I really enjoyed the poke bowl and sweet potato roll! We ordered inside the restaurant and took it to go, it was ready in less than 4 minutes. The fish and other ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Perfect amount of sauce and toppings and it was pretty filling! The restaurant was clean and well decorated with comfy booths and some high top tables. Prices were fair and the woman who helped us was nice. read more

Sushi Japan - Tuna Poke Bowl and Sweet Potato Roll/ - Japanese Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Let's start with the name of this place - it's an issue. It does not do justice to the breadth of the menu that they offer. Fortunately, I had heard that they had a lot more to offer, but not every potential customer has that benefit. Also, I had to get past the fact that the last time I was in this space it was an Einstein Bagels. It looks totally different, but I used to spend a lot of time there and it was kind of weird to be back. On to the important stuff - the food! I juts stopped in on an unplanned visit while I was in town for something else and decided to bring home dinner for me and my wife. I kept my choices conservative and got stuff I knew she would like - fried dumplings, chicken fried rice and orange chicken. While my choices were not very adventurous, everything was really good! We look forward to going back and trying out more of the menu! read more

Classic Asian restaurant with great quality food and quick service. We enjoyed a couple of apps as well as entrees and everything was delicious. Started off with some sushi and Korean chicken. Then for dinner had stir fried chicken, bomb m noo. Sushi, and a poke bowl. Really loved everything as was very fresh. Loved the combo of the polo the best tho. Recommend!! read more

I wish I could give this place 10 stars... the food was all super yummy. Everything we tried was delicious and fresh! The service is what we totally fell in love with- wish I remembered our servers name :( she is the sweetest and most fun ever! If I lived here this would be my go to sushi spot. Thank you so much for the great food and excellent service read more

Favorite sushi in town!!! Service isn't always the best, but the food makes up for it. So yummy and always a good experience!

A good go-to spot that is not too pricey and doesn't have too many extra bells and whistles. The service was nice and fast, and they were really kind. Everything was really solid but nothing stood out. The fish was fresh but didn't melt in your mouth fresh, but glad there weren't rolls with massive amounts of cream cheese. read more

Sushi Japan - Japanese Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Taking all things into consideration, knowing I'm coming in during the evening on Memorial Day. As soon as I walked in I noticed the absence of sound. Which could be good or bad depending on the person. No music was heard and minimal chatter. A calming place indeed. Only one server on deck and seems to be working dine out orders as well. Wonton soup - 8/10 ----homemade dumplings are always great to see. And the sesame oil was definitely present. Kung Pao Chicken - 10/10 ----lean chicken and easy to chew. The texture was on point along with the sauce. Cooked carrots, celery, and onions mixed in. I cant critique this. Grilled Chicken roll - 7/10 ---- very tasty, although dry. Might be a good idea to pair with spicy mayo. Could not find a teriyaki chicken roll. But if they had it, I would've ordered that instead. Overall - 4/5 ---- pretty good spot amongst even more boujee restaurants. Doesn't specialize in just rolls but is a mix of all Asian foods. So if you don't like sushi, don't hesitate to try this place! read more

Horrible customer service, went back to ask for soy sauce for order they act as if they do not speak English, could not provide soy sauce for a customer order with the sushi rolls. Yes Sushi Japan. Worst sushi place not only for the food but for service. I highly recommend all other places in Birmingham and Clawson that provide sushi and Japanese cuisine! read more

OK right up front let me say that this review relates to Sushi. The first word in the restaurant's name is sushi. So, perhaps foolishly, I expected them to specialize in sushi. Turns out many of the best reviews relate to the great Bi-Bim-Bap. Bibimbap is KOREAN, and a mixed bowl--NOTHING to do with either sushi or Japan. And then other people like General Tso Chicken. Again, Chinese (not Japan) and fried (not sushi). Naively, we ordered an unagi and avocado roll, a spicy tuna roll, and a tiger tempora roll. All were very average. None of the fish seemed particularly fresh, and the tempura tasted of old, over-used grease. The service was ok, but limited since we ordered takeout. Ambience--place looks cute outside and was half full. Just kinda "meh." So ratings--first 0 for the name. It should be called FUSION instead of Sushi and ASIAN instead of Japan. Sushi --3 very average. Everything else--meh. Will I rush back--NO. I suggest Adachi, which is about a block away, or Ronin in Royal Oak, or Noble Fish in Troy, all of which have far far better sushi. read more

Open until 9pm or so. Interior decor is nice. I smell some ammonia from their cleaning products or something as we walked to our table. Ordered the bomber, california and two ginger salads and a chicken bibimbap with a well done fried egg. $44.73 for our total. $1 for a small ramekin of sriracha here. The ginger house salad isn't too bad. Iceberg lettuce in the salads. They put kale in the bibimbap instead of spinach here. Spinach would be better for me. I had one gristly chicken piece in the couple of chicken bites for me. The bibimbap had a nice crunchy bottom to it. The bomber roll is good. Then again anything fried is good for the most part. The California roll wasn't bad. The bomber takes the forefront of the meal. Service was decent, not warm or friendly. The waitress gave me the hand once to tell me to wait for her to get something to write down the entree for us as well. The guy that brought us our bill was friendlier and warmer for sure. We were charged $1 for the small ramekin of sriracha. They didn't tell us when we ordered either, would be okay paying for it, so long as we are told ahead is all. read more

This place has become my go-to sushi place. It's not flashy or pretentious, but just well priced, good quality food. Service at times can be on a slow side (perhaps understaffed) but always polite. Everything I tried was good- wanton soup, hot n sour sauce, Korean pancake. But my personal favorite is Torched salmon roll. They also serve saki, and it looks like outdoor seating will be available as well. read more

So glad we stopped here while experiencing the Dream Cruise! We ordered the cucumber salad, chef's special roll, and sea salt caramel cake. 5/5 for the food, service, and speed! we got our salad and roll in under 7 min. the menu didn't mention that the salad came with crab, so that was a very pleasant surprise! the fish in the roll tasted v fresh. waitress was so kind and friendly. there was some confusion with the dessert - we ordered the caramel cake but we're given a lemon cake instead. she was very apologetic and said they had run out of the caramel so we could have the lemon cake on the house!! will def be back. read more

Sushi Japan - Yellowtail Pepper Roll - Japanese Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

We came in and waited 30 minutes to order, they took other peoples order first when we clearly came in before them.

Sushi was pretty good. Hot and sour soup pretty good too. Kung pao chicken was terrible! Almost no vegetables in it and it tasted like chicken covered in soy sauce. No spice or kung pao flavoring at all. My friend's orange chicken was good though. I will go back but will order differently. read more

Worst restaurant in Birmingham, absolutely appalling food. What a shame to have "Japan" in their name, this place has nothing to do with Japanese food. Do not waste your money. read more

This new restaurant will be my place for everything sushi. I visited on a weekend with friends, and I love the laid-back, clean, and sleek decor. Service was quick, and the server was friendly and nice to talk to. Above all, food was the best. I got chicken bibimbap on a sizzling hot stone bowl, chicken somen noodle soup, and a couple of sushi rolls (bomber, fire cracker, salmon and avocado roll, and spicy salmon roll) as well as sashimi (tuna, yellowtail) that were fresh and filling. Sushi rice had a much better flavor than the other sushi restaurants in downtown. Quality sushi. Definitely will be back. read more

I did not find their sushi very good! I only ordered the shrimp tempura roll, something no sushi place should get wrong. The rolls are sliced very thin, and you receive six, so in actuality it's more like 3! What I didn't like was that I could taste the grease on the shrimp, not sure if it needed to be changed or what, but not good! Not worth $11 read more

Cute atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. The sushi was fresh and the tofu bibimbap was delicious. It's a very easy place to pop in and have a good time and a good meal! read more

The food was excellent, the ambiance had a lot of potential and the people were very nice. The reason it's not 5 stars is that the service was very very very very very slow. No one saw us behind the line of people waiting for DoorDash pick up. And the ambiance is seriously hampered by a lot of people waiting in the middle of the restaurant. Please make people wait near the entrance, hire a hostess and a few more waiters if you want to remain full service dine in. Or go all the way and make yourself a self serve place like a chipotle and make your prices reflect that. read more

Very cozy inside the food is quite tasty. The staff is great very professional. It's very clean. I like the caterpillar roll and the chef special roll but also their appetizer spring rolls are quite good, if not a bit greasy because they're fried - but that's the nature of fried. read more

Let me start with the positive. I thought it was decorated really well. Just a cute little place within walking distance of my job. I don't care for sushi but wanted something different from the places I normally eat at. I ordered orange chicken which came with a lump of plain tasteless white rice. It just didn't taste fresh so didn't eat a lot of it. When I got back to work I literally ran to the bathroom and that lasted for three days. There is no way I can recommend this restaurant. I see other people enjoy it, just not for me. read more

I like the ambience of this Japanese restaurant. It's very simple and clean. We came at an off rush hour like a late lunch and ordered sushi roll, vegetable tempura, pokey bowl and edamame. You can't go wrong with these orders. read more

Doesn't look like much when I walk pass but I was craving sushi one time and somehow decided to walk in and wow! This place is so much better than I thought. The ambience is LOVELY! The interior is sleek, clean, and actually feels more upscale than I expected, but the menu and price itself is more casual. Service was great and staff is very friendly. The music is calm and creates a nice atmosphere (which people don't usually pay attention to but really sometimes make a real difference). Anyway, let's talk food. I ordered veggie tempura, triple roll (salmon, escolar, tuna in rice topped with masago), chef special roll (spicy tuna and avocado roll topped with escolar and tricolor tobiko and masago, and sweet potato tempura roll in the last minute because I'm still not full. Sometimes my stomach capacity surprises me. The fish are fresh and rice:filling ratio is just perfect. I'm tired of placed that has so much rice and stingy with their protein, so this is perfect. The tempura is so crunchy and it tastes amazing hot. The sweet potato tempura roll is BOMB. It is, I have to be honest, carbs on carbs, but come on, isn't it all the better reason to love it? It's SO good. This comes from a non-vegan who think veggie sushi is not real sushi. I devour the whole thing by myself and honestly I feel great afterwards and yes I would highly recommend this place! Price is reasonable if your appetite is also reasonable I mean I had quite a pricey meal for one because I eat for 2-3 people read more

I go there often and really enjoy the food with classical music playing at just the right volume

I was visiting friends and we ordered sushi Japan for lunch. I ordered quite a few things to be delivered through Grubhub on a whole everything was fine, but two dishes were horrible. The steam dumplings were literally raw and a beef dish I ordered had no sauce that's in the photo and the description and it was really dry so I complained to Grubhub. they reimbursed me for the two items out of probably 12 items that were ordered which I appreciated. 30 minutes later my phone is ringing and it's someone from sushi Japan yelling at me for complaining about their food. I was trying to explain what was wrong and the person that called me was incredibly rude so I told her I had nothing further to say they should be talking to Grubhub and hung up. They proceeded to repeatedly call me until I blocked their number. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care how good this restaurant might be for some people. I am never going back or recommending a place who treats customers so horribly. read more

I love their dragon and caterpillar rolls as well as their edamame and miso soup. The workers are aways sweet and the area is clean and relaxing. It is not coast sushi, but it does its best! read more

Good sushi spot in Birmingham. Their sushi is always fresh and flavorful with standard and non-standard rolls available. Try the torched salmon, it's sweet but very flavorful. Their non sushi items are also very good specifically their Poke bowls, udon soup and bibimbap bowl. My only complaint is the atmosphere is lacking. If they changed the music and created a better vibe this would be the best sushi spot in the city. Their food is very good, but hard to take clients or have date night with my wife as the atmosphere is too lack luster and it shows with fewer diners at peek dinner hours than nearby lesser quality sushi spots. read more

Terrific sushi. As good as any and MJL I'm Troy has good bit this is cozy. They are very nice and generous and the portion size and the price was very good read more

Glasses and plates were dirty, waistress snatched receipt with a attitude after not receiving tip. Food was raw.

You can't go wrong with this restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is great. Right in downtown Birmingham. Lovely atmosphere, and it has become our go to sushi restaurant. But lots of other great dishes, too. Five stars. read more

My favorite sushi in the area. The jalapeño roll deserves a Michelin star, end of story. No trip to Birmingham is complete without a stop here. read more

The price, quality and quantity were all very good. The service was horrendous but the rest of the pluses made up for the extremely slow service. What was most st disappointing was there were only 8 customers. I am typically pretty patient with restaurants due to workforce issues but this was just a really bad waitress. But they still get 5 stars. read more
