    Nice salad presentation and flavorful miso soup
    Maya C.

    Just finished a lovely lunch at Shiro! The sun was beaming in the front windows and the atmosphere was serene. Outside, winter has gripped the area, inside, it was warm, bright and comfortable. Quickly greeted by staff. I have found Shiro to have efficient and consistent service. This was true today as well. Our food was quite nice, started with the side salad and miso soup. We had a few sushi rolls, the kappa, California and mushroom rolls. We ordered the Ebi Shumai: fried. For our lunch, the chicken katsu, fried so nicely and very tender. The tempura udon was perfectly hot, tasty and delicious! This visit brightened the day and a great start to the week!

    Amazing hidden gem! They have Rodney Strong for a house glass pour; they have delicious food for an amazing price and the service is impeccable! Cant wait to come back with my friends! Beautiful building!

    The best sushi in Novi, MI. Rolls are unique, flavorful and high quality. Great prices for the amount of food. Got take out this time around but previously when dining in the service has been spectacular with a fun vibe. I highly recommend Shiro for dine in or take out :)

    I staff was very pleasant. I recommend a reservation we did not have one but the wait wasn't bad they had to make sure they were staffed accordingly for reservations first. The place is an old house if you like old homes and they try to keep a lot of the original floors, windows and walls. The food was so flavorful and fresh. The Chilean seabass had the most amazing miso cream sauce it went to so well with the seabass the roasted vegetables and the spinach rice. The sushi rolls were cut to bite si that you didn't stuff your mouth and again very fresh. The shishito peppers were okay very garlicky but not really spicy and they were very soft. The veggie gyoza were very good they were very light and crispy the dipping sauce was tasty. Very good atmosphere and service the food was wonderful.

    The Filet I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING. This is NOT WHAT SHIRO GAVE ME.  See next picture.

    The sushi of course there was EXCELLENT. I have been here before but just for sushi. I did have an Avocado roll which was really good. Ambiance was eclectic. The beer in the bottle warm and I'm not one for warm beer. SECOND...The Lobster and Crab spring rolls were nothing but fried and mushy crab or lobster salad with no Lobster or crab. Lastly and the worst is ....I ordered a Filet Mignon thinking since it was Shiro I would get a top notch tasting Filet Mignon. It had ZERO TASTE ( NO spices on it what-so-ever), IT WAS NOT JUICY at all (no juice in, on or around it ...Zero) and eating it was like eating a BRICK. FIRST picture below is of a Filet Mignon and what it SHOULD look like. The SECOND picture is the Filet Mignon they gave me. Take my advice. Don't get this there. It wasn't worth $28.00. I ate one bite and wanted to throw up. My rating is for my recent experience last night. DO BETTER SHIRO RESTAURANT!!!!!

    The freshest and most delicious sushi I've had in Michigan so far. Not usually a fan of yellowtail but this restaurant changed my mind; it was so buttery, and of course, salmon sashimi is my favorite in general so I liked that the best. But honestly everything tasted of high quality it's hard to pick out what I liked the most . Would definitely visit again!

    It was a night we both needed and Sushi was calling my name. I found this unique Sushi bar in a renovated old mansion in Novi. They have very limited seating so I would recommend reservations. We ordered a few appetizers, the Lobster Spring Rolls and Pork Dumplings. They were both very good. The spring rolls were served with mashed potatoes which I wasn't expecting! lol My friend doesn't eat raw fish so he ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and I had an entire roll of sushi all to myself!!!!! Can you say winning!!!! Of course we wanted Saki and my friend surprised me with a fancy bottle of Saki! It was delicious! Ashely was our server and she did a fantastic job recommending taking care of us. We had great food, a lot laughs and just enjoyed a random Wednesday night!

    This place is the perfect place for a dinner. Started out with the amazing Fatty Roll- this is a must get! The miso chicken is such a creamy savory dish that has a unique spinach rice on the side. I loved every bite of it. The chicken katsu was crispy to perfection. They have a wide selection of drinks & were affordable. I got the raspberry cosmo and it was sweet & strong just how I liked it. The server was really nice and was attentive to all our requests. They even brought out a free birthday dessert. This place is a nice mansion and has such an amazing homey but fancy vibe. This is definitely one of my favorites in the Metro Detroit area!

    Heard many good things about this restaurant, but it was okay experience at least for our visit. We had a big lunch with seven people on a Thursday. Service was very slow. Did not come to take orders, had to go find a server and once order was placed, the time it took to have our food out was another 30-40 minutes. Food was not as great as we all expected, but more of meeting expectations of any sushi places in the US of mid size cities.

    Have been here a handful of times and always enjoy their sushi. Started off with the shiro salad which has a great ginger dressing. Had a lot of different sushi rolls but loved the red dragon and the salmon sunset. Gyoza is super yummy too. Place is super cool Inside and has an interesting haunted history

    service and sushi rolls were both great! We came a few minutes after they opened at 4 for an early dinner and got sat right away. The dressing on the salad is delicious as well as the spicy garlic edamame! The veggie rolls were refreshing but the spicy mayo wasn't very spicy, almost tasted more sweet :/

    Easily the worst service I have ever experienced, but the food makes up for it. Met my friend here for her birthday dinner, and we weren't greeted by a server until over an hour later, but only after my friend got up and asked another server what was going on. Took another 15 minutes for that server to come back to our table and tell us there was a mixup at the hostess stand so we never had a server to begin with, but that she would be taking care of us. We had plenty of time to look over the menus, so ordered right away. We ordered the spicy garlic edamame, Red Tornado Roll, Las Vegas Roll, and Angry Bird Roll. All of the rolls were amazing. Took a while for the edamame to come, and was severely undercooked. We were so hungry though so didn't bother to say anything about it (and it's not like our server was anywhere to be found anyways). My water cup stayed empty for most of the night. I asked for two sides of spicy mayo with our sushi, and we were halfway through with our sushi when we had to ask a different server to bring some for us. Then when our tiramisu came, our server left the dessert at the very edge of our table... and she kind of pushed that plate against the dirty dishes that were on the table to make room for it. She didn't even bother to clear anything off the table....we were shocked, to say the least, but just ended up stacking all the empty plates and pushed them to the side in order to make some room for us to share the dessert. I think I will be back someday because the sushi rolls were just that good, but being so neglected by our server the entire night left such a bad taste in our mouths. And never once did we get an apology, so not sure what was going on. Hopefully no one else has this bad of an experience!

    Stopped by here as my first meal in Detroit! It was alright. I have high expectations, but honestly it was decent! I'm from a town that has high quality sushi. The service was great and quick. I did find it odd that they told us they were running out of sushi rice at 8pm. But they did close at 9:30pm. So, I understand.

    Do they have gluten free soy sauce and food options?

    I do not know about the soy sauce but some items will be gluten free, such as the sashimi. Outside of sushi, you may struggle with menu as a lot of items have a sauce (which, from my tastebuds, may have soy sauce). I am dairy free and have to… Read more

My go to is the seafood ramen w chili oil (I'd recommend adding chili oil to their broths), as well as the crispy shrimp tempura. An entree w a warm sake hits the spot perfectly!

The service…read morewas good but...we definitely need extra chili oil and black pepper to get flavor in our soups. We went right at 5pm when it opened and all of us felt their dishes were pretty bland. My sister who doesn't like spicy or super flavorful foods liked her shrimp tempura udon though. Honestly, I was expecting more. I wish I would've loved it but didn't. I got the Tonkotsu with spice (didn't taste spicy at all). My hubby liked his Ton-Ton pork ramen. My friend got the Spicy Champon and it was NOT spicy at all. Not sure I'd recommend as our experience was lacking overall. At least they were great about refilling our waters and lots of free parking. I enjoyed the fresh small salad that came with our Ramen, but charging extra for the chili oil was a disappointment as my ramen really needed something extra. Better luck next time.

Ambiance has always stayed the same: cute, cozy, and so comfortable. Now that the booths were removed and they only have regular table seating, service is a bit different (you order at the front or at the kiosk instead of someone taking your order), but I actually love how it all works! From an operational standpoint, I feel like it actually makes things go smoother and faster. Additionally, I don't know if it's just because I haven't had their sushi in a bit, but I felt like their portion sizes actually increased slightly (which is always amazing)!!

The premade food choices are growing by the day. They are always adding to their offerings with new flavors and tastes. I started coming to One world market in 1997 when it was first home by a husband and wife team. It was very special at that time to have a Japanese focused grocery store and I was so happy to have one in the Novi area. This has been my go-to for decades now. When it was transitioning from private ownership to the Noble Village group, owned by True World group, there was a transitional decline, thankfully, that didn't last long and things are developing very nicely. I hear even more growth is on the horizon as they establish an even greater presence in the building next door. I am also thankful that the integrity and the high-quality is very much present and everything they do. The service is always top notch and they try to open up a lot of lanes so people get through quickly because it is busier than ever. The word is definitely out. I've seen a lot of posts on social media and it's bringing in an even greater crowds, which is fantastic! Note: the on-line ordering is also so convenient and their sushi platters are high-level!
