    The establishment, service and food was amazing!! The decor was very inviting, even the bathroom was beautiful . The bartender was so friendly and patient. The flavors of each dish was delicious. I will be heading back asap! Lobster sandwich, and lobster are the dishes I tried.

    Went for brunch and had the honey butter pancakes, they definitely lived up to the hype! Absolutely delicious. The drinks were strong, the service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was great.

    Bao Buns

    TigerLily offers an extensive menu, featuring some excellent food. The service is friendly and professional, and the interior is spacious. The layout includes three bars: the main bar, the sushi bar, and the tiki bar. The crab rangoon cheese katsu sticks were as good as they sound. I was worried there wouldn't be much crab, but that wasn't the case. The lobster tail robata was easy to peel, and complemented well by its accompaniments. The pork belly robata was tender, while the tare added some sweetness. Of the two, I preferred the pork belly. I've had four of the six bao buns. The chicken had a char flavor, and the steak sauce added some welcome moisture. The filet was tender, with a bold but not overbearing garlic aioli. The pork belly was also tender, glazed with a sweet honey, and balanced by some savory pickles. The sausage had a nice snap, and the Fresno peppers gave it a bit of a kick. The filet and pork belly were my two favorites. The sushi is some of the best I've had locally. The shikotsu roll (wagyu and bone marrow) was incredibly rich and buttery. $36 may seem steep, but it's the most memorable sushi roll I've ever had. The toro (fatty tuna) to caviar was also very impressive, and had soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Here's how I rank the nigiri I've tried: 1. Tamago (omelette) 2. Madai (sea bream) 3. Aji (horse mackerel) 4. Shima Aji (striped jack) 5. Ikura (salmon roe) 6. Uni (sea urchin) Lastly, for dessert, I've had the key lime pie. It was remarkably fluffy and honestly one of the best slices I've had. Simply put, TigerLily blew me away. I can confidently say it's one of my favorite restaurants in the Metro Detroit area. I'll be back soon to try the brunch, noodle, and sandwich options.

    Double Trouble
    Greg B.

    This is a great space! Light and airy, very comfortable for a group, or an intimate dinner. A waiter was very patient and very nice, he helped us with their selections, and didn't steer us wrong. We definitely enjoyed the spicy dragon roll, however the double trouble was a little rich. I don't necessarily know if I like the heavy sauce that was over the roll. The sriracha and the garlic both tasted good, it was just overpowering.

    Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place is amazing!!!!!!! I've been wanting to come here for a few years and it was definitely worth the wait. I can see why this place is always busy. Reservations recommended. The Fried Brussels are delicious! The crab Rangoon cheese katsu sticks are really cool and interesting. Like thick mozzarella sticks but with crab Rangoon instead of mozzarella. The Shikotsu Roll is fantastic!!!!!!!! Mind blowing good! Wagyu, butter and miso bone marrow, avocado, shallots, garlic and more. The bone marrow is melted on top of the roll. The Sake Trio roll is really crunchy from the salmon skin and pikachu crunch. I also love the Tigerlily roll with salmon,cucumber, tempura shrimp, and eel sauce. Excellent, friendly, and attentive service. Cool, sleek, modern decor. Amazing experience! Can't wait to come back and try more things!

    First timer but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The restaurant is bright, clean, and vibrant inside. Our server was Israel and he was so patient and friendly and Nate (I believe) brought my friend fruit since she couldn't share my salad with me. We started with the Wasabi Caesar which was one of the best Caesar salads I've had. So fresh! I was craving sushi though! I started with the Tigerlily roll and Israel said it was a good choice, and it really was! Delicious! I really enjoyed it. My friend got the Shrimp Tempura roll and liked it a lot, so we got one more to share! The service was outstanding, the food was amazing, and the drinks were good too! Can't wait to return!

    Breakfast Platter
    Jessy R.

    Strictly a brunch review! First time checking out brunch here and feels like the restaurant is still figuring some things out. While my group came here on a day where the kitchen was short a cook, this could have impacted the food. I ordered the Breakfast Platter with spam and fried rice - overall it was just okay. The fried rice came out and was not remotely hot and the spam was a bit burnt as you can see. The toast did not come with anything to put on it either which I thought was unusual there wasn't even jam to offer. As far as a drink, I ordered the bloody Maria... which will have you on your butt fair warning, but tasty. Our server was great and was upfront about the kitchen staffing and warned us that our food would not come out all at the same time (not a big deal for us). Hoping my experience was just a one time thing and my next visit back will be improved!

    We were here for the brunch with a party of 4 and tried a lot of the menu. Everything was good, including the famous pancakes. The espresso martini was refined and delicious. Our server was so friendly and advised us wisely on the menu.

    Use to be sooo good but the quality has gone down for sushi. Rice was very mushy last time we got the nigiri tasting. Also too much rice to fish ratio. Their rolls are good but the sushi doesn't hit like it use to. I think they are driving more brunch and hot foods due to demographics in the area. Def miss the sushi chefs that use to run the sushi bar. I didn't mind paying a good amount here to get good quality sushi but now I don't think it's worth it. Overall 3.5 stars where it's at now.

    Dragon Roll
    Sydni P.

    10000/10.. TigerLily is one of my FAVORITE restaurants in Metro Detroit. First impression of the restaurant is the space and ambiance, which is stunning and super cool. Then the drinks, the lychee martini is perfect. All of the hand rolls are delicious, but the tuna avo is my favorite (on the happy hour menu!) The crab Rangoon cheese katsu sticks are the best thing I have ever had. It's a mix of crab Rangoon and a mozzarella stick... insane. The chicken bites and sauce are extremely delicious if you're looking for something different. And my favorite sushi rolls... the dragon roll and Chris p crunchy roll. Have to shout out our server, Dre, because she was absolutely wonderful. Made the experience even more amazing than it already was.

    Had a nice dinner sitting at the bar before a show at the Magic Bag. They kindly got us in and out as we were in a bit of a time crunch. My Bulma mocktail was great, not just basic juice and soda -- it was something special and did have a bit of a kick with the jalapeno. This place gets busy to have a reservation if you can, if not they can try to seat you at one of the bars (a great alternative!) Solid choice for Japanese in Ferndale. I'd go again!

    Five stars all day. Every roll coming out looked insane, and every bite was even better than the last, fresh, flavorful, and perfect. The service made everything easy, and the energy in the room was fun but still chill, the kind of place where you just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy every bite.

    The restaurant itself was very clean and nice. We ordered a ramen and the coconut milk dumpling ramen. The noodles tasted really good but both of our broths were wayyy too salty. The tigerlilly sushi roll was absolutely amazing as well as the shishito peppers. The staff was very friendly and we got seated immediately on a Wednesday evening. For how expensive the ramen was and for the broth to be way too salty that's way I'm giving it a 3 star.

The menu is accessed through a QR code on the table, which I'm personally not a huge fan of since I try to stay off my phone while dining. That said, the menu is extensive with plenty of variety, so there really is something for everyone. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. We ordered the Gyoza, California Roll, Ruby Roll, Tekka Don, and Miso Soup. Everything was good, but the Tekka Don was definitely my favorite, and the Miso Soup was delicious as well. The drinks were probably the biggest disappointment. The beer was overpriced, especially considering the serving sizes and compared to what we've paid for many of the same beers at other restaurants, where they're often available on draft as well. The wine selection could also use some major improvement. Most of the options leaned toward the sweeter side, and the quality just didn't seem to match the quality of the food. Since I couldn't find a wine I wanted, I ordered the Lychee Martini instead. It was okay, but definitely not worth the price, and I wouldn't have ordered a second pretty sweet. The wine and cocktails are priced similarly to what you'd expect to pay for higher-end drinks, but unfortunately, the quality just isn't there. These felt more like $7 drinks being sold at premium prices. Even the presentation of my martini was a little strange--it was garnished with two loose flower petals rather than a full flower, which looked more odd than intentional. Unfortunately, the drink selection would probably be the biggest reason we'd choose carryout or another restaurant next time. When I go out for dinner, having a really good glass of wine or a well-made cocktail is part of the experience for me, especially when the drinks are priced at a premium. Service was friendly, and our server was helpful and knowledgeable, but unfortunately it was slow. It took a while to get drinks, additional soy sauce, or have someone check back with us, and we had to flag our server down several times. To be fair, they definitely weren't standing around doing nothing. Bash seemed to have a steady stream of carryout orders, and our server spent much of our visit packing those orders. We actually felt bad for how slammed they were compared to the rest of the servers. It seems like they either need a dedicated person handling carryout or additional staff so the dine in service doesn't suffer when takeout is busy. Overall, the food was excellent and absolutely worth returning for. With some improvements to the drink selection and staffing, the dine in experience could be just as good as the food.
