    tl;dr chicken katsu sando was fantastic, would come back to try the other sandwiches. Classic rolls were also solid, but given the limited number of classic rolls, would probably not return for sushi alone. Service (4.75/5): Our main server was very friendly and gave us a good overview of the menu as it was our first time. They were great and attentive. We were also served by a second server who dropped off our food and disappeared so quickly that we waited a while before they walked by again. When we finally got the chance to ask for soy sauce and sauce dishes, they grabbed the soy sauce from a nearby table and left before we could even get to asking for the sauce dishes. Nothing terrible, but we did feel a little awkward. Food (4/5): Sushi was both good and not good. Of the 3 rolls we ordered, the salmon avocado and tuna avocado were solid; the proportion of fish to rice was great and the fish quality was above average from your typical sushi restaurant. However, the Tigerlily was quite disappointing, especially at $22 for the roll. The roll was torched a bit too long, cooking the salmon almost all the way, but my main gripe was a mysterious creamy sauce that was drizzled on top. The roll ended up being way too heavy and the sauce overpowered the salmon and the little bit of ikura that was sprinkled on top. On the other hand, the chicken katsu sando was really excellent. Chicken was juicy, breading was light and crispy, and the fries were well-seasoned. My only suggestion for the kitchen is to slice the sandwich vertically instead of horizontally; you can see that the bread on half of the sandwich was mostly crust/air instead of the actual bread part. Ambiance (4/5): It's got an upscale, modern feel to it that would probably make a nice environment for a date night or catching up with friends over happy hour. I was there on a Tuesday evening, so it wasn't crowded. There was music playing but it wasn't too loud, so it was easy to have a conversation.

    Beautiful place with a great selection of food and beverages. Absolutely loved the cocktails my friend and I got, and the Chicken Katsu Sando we got was a GREAT size for the price (it's definitely shareable). Host was very nice and server was friendly! Would definitely be back.

    Tigerlily Roll

    TigerLily claims to get daily overnight shipments of fish from Japan. Not sure if it's true but we really enjoyed our meals here! We started with the pork bao buns and the crab rangoon cheese sticks. The cheese sticks were actually pretty good! Same with the buns. The sushi roll was absolutely phenomenal. We also tried the hibachi which was good, but I would definitely order more sushi next time. Our server was also great and everything he suggested was very much enjoyed!

    The establishment, service and food was amazing!! The decor was very inviting, even the bathroom was beautiful . The bartender was so friendly and patient. The flavors of each dish was delicious. I will be heading back asap! Lobster sandwich, and lobster are the dishes I tried.

    Went for brunch and had the honey butter pancakes, they definitely lived up to the hype! Absolutely delicious. The drinks were strong, the service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was great.

    Bao Buns
    Ned I.

    TigerLily offers an extensive menu, featuring some excellent food. The service is friendly and professional, and the interior is spacious. The layout includes three bars: the main bar, the sushi bar, and the tiki bar. The crab rangoon cheese katsu sticks were as good as they sound. I was worried there wouldn't be much crab, but that wasn't the case. The lobster tail robata was easy to peel, and complemented well by its accompaniments. The pork belly robata was tender, while the tare added some sweetness. Of the two, I preferred the pork belly. I've had four of the six bao buns. The chicken had a char flavor, and the steak sauce added some welcome moisture. The filet was tender, with a bold but not overbearing garlic aioli. The pork belly was also tender, glazed with a sweet honey, and balanced by some savory pickles. The sausage had a nice snap, and the Fresno peppers gave it a bit of a kick. The filet and pork belly were my two favorites. The sushi is some of the best I've had locally. The shikotsu roll (wagyu and bone marrow) was incredibly rich and buttery. $36 may seem steep, but it's the most memorable sushi roll I've ever had. The toro (fatty tuna) to caviar was also very impressive, and had soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Here's how I rank the nigiri I've tried: 1. Tamago (omelette) 2. Madai (sea bream) 3. Aji (horse mackerel) 4. Shima Aji (striped jack) 5. Ikura (salmon roe) 6. Uni (sea urchin) Lastly, for dessert, I've had the key lime pie. It was remarkably fluffy and honestly one of the best slices I've had. Simply put, TigerLily blew me away. I can confidently say it's one of my favorite restaurants in the Metro Detroit area. I'll be back soon to try the brunch, noodle, and sandwich options.

    Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place is amazing!!!!!!! I've been wanting to come here for a few years and it was definitely worth the wait. I can see why this place is always busy. Reservations recommended. The Fried Brussels are delicious! The crab Rangoon cheese katsu sticks are really cool and interesting. Like thick mozzarella sticks but with crab Rangoon instead of mozzarella. The Shikotsu Roll is fantastic!!!!!!!! Mind blowing good! Wagyu, butter and miso bone marrow, avocado, shallots, garlic and more. The bone marrow is melted on top of the roll. The Sake Trio roll is really crunchy from the salmon skin and pikachu crunch. I also love the Tigerlily roll with salmon,cucumber, tempura shrimp, and eel sauce. Excellent, friendly, and attentive service. Cool, sleek, modern decor. Amazing experience! Can't wait to come back and try more things!

    Hama Peno Roll
    Lauren K.

    Overall, I thought TigerLily was a fine restaurant. The service was great. Our waitress was very attentive. The atmosphere was very classy and great for date night. We got the karaage chicken bites, which I forgot to take a photo of, but it was a great starter to share with the table. I really liked the hama-peno roll which was nice and fresh. Personally, I was not a fan of the chocolate passion fruit decadence. The chocolate torte was rich and delicious, but the yuzu creme had a weird flavor that I did not think matched the torte at all.

    Double Trouble
    Greg B.

    This is a great space! Light and airy, very comfortable for a group, or an intimate dinner. A waiter was very patient and very nice, he helped us with their selections, and didn't steer us wrong. We definitely enjoyed the spicy dragon roll, however the double trouble was a little rich. I don't necessarily know if I like the heavy sauce that was over the roll. The sriracha and the garlic both tasted good, it was just overpowering.

    First timer but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The restaurant is bright, clean, and vibrant inside. Our server was Israel and he was so patient and friendly and Nate (I believe) brought my friend fruit since she couldn't share my salad with me. We started with the Wasabi Caesar which was one of the best Caesar salads I've had. So fresh! I was craving sushi though! I started with the Tigerlily roll and Israel said it was a good choice, and it really was! Delicious! I really enjoyed it. My friend got the Shrimp Tempura roll and liked it a lot, so we got one more to share! The service was outstanding, the food was amazing, and the drinks were good too! Can't wait to return!

    Aac roll
    Michelle A.

    The thing that strikes me the most about this restaurant is the quality of the ingredients they used. They used bluefin tuna extensively along with real crab. It's little changes like that that elevate the dish beyond other regular sushi offerings. It was so appreciated! We ordered the spicy tuna roll. It had the excellent tuna and then they put yum sauce on it. That was odd because it masked the beautiful taste of the bluefin tuna, and that made it a miss for me. If you order, do yourself a favor and tell them no sauce. The dragon roll had real snow crab inside and eel and avocado on top. This also had a crunchy topping that I would tell them to hold if I did it again. It didn't really add anything to the dish and it obscurred the taste of the tender eel a bit. Not until I broke open a piece to isolate the snow crab could I truly appreciate the delicate flavor. It got a little lost inside the vibrant roll. The red dragon roll was well balanced and exactly what I was expecting. The bluefin tuna could easily shine on top of this roll. And it did. It was rich and succulent. The tigerlilly roll was lovely and topped with salmon and roe. It says on the menu it was torched. Ours was not. It was perfect the way we got it though, so I wouldn't change anything. I also ordered eel sashimi and the avocado, asparagus and cucumber roll for something refreshing. We all shared the rolls as we had drinks at the bar. Our bartender was attentive, friendly, and brought the sushi along with serving us our drinks. The lychee martini was a hit. What an interesting and slightly tart flavor! It was a light-hearted and fun time and I would go back in a heartbeat .

    Breakfast Platter
    Jessy R.

    Strictly a brunch review! First time checking out brunch here and feels like the restaurant is still figuring some things out. While my group came here on a day where the kitchen was short a cook, this could have impacted the food. I ordered the Breakfast Platter with spam and fried rice - overall it was just okay. The fried rice came out and was not remotely hot and the spam was a bit burnt as you can see. The toast did not come with anything to put on it either which I thought was unusual there wasn't even jam to offer. As far as a drink, I ordered the bloody Maria... which will have you on your butt fair warning, but tasty. Our server was great and was upfront about the kitchen staffing and warned us that our food would not come out all at the same time (not a big deal for us). Hoping my experience was just a one time thing and my next visit back will be improved!

    Sarah S.

    We were here for the brunch with a party of 4 and tried a lot of the menu. Everything was good, including the famous pancakes. The espresso martini was refined and delicious. Our server was so friendly and advised us wisely on the menu.

The menu is accessed through a QR code on the table, which I'm personally not a huge fan of since I try to stay off my phone while dining. That said, the menu is extensive with plenty of variety, so there really is something for everyone. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. We ordered the Gyoza, California Roll, Ruby Roll, Tekka Don, and Miso Soup. Everything was good, but the Tekka Don was definitely my favorite, and the Miso Soup was delicious as well. The drinks were probably the biggest disappointment. The beer was overpriced, especially considering the serving sizes and compared to what we've paid for many of the same beers at other restaurants, where they're often available on draft as well. The wine selection could also use some major improvement. Most of the options leaned toward the sweeter side, and the quality just didn't seem to match the quality of the food. Since I couldn't find a wine I wanted, I ordered the Lychee Martini instead. It was okay, but definitely not worth the price, and I wouldn't have ordered a second pretty sweet. The wine and cocktails are priced similarly to what you'd expect to pay for higher-end drinks, but unfortunately, the quality just isn't there. These felt more like $7 drinks being sold at premium prices. Even the presentation of my martini was a little strange--it was garnished with two loose flower petals rather than a full flower, which looked more odd than intentional. Unfortunately, the drink selection would probably be the biggest reason we'd choose carryout or another restaurant next time. When I go out for dinner, having a really good glass of wine or a well-made cocktail is part of the experience for me, especially when the drinks are priced at a premium. Service was friendly, and our server was helpful and knowledgeable, but unfortunately it was slow. It took a while to get drinks, additional soy sauce, or have someone check back with us, and we had to flag our server down several times. To be fair, they definitely weren't standing around doing nothing. Bash seemed to have a steady stream of carryout orders, and our server spent much of our visit packing those orders. We actually felt bad for how slammed they were compared to the rest of the servers. It seems like they either need a dedicated person handling carryout or additional staff so the dine in service doesn't suffer when takeout is busy. Overall, the food was excellent and absolutely worth returning for. With some improvements to the drink selection and staffing, the dine in experience could be just as good as the food.
