I'm typically not a fan of airport food; it's often low-budget, low-effort, calorie-dense foods at a premium price. This place offered a nice variety of options that felt nicer than sitting on a flight with a gut full of grease (teriyaki chicken and rice, variety of broths/noodles, specialty rolls, vegan options). I ordered the crispy lovely specialty roll, which featured shrimp tempura, soft shell crab, lobster salad, avocado, and cucumber. Super good and surprisingly delicious for airport food. My travel companion was happy with the teriyaki chicken meal. Features a bar to sit at or tables. Terminal A. read more

Great sushi and great service. Pricing inline with your typical increase in $ when dining in an airport. Had 2 Rainbow rolls and they hit the spot. Will certainly eat here again. read more

Usually I don't bother with airport restaurants cuz... well, they're airport restaurants. But this one takes the cake in terms of bad food, worse pricing and worst service. Came in on a Friday around 11:00am with a coworker to grab a bite before my flight. Place was severely understaffed with the "please seat yourself" sign off to the side that most people missed it. Sat down, waited 10 minutes for the lone lady server to finally notice us and take our order. Food came out 10 min later (not bad) but the order was wrong. As she took away the wrong order she said out loud "its almost lunchtime, I don't even care at this point." Noticed people who came after us also were confused whether to seat themselves or wait. Some made it over to the far side of the dining area where they sat until the server noticed them and told them that area is closed (no such sign posted). Then she walked over to the bar to tell the people waiting there that the bar is closed (again, no such sign posted). Overall a complete shitshow. But the spicy ramen wasn't half bad. read more

Nice Japanese restaurant, ramen was good and sashimi was decent (a bit pricey/overpriced but what airport food is not amirite) what shines here is the service - very attentive and accommodating. Also near Gates A30-38 with convenient access to your flight and interior environs have tables, seats and TVs. Check it out if you are ever in the Detroit Airport! read more

I had their ramen while waiting for my flight and it was okay. They weren't busy at all so there was no wait time which is a plus. The ramen tasted normal, portion was decent but on the pricier side. Some of the ingredients they added like the pickled vegetables, wasn't a huge fan of them but they tasted fine. The ramen broth wasn't as rich as I was hoping for in a ramen broth. read more

Bartender is outstanding. The way the place is run is unsustainable. No ginger salad for 6 months. Why on menu? Nor brown rice no cucumbers. Arrive and sushi is 45-1 hr so choose the kitchen. On my way out, no one in kitchen it's closed, sushi only. 1 sushi chef for a big place, people leaving left and right. Half the menu unavailable. This place is a walking time-bomb. Mismanaged to the MAX! Great workers and employees though. read more

The service from the waitstaff was very poor. We arrived first, and then three or four other groups arrived and were also waiting to be served. After sitting for 10-15 minutes, no one came to assist us. We approached one of the servers and politely asked whether we should order our food at the counter or wait for someone to take our order. The response we received was very unprofessional. After that, the server went on to serve tables that had arrived after us, while we were still being ignored. It made us feel completely unappreciated as customers. We were connecting to another flight and did not have unlimited time to wait. Because of the poor service and lack of attention, we decided to leave and buy food somewhere else. read more

Sora Sushi used to be my favorite spot for airport sushi, and the food itself still holds up. The salmon sushi is big, fresh, and delicious--though at $8 a piece, it's a splurge. I also tried the gyoza ramen, which leaned salty but was still flavorful. The problem is the service. I sat at the sushi bar, which hadn't been cleaned, and watched my sushi sit on the counter for nearly ten minutes before it made its six-foot journey to me. In an airport, that kind of indifference feels worse. Quickness matters here, but the staff just didn't seem to care. Great food, frustrating experience. read more

Please stay away, this place is not tasty at all :( Ordered the miso ramen and there was no flavor, like none. Super surprising. Take a look at the photos on yelp and you'll find a similar consensus about the food. read more

Food was terrible - don't get the chicken teriyaki with the boiled baby carrots and broccoli with no seasoning! Worse - Service was terrible! No basic greeting, forgot to bring my drink. Just brought a cup of water. Waited 15 minutes for her to bring my check. Other servers couldn't ring me through because she had left the restaurant with her card. She finally returned gabbing on her phone about Japan like she was an expert. Still in spite of all this crummy food and service, I'm such a softy! I stupidly left a tip! -Would you? read more

Sora - Restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Took almost a half hour for my drink order. Three separate tables sat after me and got their drinks / food before i was acknowledged. Server was kind once she came over but it wasn't crowded enough for ramen and a drink to take close to an hour. Ramen was decent but very salty towards the end. Will not be back. read more

Sofa is a favorite stop of mine in the Detroit airport. I have eaten here on many occasions and always enjoyed the food. The service the last time I was there was a bit slow and I am glad that I did not have a tight connecting flight. It's not the best so she in the world, but it is a lot better than most especially for an airport. I've also had the noodle dishes on several locations and really enjoyed them. For an airport this is an excellent place to eat. read more

I used to come to this spot a lot but now the food quality has deteriorated, I ordered a tempura udon, the broth was absolutely tasteless and shrimp tempuras were tiny. Will never eat here again! read more

I stopped at Sora Sushi Bar while passing through the Detroit Airport. I understand airport dining is often hectic, but this place felt very understaffed. When I first walked in, I stood around for a while unsure if anyone was going to greet me. Eventually, one of the sushi chefs behind the bar told me to have a seat, so I sat down. It took about ten minutes before the waitress came over to take my order. The sushi itself came out quickly, but the drink took much longer. I could tell she was working hard since she appeared to be the only server on duty, but there was no clear sign or system for seating, which was confusing. While I was there I saw several other guests come in and hesitate, not knowing whether to seat themselves or wait. It felt a little unorganized and off putting. I ordered one sushi roll and one beer and my bill came out to around forty four dollars plus tip. Definitely pricey for a single roll and drink, but to be fair the sushi roll was absolutely delicious. The quality and flavor were excellent and I would order it again. Overall, the sushi itself was great, but the lack of staffing, unclear seating process, and high prices made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been. read more

Please avoid this place if you can. We ordered the udons noodle soup, but no flavor or taste at all. This is sushi restaurant, but they said out of sushi. read more

I am a frequent flier through DTW and have been grabbing meals here for years. Unfortunately, the quality has gotten worse and worse every time. Years ago, there were tasty and fresh sushi options available on the menu, but recently, the sushi menu has shrank and the quality has tanked. We paid $10 for a single piece (that's omakase pricing!) of plain tuna nigiri. The tuna was dry and falling apart, and the rice was definitely not fresh or seasoned. We also got a sushi roll. The masago (fish eggs) tasted absolutely rotten and spoiled the taste of the roll it was paired with. The only ok dish was the tempura udon. Plain tasting, but edible. I used to get a fresh chirashi from this place years ago. What happened? read more

The line was a bit long, but the waitress was very kind and quick. At first glance, the ramen bowl looked a bit busy and I had hoped for more broth. But it's actually just the right amount. I didn't care for the bamboo shoots, and the gyoza was a bit tough, but the ramen and broth were quite tasty. Here's the menu online with hopefully more up-to-date pricing. https://cdn.flowcode.com/prodassets/0836_03_7803_DTW_Sora_Trifold_FNL.pdf?ts=1748619561&fce_id=5363cec5-2c41-4a63-ba33-897d0a19d4c1 read more

Wednesday 7am. We were told by one staff that they will open at 7:30am. Another staff let us in when the other staff was gone. Had Tempura Udon. Soup broth had no flavor, so the entire udon had no taste. Costs $18. I will not be back. read more

Sora - Tempura Udon $18 7/31/2024 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I was really looking forward to eating some sushi before my flight. I wanted to order a speciality roll but they told me that the sushi chef was new and couldn't make pretty much anything except the traditional rolls (Cali, Philly, etc). They couldn't even make the nigiri...I was pretty disappointed and ended up just getting a Philly roll. The service was so-so, one of the waiters was pretty responsive but the other one just looked over it. The prices are a bit outrageous. It was $7 for a miso soup, and specialty rolls are close to $30. Given the quality of the rolls I don't think this place is worth it for the sushi at least. They seem to have a ton of udon and ramen so maybe that might be your best bet instead. Overall, I don't think I would choose this place again if I were in the DTW airport. read more

Sora - Philly roll with avocado - Sushi Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Huge mistake. I usually get a ribeye when traveling through DTW but this trip I decided to mix things up and try the Sora sushi bar. I ordered a rainbow roll and a tempura shrimp roll, and neither was very impressive. The rainbow roll was substantially smaller than any rainbow roll I can remember having--heavy on rice, extremely light on everything else. But if that was the only issue, I'd probably have walked away and not posted anything. The real disappointment was the tempura shrimp roll. Generally speaking, when you order a tempura anything roll it's implied that the "anything" will be tempura fried, and thus the expectation is that you'll get a roll with hot tempura battered yumminess inside. Not at Sora. The tempura shrimp came straight from the refrigerator and onto the roll in its cold, congealed greasy state. One of the worst rolls I have had anywhere. And what was next level frustrating was my server, seeing I ate just one piece of the cold tempura shrimp roll, didn't acknowledge it, didn't ask if I enjoyed my meal, basically didn't care that I stopped by to give Sora a try. I won't be back. read more

Bland food that's over priced. The service was ridiculous. Asked for a fork with the sushi since I'm chopstick changed, ended up eating with my fingers because it never came. Asked for one refill and it took so long I actually went to an and bought my own after waiting and when I got back it had still never came. read more

I've been here many times over the years but this is my first visit in a while. I think they remodeled the space and the menu has changed quite a bit, it is much more limited than I remember from say 5 years ago. Agedashi tofu was decent, though the dashi taste could be better. It has a strange stretchy texture a bit like chewing gum. Spicy ramen oddly has some sweetness to it, and the broth doesn't taste quite right for ramen. I think it's lacking depth. Spicy lovely roll has a good amount of spice and is fairly large. Prices are quite high compared to what I remember before covid, this meal came to $65 before tip! I know it's the airport, but almost $25 for ramen? Overall it doesn't feel worth the price anymore. read more

Sora - Spicy ramen, agedashi tofu, and spicy lovely roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I felt compelled to write this review because I was honestly shocked by the lack of hospitality from the servers and hostesses here. I made two stops at this location--once on my way to Kentucky and again on my way back to Seattle--and both times, the service left much to be desired. The hostesses and servers didn't seem very welcoming, almost brushing us off. For example, I asked if I could substitute salmon for tuna in the poke bowl (it didn't seem like a big ask), and the response was simply, "Nope, can't do it." While the food itself was good, I think they could really benefit from hiring friendlier staff who make customers feel more valued and welcome. When we walked up they weren't welcoming as well . Like smile a little bit . I know her name but thought I'll be nice and not blast her name on yelp. read more

Pro tip, there is a PFChanges past it. I ate here...salty ramen and not good roll. I ate it as I was starving then got sad when I left and I saw the PFChangs :( chain yes but much better than the salt lick I received. I never complain about ramen either. ...generally love it every time. ****I could also see how this place could be hit or miss. The person cooking today was not good. Service was great. read more

I wanted something simple and not raw, and I ---thought--- a simple fish-broth udon with hard boiled egg and fish cake would do it because it seems hard to mess up. But they managed to serve me one of the worst meals I have ever had. The hard boiled egg's white was separated into layers and the yolk was crumbly, so it had clearly been frozen. The broth smelled like bad fish, the noodles were chewy, and there was no fish cake. Did not finish my meal either. I am frankly a little concerned I will get food poisoning. And oh how I hate complaining about bad service because waiting tables is hard, doesn't generally pay well and customers can be real jerks, but when they are nice to everyone but me I will make an exception. I really try to be an easy customer, I make my mind up fast, I don't ask for menu changes, I always say please and thank you, I'm in and out of there so I don't occupy a table for no reason, and I smile. This wasn't enough I guess, maybe because I didn't order drinks, because she practically slammed the water on my table and threw the straw down. She ignored me the entire rest of the meal until she saw I wasn't eating any more and took her time bringing a check (dumb idea dear, if you want me out of there so you can get a better tip from someone else? Maybe bring the check sooner). I noticed her being nice to the people who did order drinks. Lady I am sorry for whatever you are going through but I didn't flipping do it. Take it up with whoever did. Entire experience was absolutely awful. I will be flying through DTW again more than once, but I ain't going back there; even if everything else is closed, I would rather go hungry. read more

Went to try their Miso soup. Last time I went it was very strong and salty. This time, it was a bit less sharp, but still very salty. I usually eat low salt, so I had to ask for some hot water and add it to my soup. I should have gotten a sushi roll....that usually is less seasoned.... read more

worst service ever to be honest. you seat yourself, which isn't an issue, but the waitresses choose who to go to first. everyone that came in after me ordered and got their food before i ordered. 0/10 experience. terrible staff. needs a better system. they were honestly very rude. read more

Solid 3 stars, average. I got the miso ramen. The broth was decent but once I got to the bottom I found miso paste which meant it wasn't mixed carefully. Meat was overcooked, dry. But overall it was fine. Not bad but not particularly good, either. Their hot green tea tasted pretty decent. Given the dusty sediment it's probably a bag, but they at least brewed it correctly, which is a plus. It's $4 for hot tea, by the way, which is not explicitly on the menu. Given their extremely limited sashimi menu, I didn't trust it. Might be safer to avoid since the quality is questionable. My service was fine. Not lightning fast but not too slow either. Overall, it was fine but I'd probably try a different place in this terminal before coming back to this. read more

Arrived at DTW as a lay over to my Los Angeles flight and thought this place would be a good go to dinner on my way to LA. First impression of this restaurant was not pleasant. The host/server was very rude and didn't seem to want to take my order. She rudely walked off after I told her I want to order a breakfast bowl. I finally got her attention again after being ignored but still she looks very unhappy. My food finally came out after 15-20 minutes and when I got the chance to sit down to eat it, it was very bland with no flavor. For a $30 roll I would have expected a lot more than bland flavor sushi. Not only that it left a very bitter taste and left me with a very upset stomach. I'm pretty disappointed. I would not recommend this place. They need to have welcoming service and better tasting sushi especially if I'm paying $30 for just 1 roll. read more

Sora - Crispy Vegas Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

The service here is very, very bad. I ordered one roll - the most expensive one on the menu at $29 - which is insane even for good sushi but I'm traveling on someone else's dime so I didn't care. It never came, and I was sitting at the sushi bar right next to the staff making the food. They knew I was there and what I ordered, yet I saw table after table come and go that got there long after me. The server (who must have a hard life because she was a miserable person) just kept saying "it was coming." Meanwhile, she stood around with the rest of the staff talking about how she couldn't wait to leave and fly to Hawaii on vacation. The male staff were standing around behind the bar, throwing things at each other, bouncing a ball back and forth, and using racial slurs loud and proud. Does nobody manage these people? Based on the plethora of bad reviews, it appears not. Anyway, can't rate the food itself because I got up and left after an hour and the server said "have a good night!" in the most cheerful tone she had used the whole time I was there. I think the people who work here are unemployable, so they get a job here because it seems like the only business that will take anyone and not fire them. Go to Andiamo - much friendlier people there. read more

Wow worst food I ever had.. servers were really rude and they "accidentally" put spoon inside my udon. Didn't even apologize just said ooops and didn't even gave me new spoon. And udon tastes like nothing. And it was $24. Never gave me refills on my drinks :( read more

My diet is a little more paleo than standard American, and that's why I came here - sushi in the airport! Sweet! (no, I'm no fool, I know it's not *good* fish) It took almost 10 minutes for my server to check in which I should have noted as a major issue and left at that point, but I didn't. I had an hour until boarding. When she finally did show up, she did not bring me water. She told me the sushi counter was backed up by 45 minutes and asked if she could get me a drink. THIS IS AN AIRPORT RESTAURANT; it is never ok to have a 45 minute delay in food delivery. The rest of the menu is carb heavy and inevitably incredibly salty, really boring "asian" menu, nothing remotely interesting to speak of that I wanted to order. I walked out and went to order Coney Dogs by my gate. Almost wasn't able to get food at all because of how slow my server was. I will not try again with this place unless the recent reviews get a lot better. read more

Stopped by on a recent flight from DTW and ordered the spicy beef udon noodles. While the portion size was pretty filling, it was very pricey in my opinion ($22+) and had a slightly sweet undertone to it that reminded me more of bbq sauce than authentic udon soup. I would have also liked some more beef. It wasn't the best, but not the worst either! Service was fairly quick and I was able to get a seat and go in and out without much issue.
