Noble Fish

02/12/2008 Posted by jaguarbob

Noble Fish has the best, most authentic sushi in the Detroit area - possibly in all of Michigan. In fact, I've been all over the country, and Noble Fish rivals some of the best sushi bars I've been to on the West Coast. The grocery store is great too, and the whole experience really brings me back to my days in Japan. They sell Asahi and Sapporo beer, and even some of my "konbini" (Japanese convenience store) favorites such as soba sandwiches and unadon. This has been one of my weekly stops since I moved to Royal Oak.

Pros: Excellent and fresh sushi, friendly service, good selection of Japanese groceries

Cons: Hard to get a table at peak times, parking can fill up

good sushi is hard to come by here, i've tried nami (overrated, poor service, rude staff) and cafe sushi (delicious, but a little pricey) but noble fish is hands-down the best sushi in the area. it's a quaint atmosphere - the staff is very friendly and they serve extremely fresh fish with large portions. i'm sad i didn't discover this place earlier. for those who have tried yotsuba, saica, or miki's in ann arbor, i would definitely rate noble fish among the same class as these places, if not better. the only negative is the atmosphere, it's an in-and-out place, good for carry out, but not exactly dine-in. the tables are small and you'll probably have to wait to get seated, but it's definitely worth the wait. the prices are very reasonable, too. anybody who loves sushi should give noble fish a shot. you won't be disappointed.

Pros: portion size, freshest fish

Cons: limited seating

The sushi is wonderful and moderately priced. Every piece of fish is remarkably fresh and succulent. It's best to plan for take-out, because the small seating area fills quickly. At noble fish, you will find an excellent selection of fresh, frozen and packaged groceries, including some rare treats - imported gobo (burdock) came in this week. It's a great little variety store. They offer some housewares and novelty items - ranging from teapots and dishes to origami paper. You may rent Japanese movies. I highly recommend browsing the candy selection for fun gifts. (And always remember to park in back. Neighboring ACO Hardware is quick to ticket or tow your vehicle if you park in their lot.)

Pros: fresh, good selection, great variety, friendly service, clean, popular

Cons: closed on Monday

It's a grocery store with a little sushi bar in the back, you can buy fresh fish to shampoo and if you like to collect toys they have the coolest toys. The seating is small and packed in but it gives for a great experience and people don't sit long and chit-chat so you don't end up waiting forever. Order your food after you sit down if there's a wait for a table, or take it to go and it's just as good. They have prepackaged that you can buy that's also to die for. I recommend getting one of the drinks from the cooler that has the marble in it, strawberry and peach are the best...the Hello Kitty one taste kind of like Sprite. There's also a bunch of drawings on the wall from patrons that adds a nice touch.

Pros: Quick and great Ambience

Cons: Parking - don't park in the ACE hardware lot, they ticket

Small Sushi bar in the back of a great unique Japanese Market, the eating area has about 8 two person tables, so be there during off peak times if you like to eat out. They do made to order carry-out as well as pre-made daily selections along with fresh filets of Sashmi grade fish for you to take home. Noble has the best selection of fish (Marlins, Snappers, etc.) and THE FRESHEST FISH IN THE METRO AREA because they supply a number of different Sushi places with fish. And they have no stupid rolls with 10 different kinds of fish in the same roll, pretty much your standard rolls. The rolls and Sashmi are always expertly made because the Rice is so well prepared and never falls apart easily. I hate to write such a review because there's only one table my wheelchair can fit at and if it gets too busy (like it is often) then I can't eat there.

Pros: Super fresh, some different fish, very cheap

Cons: small seating area, too busy

I have some friends that I go with that drive 40 miles to go to Nami. Best sushi around! The wait staff are ready to help with whatever they can. The only drawback is that it is very small and you get your own tea and water out of styrofoam cups but I happen to think that is part of it's charm. Nami is addicting.

Pros: Food and service

Cons: It's very small and the parking isn't the best.

This sushi bar is in the back of a Japanese grocery store, which features cozy (japanese type of cozy) seating, long waits if you go there in the wrong time, good sushi and definitely good price. The place is down to earth. You'll find people from all walks of life (more professionals) eating there without an attitude of this being some kind of place to be seen. It's very busy, the wait for sushi may be a bit, but the Miso soup comes right up, as well as the self service green tea. The rolls are excellent, the sushi is mostly fresh as turnover is high. Yes, I do recomend michigan roll. If you sit at the bar, you'll find the chefs friendly and down to earth. After your meal, you can shop for all the Japanese groceries you like. Yes, there is one place better, which is Ajishin...but that's 30 minutes away.

Pros: Suchi, Miso, friendly people

Cons: the wait

As a sushi connoisseur, I think this place is great. To summarize... This place is crowded, parking is terrible... But, the sushi is cheap, and the Best sushi in Oakland county. To my opinion, only Ajishin in Novi is better.

Pros: sushi, price

Cons: parking, crowded

20 dollars for dinner for 2! try the michigan roll very good. this place is kinda weird because the restaurant is in the back of the store and its really small and the hours are weird too but the people there are really nice its wortha try for sure!

Pros: good sushi

Cons: hours, restaurant to small
