    Sushi  - variety of rolls
    Courtney C.

    We've visited Kanbu twice and both times we've loved our food. We've had the spicy seafood udon in the past and it was yummy but we love the sushi so we prioritize that. Their salmon is so fresh and buttery. Just delicious! We've always visited on off times and the service is standard. The atmosphere is casual but nice.

    Kanbu Burrito
    Jackie D.

    Stopped over here as soon as I heard they had sushi burritos on the menu. A very small and hidden restaurant with very cheap options, you'd be looking at spending 16$ for a sushi burrito which is on the cheaper end. For the price it was great but the ingredients were not as fresh as I was expecting and the burrito comes with one free sauce which came in a small cup and was hard to eat with my burrito. The food came out very quickly and the overall ambiance was very relaxing and the restaurant as a whole was nicely decorated with dimmed lighting to enhance the dining experience.

    Scotland Burrito

    Ordered a Scotland burrito and it was absolutely delicious!!! Also a very big portion, so I'm excited about the leftovers. Great service and cute place. Would highly recommend :)

    Delicious Age Dashi Tofu. Tried the Philadelphia Burrito which was very filling and yummy. Added red tobiko which was a great addition. Nice and attentive service with a good atmosphere.

    Salmon in rolls is not fresh and tastes spoiled. Salmon in Bento box is very good. Very disappointing.

    Tuna Roll Philadelphia Roll, Michigan Roll

    Came here last minute craving for sushi. The baked and seared michigan roll was very good. Also ordered Philly, tuna, and yellowtail all tasty. Will go back and try other sushi

    I only ordered takeout from here because I was craving a sushi burrito. First let me say this, they DO NOT skimp on the protein in the burrito! The staff is really nice and offered me a place to sit and a glass of water while I waited for my takeout. Their pricing is reasonable and I will be returning for dine in. The menu is a little overwhelming with options especially since there are no photos.

    Mango roll
    Lindsay L.

    Very interesting menu and sushi but yummy and fresh! Really great service and friendly people. It is very nice inside and well decorated. I had a specialty roll (mango roll) which was delicious but no seaweed, instead wrapped in sticky rice that was very sweet. They have good combo deals for lunch such as three simple rolls for $16.50 with salad and miso soup, but the miso wasn't too flavorful. I would definitely go back!

    Excellent and attentive service! Pristine restaurant. Delicious sushi. I had the lunch combination special with 3 rolls, and loved every bite! I had the spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and salmon avocado cucumber roll. My lunch special also came with tasty miso soup and salad. My friend loved her poke bowl and it looked gorgeous. They have a gluten free menu too.

    Amazing array of sashimi

    Y'all know that when it comes to sushi, my heart is loyal to Godaiko. I met a group of friends here and took a risk. This used to be the old Nagomi sushi. I like this place better. It's located next to the infamous Afternoon Delight. The dining area is rather small, but they have a beautiful, wood filled modern aesthetic. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 and were very prompt and friendly. Although many of the rolls looked unique and intriguing for sure, I went with the bulgogi. It was fabulous. It was accompanied by warm rice and a ginger salad. I washed it down with a taro boba. The boba was tasty, but they need a larger circumference straw to enable you to suck the boba out. All of the options that my friends got looked great, too. I may return to risk one of their warm cheese topped rolls or a burrito.

    Flaming sushi roll!

    Excellent sushi! Great service! Fun spot to eat! We celebrated our daughter's birthday there and their sushi rivals west coast fare!

    Dragon burrito ($13)
    Heidi M.

    Dedicating my 200th review to this lovely spot that I visited during my short trip to Ann Arbor (from NYC) last week! Naturally, during my travels I was craving my Asian food. My boyfriend and I were so intrigued by the sushi burrito photos that we stumbled upon, and decided to eat here before our flight back home. We ordered the Kanbu Burrito ($14) and Dragon Burrito ($13) with spicy ponzu on the side and they were both BOMB. Sooo delicious and fresh. It did get a bit messy but so worth it. It doesn't end there. We also ordered the Seafood Udon ($17.50) and Tuna Lover Poke Bowl ($12). Yes there were only 2 of us. The udon was wonderfully soft and chewy, broth perfectly flavored. The comfort bowl that we needed and craved after eating garbage for the last 3 days. And the poke didn't disappoint. This was the only thing we couldn't finish and had to pack, which we ate at the airport hours later and still tasted so good. I'd recommend all of these items that we had. To top it off, our server was so friendly. She was warm & welcoming and wished us a safe trip home. Kanbu is a lowkey, unassuming casual Japanese restaurant and I never expected to have such good food out here. If we were UMich students we'd come back all the time!

The sweet chili sauce is perfect. Thai Peanut Noodles (4/5): The noodles had great texture and the Thai peanut sauce was delicious. The tofu wasn't really crispy and I personally would've loved the option to add some meat. Lamb Dumpling (4/5): Lots of meat in the filling and didn't taste gamy at all. Limited time special. Shrimp Shumai (4/5): Really enjoyed the wonton wrapper. Shrimp flavor came through nicely. Limited time special. House Salad (4/5): Light and fresh. The soy based dressing was sweet, slightly acidic, and not at all overpowering. Warm Chocolate Cake (4/5): Delicious cake with a warm, gooey inside. I personally don't like coconut or chocolate and fruit desserts, but I still enjoyed this a lot. Creme Brulee Tasting (4/5) : Green tea, pumpkin spice, and ginger creme brulees. Loved getting to try a little bit of each flavor (green tea was my favorite). Spiced Caramel Pear (3/5): Not my favorite since I don't generally like cooked fruit.

I've had it sit down and take out, and in both instances the serving size was really good making it way worth the price. When I've ordered online, they always pay close attention to the extra instructions I add about adding cucumber and spice so you don't have to worry about that being overlooked. The ambiance of the restaurant is honestly top tier with the real flowers and candles on each table, aesthetic consistency, along with their round turning table perfect for large parties. These are the things I've tried from there: Orange chicken: 7/10 (and only because it's not my favorite dish anywhere, I just tried a bite of someone else's but it's good and has fresh mandarin in it; it quickly became my dad's favorite dish there) Pork Larb: again and again 10/10 I could eat this everyday Sesame chicken: 8/10 (not the best of the best I've tried but still very good) Kick boxing chicken: 10/10 Sticky rice: 10/10 perfect with my Larb Thai tea: 10/10. the best Thai tea I've had in Michigan.

The mango stick rice was excellent, and enough for four people! Quite the value. We'll try more from the menu here for sure and I'll report back on the rest!

This place is aligned fairly well though with food in Korea though ie not highly westernized. This place is in the center of the college area on Liberty and State street. The selection is not extensive but the basics are here including BBQ. Side dishes are decent, Kimchi, which is fundamental to any Korean meal and varies by region, is always included and people have strong opinions about. Theirs is OK but not top notch. Other side dishes are decent. Whatever we ordered, BBQ, Yuk Gae Jang, Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap (Rice. Vegetables and beef inn stone pot), other was pretty good.....just like Seoul Garden used to be before ownership change. We used to go almost exclusively to Seoul Garden near the mall off Boardwalk but after ownership change stopped as the taste changed significantly and not for the better. Its nice to have The Seoul is an option. They have beer and soju (Ubiquitous Korean liquor in Korea that along with Kimchi is many Koreans blood) Environment of the restaurant is modern but still a bit cozy. Overall, definitely worth a try. While we are at it, I have spent allot of time in Japan on business (some vacationing too) and I know it's trendy to go there now especially with the exchange rate, and by all means go, allot to see and experience (and eat!) there. But don't overlook Korea. The two countries have a torrid history and don't want to admit they are similar in many ways....but they are and Korea is loaded with great places to go and food to eat. Traveling can be done on any budget, feel free to reach out if you want to learn more. Also love to hear from experienced travelers, love to learn of new places and things to do.

The quality of the food is still amazing and worth a visit, but there were some items I wish stayed on the menu. For example, the spicy salmon crispy rice is no longer available and only available in the tuna form. The portions are also smaller, now coming in three small bites rather than the two big bites from before. The gochujang rigatoni and kimchi paella are also unavailable. Some new dishes I tried and loved were the short rib and the grilled octopus. The octopus was incredibly tender and I couldn't stop eating it! It also comes with delicious potatoes. The short rib was a larger portion and also tasted delicious. The rest of my table ordered the miso cod. The miso cod was delicious, but the portion was quite small and arguably not worth its price compared to the short rib. Cocktails that I recommend are The Gatsby and The Promised Neverland if you like sweeter drinks! For the service, we felt a bit rushed as we were dining. Normally the drinks come out followed by the appetizers, but our appetizers came first and the drinks came with our mains. I think there was a missed opportunity to sip on our drinks and chat with our party as we enjoyed the restaurant's ambience. Otherwise, the food came quickly and was well served.

It was restaurant weekend in downtown Ann Arbor and we didn't have a reservation, so we obliged, although the space was pretty empty. Once we got to the bar, the young waitress slammed menus down in front of us and acted extremely annoyed by our presence. After bothering us every minute for the next 5 minutes to order, me and my friend put in our orders in haste. We then waited for 30 minutes for our meals to arrive. I got the "Amazing Shrimp" sushi roll and my friend got the "Grilled Angus Short Rib". As noted on the menu it comes with Mashed Potatoes, Shishito Peppers, and Garlic Chives. Per my friend's request, the order did not come with the Shishito Peppers or Garlic Chives, but it also didn't have the potatoes. After asking for the potatoes, our server went back and we could hear her yelling at the kitchen staff. Minutes later she came out with a bowl of 3 potatoes, not mashed and not hot. My roll was great and I'd definitely order again if I come back, but I'm honestly not too inclined to after this experience. Lastly, the restaurant itself was freezing. It was a cold day but it was way colder inside than it should've been. We ended up keeping our coats on for most of dinner. I really do want to like it here because the vibe seemed very modern and clean, however the service, food, and level of professionalism fell short of my expectations.

The ambiance is kind of a sterile, trendy vibe, but not in a good way?

I don't know. I could forgive all the weird vibes if the food were better. I will say their tacos are quite large; so don't expect a typical street taco. I had a hard time eating three and I'm a pretty hungry person. So I'd order two, especially if you have any kind of app or side. I would not order the mahi mahi one again. There was SO MUCH (bland) fish in there it fell apart. The pastor was pretty typical, and the camarones (shrimp) one wasn't bad, but it was kind of like a shrimp salad concoction vs a fried shrimp or ceviche kind of application. And they were like teeny mini shrimp. It was well-flavored, though. My Paloma mocktail was solid! Expensive, though, for something without booze in it. Our server was very sweet but perhaps overly attentive, stopped by (not kidding) like 12 times to refill our waters after we'd taken barely a sip. We were well hydrated but chuckling at the constant disruption.
