Detroit is well known for great food, from high-end restaurants to hole-in-the-wall finds. However, what the city is not well-known for is its sushi, at least not downtown. Residents know to venture out to Metro to find satisfying fixes for their cravings. The surrounding areas have great options for those looking for fresh and unique rolls, whether you want affordable, mouth-watering takeout or a trendy place to take a client out to lunch. For those who aren’t interested in tracking down mysterious pop-ups, we’ve created a list of our favorite brick-and-mortar sushi joints in Metro Detroit.

Noble Fish

45 E 14 Mile Rd, Clawson, MI 48017 | 248-585-2314

Like many sushi restaurants, Clawson’s Noble Fish is unassuming, located inside a grocery store, with a counter to order your meal instead of waiting to be seated. However, its reputation proceeds itself, pushing scads of Metro Detroiters past appearances and up to the order counter, leaving with delicious take-out. They make over 30 different kinds of rolls, giving you plenty of affordable options because sometimes you just need good sushi without sacrificing your weekly grocery budget.

Ronin

326 W 4th St, Royal Oak, MI 48067 | 248-546-0888

The upscale, pleasant atmosphere at Royal Oak’s Ronin comes at a higher price point than other sushi joints. It’s a great place to enjoy a sit-down meal rather than takeout, with a wide variety of things to try, including unique rolls, options for the non-sushi lover, drinks, and dessert. We suggest stopping by during the happy hour on your first trip.

Ajishin Japanese Restaurant

42270 Grand River Avenue, Novi, MI 48375 | 248-380-9850

Tai Fai in Oak Park is an extremely popular Asian cuisine take-out destination, offering an extensive sushi menu, noodles, fried rice, and signature dishes that keep people coming back. Their name means “great and fast” in Cantonese, and so far, it seems they are living up to it.

Oyaki Sushi Restaurant

26354 Ford Rd, Dearborn Heights, MI 48127 | 313-633-9742

For an option where you can dine in without denting your wallet, venture to Dearborn Height’s Oyaki. Pair the regular staples of sushi, soups, and salad with a unique appetizer or their delectable tempura and noodles. If you’re looking to try something new, go with your gut and get the chef’s special. Their international sushi chef’s craft won’t disappoint.

Maru Sushi & Grill

160 W Fort St, Detroit, MI 48226 | 313-315-3100

Downtown Detroit’s Maru Sushi & Grill came to the area in late 2016, giving residents an upscale sushi option conveniently located in the Federal Building. With sharing plates, salad, soup, hibachi grill items, an extensive drink menu, and well-presented rolls, the Michigan chain is a reliable place to grab great food in a sleek setting. With pricier items, happy hour is an excellent time to visit.
