The sushi was phenomenal. The atmosphere is very cozy and cheery with the K-Pop station on and Pokémon everywhere. Staff was very nice.

I was out this way scrapbooking at the store here in this complex and needed something to eat. I found this sushi place and decided to give it a try. Walking in, it has a very hip feel to it. Not a traditional menu of what I'm used to for sushi. The menus on the wall and prices seemed reasonable. Very limited selection. They also sell ramen here, but the kind that come in the buckets that I see at the grocery store? Weird, but ok. Anyway, I went with a sushi roll that was about $14, I can't remember which one. I also sprung for some Nigiri because I like it, and got a can of Dr. Pepper that I didn't really want or need, but hey, when you're hungry you do dumb things, right? Anyway, my bill was a whopping $25.88. OUCH. I was kind of surprised but considering my options and not wanting to leave the shopping complex, I paid for it anyway, sticker shock and all. There were two sushi chefs behind the counter and they threw in an extra Nigiri for me. It was delicious! Seatings limited here but there are tables and a TV with what I think was Kpop on it playing some cute music with videos. Anyway, the food itself was great, and I really did have a good meal here, just pricier than I thought. They do serve water here but I wish they had a bigger menu to choose from. read more

Goblin is definitely on my biweekly rotation. The sushi is made fresh and quick. The customer service is always good, and the place is clean! read more

We have been wanting sushi so it was exciting to see that Goblin Sushi opened by us. We sat up at the bar area and enjoyed watching the sushi chefs work their magic. You can choose from a menu or order from the wall. You go to the counter and order and pay. They bring the food out to you. The sushi was reasonably priced. Everyone was very friendly and the sushi chefs were helpful. They kept letting us try things! The sushi was delicious! We had left overs to take home! read more

Best sushi around, always so fresh and delicious! Wonderful staff ! Great to go with the kids , they love it!

By far the best sushi restaurant around! The place is always spotless, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. You're always greeted warmly by the entire team as soon as you walk in, which makes you feel right at home. After placing your order, the chef often surprises you with something new to try -- and it's always delicious! They're also amazing with kids -- my boys always ask if we can eat at Goblin Sushi. A truly welcoming, family-friendly spot with top-tier sushi. read more

This is my second time coming here and both times I have been impressed with the great, quality sushi and nigiri. The fish is always so fresh and tasty. The fish is definitely the star of the show and isn't overshadowed by heavy or sweet sauces. The place is clean and has a fun, cute ambience. The staff are polite and welcoming. I will definitely come back!!! read more

An absolute exquisite experience! Seriously any other sushi restaurants I've previously rated, knock them all down a star. Goblin is truly 5 stars. My wife laughed when we pulled up thinking I was pranking her by taking her to a sushi joint named The Goblin. She quickly apologized as we left in disbelief with what we just consumed. The menu simplistic and on the pricier side. After finishing eating I'd say it's well worth the value. We sat at the bar and it almost felt like Omakase (we ordered the Nigiri set) with the chef explaining ingredients, and in what order to eat. Chef even provided us a few extra surprises. Yes this is authentic! Yes it's real sushi rice and it's the star! Yes the fish is very fresh! Yes they use real wasabi! Yes they make their own in house soy sauce! Everything here was a big yes! When we left, we immediately made several phone calls to friends bragging about the experience and that we might be spoiled until we actually go to Japan. We will come back every time we are in town. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic! The best sushi I have ever had! Chef Joe knocks it out of the park! The staff is so friendly! The decor, and the ambiance is so cute, very Japanese. But the sushi is so fresh, and so good every single time! We have been coming here for months, and the quality never fades. We love grabbing sushi from Goblin, and we love our visits with Chef Joe! -from Mr nuggets and family :) read more

Excellent food and really unique space. I tried a few rolls there but I think the Caterpillar roll was my favorite.

Best service, freshest sushi, sweetest staff my last meal would be here at goblin. The cooked rolls are just as fresh and tasty as the raw ones. Always hard deciding what I want to order.. i just don't have any pictures of the rolls i normally get because i want to eat it asap. read more

Goblin Macomb - Penguin party tray - Japanese Near Me - Macomb, Michigan

This is hands down the best sushi place I've been to in town. Every Tuesday night I go and sit at the bar. The chef always makes good conversation and even asks me to try new things that he is trying out and looking to add to the menu. This place is always quiet and gives a little feel to traditional South Korean restaurants. read more

I was craving sushi so I decided to visit the new Goblin location in Macomb and it was just as good as the Clinton Twp one I fell in love with! The ambiance, quality, and consistency are still superb. Chef Jo from the Clinton location and another sushi chef were working. Both were amazing and clearly knew what they were doing. The girl working at the front was so sweet and welcoming too! I ordered a spicy tuna roll, salmon belly roll, and tuna nigiri. All the rolls were so fresh and you can really taste the quality. I brought my mom in with me, she's really picky and normally doesn't eat fish at restaurants, and she loved the sushi here, she said it is "the best." I also ordered the matcha cheesecake to go, which is a must have when you stop in. It's so light and yummy! Goblin is still my favorite sushi restaurant, in fact the best in MI, and one of the few places I'll eat raw fish from in MI. If you want high quality and fresh sushi at a low price, stop in! Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. read more

This place is a must!!! The sushi is so good. Probably the best sushi I have ever had in Michigan. The service was amazing they were all so kind. The place is so cute and very clean. We will definitely be making this place our go to place for sushi! read more

This place is proof that not all sushi is created equal--some of it should never have been created at all. I came here thinking I found a hidden gem, but it turns out the only thing hidden was the quality. The fish tasted like it took a wrong turn out of a gas station freezer, and the rice was either soggy or rock hard, no in between. I get that it's cheap, but there's a difference between affordable and questionable. If you're into warm raw fish, limp seaweed, and regret, this is your spot. Otherwise, spend the extra few bucks somewhere that won't leave you praying you don't get food poisoning. Are these good reviews bots? read more

Talk about goblin cause you guys sure robbed me of my gold!!! Cheap ramen bowl are we serious guys I spent five FIVE DOLLARS on ramen thinking when i picked it up it would be and actual dish but instead what you gave me was a cheap store bought bowl of ramen. And dont get me started on the smell of the place. I walked in there and it was a repulsing smell of fish. Seriously i dont know how u guys have all 5 star reviews because its a low quality kitchen nightmares. I should seriously call Gordon ramsey and get him in your cheap $@? Restaurant!!!!! read more

normally they have the best sushi ever and there inside environment is so friendly and service is sooo quick, i could eat everyday. i got takeout sushi today and the chicken teriyaki roll was phenomenal. the salmon roll on the other hand ever single piece i found bones in... really sad because normally they are normally so good!! read more

Never knew this place was here ... Excellent food and customer service!!! Had sushi many places and this ranks as one of the best. Will definitely be back again. Vibe is so cute and place is super clean. Lady up front even included a free matcha cheesecake for being first time customers : ) read more

Without a doubt the best sushi in town and the most fresh. The head Sushi Chef is the ultimate professional. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and customer service focused. Without a doubt the freshest sushi around. I have been eating sushi for 40 years and I have never written a positive review for a sushi restaurant until now. The young lady at the front (Nevaeh) is so kind and again customer focused. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays and this is disappointing and yet the reason for this is because the head Sushi chef is waiting to hire and train another chef who will represent his brand the way he has. Once you visit here you will understand why it is so important to maintain the quality of this establishment. I consider myself a connoisseur regarding sushi and I highly recommend you visit Goblin Sushi. DOK read more

Love everything we always order the Penguin platter. All of their Nigiri is so fresh love the yellowtail & salmon. The torched scallop & salmon nigiri is delicious. Some of my favorite rolls are alaska, caterpillar & dragon. read more

We've been going to Goblin for many years but today was the last time we'll go. The rolls have become so small and they're expensive.. I don't know if they got new owners or what but I picked up a take out today and the rolls were the smallest rolled I've ever seen. I went to the Clinton Twp location 2 weeks ago and ordered a tuna bowl which had about a tablespoon of tuna on it. Too bad because it used to be good. read more

Best sushi in Macomb County! I am so happy I discovered Goblin. It's right by my place, easy to park and their indoor seating is so cute! Now the sushi. I like I said the best and the freshest! Joe, the sushi chef is my favorite person there, he's always so friendly and welcoming along with the rest of the staff! I come here at least once a week and always have an excellent experience. I highly recommend and can't wait until I get more next week read more

We stopped in for a quick bite to eat and we were wowed by the quality of food and amazing service. The chef gave us some complimentary nigiri to try and we were wowed by how soft the fish was and quality of the rice. It was delightful! The rolls were incredible and tasty. It was so fresh. The chef came over and was chatting with us for a moment and I couldn't believe the friendliness. This will be a new regular spot for us for sure! read more

The best and only sushi I'll ever eat now. The ingredients are always fresh that day and no preservatives.

Establishment was very clean and the staff was hospitable and helpful to first time guests. Goblin salad was fresh, lettuce was crispy and the avocado was amazing. Multiple sushi dishes were prepared to perfection (spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll, chicken tempura roll). Highly recommend! read more

I was born & raised in Macomb and graduated from Dakota High School. Since moving away, I've missed many things, but the sushi wasn't one of them. But this place is different. High quality sushi, affordable price, and great aesthetics. I LOVE the Korean vibes here. Reminds me of the sushi places I visited in Seoul. Sushi Chef Yosef was great to talk to--really sociable & knows a lot about the sushi craft. I had a chance to visit their Gratiot location as well, and I found them both to be of equal quality. Hidden gems in Metro Detroit! I want to know where the next one will pop up. read more

Our new favorite sushi place! We have seen nothing but RAVE reviews for Goblin Sushi, and we knew we had to see for ourselves. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the extremely friendly hostess. The restaurant is bright, clean, and very sleek. Their menu is on the smaller side, which I appreciated. Showcasing about 20 rolls. I hate feeling overwhelmed every time I want to order sushi and have pages and pages to choose from. I knew right away with the smaller menu that we were going to be getting some amazing food. We chose the Goblin Caterpillar, Alaska Roll, Firecracker Roll, Dragon Roll, Shrimp Tempura, generous sides of Masago, Spicy Mayo and Pickled Ginger. Chef also gave us Pickled Wasabi to accompany our rolls. We enjoyed talking to Chef and truly feeling how passionate he is about his job. He was kind enough to have us try Tuna Nigiri & Salmon Belly Nigiri. While all their fish is impeccably fresh and delicious, the Koshihikari Sushi Rice was the true star of the night. All other "sushi rice" is ruined for me after tonight's experience. It was a pleasure getting to eat at this establishment, and we can not wait until our next visit. read more
