    I have been wanting to try this place for a while now. I was excited to hear it is Korean owned after noticing kimchi and some staple Korean dishes on the menu as well. I was craving and wanting some kimbap rolls but not after finding out they would be charging me the $10 per 8 piece roll when I don't eat beef. I can buy a fresh 9 piece roll from Kagopa for $3, that's insane and highway robbery to charge $10 for my specified roll. I notice they really get you with their specialty rolls and note there are several rolls where they only come as a 5 piece rolls too, the majority are 8 rolls. I ordered 2 house salads, Mexican roll, sweet potato roll and 3 Cali special rolls cream cheese ($1) and green onion ($.50) added to them. The interior looks rather rough and cheaply done, it doesn't look finished actually. Was told it would take 20 minutes for my carry out order and there's only one sushi chef working and it's a super small station and there was not one customer in the dining area either. Keeping an open mind until I try the food. The ginger dressing is mostly sweet, can't distinguish any ginger flavoring at all. The house salad isn't special at all. The California special roll is nice and creamy, fresh and delicious and so was the sweet potato roll with the addition of the cream cheese. My husband enjoyed his Mexican roll, nice touch with the jalapeño slice on top. I get that people come here for strictly the sushi, that's what they excel at for sure. I would agree their sushi was the best part of the meal luckily.

    Perhaps the greatest find I've had in the last two years. I was in the mood for some sushi and yelped nearby places to midtown. Called and was promptly answered and placed my order. It was ready in 15 minutes. When I got back to the office to eat I was surprised about how much thought they put in a carry out order. The miso soup was wrapped in plastic so it was still hot when I got back to my office. The spring rolls and sushi were well packed and they gave you a small bag filled with your sauces. The food was delicious. The miso soup was filled with tofu and seaweed. My coworker raved about their special California roll and my avocado roll was fresh and delicious. Better yet all of it was affordable. Awesome service, awesome food And I've been back 3 times in a month.

    Spicy salmon hand roll, Sunday morning rolls, yam yam rolls, and chicken teriyaki. I put some of it in one container to snack. ‍

    This is the first time I've been here and I found them completely by accident! I do like they have a small lobby so not many people can come in. I ordered only five items on the menu that I wanted to try to determine if I was going to return in the future. I ordered the yam yam rolls, and the Sunday morning rolls they were cold but I didn't complain this time. I also ordered the seaweed salad and regular salad Firecracker we and this is awesome . I enjoyed my spicy salmon hand roll. The chicken teriyaki is okay but it's slightly dry but nothing I couldn't handle. Overall I will be returning to this location Little SaladSeaweed SaladYam Yam Roll

    We were excited to see Fat Salmon was still doing their thing during the age of COVID. And doing it safely! We ordered some of the basics as well as a couple special rolls. They were quick, ready when I showed up, and tasted incredible. They also had some of the best prices for sushi I've seen in the area - rock on! Shout out to small business working their butts extra hard during these wild times! We appreciate you!! Thank you thank you!!

    Another fantastic find of a restaurant in Detroit. I went here purely based off the reviews, and I'm glad I made the decision! I ordered food to go, and i was very pleasantly surprised. The food here is very good and at a reasonable price as well. The tempura rolls are phenomenal. Perfect crunchiness, and so much flavor bursting from each bite with all the different sauces and ingredients. I've realized I'm a big fan of tempura sushi, and this place does it very well. The staff was friendly when I picked up my food as well, and I look forward to trying different rolls here sometime in the future!

    I like Fat Salmon Sushi. It's casual, the food is good, the prices are right, it's BYOB and unlike downtown you can get a table on Saturday night. If you aren't looking for a scene Fat Sushi is your spot. Bonus: the bathroom is clean and there is hand soap Recommendation: the ginger dressing is a little too sweet

    This restaurant is open for carry out during COVID. I ordered a crunch roll, last Vegas roll, spicy salmon avocado roll, miso soup, and house salad. Every last bute was delicious! This sushi restaurant is also reasonably priced which is a huge selling point for me. I will absolutely be back.

    Chicken Fried Rice

    I work in Hamtramck and while there are a lot of great places to get food around here, there isn't a lot of options for Asian take out. So I was happy to find out about this spot that has Japanese cuisine! I ordered the Chicken Fried Rice which was great! Really good quality ingredients and it wasn't like some kind of mediocre fried rice that you get at the mall food court. The portion size was also great and more than I was expecting - I love to have leftovers and I definitely had plenty! Looking forward to trying more off their menu in the future!

    This is my #1 favorite sushi restaurant!! I would eat here every day if I could! The staff is so nice and the sushi is so fresh!! Highly recommend this place.

    $10 Bulgogi entree tasted great
    Cijay A.

    I had higher expectations. The menu I realized had a limited selection of sushi rolls/ special rolls and sashimi. I ordered the shumai 6 piece appetizer and it visually did not look appetizing it literally tasted like it came from a frozen box. The spicy chicken wings tasted much better. Only one server was available helping 3 other tables. We ordered California Roll, spicy tuna and avocado roll were super small. My hand roll the spicy salmon which was $1 less had more fish and tasted great. Their bulgogi entree for $10 was delicious you had a choice of soup or salad and of course rice on the side. We ordered 2 specialty rolls: the joe Campau roll and the Bulgogi roll both did taste great. Here's the kicker I didn't mind waiting for napkins and forks I get there was 1 server but when you were charged .50 for a small amount of siracha that surprised me. The server didn't tell me there would be a charge. It's the service and the waiting and waiting that bothered me. Oh and they don't have soda machines you will receive cans (I didn't mind this at all) I don't think I'll be back yes it may seem cheaper but for the portion size it will adds up. - metered parking .25 = 1 hour.

    I would give 0 stars if possible Called in to order hand rolls, and asked for no rice. They assured me they could do so, so we ordered 4 hand rolls no rice. Attached is a photo of what we got when we opened the container at home ..... this is a small square to go container for reference Literally the most sneaky and awful thing a restaurant has ever tried to pass off as okay. They charged $7 each for these ... This little box costed $30.... How could you sell this to a customer? Either say you can't do it or get it right. Shoving this in the to go bag and accepting our money was unprofessional and frankly absurd.

    Yellowtail and scallion, spicy salmon, and California rolls.

We started with chicken karaage bites and calamari. Both had delicious dipping sauces and were nicely fried. Both apps came out very quickly and were hot. I'd give the apps a 4/5. Everyone really enjoyed the udon noodles, most of us got miso butter pan fried. This meal was super flavorful and had a lot of the miso butter! The noodles were perfectly cooked and there were a lot of the extras added on top for additional flavors. The ginger tori soup was also enjoyed. The servers were on top of it, bringing us water carafes and everything we needed quickly. The restaurant is low lit which created a nice vibe. Obsessed with the stained glass entryway! The restaurant is located in the beautiful area of Corktown with the Grand Central Station just steps away, giving you something to do while you wait for your table. Typically very easy to find parking.

I've been going to Ima since they opened. Me and my mom would often frequent and most recently I introduced my friend who just moved here from LA. It's quickly become one of our favorite spots but the interaction turned altercation we had with the GM was unnecessarily hostile and rude. After 2.5 hours of dining, and I do mean dining not just sitting as we had just finished our second dessert (big back activities) and drinks, we were asked to leave because they needed the table. Her delivery was a little curt and there were several tables empty but whatever. My friends were a bit put off by the interaction and one made mention of how we just ordered more food to which the GM makes a abrupt turn to come a rude reply, "You've been here 2.5 hours and we only allow people to sit for 1.5 hours. And we need the table, that's why!" If that was her attempt to answer our question, smooth things over or redeem herself, FAIL! Regardless of how she felt about OUR conversation, it was a private convo amongst ourselves that she should have never inserted herself into. She was walking away. We were not talking to her, nor were we rude or unruly. On the way out my friend approached her to let her know her approach was rude and unprofessional and that's when it really got ugly. I didn't catch the whole exchange but ultimately we were told to leave and we're not welcome all because the GM was given professional constructive criticism. My friend never once raised her voice of got hostile. I truly felt like the GM had some personal issues that she elected to take out on us. Which is never ok. All of our waitstaff were pleasant. And honestly if our being at the table was an issue, it really should have come from our waitress. I'm sure her delivery would've been much better. The GM has 0 customer service skills, 0 accountability and clearly doesn't handle criticism well. As much as I love Ima I'd really never want to come back with how embarrassingly rude and poorly we were treated. Food: Spicy Pork Ramen, Pork Belly Skewer, & Steak Skewer 10/10. Spicy Bok Choy 3/10, spice is there but lacks in flavor.

Last night's dinner was nothing short of magnificent. We started with oysters and calamari that set the tone immediately -- fresh, expertly prepared, and beautifully presented. The shrimp was equally impressive. But the real showstoppers were the main courses: the lamb chops were cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor, and the branzino was delicate, flaky, and seasoned just right. Even the Brussels sprouts -- often an afterthought -- were a standout side that had everyone at the table talking. What truly elevated the evening was our server, Cel. His knowledge of the menu was exceptional, his recommendations were spot-on, and he went above and beyond by offering us -- a native couple and their cousins visiting from California -- genuine, thoughtful suggestions on things to do and see around Detroit. That kind of personal touch is rare and deeply appreciated. Zuzu isn't just a great Detroit restaurant -- it's a destination. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town.

They have a menu shortage so we all shared menus which not a big deal, but was strange and made sense why it took so long to get menus after seating. We all ordered cocktails which were very good. We all ordered a bunch of apps as well, the sushi was delicious, the spicy tuna crispy rice was also a favorite. We all ordered entrees which ended up being lack luster. The Asian pepper steak came out cold, which they did remake. The steak used seem to be trimmings of the steaks. It was very tough and fatty. If I have on piece of advice DO NOT ORDER THE TABLE SIDE FRIED RICE. It came out after we were already half way done with our meals, and it's literally on a chilis fajita skillet. They charge $36 and the portion size was maybe 1.5 cups of rice. (See picture, no one had taken any off of the plate) They dump raw egg on it that doesn't fully cook with the skillet, and the sauce on top was so gross. Overall would stop in for some drinks /apps / sushi. But would not get an entree.
