This place is simply outstanding! It’s easily one of our favorite restaurants in Detroit. When we first visited it late in 2024, we knew we had to make it a monthly rotation, and we still never feel like we’ve had enough of it. Haha! The Kanpachi Ponzu, Wagyu, Tako-Age, Kaarage, Toro sashimi and the Tuna Jalapeño roll are some of our favorites. You gotta make reservations about a week ahead.

Great Ambiance and Service. KYURI TATAKI is a marinated cucumbers in spicy miso vinegar, roasted nori, sesame oil, crispy garlic sauce. The sauce goes almost with everything. Definitely with the sushi rolls. Should have that sauce on the menu as a new menu item. Curry Katsu is panko breaded chicken wirh japanese curry and seasonal pickles. Also another great dish. Good savory notes and nice portion as well.

Being able to dine at this restaurant was a bit of a roller coaster. We came knowing it was an upscale japanese restaurant but knew nothing else about it. When you walk in you have to go down a set of spiral stairs to get to the main part of the restaurant. We had reservations for 5 people and were seated at a booth that was a bit crowded for more than four. There was barely any lighting, our main source was a small tea candle at the table. I did love the table setting that included a mini cinder block chopstick rest. There was a plate of wet towels rolled up sitting in the middle of the table as well. We didn't know what they were for but our server had mentioned the towels at least 5 times without explanation and I had to Google what they were for. Apparently you're supposed to wipe your hands clean as soon as you sit down as a sign of hospitality. It would have been nice if our server clued us in on this as none of us had really formally dined in a restaurant that participated in traditional customs. Once our server saw that all of the wipes were used, he removed them without saying anything. For drinks, we ordered some espresso martinis that were on the sweeter side and I ordered a cup of macha green tea. There was also waters for the table that our server was on top of refills the entire night. We ordered several starter items to try including the chicken thigh and scallop charcoal grilled skewers, spicy edamame, chicken kaarage, octopus takoage, and tuna tartare sushi roll. The wasabi is homemade too which is cool. We enjoyed all of the plates and the pacing was very nice as I wasn't even full yet before ordering a main course. For our entree's we ordered the duck soba, shoyu ramen, wagyu beef hotpot, soboro donburi, the tuna jalapeno Maki roll, and some sashimi. Everything was so beautifully plated and presented. We liked the little seaweed strips provided to wrap around the maki and eat with. The poached egg in the donburi and the sweet soy sauce mixed in was so flavorful. It was a fun meal. We still had room for dessert, so we ordered the miso chocolate cake and the matcha pavlova. Both were good but I liked the cake more as it was paired with ice cream and tasted better with the stickiness of the cake. We were celebrating a birthday and they gave us the cake on the house with a candle in it and we appreciated that. Towards the end of our meal, the sous chef came up and introduced himself and checked on us which was nice. I feel the need to mention that the bathrooms are not gender separate and just a shared bathroom with stalls and communal sink. It is a bit odd and I can see a lot of people having a problem with it. Overall, it was an okay experience and the food was decent but not enough to come back anytime soon.

The ambiance here is beautiful, and the food is even better. The nigiri is always fresh, & a nice selection to choose from. The beef tongue is AMAZING the chimichurri sauce is straight from of heaven. The pork bao buns never disappoint. Everything I’ve had here so far has been phenomenal. Really gorgeous date night spot.

The restaurant is located at the basement of Washington Histrionic District. We went to celebrate our anniversary. The service was top notch even it was busy but they came checked on us periodically and when they brought the dishes over they brief what in it. The food was very delicious I have been to so many Japanese restaurants and this one can definitely compare to other superior one . I would definitely recommend any one who live in Mid West to go try this place. No word can describe this restaurant is really one of a kind.
