33 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rochester Hills

“Sushi King is one of those places that doesn’t need luxury to stand out. It’s small, simple, and cozy, but what truly matters is on the plate: incredible sushi, fresh and full of flavor. You don’t go there for the looks—you go because every roll is absolutely worth it. Without a doubt, it’s one of those spots that quietly earns its place as a favorite.“

“What an amazing find! Was in the area on business and discovered this establishment! Can’t wait to return. I love ramen so thought I’d check it out. The lunch specials looked amazing. I ended up ordering a katsu bento box. Delicious! And excellent portion sizes. Can’t wait to return!“

“The masses will talk about the so called “authentic” “hole in the wall” or “novelty” sushi restaurants. The ronin, the noble fish, the kura. These restaurants are for exactly that, the masses. The common folk. And, I hope it stays that way. The real purveyors of fine food and atmosphere know that the best sushi restaurant sits in a humble strip mall sandwiched between a pizza place and auto parts store. Take Sushi is the american melting pot’s version of Japanese izakaya. Intimate, friendly and humble with exceptional food that remains consistent for years. An evening trip to take sushi means you are often sitting shoulder to shoulder, it means dim lights, the faint sound of korean music, and of course, excellent food. The sushi is phenomenal, the hot dishes punch way above their class, and the soups worth a try if you are in the mood for something unique. The atmosphere feels unlike any other establishment in Michigan. It feels lived-in, cozy and authentic, there is little modern influence and that is a good thing. If Take Sushi is anything, it is comforting. This is evident by the near constant “How have you been?” between the staff and each patron who walks in. So if you’re looking for sushi and you haven’t tried Take, arrive hungry, with an empty stomach and open heart. And, if you decide it isn’t for you, that’s ok. There is a corporate mass-appeal sushi restaurant that should do the trick.“

“I eat at many very good restaurants. However, very few bring me joy. Neko Sushi brings me joy from the people to the food. That is why I return regularly.“

“they were super fast and the waiters took time to assist several tables who were new to the menu and had no idea what anything was. the staff was all super friendly and accommodating!“

“I am absolutely outraged with the behavior of the owner today at SOHO. My family and I went to this restaurant after Saturday little league games. We had 5 adults, 5 children and 2 babies. We have been to this restaurant countless times as a family. Today, after sitting and looking an menus, ordering drinks, we were met by the manager that came to our table and said “I’m sorry our limit is 8 people”. Confused, we asked for clarity because again, we have been to this restaurant countless times with the SAME group and number of people. In fact, we have NEVER been to this restaurant with less people. I asked, “wait are you saying we can’t eat here today because of the number of people?“ THAT is how confused I seriously was. The manager then responded, “Yes, I’m so sorry”. I pointed out to him that we had been sitting, getting ready to order for quite some time. Moments before this, the waiter came to take our orders but had to leave to grab us extra napkins. He said that his waiter called him all the way from his home because he couldn’t “do it” - referring to asking us to leave. There were quite a few other staff members there. So if this was a rule, why didn’t any of them point it out to the “new person” or let us know right away Of their “party limit”.? Please know we went on a Saturday around 330pm and there was two other parties in the entire restaurant - totaling only 5 other people. To me, if I had a party that was a few people over my “limit” I would not kick them out one, but definitely not when my restaurant is close to empty and the party has already been sat. Because of my “new team members” error- as a manager, I would have continued to serve this party. I need to point out that NONE of us in our entire lives have ever been asked to leave ANYWHERE. We are a Christian family of Pastors and ministers. I say this to speak to our character. There was no behavior on our end, that warranted this. I also pointed out that the table we were sitting at was DESIGNED for more than 10 people. We didn’t come into the restaurant moving tables and chairs together, the table was already set up for 12 people to sit there. I asked the manager why we were sat and waited on For all this time to then be kicked out? He claimed that the person who was our waiter was new and didn’t know their 8 people limit rule. I pointed out the fact that the table we were sitting at was set up for 12 And asked why that is if they had a limit of 8? He then said with our number of kids - it is not safe for them in the restaurant because their establishment serves alcohol. So first it was because our party was more than 8 and then it turned into being an issue with the number of kids? There is absolutely no reason for this behavior. To me, the only thing that makes any sense is it being racially discriminatory. I strongly urge you to no longer go to this restaurant. Of course, we left with no issue because if we are not welcome or wanted because of race or any other invalid reason- we don’t want to eat at the restaurant anyways. But point of my review is to prevent this from happening to anyone else. we used to love this place and our entire family would come. never again, even with 2 people will I step foot in this establishment and I will strongly encourage everyone I know and everyone that’s reading this to do the same.“

“Some middle aged man pushed me into a TV there. very great service.. the man was rather hot.“

“Highly recommend, the salmon and tuna were very fresh! The michigan bulldog was crispy and crunchy on the outside and full of flavor. Definitely made by a highly skilled sushi chef. 💯“

“I was impressed. Came in for a carry out for the first time. Had 7 different rolls. Food was delicious, price wasn't too expensive, and staff was welcoming and friendly! The one lady was even going to hold the door for a customer with a large take out order, but I beat her to it 😁

Highly recommend and I will be coming back!“

“Love the sushi here and the atmosphere!“

“First time there today. Ordered a carry out- fast and efficient. Special today buy one get one free Yum Yum rolls. Delicious!! Miso soup also very good. Will definitely be back.“

“delicious and great presentation“

“Everything was absolutely amazing from the time we walked in the door until we left. We came in to celebrate our moms first heaven birthday. Chef Tony had us in stitches the entire time. So much fun. Karol was very attentive and always kept our drinks full. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making a fun night our families needed it.“

“Ordered carryout but the restaurant was nice and the employees were smiling and polite. That's always appreciated. We ordered a vegetable teriyaki dinner and two chicken teriyaki dinners with special requests. All were correct. Also ordered a crab Rangoon appetizer which was excellent. The food is not heavily seasoned which we prefer. You're given yum yum sauce and a type of soy sauce which is the perfect addition to the teriyaki dinner. Each dinner combo comes with a very small salad and a cup of miso soup. Both were good. A dinner should be enough for 2 meals imo. Nice place. Plan on coming back.“

“The food is always good here, and I love the sushi selection. But not to mention the only buffet I know of that serves sake! I recommend trying this place at once.“

“Everything is fresh and delicious“

“Great, atmosphere and food! A real bonus with free crispy cheesecake for our birthdays“

“my favorite place to go. not just the amazing food but the whole atmosphere. they are always very nice and welcoming. this is a place I will always come back too. I've honestly been satisfied with everything I've tried but some of my favorites are the dragon roll, smokey and crispy, and the unaju.“

“I have been eating here for years and I get the same two things that I switch on and off with (Royal noodle and Kao Pud Prik) both of these are DELICIOUS and the reason why I keep coming back!:) a great family owned restaurant with yummy Thai food who give great portions and better yet…… know how to make it SPICY!! would highly recommend to anyone in the area“

“Delicious food and good service. Friendly staff“

“first time there last night and it was amazing!“

“I got a steak and mushrooms with fried rice and veggies. Everything was delicious and fresh. The restaurant was very clean and orderly.

Keep in mind that a surcharge is added to your bill . I think the surcharge was $7.?? I can't recall the cents.

I will be returning soon...😉“

“This place is awesome! such friendly staff, food was beyond amazing and place was really clean! will definitely be back.“

“I’ve been trying a lot of different sushi spots around town, and as soon as I tried Bahdah, it was an instant favorite!“

“Excellent sushi and they are super close by our new shop!“

“Great place, great owners and one of the best spots for sushi around...“

“Great customer service and quick service. I had the curry rice bowl and my son had the spicy ramen noodles with chicken.“

“Been here a few times already but I love coming back with new people to try it. We got the classic cotton cake and the ube cotton cake. The ube is my favorite and the flavor blows me away every time. The cotton cakes are so light and fluffy. We got a cotton candy frappe and a cookies and cream frappe to go with the cotton cakes and those were a bit disappointing. They weren't really blended well and tasted like a melted vanilla ice cream with a hint of the flavor. Not frozen at all. They looked pretty though.
Side note to mention that the bathroom door button lock had fallen off and the employee helped me find it and put it back on but they are aware it needs to be fixed.
I plan on continuing to come back to this place as the cotton cakes never disappoint“

“Its just a small sushi shop with, you guessed it, sushi! I enjoyed the meal, it was simple. Gyoza, cancun rolls, spicy California, and lemonade. Its a cute little place. I went in the afternoon to eat. Not many people there. My overall dining experience was cozy with good food. I did eat by myself and paid almost 40$“

“First visit. Sushi was very fresh and delicious. Rolls were small by comparison to other places. Service was slow considering only a few customers when we arrived. Very reasonably priced. Quaint atmosphere. We would go again to try other choices based on the freshness of our order.“

“You may have a wait because the place is small however the authentic Japanese food is well worth it.“

“Awesome place for Karaoke 🎤! Definitely feels like going back to asia! And the staff is soo very friendly and nice! We had such a great time! Thank you soo much! 🫶🏻🤗💕🙌🏻“

“It's always a beautiful experience“
