5 Best Japanese Restaurants in Novi

“The Good:
They've got legit Japanese chefs and a massive menu, so you've got tons of options. The staff is friendly and they don't drag their feet getting your food out. Plus, the prices won't break the bank for most things.

The Hamachi and Katsuo no Tataki were fresh wins, the Onion-Lever is a standout with fantastic texture, and that Akadashi Miso Soup with herbs and seaweed sounds like a real treat!

The Not-So-Good:
Watch out for some misses. The Soba soup apparently has a funky, sour thing going on. The Potato Salad is a letdown in the flavor department, and the fried oysters miss the mark on texture.

The Bottom Line:
Fumi's a mixed bag. You can have a great meal here, but you've gotta be smart about what you order. Stick to the fresh fish, the Onion-Lever, and that special miso soup, and you'll likely be happy. Venture off that path, and you might end up with something you regret. Choose wisely!“

“Incredible food. I miss getting their lunch specials.
Curry rice was fantastic.
I can't recommend this place enough.

In this day and age they don't have any online platforms to order from. Just good old phone in an order.

They are that good.“

“Very interesting menu and excellent service. The waitresses were very friendly and took time to explain the dishes. As it was the end of the lunch service we just ordered a meat bento box and the spicy Yanyeum fried chicken. Both dishes arrived quickly and we're delicious. The chicken portions were enough for 2 meals. We loved the authentic interior with souvenirs from Japan and Korea. The lady owner has travelled widely, is extremely passionate and is very keen to share her culinary experiences with clients. I highly rate this restaurant and will definitely eat here when I'm next in Cheltenham.“
