“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!“

“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.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“Everything is fresh and delicious“

“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!“

“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.“

“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$“

“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“
