    Avocado Ball
    Marv G.

    Atmosphere: Not much to say. Comfortable, nothing special. It feels more casual than the gourmet quality of food provided. We saw another table with a roll that was ablaze. Small dining area, clean and comfortable. Food: Appetizer: Avocado Ball, Me: Chicken Fried Rice, Angry Bird Roll (don't like seafood). My wife: Rainbow Roll, California Sunrise Roll. Great food, savory, spicy and hot stuff came out hot. Chicken was meh with a few gristle bites, and my wife said the salmon was good but the tuna was meh. Service: Excellent, no issues. Friendly and considerate. Overall: Worth checking out.

    Mannnn lemme tell you something!!! The lobster Cigar appetizer had me almost full just eat two pieces! It's delicious and full of flavor and fresh! Everything was splendid. I like the interior and size of the restaurant. Not too many people can fit in there so it definitely gives you more of a small group dining experience. And you definitely feel tended to by your waitress or waiter which we love. The food was very affordable. This is our new GOTO sushi spot.

    Chef James has left the place so sad, same great food with a mega wait time . Had a Avocado Ball OMG Delicious . A side of house made Kimchi n Crab Sticks . She had the Chicken Bento Box. Great Sweetest Day they didn't have a clue why so busy. Yes a full house Tiffany doing a fantastic job taking care of everyone. WTF did our food take 45 minutes, who dropped the ball, seen 12 tables order received food and left before ours. Totally unexpected will never ever step foot in place again, been a dozen times. New owner and crew of 5 cook's need training by Chief James, need to find his new location. #thesushibartaylor @the_sushi_bar #avacadoball #crabsticks #kimchi #bentobox #longwait #wontbeback #downriverfriendseat

    Kid bento box
    Dave G.

    Awesome good served by awesome staff! Kids bento box was a huge amount of food for the price. All the sushi tasted great. Loved the novelty of the adult capri sun with flashing ice cubes. My spicy Korean soup had the perfect spice level- very spicy! Tons of tofu but could have used a little more seafood. Be aware it is a very small restaurant and it was freezing next to the front door. Also the cooked entrees came out a long time after the sushi so order an appetizer. Next time I am trying the Vegetarian Omakase because these chefs know what they're doing!

    This is still the best sushi joint in Metro Detroit. My wife and I come about once a month and it is always a treat. Chef James always treats us like family, the wait staff is generally prompt and always trying to be attentive. As the restaurant continues to get more popular and busy they continue to keep up it seems to me. The place is clean, pleasant, and always a joy to visit. Thank you chef for your continued excellence and I look forward to visiting again soon. Oh ya, the ramen is fantastic. I don't know when it will become a full menu item, but when it does treat yourself!

    Open until 10pm tonight. Ordered an avocado ball with crab inside only, jalapeño bomb and a lobster cigar, popcorn lobster special roll, Cali crunch roll, MSU and a UofM roll. $87.13. Pricey here too. Egad. Hope the food is worth it. They said it would be about 30 minutes. Food wasn't quite ready when I went inside. Had to wait a bit longer for the food be ready. 8 Tables inside and 5 counter seats. It's a bit cramped inside here. I watched the mad frenzy of food out to the table and the carry out orders too. I received a call almost 10 minutes later that chef James forgot the avocado appetizer in the carry out container. They asked if I could return. I said no way, I was too far. I asked if they could just refund the money. They said that they could refund amount. Then they called me back less than a minute later and told me they are making it and will run it out to me. A nice gesture but rather inconvenient for me. I had to wait by a 7-Eleven at Greenfield and Rotunda for them to bring me the missed appetizer. Would have been much easier if they had just credit me the amount and just let it go. Now I am waiting for the one missed appetizer while the rest of the food gets cold. They were at least quick to run it out to me in about 15 minutes or less. Although at this point my food had 25 minutes to cool off by now. The popcorn lobster special roll is okay. The UofM roll was not what I was expecting. I missed the seared tuna when I read it on the Yelp link. Had to remove the seared tuna since neither of us eat fish unless it's fully cooked. The MSU roll was decent. The avocado roll was okay, nothing special about it. The jalapeño bomb and the lobster rolls were pretty good, as was the Cali crunch roll. Those were the 3 better of all of the items consumed tonight. The food and rolls were generally okay, but nothing outstanding. The customer service is quite good here. I will give them that.

    The Menu

    So this place is fairly new so they do not have a liquor license yet but however it is still worth it to come here even if you can't have a drink. I ordered the Miso Soup and between the 3 of us we ordered a bunch of rolls: Godzilla Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Fuji Volcano Fire Roll, Rainbow Roll, Mushroom Roll, and I cant remember the other rolls but I will say each one of these rolls were phenomenal, this place is very much worth trying.

    Love roll, Wonder, Salmon Roll, Shrimp tempura roll and Cali roll.
    Nancy A.

    We've eaten here a lot and we are creatures of habit and order the same food but tonight was try something different and tonight we had the Godzilla roll, monkey brain and salmon on the beach. Everything was great. The salmon on the beach by far my most favorite roll anywhere. Roll has cream cheese, avocado and crab mix wrapped in rice with a broiled baked flaked chunks of Scottish salmon drizzled with a honey bbq sauce. Absolutely Devine. Go get ya some !

    Awesome rolls!

    My wife and I stopped in based off the recommendation of my brother-in-law. Glad we did! Ginger dressing salad was awesome! We got some of the classic rolls (spicy Tuna and yellowtail), 1 naked roll (911) and a signature roll (I am sorry honey). All of the rolls tasted extremely fresh and were scrumptious! Also grabbed a tempura appetizer that was excellent as well. Also, the staff was wonderful! Chefs were making jokes to the patrons and Kim was an great waitress! Will definitely be back and recommend!

    Chicken teriyaki bento box
    Jennifer T.

    The service was very slow they are super nice but very slow. The food is good but over priced. A lot of places have the same food for lower prices. I got the chicken teriyaki bento box. And the green tea. It's bagged not freshly made tea. Just something to consider.

    Kids Bento box is awesome

The stir fry came with soup (chicken noodle) and salad and a bread stick. The garlic bread stick with a stir fry is a little odd, it would be nice if there was a choice of bread. The beer menu is nice! If you're a craft beer fan, there are a lot of options. Love the vibe of the restaurant, this time we're seated on the opposite side and it had a completely different feeling, more cozy than where we were seated the first visit.

They hand make their dumplings as well as many of their items and it shows. The noodles are really good and not your prepackaged variety. In fact the noodles are excellent!

I didn't even see the place (although I did choose it), but my dad really liked it. It reminded him of one of the Claro's Italian Markets in Southern California. I was looking forward to my slices of cheese pizza, but my brother called from the deli to inform me that they only had pepperoni by the slice. Look, I get it. Most people want pepperoni, and when you're serving by the slice, you can't try all these random combos that people might not eat. But no cheese? As in the most basic pizza option? That feels wrong. When I had my veggie sandwich a little later, it was very good. My brother had persuaded the guy to throw in some additional mushrooms. The bread was top notch, and I enjoyed the sandwich. For the price, it should have either been larger or included more vegetables, cheese, all of the above, anything. My dad really enjoyed his sandwich, but my brother was left wanting by his meatball sub. The local-brand potato chips were a nice touch. They use way too much plastic wrap.

It was VERY GOOD. At first seemed like a lot of bread in proportion to deli cuts, but it was a perfect ratio given the spiciness of the coldcuts inside. Cannoli - light shell and filling, not overly sweet. Really liked that they used a dusting of chocolate powder (not bitter cocoa) on the ends vs hard chocolate chips. This has become my new favorite bakery for cannolis! Definitely coming back here to try more of their hot and cold subs and dishes like lasagna, pasties, soups and pasta. Other than those fantastic cannolis they have other delectable pastries, breads, cookies and desserts to try. They also carry specialty Italian grocery items, a large deli with a good selection of meats and cheeses and cold takeout fridges with pastas, whole pizzas and lasagna to bake at home. Very friendly staff, consistent stream of customers picking up subs, pizza slices, breads, and 3 small tables with chairs in the store to sit and enjoy the food if you can't wait until you get home.
