, it was a good experience and I will be going back to try the other menu items. Dazzle me during my next visit!

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.

Ambience Definitely…read morea hidden gem that has held its place on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit for over 12 years. The building's striking fire-engine-red brick exterior offers a fitting hint of the bold experience waiting beyond the doors. It's a very small, intimate restaurant, with a cozy feel that makes the space feel personal rather than sprawling. I was pleased to see that it welcomes families, including children--hold the wasabi. Service You may have to wait a minute for a table, but if you're in a rush, there's always the option of pulling up a barstool and dining at the bar. Where you'll also find a limited choices of liquor. The servers were friendly and extremely attentive. I appreciated that they weren't overbearing; they were easy to reach, accommodating, and present when needed. Food The food selections--hold onto your hat and be prepared to hit the fire alarm! The flavors promise to bring some serious heat and excitement to the table. This place offers ramen with a twist, giving a familiar food choice a more distinctive and unexpected presentation.

It was the best decision we've made that day, I got the burned miso ramen, my husband the Major Tom Khatsu and we both lived them! Very flavorful broth, and chewy noodles. The staff was very friendly and helpful considering it was our first time. The only wish I had is that their bao was without dairy, so it could be vegan too. We'll be back for more!
