    two plates of food on a table
    Johnny Y.

    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! :)

    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.

    Chicken curry (curry with karaage)

    Eat curry. Eat karage. Hmmm go there for dinner time, the place isn't backed. If you go around lunch time, the place is packed. Just remember the serving size is Bigger than expected

    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.

    Pork fillet cutlet meal with thinly shredded cabbage.
    Kennie A.

    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.

    Tonkatsu
    Christie M.

    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.

    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.

    Tekka-Don (tuna sashimi on a bowl of rice).
    Mike C.

    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.

    Sharaku is easily one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Michigan, and after multiple visits,…read moreit continues to impress me. Having spent time exploring Japan and eating plenty of sushi there, this is probably the closest I've come in Michigan to recreating that experience. The focus is on traditional and straightforward: quality fish, careful preparation, and letting the ingredients speak for themselves rather than covering everything in sauces and toppings. The sushi and sashimi have been consistently excellent across my visits, and I especially appreciate that the menu goes well beyond the typical American sushi restaurant. There are plenty of traditional Japanese dishes and chef's-choice options, so it's a place where I'm always tempted to try something different. The atmosphere adds to the experience too. It has this intimate, neighborhood Japanese restaurant vibe that reminds me so much of stumbling upon a sushi spot in Kyoto. If you love traditional Japanese food and care more about quality and authenticity than elaborate specialty rolls, Sharaku is absolutely worth the trip. One of the best Japanese dining experiences I've found in Michigan, and a place I'll continue coming back to.

    I'd probably go lower, if not for the friendly service. came here with my friend for his bday…read moredinner. Not sure how he became aware of this place, but here we were. AMBIANCE - the place seemed very cozy, with booths, a handful of tables and seating at the sushi bar. This place was JUMPING on a Tuesday. I'm actually glad I made reservations. Bunch of old Asian dudes working behind the sushi counter - place seemed legit. SERVICE - our server was very attentive and was helpful with recommendations. He was very patient as we had MANY questions about the menu, and what we should be getting. MENU - this place had a pretty extensive menu. The first page of the menu had their daily specials which seemed to be a pretty deep selection by itself. They had many of your standard Japanese fare, though their appetizer list seemed to be deeper than most. They also had a fair number of sushi combos, however, according to our server, those are all chef's choice, and said they tended to be more basic type rolls/fish. One thing that was unfortunate was that the sushi rolls did not have a description of what was included in them, so we had to get clarification on a few of the rolls we were interested in. FOOD - we decided to get a smattering of items. we started with the deep fried oysters, chicken karage, and some along with some fried scallops they had on special. The oysters were good, while the karage and scallops were just "ok." Good, but nothing to write home about. We also ordered a couple of rolls - we did the spider rolls (soft shell crab), a tempura shrimp roll, dragon roll, and two eel nigiri. The eel nigiri were excellent. The rolls while good.... left me wanting a bit. From the other reviews that I read, this place is good on quality, and less on the quality, and this was on full display with the rolls. Besides the nigiri, the rolls seemed light, especially our spider roll which was only 4 pieces (I dont think I've ever seen that before). Even the dragon roll seemed small. We probably could have just gotten more nigiri in lieu of dragon roll. OVERALL - while the food was good, for the price you pay, it does not seem worth it. Maybe if we had gotten more nigiri or chirashi, we could have appreciated it more, but this place was too far and too expensive for what it was. Maybe the lunch specials make it worth coming here, but this would not be anywhere on my list of places to go for sushi in the metro Detroit area. Celebrity Rating - Salt Bae

The menu is strong but limited, which I kind of like- limits decision fatigue, especially after a long day. I ordered the nigiri combo, for the cause. Nigiri is something I've only really gotten into this year, so I'm not an expert, but I know what I like and what I don't. Soft, sticky rice that feels fresh and adhesive but not clumpy, fresh smelling and looking fish. The California roll was a California roll. The nigiri was great however. The shrimp in particular was light and almost creamy tasting? I know that sounds odd but I mean it in a good way. The rest of the fish was good. I even tried eel (this is big for me) for the cause! It was rich and fatty, but not in an unpleasant way as I feared. It was pleasantly sauced, so I was able to try it sans soy sauce and was pleased! I *really* liked the soy sauce here, although they don't give you very much. They also are a bit stingy with the ginger. This was my first time trying tamago, which is a delicately sweetened egg roll stuffed with rice. If you're not used to it, you have to get over the look and just go for it! It's yummy! The restroom was clean but smelled faintly of cigarettes. To be honest... I didn't mind that. It kind of fit with the vibe and gave the restaurant a "real" "edgy" feel, although some people may not appreciate it. The interior is kind of messy and unkempt, but if you keep your eyes on the prize- the food- you'll leave happy!
