Wasabi is a go-to for me in Detroit if I'm looking for decent priced sushi or bibimbap. The interior space is pretty nice and the service is always really friendly. The menu is pretty extensive, so there's a lot of options to choose from. I usually stick to sharing a sushi roll and then ordering the bibimbap, but there's definitely a lot to choose from. It's not as upscale as other sushi places in the area, but I think it's great as a more affordable alternative.

The kimchi here is usually fireee but i just tried the noodles were def giving maruchan instant. Sushis pretty good, theres a koren soup i tried a while back that was bomb but the ramen needs a lot of work

Portion sizes are huge, especially for the entrees. I ordered their galbi, ate my fill then had enough to have for two more meals afterwards. If you ask, they will give you a side of kimchi! I think they opened recently or are going through a remodel so don't be thrown off by some of the clutter inside. This is a great spot for homey Korean food.

If you want extremely affordable, high quality sushi, go here. This is not only the best quality sushi in the area, it is somehow the most affordable when it comes to the basic rolls (tuna avocado roll, salmon roll etc.). Like it is cheaper than rolls from a Grocery Store with far far greater quality! I think they're able to do this because of their very, very low overhead. Whenever I want sushi, I come here, and am never disappointed. One of the best values in all of Detroit! P.S. They'll let you sit in the back of the restaurant for a take out order if you ask

This place is something special. Knowledgeable staff and skillful sushi chef's. Do yourself a favor and let the chef pick for you, especially if you love sashimi. Set in a quaint historic old mall with easy access from the road, just steps from the art museum, this restaurant is my favorite place for lunch when I'm in the area on a trip to the DIA. I've sampled much of their menu and they can do no wrong. I love sushi and I go out of my way to visit this place for the freshness alone, it's the best in the area.

I was hanging out in the downtown area for 313 Day and stopped in for sushi. The service by Sarah was good. She was courteous, friendly and attentive. An artist too who drew a caricature of us. It's got a quaint atmosphere. I ordered the Firecracker roll, shrimp tempura roll, CA roll and a ramen bowl. The rolls were decent. My daughter liked her ramen although it was spicy. They didn't have low sodium soy which I prefer as regular soy is too salty to me. I would go back. Would I go out of my way to? Not so much.

Came here for dinner and it was a pretty interesting experience. My partner and I dined in and were taken to the seating out of the restaurant. We've never been here before so we were quite confused. There was a lobby and shop near by. The waitress asked if we wanted any drinks or miso soup to start, my partner asked for water. This is the first time, I think, where we were ever charged for getting water when dined in. In their defense, they did give us a water bottle, but that was kind of funny. Food was pricey. We usually get rainbow rolls at sushi restaurants but here it's about $18 for the roll. We ended up ordering the spicy Cali roll, Alaskan roll, and the pork katsu. Our order came in to go boxes. We were confused to be honest. Waitress was nice, but only brought us our food. We had to throw away our own trash when we were done. Went in to paid afterwards. Didn't really felt like a normal dine in restaurant, more like a place you order and an option to sit near by to eat. Food was pleasantly good though! Pork katsu wss pricey but the portion was generous. Definitely my favorite and I would order the same thing again. The sushi rolls hit the spot as well. Close walk from the DIA, nice location. Pricey but would recommend.

I live in the area and had been curious about this place. From the outside it looks like it would be a nice sitdown restaurant. I was not expecting the dining room to be full of restaurant supplies and boxes. There is somewhere you can sit in the hallway if you want to dine in, but it's a bit odd. I thought the food was very good and very reasonably priced. The service was very accommodating and pleasant.

Low key, I love this joint. It's pricy especially if you use an app to have food delivered. The inside is small and not sure if it's still carry out only. The Kimchi Chigae I highly recommend. Parking is there. In and out on the side next to the DIA. For one roll, the soup I recommended, and maybe an app you are looking close to 50 dollars so this is expensive. Cannot comment on service as mentioned I don't think this place has had indoor seating since before the panny. Worth a try. Just pricy.
