Sharaku is easily one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Michigan, and after multiple visits,…read moreit continues to impress me. Having spent time exploring Japan and eating plenty of sushi there, this is probably the closest I've come in Michigan to recreating that experience. The focus is on traditional and straightforward: quality fish, careful preparation, and letting the ingredients speak for themselves rather than covering everything in sauces and toppings. The sushi and sashimi have been consistently excellent across my visits, and I especially appreciate that the menu goes well beyond the typical American sushi restaurant. There are plenty of traditional Japanese dishes and chef's-choice options, so it's a place where I'm always tempted to try something different. The atmosphere adds to the experience too. It has this intimate, neighborhood Japanese restaurant vibe that reminds me so much of stumbling upon a sushi spot in Kyoto. If you love traditional Japanese food and care more about quality and authenticity than elaborate specialty rolls, Sharaku is absolutely worth the trip. One of the best Japanese dining experiences I've found in Michigan, and a place I'll continue coming back to.

I'd probably go lower, if not for the friendly service. came here with my friend for his bday…read moredinner. Not sure how he became aware of this place, but here we were. AMBIANCE - the place seemed very cozy, with booths, a handful of tables and seating at the sushi bar. This place was JUMPING on a Tuesday. I'm actually glad I made reservations. Bunch of old Asian dudes working behind the sushi counter - place seemed legit. SERVICE - our server was very attentive and was helpful with recommendations. He was very patient as we had MANY questions about the menu, and what we should be getting. MENU - this place had a pretty extensive menu. The first page of the menu had their daily specials which seemed to be a pretty deep selection by itself. They had many of your standard Japanese fare, though their appetizer list seemed to be deeper than most. They also had a fair number of sushi combos, however, according to our server, those are all chef's choice, and said they tended to be more basic type rolls/fish. One thing that was unfortunate was that the sushi rolls did not have a description of what was included in them, so we had to get clarification on a few of the rolls we were interested in. FOOD - we decided to get a smattering of items. we started with the deep fried oysters, chicken karage, and some along with some fried scallops they had on special. The oysters were good, while the karage and scallops were just "ok." Good, but nothing to write home about. We also ordered a couple of rolls - we did the spider rolls (soft shell crab), a tempura shrimp roll, dragon roll, and two eel nigiri. The eel nigiri were excellent. The rolls while good.... left me wanting a bit. From the other reviews that I read, this place is good on quality, and less on the quality, and this was on full display with the rolls. Besides the nigiri, the rolls seemed light, especially our spider roll which was only 4 pieces (I dont think I've ever seen that before). Even the dragon roll seemed small. We probably could have just gotten more nigiri in lieu of dragon roll. OVERALL - while the food was good, for the price you pay, it does not seem worth it. Maybe if we had gotten more nigiri or chirashi, we could have appreciated it more, but this place was too far and too expensive for what it was. Maybe the lunch specials make it worth coming here, but this would not be anywhere on my list of places to go for sushi in the metro Detroit area. Celebrity Rating - Salt Bae

The menu is strong but limited, which I kind of like- limits decision fatigue, especially after a long day. I ordered the nigiri combo, for the cause. Nigiri is something I've only really gotten into this year, so I'm not an expert, but I know what I like and what I don't. Soft, sticky rice that feels fresh and adhesive but not clumpy, fresh smelling and looking fish. The California roll was a California roll. The nigiri was great however. The shrimp in particular was light and almost creamy tasting? I know that sounds odd but I mean it in a good way. The rest of the fish was good. I even tried eel (this is big for me) for the cause! It was rich and fatty, but not in an unpleasant way as I feared. It was pleasantly sauced, so I was able to try it sans soy sauce and was pleased! I *really* liked the soy sauce here, although they don't give you very much. They also are a bit stingy with the ginger. This was my first time trying tamago, which is a delicately sweetened egg roll stuffed with rice. If you're not used to it, you have to get over the look and just go for it! It's yummy! The restroom was clean but smelled faintly of cigarettes. To be honest... I didn't mind that. It kind of fit with the vibe and gave the restaurant a "real" "edgy" feel, although some people may not appreciate it. The interior is kind of messy and unkempt, but if you keep your eyes on the prize- the food- you'll leave happy!

Letting you know, this has been a 4-year await to try Noble Fish sushi and let me say, I am beyond impressed. Upon arrival, you will order at the kiosk! I wanted to try something new, I ended up ordering Regular Nigiri Set [Tuna Roll, 1 Tuna Nigiri, 1 Squid Nigiri, 1 Mackerel Nigiri, 1 Octopus Nigiri, 1 Crab Stick Nigiri, 1 Egg Nigiri]. Additionally, I ordered Spicy Tuna Crunch Roll. The Squid Nigiri was interesting and melted in my mouth - lol. My less favorite was the Mackerel Nigiri, I felt like it has a metal and fishy taste. It's amazing cooked but I do not think I will consume it raw ever again. The fish was fresh and the sushi rice was soft and cooked to perfection. Overall, I would most def love to visit this place again with family and friends. The staff was beyond helpful when I had questions and super nice. The food is made quickly, so there is not a long wait.

I went in and barely anyone was in there, we were sure it must be good right? Wrong. First off was the wait staff not very friendly and pretty mute to any questions / not understanding of asks. The 2 chicken appetizers - they were hot and fried crispy but chicken inside was pink and red.. felt it wasn't cooked all the way. My husband and I stopped eating it in case we get sick. We left it on the table they kept asking if we wanted a box three times, no they were terrible. But this is after I sent back my ramen.. Again I read a raving review, saw a photo of "uncovering this hidden gem". I try ramen all over the place, I was happy to try what they were popular for. No this place is terrible and a waste of money. This ramen is the worst I have had in my life that I took two bites. One it burnt my entire mouth because it was boiling - probably so I couldn't even taste the real taste. After letting it cool I tried it and it was awful tasting, not spicy like requested. And smelled burnt like plastic & tasted like that. I asked waitress for help - she said "oh I can get you more spicy?" I said no it's not even tasting good at all. She said well you ordered it and now it's wasted.. so I'm not sure what we can do about it. Then She yells across the restaurant to the "chef" about my complaint behind the sushi counter. He said something I don't even know- but then said sorry you didn't like it. Then she goes "we have multiple people and full tables come in and eat this everyday and Never complain all the time". I said okay great. Well I don't like it and it's not worth the cost. It's not at all what's advertised. And also the restaurant was basically empty... Worst meal I've actually had overall. Even after sending it back the appetizers cost $55 that were also bad and never got finished - but we didn't want to complain about the entire meal at this point we didn't eat some. This meal was so bad, I could have walked out. But not that kind of person. I would suggest to take your hard earned money elsewhere for better food. Still regret picking this place.

I think I found my new favorite Japanese restaurant in Michigan…read more This little gem is tucked away at a corner of a strip mall. Aptly decorated with Japanese theme with cozy and warm seating arrangements, we were absolutely blown away by their fast service and refreshing Nigiri's and delicious appetizers. I went on a dinner date with no reservations. Luckily there was no waiting list so we got seated quickly. We started with some drinks, spicy garlic edamame, and Gyozas! Next we got the Spinach salad thing with couple of Nigiri's. Of all the items the edamame was the only item we didn't care for as it was a little bit on the sweeter side. Man the seared Macarel and Tuna Nigiri was too good. It just melted in our mouth. Trust me the seafood was FRESH. No joke! The spinach salad thing was a refreshing item something we had never had before. It tasted like some type of Kimchi with easy on fermentation! The service was fast and welcoming! Our server the young lad took really good care of us. Took his time to explain the menu and help us! Definitely going back again. There's no reason why we wouldn't. I would highly recommend y'all to give them a shot. Trust me you won't be disappointed.
