    Rainbow roll and Salmon roll
    Sara M.

    The ambiance was amazing. A lot of fun, and felt really legit. Authentic alcohol bottles, ribbons, and banners bring life and color to the walls. The lighting is warm and moody. There's room, but eating inside gives a very pleasant community atmosphere, like you're dining alone and yet together. The service was fine. They provide you with a binder with actual, printed pictures of each menu item (printed photos, like the kind you would get developed yourself at Walgreens.) I loved this touch- it felt inviting, home-y, and accessible for non Japanese. I got two sushi rolls which were not particularly generous. The fish was fresh and colorful enough, but you get exactly what you ask for and nothing more. Didn't love that. The salmon roll is just salmon with a bit of wasabi smeared inside. The soy sauce available is Kikkoman, which is fine. The prices were high but still in the competitive range. The restroom was clean. The place is obviously beloved as it was absolutely packed, but IDK... there are several sushi spots in this market. I think they could offer their patrons a little extra to make the experience excellent.

    This place is way overpriced and quality sucks now. The only people that come here are Japanese expats because they are home sick and willing to over pay for basic items. Sushi, $3.80 a piece. Fish is thin, rice break apart once you attempt to pick it up. Fish taste fresh though. I have the worst katsudon here. Pork cutlet is tough and dry like I cook it at home. Portion is small too. The small plates are very expensive but nothing is marinated. Even salad they change to plain shredded cabbage. Chef is drunk and lazy because he can get away with it.

    Yakitori and gizzard
    Lin I.

    An authentic Japanese restaurant, recommend it if you also love Japanese food! Yakitori, gizzard, potato salad are great!! The niku tofu and beef and asparagus may go better with rice than being alone( slightly salty). HIRE katsu is beef katsu, goes well with the salad at side.

    Tuna, yellowtail and salmon nigiri  Shrimp tempura roll and eel and avocado maki style Yellowtail and negi roll

    Moved to the area months ago and this has become our weekly spot because we love it so much! Very authentic Japanese restaurant, quality traditional dishes and everyone speaks Japanese. Its without a doubt, the best sushi in the area and we rave to all of our friends to come try this place. The sushi rice, the way it's prepared, this makes a huge difference!! We enjoy traditional nigiri and sashimi sushi and from all the sushi places in the area, the quality of fish here is night and day compared to other places! The server Amy, is so warm and loving and you just feel so loved and welcomed. She knows us by our first names. She's the best!! The food is fantastic, and the experience is even better. Sushi chef greets you and says goodbye. You can feel the love when you dine here! Definitely recommend giving it a try!! Our must haves: Fried calamari, it's a small portion but made to perfection. Beef teriyaki - order the dinner portion instead of app and it comes with tempura shrimp and vegetables! The nigiri: especially tuna and salmon! Their tamago is also elite.

    Beside the katsu, rest is decent and dissapointing in taste. When I was there white tuna was color changed which show that fish isnt fresh

    Wow! I've been here a few times now and everything is always so fresh, hot, and flavorful…read more Consistently! My go to is the seafood ramen w chili oil (I'd recommend adding chili oil to their broths), as well as the crispy shrimp tempura. An entree w a warm sake hits the spot perfectly! The service is stellar and quick and the hours are perfect for lunch or dinner. I suggest getting there fast as you definitely won't be the only one.

    I had high expectations, sadly the flavors (& spice) were lacking. I was super bummed. The service…read morewas good but...we definitely need extra chili oil and black pepper to get flavor in our soups. We went right at 5pm when it opened and all of us felt their dishes were pretty bland. My sister who doesn't like spicy or super flavorful foods liked her shrimp tempura udon though. Honestly, I was expecting more. I wish I would've loved it but didn't. I got the Tonkotsu with spice (didn't taste spicy at all). My hubby liked his Ton-Ton pork ramen. My friend got the Spicy Champon and it was NOT spicy at all. Not sure I'd recommend as our experience was lacking overall. At least they were great about refilling our waters and lots of free parking. I enjoyed the fresh small salad that came with our Ramen, but charging extra for the chili oil was a disappointment as my ramen really needed something extra. Better luck next time.

    I've been going to this sit-down (and now takeout) sushi eatery x international market since I was…read morea kid, and it honestly never disappoints. Ambiance has always stayed the same: cute, cozy, and so comfortable. Now that the booths were removed and they only have regular table seating, service is a bit different (you order at the front or at the kiosk instead of someone taking your order), but I actually love how it all works! From an operational standpoint, I feel like it actually makes things go smoother and faster. Additionally, I don't know if it's just because I haven't had their sushi in a bit, but I felt like their portion sizes actually increased slightly (which is always amazing)!! Love love LOVEEE their sushi and hearty miso soup so much. Great selection of drinks from the fridge inside, and so many vegetables, fish, snacks, and essentials (e.g., hair care, toothpaste).

    Another great trip to One world market! I am noticing so many little and big changes within this…read morestore. Greater varieties and diversity and expansion. The premade food choices are growing by the day. They are always adding to their offerings with new flavors and tastes. I started coming to One world market in 1997 when it was first home by a husband and wife team. It was very special at that time to have a Japanese focused grocery store and I was so happy to have one in the Novi area. This has been my go-to for decades now. When it was transitioning from private ownership to the Noble Village group, owned by True World group, there was a transitional decline, thankfully, that didn't last long and things are developing very nicely. I hear even more growth is on the horizon as they establish an even greater presence in the building next door. I am also thankful that the integrity and the high-quality is very much present and everything they do. The service is always top notch and they try to open up a lot of lanes so people get through quickly because it is busier than ever. The word is definitely out. I've seen a lot of posts on social media and it's bringing in an even greater crowds, which is fantastic! Note: the on-line ordering is also so convenient and their sushi platters are high-level!

    If you're into delicious sushi, dining in old school mansions, or haunted experiences, you need to…read morego to Shiro in Novi! The aesthetic here is beautiful and truly takes you back in time. It's rumored that it's haunted to this day by its original builder & owner, Charles Rogers, and many have reported experiences of paranormal activity! The service is professional and they'll ensure you enjoy a delicious meal while spending time at Shiro. I really like how they have so many different unique rolls; I've never seen anything like the Fatty roll, and you get a perfect bite of everything with the Angry Mikey roll! This is by far my favorite Surf & Turf roll I've had anywhere! The quality of the filet is top notch; and the Pinot Noir Horseradish Sauce is unbelievably good! You also HAVE to start with the Spicy Garlic Shishito Peppers; they're the best!

    3 stars for the ambiance and service. The food didn't live up to the beautiful setting…read more We made a dinner reservation for two, and our first impression was fantastic. The restaurant has a romantic, upscale atmosphere, and the décor truly feels like a fine dining experience. We were seated on the upper floor, which made for a cozy and elegant evening. We ordered the gyoza, garlic butter mushrooms, mixed tempura, California rolls, a selection of sushi (can't remember the name), and a couple of drinks. The service was a little slow, but our server was friendly, attentive, and pleasant throughout the meal, so I appreciate her efforts. Unfortunately, the food was the biggest disappointment. Some dishes tasted like they had been prepared earlier than expected, though I'm not sure if that was intentional. Overall, the flavors and presentation were fairly average. Having enjoyed Japanese cuisine at many other restaurants, nothing we ordered stood out or left a lasting impression. The biggest contrast was between the restaurant's atmosphere and its food. The décor, lighting, and overall vibe create the expectation of an exceptional dining experience, but the food simply doesn't deliver at the same level. With a stronger kitchen, this place could easily become a standout destination.
