    Left-Large Spicy Tuna Roll (ask for the large roll!)  Right-Spicy Scallop Roll
    Vic N.

    Crazy Sushi is AMAZING! Probably one of the BEST sushi joints out there! Trust me! I have travelled to Japan! This truly is an authentic place! Pros: 1. Authentic food 2. The texture of the Tuna is unlike any other! It seriously is the best! He cuts the tuna very fine, as opposed to Noble Fish that chooses to use larger chunks! I love Noble Fish, but this Tuna roll kills theirs! 3. They have incredible baked rolls! I hate sweet crap, hence I stick with the yellow stove baked roll! It will take a minimum of 20 minutes to make, but it's well worth it! 4. Try the fried calamari roll as well! It's fantastic. 5. So, do you remember what to get! a. Large Spicy Tuna Roll b. Yellow Stone Baked Roll c. Spicy Scallop Roll d. Fried Calamari Roll Cons: 1. They are located in Madison Heights, on John R, between 12 and 13. That's okay, however, the sign has died and is not lit. It makes the place hard to find. 2. The owner can sometimes be grumpy. However, he is nice most of the time! He's actually Korean! 3. The times are usually longer. The owner is a I've man show, therefore; your order may take around 3p minutes to make. Overall, I love this place! If you are a Sushi Lover, this is the place to BE! Love you, CRAZY SUSHI!

    White Christmas baked roll !

    Very impressed! This tiny gem has been here for 13 years and I wish I knew sooner! The owner is very nice and the place is clean.i got my classic favorite the eel and cucumber roll and then tried something fun and "crazy" and I got the White Christmas baked roll and it was out of this world! I will definitely be back. It is a small place and he told me over 90% of his business is done carry out with good reason no more that 5 people could be eating in at a time. Non the less highly recommend.

    Don't be put off by the size of the place as it's more important the food they put out, no? There are 2 small tables for dining and a long bench for about 4-5 people along the sushi bar. The owner is a one man show, host, the sushi chef and takes the order, and bring out the food and rings you up at the end. We were told to write down our order by the long counter when we walked in with a lined yellow sticky note, small referenced menu affixed to the counter and a poster of the menu with small print on the wall behind the counter. We gave the owner our order and he told us that there were 3 orders before us when we told him we were eating inside. He told us to sit tight as he put out his orders. Do keep your coat on since it's such a small place the cold air from the outside door opening rushes in quick to cool the inside and the patrons. Although I don't expect the wait to be of the same time span of 45min to an hour like at noble fish. We shall see. We are hoping for some yummy sushi since that's all he does, no frills. There is seaweed salad but no house salad available and they do offer miso soup and a few apps and fried items to share the meal, but clearly the focus is on the sushi. At least there are a few interesting articles on the wall to pass the time some about the different sushi, nori story, sushi and soy sauce partnership and et al. Looks like most of the regulars carry out their food here and don't bother wasting time eating in this small place, I get why now. The owner seems friendly enough and busts his butt the entire time there since he's on his own. No overhead to worry about at least. The small tables are on the dirty side, want to clean them so bad, but no water or anything to use to wipe up the table some. Oh and they sell cans of soda or bottles or water or tea in a cooler. I did ask for something to wipe the table off with and the owner told me to have a seat and said "I got it", I sat down. Don't think you will get a glass of water or tea here, just keep reminding yourself it's all about the sushi and nothing more. The owner came out a littler over 20 minutes after we put the order in to wipe down our table. He said 95% of his orders are carry out and that's why he works alone. He said he would be starting our order now. The 4th customer to come in referred to the owner as Lee, looks like most of his peeps are regulars and dedicated on this snow flurry evening. The 5th guy made small talk with the owner and he clearly has a lot of regular customers. The miso is good but a ton of scallions in it, more than I would have expected but still decent. Our sushi order took about 35 minutes to be made and brought out to us, keep that in mind if you want something quick. The shrimp Cali was good and so were the Cali special rolls with the cream cheese and scallions and the avocado were freshly cut for our rolls. My husband enjoyed his crunchy roll the most. Sushi was good overall for a no frills spot. We would come back for more sushi, just keeping in mind the time delay to get our order.

    I'm giving it 5 for how good it is and how nice the owner is. I'd give it a 4 due to their limited and inconsistent hours! Fresh and very tasty sushi which is very reasonably priced.

    Crazy Sushi is an understated local gem. It is a hard to find hole in the wall without any frills run by a sole proprietor who is clearly passionate about making great sushi. Tonight we ordered Nigiri and Raw Rolls to go. Total price for what you see in the pictures below was just under $50. I recommend calling in your order to pick up at a later time so you don't have to wait. It is just a one man band behind the counter after all. Big pieces of fresh fish and big flavor! I am a regular here when in the Metro Detroit area.

    Don't be dissuaded by the small store location. I absolutely love finding hidden gems like these. I now live right around the corner from here and before moving, used to only go to Noble Fish. I got really tired of the 60+ min wait at Noble Fish so I found this location via yelp based on all the good reviews and gave it a try instead. I was so very pleased I did. There is just one sushi chef in there who runs the whole entire show. All the rolls are written out on canvas boards on the wall by entrance. You order by writing on the yellow sticky pad on the bench next to the menus and hand it to him when done. There's only about two tables inside and a couple seats by the sushi bar. We ordered for takeout: Mania (Salmon), Healthy, Spicy Tuna, and Yellowtail Scallion. All of which tasted amazing and fresh, so we were very satisfied. Great rice to fish ratios and I enjoyed the quality of the rice too. The preparation took only about 15 mins as we were the only customers at that time. Definitely will be coming back for more in the future! Well priced and reasonable for what you get, but I did feel the pieces on select rolls are a little smaller portioned in comparison to Noble Fish. Tip: Assuming this is how they keep overhead costs down, you will need to indicate whether you want wasabi and ginger included in your order, if any at all or if you want extra. I asked for regular amounts of wasabi and extra ginger so he gave us a generous serving, in which we were grateful for.

    The Dragon Queen (?) Roll was a bit overwhelming!
    Mariah C.

    I'm not sure I *want* my sushi to be all that crazy. I was inspired, in line with the same, to get a much more fancy out-there roll that I would otherwise have gotten -- the Dragon Queen. I figured that I had to go a little wild. That, added to a bowl of miso makes for a hearty-feeling meal. I was satisfied, and very, very full. This isn't an upscale sushi joint, but it's a well-intentioned, cozy place -- very small, but just fine for a quick stop in for lunch. I eat my lunch on the late side, so there wasn't any wait. It's not necessarily a place I'd seek out again, but if I found myself in the area, I'd likely try another roll or two.

    I love sushi, so I had to try a new spot while in the Detroit area for work. This place had good reviews and it was close so why not! When we pulled up we saw that it was a little hole in the wall place. And when I say little, there were only two tables and a bar thingy to sit at. Now I found out there is one guy that works, I believe him to be the owner and sushi chef. He is very good at what he does, but it takes a while to get your order because he is one guy doing everything. I ordered my favorite roll, the Philadelphia and also one called the Yellowstone. The Philadelphia was great! The salmon was amazing and smokey. The Yellowstone was a baked roll with crab and crab salad and it was piled on! Had I known how big the roll was I would have skipped the philly roll. But I can't even begin to tell you how amazing the Yellowstone was! It had amazing sauce and the crab was rich and flavorful. I would definitely comeback and order the same thing again!

    It only took 1 hour to make my simple sushi combo. Even there were only 2 customer in the shop. A great place for time consuming.

    Blech. Every roll was way too sticky and sweet and doused in sauce. The miso soup tasted old and the tofu was mushy and slimy. Not a fan.

    The thing that strikes me the most about this restaurant is the quality of the ingredients they…read moreused. 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 .

    tl;dr chicken katsu sando was fantastic, would come back to try the other sandwiches. Classic rolls…read morewere 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.
