Little Tree Sushi Bar

I love Little Tree. Try the Ono or Escolar if you like straight fish, or the King Kong roll and theLittle Tree Roll are my other favorites. Excellent food, reasonably priced for what you are getting, and a fun atmosphere. It gets very busy on the weekend, but worth the wait!

Pros: awesome sushi

Cons: busy. don't love the thai selections.

This is the best Sushi in the United States. I have eaten at all of them from the West Coast to the East Coast. Little Tree rocks them all!

Pros: GREAT FRESH SUSHI

Cons: NONE

Little Tree is a comfortable place to go for a nice, quick dinner. The food is good. I have tried food from every part of the three-pronged menu. I was a little disappointed with their Phillipine version of Paella, but I've always had good sushi and Tom Yam soup. The service is usually good, with somewhat long-ish waits on weekends. We go here quite often because you get something that i feel no other restaurant on Main street RO has: reasonable price and solidly good food.

Pros: Solidly good food

Cons: sometimes longer waits to be saeted

7/13/07 We went to Little Tree on a Friday night - and as we expected the restaurant was quite busy. The location seems to be what drives the crowds as it certainly wasn't the food. Little Tree's menu is split into 3 cuisines: Japanese, Thai and Philippino (we did not try any of the Philippino foods). My party ordered some sushi: Saba nigiri, Spicy California roll, Pickle-Radish roll, Spicy Scallop nigiri. We also ordered Tom-Yum soup and these appetizers: Tofu Pad Thai, Gyoza, Thai Spring Rolls, Agedashi-Tofu, and Beef Satay. In a nutshell: The nigiri was tiny: the smallest I've seen at a sushi restaurant in lower Michigan. The fish wasn't bad tasting but rather flabby/mushy in texture (improperly frozen in transit perhaps?) They brought a regular California roll instead of spicy - it was bland and tasteless with tough sugary rice. The Spicy Scallop nigiri was tasty. The Tom-Yum soup was a travesty: It was Miso soup in which they stirred some thai red curry paste. The appetizers were all bad: The Gyoza had a thick doughy/crunchy outter shell with italian-sausage flavored fatty pork on the inside. The satay was expensive and consisted of 2 thin, tough slivers of mummified beef - the peanut sauce was tasty but didn't save the sad dish. The Agedashi Tofu was the worst: tasted of used fry-oil - the batter was thick and oily, the broth tasted like tap water - very disappointing. The Thai Springrolls seems to be covered in deep-fried flour tortilla (was a bizarre wrap - not sure what it was). They were seasoned with what tasted to be southwest seasoning - the filling was mushy and bland. Pad Thai was ok - asked for it spicy, it wasn't. Also extremely sugary/cloyingly sweet. Overall OK but not worth the $$. Our waiter was very nice/capable, we felt bad that he was serving such awful food. The atmosphere was very "chain restaurant" - the clients loud and boisterous. Not a pleasant dining experience despite the nice service.

Pros: Nice Servers

Cons: Terrible food, vulgar patrons with spots-bar feel, long waits on weekends.

Great place to meet coworkers and business associates. I first visited this restaurant with a former boss, who knows good sushi, and it was one of his favorite restaurants. I was a relative newbie to the sushi experience, but absolutely loved everything he ordered for us (which was quite a bit). The waitress was very helpful (and patient) with all my questions, and very accomodating to special requests. Highly recommend for those new to Japanese cuisine.

Pros: Great sushi

Cons: Service is friendly & helpful but a bit slow

- The food was simply edible, very bland. - We were seated promptly, but not noticed for several minutes by our waitress, even though the restaurant was not busy. - After taking several minutes to (finally) take our order, our waitress was overall very rude. I later called to complain and the manager would not even state that she would speak to the waitress regarding her conduct. Needless to say, I've "written-off" this restaurant.

Pros: Location

Cons: Food, Service

The sushi here is good, although not as good as I'd heard. It's tasty but has too much rice in it. I did like the spicy sauce a lot too.

Pros: Spicy sauce, sake/wine menu

Cons: Sort of expensive, too much rice in the rolls

Pros: great food, location, and service

Cons: crowded and not good for a big group

I dont understand these bad reviews.. I have eaten at Little Tree for years, and it has remained my favorite restaurant. The service for me has never been below par, and is almost always above average- and never slow, even with a crowd. The Thai food is different from your average dishes, but good nonetheless. The Tom Yum soup they serve is one of my favorites, even though it is different. The Tosilog/Topsilog dish is my favorite, I recommend it to anyone who likes any sort of asian food. ^_^ The sushi I've had there has always been above average... They have a very consistent,satisfied customer in me...

Pros: service, food, price

Cons: busy on weekends, parking
