    Wow!! The sushi was so good I had to come twice in one week. Truly the best I've ever had! The ambiance inside is so cool, complete with sushi bar seating and intimate table seating. The service has been so friendly and welcoming to my family each time I've been. I recommend making a reservation in advance. Thank you Sharaku, we will be back!

    You are greeted (in Japanese) immediately upon walking in and by everyone from the waitstaff to the sushi chefs as well. The layout, decor, and lighting of the restaurant creates a very intimate dining atmosphere. The price may be high however you are paying for quality and authentic Japanese cuisine. You can taste the freshness of the fish and the food is presented beautifully. It is obvious the effort and care that is put into preparing their food.

    Came here to celebrate anniversary. Again I was impressed by their service and quality of foods. I enjoyed sushi and miso soup very much.

    Chef's selection. Perfectly made and great quality choice of seafood.

    As authentic as you can get. Sushi made right, sashimi melts in your mouth. So fresh and delightful. As walk in guests, we were still seated promptly. Everyone else had reservations and we werent sure if we could dine in (or we would have gone to Library) but we gave it a shot and was surprisingly pleased to get a table with very minimal wait time. Ambience is lively and noise level is just enough for a good conversation. Service and hospitality is the much appreciated. Host was accommodating. Our server was attentive and kind. Truly impressed and will be coming back.

    My husband and I love this authentic Japanese restaurant! They serve such fresh fish, and the people there are so welcoming and nice. We always have such good service and high quality food there. You can really see the sushi chefs' passion and art through their food and the presentation is top notch. The prices are good for the quality. They have a nice sushi bar and private little rooms if you're having a gathering with friends. My husband and I sometimes get a private room to ourselves!

    100% authentic Japanese food and 100% fabulous! If only I lived in this city and wasn't just visiting for work travel, I would be a regular at this restaurant. I sent a photo of the menu to my Japanese mother and she said next time I come out here, I have to bring her along from Texas. The sushi was super fresh, the service was what you would expect at a sushi restaurant in Japan which is just the absolute best, most friendly, attentive service ever! The moment you walk in the door, you're welcomed with warm smiles and a friendly "Irasshaimase". Love it. There were so many authentic Japanese dishes on the menu to choose from but dining alone, I couldn't order them all, though I really wanted a little bit of everything. I finally decided on the Chirashi and Kaki-fry. Definitely good choices. I got to try all the different fresh sashimi, the presentation was super cute and the kaki fry was fried to crispy perfection. And just look at the photos! Absolutely perfect! I wanted to try their Chawanmushi (one of my mom's favorites) but guess I'll just have to make a trip back to do so. I wanted ALL the things on their menu. I've been to sushi restaurants all across the US and I must say... this one might actually be one of the best. Even their green tea was on point. Can't tell you how many sushi restaurants serve water downed, luke warm, low quality Japanese green tea. And their miso soup came out pipping hot too! Which is an absolute must. Real Japanese sushi chefs and Japanese servers! You'll feel like you've just crossed over the Pacific to Japan. And you know it's good when the restaurant is packed with patrons and Japanese ones at that. If you like the real deal when it comes to Japanese food, look no further. Plus, their price point is surprisingly affordable! Not like the sushi I paid for in Phoenix last weekend that practically broke the bank.

    Great place for authentic Japanese food. Excellent value for lunch. Greeted by our super hospitable waitress, and it reminded me of how it would be done in Japan - service/guest prioritized, frequent checks on how we were doing, respectful. I got the ma bo ramen, which was a yummy mixture of tofu and ground beef. It certainly satisfied the craving for ramen, and the portion size is generous. It was spicy but not too spicy. I could drink the broth as it was not too salty. Ambiance - you know it's authentic when it's only Japanese people or East Asians dining. I like the atmosphere and environment. Not too loud, and tables are spaced such that privacy is ensured despite a public area. Had a "homey" feeling. Not my first time, and it certainly will not be my last.

    Saba battera

    I am so glad I found Sharaku and it was in the same area where we were visiting friends. We went on a Wednesday night pretty late, and it was still relatively busy inside. We sat at the sushi bar in front of Chef Yasu, who was from Okinawa. I was very pleased to find so many authentic dishes on the menu. The evening started with warm wet towels to wipe our hands. I started with saba battera (mackerel pressed sushi in rectangular shape, Osaka-style), which had shiso leaves and ginger pressed in the rice and topped with a sheet of pickled kelp. I also had from the specials "akino" chawanmushi, which had gingko nut, chicken thigh, scallop, shrimp, and kamaboko topped with yuzu peel in a savory egg custard. The chef was intrigued with my palate as I was ordering Japanese favorites. Eric R. got a rainbow roll and scallop nigiri. We both had salmon belly nigiri, and I ordered an uni gunkan. We also ordered the Sharaku roll, which had salmon skin inside, salmon outside, and was topped with ikura, salmon x3! Lots of omega 3s in this meal! We also enjoyed hot tea with our meal, and the staff was very kind in refilling our beverages. As we chatted with Chef Yasu and wrapped up our delicious dinner, he offered us a dessert: mochi stuffed with red bean paste in the style of Niigata prefecture, made by another chef near him. It was very delicious and presented beautifully (see my photo). I would definitely return here if I were back in the area. Itadakimasu!

    Katsudon
    Elaine W.

    Literally everything taste good here. You can go wrong even if you order blindly. Usually get their lunch special and bento box. Both are 10/10 in taste, uniqueness and portion. Decided to try the katsudon today. Pork is juicy, tender and well flavored. Well balanced with the soba and other side dishes. Would like to return and try their omakase dinner next time. Also, services is always 10/10. Some of the waitresses don't speak perfect English, but they always greet you with a smile, and very patiently answer all you questions. Definitely the place to try if you want traditional Japanese food!

    Always listen to a native Japanese when they tell you about a restaurant if you want good food. I hosted a dinner Meetup group there. While there was a little of a mix up about sperate checks, the quality of the service was great. We were in one of the private rooms. Our server gladly took everyone's order and most had multiple items. The food came out as it was prepared, so it was a leisurely pace. He also was good at recommending items when needed. Bring to-go boxes when asked. Everyone one enjoyed the food. We were there on a Saturday night and it stormed heavily enough to cause the lights to go off 3 times. The staff handle those with grace. All of our members thanked me for setting this dinner up. A local TV station had this place on during their local shows on Olympic games to show authentic Japanese food after our visit. So you probably will need to make reservations to make sure you get a table.

    Not my favorite. Thought from the high reviews it would be good but was very disappointed with my meal, especially for the price.

    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!
