Ordered an eel avocado and tuna roll for a late lunch, just after 1pm. It was about $16. Presentation was basically supermarket style, as expected & easy to carry out. Rolled both for me in just under 10 minutes. Rice was good, sticky and vinegary as expected, and the tuna and eel quality were great; eel was a bit smaller with a bit more skin than usual, but very tasty and not too saucy. Only drawback was portions were a bit small for the price compared to Naruto Sushi where I've gone a lot (in Sterling Heights).
We used to always frequent the Cafe Sushi sit down restaurant before they closed. Now they have a small place that's basically take out only. I thought the sushi was just as good. We got our favorite...The Block roll!! We really missed this roll. We also got triple spicy tuna, spicy California and crab Rangoon. Everything was great!
Love Love this place. This is the same place that was near the walmart on 15 mile. This is on Maple $ Crookes. Same building as Starbucks. If you wondering if this was the amazing place that was near the walmart. They moved locations after covid. Their menu is amazing. I suggest their lomein. They are the only place i can find skinny noodles like this. The sushi amazing too. This place is a must try!
I'm about to drop a truth bomb that just might break Yelp. Brace for impact: My first experience at Cafe Sushi was better than my first experience at Noble Fish. Periot. For starters, they were open when I needed them to be - no weird or random closures. Crooks and Maple, next to T-mobile. A very cute little scene (dining room currently closed), but I would hardly consider this a store front. Yes, the sushi counter/case is literally RIGHT in your face when you walk in - who doesn't want this?! They have no choice BUT to keep it clean! Everything was clean and fresh and right there to see. The lady running the place was polite and professional, no complaints. She said the order would be ready in 20 minutes, it was ready in 20 minutes. She greeted her regulars on the phone by name and even remembered some of their orders. The only disappointment was not being able to sit and experience the coziness and inviting feeling of the dining room, to no fault of theirs! I look forward to a day when places like this can fully re-open. And now, the food. 5 stars for freshness and quality. Not one SINGLE funky piece of fish. No weird strings of hard-to-chew fat in the salmon, you know what I'm talking about. I won't even try to go into detail. Just observe this fine work of art. This is what 20 minutes and $61.00 for a carry-out at Cafe Sushi gets you (miso soup not pictured). Now tell me this isn't worth it. I'll wait.
They're down to a very small storefront with just a few booths- there once was a gorgeous larger restaurant with full sushi bar/high top and a happy hour everyday- Now it seems primarily focused on take out but if you get lucky, you can sit and eat too. I always order the chirashi at a sushi place because I'm fish forward- less add-ins- and it tasted fresh, delicious and presented well on a sturdy bowl of rice. ($24) You beverage choices are down to bottled water basically with the loss of real sit down dining- I assume the overhead was too much during Covid and take-out helped them survive.
The best sushi I have ever had! Must try the Jamison roll - crab and avocado can't go wrong. General Tso bento is great! Husband thinks the have they best hot and sour soup too. Only drawback is that the restrooms are ice cold in the Fall and Winter. Nov 2016 update: Yeah agree with other reviews that waitstaff are sometimes not the most attentive but the food is still great. We now live an hour away and carve out time to change me here.
