Good quality and portion of Japanese dinner and lunch. Everything tastes right. Best Karaage Chicken in this area.

People talk about hole in the wall places being good; this place isn't just good, it's phenomenal. Chef Das prepared one of the best sushi experiences I've had in my life. The fatty tuna nigiri took my wife and I to an extraordinary level of happiness; we could not help but have big smiles while we ate. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our hot tea did not run out nor did my wife's water. The service was impeccable, the staff were very polite and friendly. I've seen reviews about the floors being carpeted - that is no longer the case and there is a beautiful hardwood floor. The environment was clean. I absolutely cannot wait to revisit this gem. It will absolutely be in our rotation of special restaurants to eat at. The biggest thank you to chef Das and the staff for this phenomenal experience. read more

A friend of mine wanted to check this place out. I am glad we came across this hole in the wall kind of place. I commend the chef and the waitress in multi tasking and running this little shop of theirs. They're not trying to make it trendy, or fancy, or fusion of any sorts. They're doing what they love and they're doing their best! And sometimes it's worth the credit that is deserved. Majority of them speak fluent Japanese and a bit of English. They have great combo deals that will please your palette. A bit over whelming at first but got the hang of it in reading their menus on the walls. We ordered the hamburger combo which has that sweetness to it. Karage (Japanese fried chicken), spaghetti, rice, and usually a croquette but was subbed in with a pork katsu which was a plus! We also ordered their tofu udon, a full size pork katsu, fried squid, and Tekka Don. Everything was simply great. Granted there was no wow factor but overall I was satisfied. I will definitely come back again to try out their other dishes. But would be great if they find more people to help out. If you speak Japanese/English they're looking! Just fyi! From what I saw on their window! :) read more

This place is not clean and I saw the employees preparing the food not handling it properly for food safety

The service was really slow. It was a Saturday night so it was somewhat understandable but the whole dinner took almost two hours which is really long. We tried several different rolls but all of them were crunchy rolls which we thought was odd and hard to eat after awhile. The soup was also lukewarm and not tasty. Overall it wasn't the worst experience but it wasn't good enough to warrant coming back here. Once and done. read more

Let me tell you 1st! Who trust a review written by a person who has 0 friend or a few reviews? Price? make sure when you order and It was not crazy expensive. Fair price. Huge size and taste is better than others. Not special taste and not like special menu, but Japanese taste as long as I know( im japanese) Plus, they speak Japanese negative side: they should have each picture on menu One more. when someone says, "This is not japanese" Have you been to Japan( not only like Tokyo, Kyoto/Osaka)? Have you had a family dinner at there? nowadays many Jp restaurants are ran by none-Jp such as Korean or Chinese and waiter doesnt speak Japanese. my point is here you may have many Japanese food, but there are many fusion. are you looking for Asian fusion or authentic Japanese? This restaurant is authentic Japanese side(not 100% thou), but not special and not for date. read more

First time here tonight for take out and the sushi was horrible. It looks like a two year old rolled it and they were not the best tasting. The spring rolls were overcooked as well. ​ read more

Amazing food, best Japanese I've ever had!! I loved the chicken Katsu dinner and the chicken katsu sandwich for lunch. Legit love this place

Riki Sushi - Chicken curry (curry with karaage) - Japanese Near Me - Novi, Michigan

Again with these bad reviews! I honestly don't know who's leaving them but seriously, this place is true Japanese cuisine. As I always say, if there are natives coming to a restaurant, it's amazing food. My husband and I showed up 5 minutes before they actually opened but they were very kind and let us stay. After ordering, Japanese people started pouring into the restaurant. The sushi was amazing. Fresh, so flavorful!! Not just tasting like rice and seaweed but wow, real flavors! The spring rolls and miso soup was equally fresh and flavorful! Definitely a place we will visit often! It's been so hard finding a place with great sushi in Michigan. read more

Best and Genuine Izakaya-style Japanese food around Novi area. All of fried Japanese deli dishes are best in Mid-West area including Chicago. Kara-age l Kushi-age l Tonkatsu is recommended besides sushi menu. The best day for sushi is Thursday. read more

We just moved to town a couple of weeks ago. This location is super convenient. Food was pretty good. Hoping to find a better place for sushi. Chicken was super dry. Definitely an older establishment. Kitchen was NOT clean. Can't say I wouldn't go back. Overall, a "3" is an adequate rating. read more

I believe that he is one of the greatest Japanese restaurant chefs in Detroit. (The chef is not Japanese, that fact surprises me more) Pork fillet cutlet tastes perfect, which tells the chef has very good eye on food material, skills for prep and frying, so cutlet becomes tender with crispy texture. Be careful, it's very hot. Curry Namban (noodle) reminded me of my childhood. Gyoza is must try. It looks beautiful and tastes great. If you are not familiar with Japanese food, you're lucky to start enjoying it from here. read more

Riki Sushi - Pork fillet cutlet meal with thinly shredded cabbage. - Japanese Near Me - Novi, Michigan

I'm feeling generous so 3 star. The place is small and decor is like a mix match of various restaurants with wobbly tables and wobbly benches. Price is Cherry Blossom's prices but average food. But I do admit we did not order sushi but donduri (rice meals) from the Japanese menu, tonkatsu, Katsu curry rice, una don. I loved my una don, eels over rice. It was quite tasty with the finely shaved eggs too. Now for the issues I did not like. Server really was not educated enough about the menu. When I order una don, he mistaken me saying udon. I corrected him, saying it's a rice dish not soup. Apparently to him that meant chirashi. Does it even sound like each other? Does he only know that dish to have rice and nothing else? Should I have read the description of the dish to him myself? I feel bad that they spent the time and effort to make chirashi to bring to me but it was not what i ordered. I understand they are newly opened but the menu is not that extensive. You should know the main non sushi items. Maybe I have too high of expectation but for the price of Cherry Blossom, I rather go elsewhere for better service, and decor. Salad that came with the meal was not enticing, miso soup apparently good enough for a 5 yr old's taste buds. Maybe I'll give it a try again after a yr? I don't know but currently I'm in no rush to head back, not when there are many other restaurants to try. read more

I moved to near this area. The owner cheff is an Indian, but he has much cooking skill and much cooking experience in Japan and the metro Detroit area. He is a great cheff nearby more than typical Chinese or Korean, looks like Asian fake Japanese cheffs. The food is not fancy, but traditional and Japanese SHOKUDO style, it's like diner or dive in Japan. They can give you much American style sushi rolls, but if you are Japanese food beginner or not so familiar for the casual Japanese food, you might be uncomfotable at this restaurunt. read more

I have been to Japan many times and I can say that the food is authentic and quite delicious!! The chicken karaage is INSANELY good especially when paired with the draft beer. If you're looking for a more casual and authentic Japanese dining experience I would highly recommend! read more

I just tried this place out with carry out. I ordered a sweet potato crunch roll, you can't really check when you are there because all the sushi looks the same, when I got home I realized it wasn't there (although I paid for it!) and then when I called he refused to make me one. DONT go here. There are too many good options nearby. read more

REAL Japanese taste Just like my mother cooked for me when I was child Surprisingly chef isn't Japanese BUT I would like to say if you want to enjoy real Japanese meal Please try here! read more

Service was awkward and unpleasant. (No greeting and mumbled questions) Back of restaurant was full of dirty dishes. Food was passable but nothing special. What prompted the 1-star review, however, was the bizarre stinginess of the owners (Indian chef and waitress, presumably his wife). Menu had a roll for $3.99, so I ordered as an extra to my udon since it was cheap. It was sub-par (spicy sauce was icky). Udon and my bf's tonkatsu were fine, nothing exceptional, but tasty enough. If that had been the end of it, I wouldn't have written a review. But then we got our check, and the sushi roll was $5.50. Not outrageous, but not the price on the menu. I showed the menu that I had ordered from that said $3.99. My tone was very polite and casual, thinking it would be an easy fix. But waitress unsmilingly talked over me and said that was wrong. Then suddenly the chef came out from behind the counter and started to aggressively tell me that the menu was old, and the price was $5.50. I was very taken aback to have so much intensity about $1.50...any restaurant with a modicum of customer service (or business smarts!) would have immediately changed the price, then just made sure they got the menu right next time. I said the sushi menu on the table was the only one we were given, and also that I had pointed to the item to order it, so the woman had to have known I had that menu. How could I have known the updated price if I didn't get the updated menu? While I started to say this, the chef got more in my face and talked over me, and his wife just took the bill from the table that had my credit card on it and charged it without even waiting for me to agree. Strange behavior. I was really taken aback by the unpleasantness and intensity that was so unnecessary. That, combined with generally awkward service and some of the food, left bad tastes in our mouths, and we will not be back! read more

The food was good. I really enjoyed it. But there was an issue with payment. I pay tips in cash sometimes and pay the food with card. My bill was about $19 so I left tips of approximately $3.50 in cash and pairs $19 on my card. Then I got my credit card statement later and it shows that they charged $22.50. It's not worth disputing but you need to be careful and make sure they charge the correct amount. I write note on the receipts so I notice when they overcharge. read more

The chef has been around the block working in real Japanese-run restaurants for many years before branching out on his own. Word has got around in the Japanese community and indeed most of the customers were Japanese tonight (a good sign). They have a full Japanese menu, not just sushi (including donburi, menrui, tsumami). Everything we tried -- tekka-don, uni/ikura/shake don and agedashi-dofu did not disappoint. The main thing that was not like Japan were the larger portions. read more

This place is definitely a hole in the wall, just like other reviewers stated. But, I happen to be a fan of hole in the walls. The emphasis is clearly not on decor in this restaurant. Too bright, plastic plates, dirty floor. However, the food I had was quite good. The tuna tataki was a big portion ($10) and very good. The edamame was so-so (reheated and doused in table salt). The spicy tempura California roll was VERY good. The waiter was quite personable as was the sushi chef who said hello and asked how my sushi was. I'd eat here again and I would recommend it. read more

Riki Sushi - Spicy Tempura California Roll - Japanese Near Me - Novi, Michigan

This place serves the best donkatsu in the area! It's pure heavenly taste, and their other lunch menu is exceptionally good as well. I haven't tried their ramen yet, but I've seen other tables order various ramen dishes. And the most reassuring thing about this place is that it is approved by the Japanese community. (Most of the customers are Japanese.) Chicago doesn't even have a place like this. It's a must-try place! read more

Although the interior of this restaurant is a little rough the food is pretty good. There's a huge selection of sushi rolls so be prepared!! Don't neglect the dinner specials posted on the wall, you get a lot of food for a pretty good price! read more

This sushi place is run by an Indian chef. I have seen sushi place run by an American, Chinese or Korean, but this was my first experience in Indian style sushi. Waitress was not knowledgeable about Japanese food. Food taste was OK, but my Tonkatsu was a bit too salty. read more

I'm not usually very picky with my sushi but this was just not good. The rice was over cooked, the roll was falling apart and the spicy mayo was weirdly sweet and not spicy. I won't be back sadly... read more

Very close to my place. But it serves the worst sushi I ever had. The basic of sushi is sushi rice. Sushi rice here is just a joke.

We haven't been in yet but this place is owned and run by the sushi chef that made Casey's of Walled Lake's sushi great. Go there and try it... I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Best karage out there... super crunchy!... the owner lived in Japan and worked there as a cook. I have had their sushi and I would rather get sushi somewhere else though read more

this is my fourth time here, really love the food! tons of selection you get to pick. we ordered around 6 small plates and 2 entrees(for 3). In the picture is the shoyu ramen (chicken karage and veggie stir fry behind ), chashu is pretty tender, didnt get to eat the hard boiled egg cuz i was too full, but really enjoyed the scallion, bamboo shoot and spinach with the ramen broth. remember to order some Japanese beer to go along with the small plates/ appetizers, you will not regret it! The only issue we had was the service was a little bit slower, so you gotta take the initiative to ask them place your order or refill more water/ tea. Overall, i recommend this restaurant for the authentic dining experience. (im not Japanese but seems like 80% of their customers are Japanese so simply assumed its pretty authentic ) read more

Terrible sushi!!! was my second time in here, the first one I got a good opinion but tonight, OHH God! Awful!! the Avocado was disgusting, I don't know if they know what Tempura is, but I order two sushi tempura rolls and none of them were tempura at all, also, I don't know the freshness of their food, the Avocado was black and the fish taste really bad, we ate one and couldn't eat more, never again.!!! read more

Riki Sushi - Old and black Avocado!! - Japanese Near Me - Novi, Michigan

Chef really tries, but think maybe should focus on doing something really well, instead of lots sub-par. Tried mix of Izakaya and sushi...neither where epic or reason for me to come back. I absolutely HATE when sushi is warm / hot. Sushi rice was weird texture and drenched in sauce. Definitely a dive...do yourself a favor & keeping driving to Hanzo for Izakaya or One World Mkt for sushi. read more

This place is a total hole in the wall dive with amazing sushi! They have ramen and other items which we haven't tried, but the banana roll and futomaki roll was amazing along with the other rolls we ordered. Service was quick but not hurried and the staff quiet but polite. What a hidden gem! read more

You have to try their karaage (fried chicken) here. It is comparable to karaage you can get in Japanese izakayas. Their other dishes are OK, but I'd go here just for the karaage. I've only been here for lunch, so not sure what it's like for dinner. Definitely recommend! read more

If I could give it 100 stars I would! First time trying it and we're in love. I'm a very picky eating and loved all of it!! So amazing. We live 2 minutes away so we will be returning very soon!! read more

I decided to go to this restaurant today because it's near my house and I love sushi. I was surprised to see that an Indian family was running the restaurant, which I wouldn't care if it were Martians running it as long as they knew the art of sushi and had good customer service. I ordered a Philadelphia roll another specialty roll and a diet coke Japanese salad and a Specialty roll The Philadelphia roll came out first. This is my favorite but this had thee smallest sliver of smoked salmon I had ever seen on a Philadelphia roll and it taste mostly like rice because that is what it mostly consisted of. The Specialty rolls (13.99 each) came out next and it was clear to both of us that they had scrimped on the fish that was supposed to be in the roll. It was also clear that we would never eat here again. The waitress brought the bill with the Specialty rolls and left the restaurant. There was an older gentlemen that motioned for us to come to the counter and pay. I asked could I have a refill on my diet coke and he says "We charge for refills because it cost me 75cent to serve you coke" I told him "Say no more". There was no need to argue I knew we would never be back. Thoroughly Dissatisfied read more
