Today was my first time coming here and it was absolutely the BEST! Sushi was so fresh and tasty, quick service, and the employees (plus owner was there) were all super friendly, kind, and explained everything we asked. We sat at the bar so we could watch them make stuff and they answered our questions about what was being served even when it wasn't our food. I love sushi and I can definitely say this is the best quality I've had in town. Far surpasses everyone else. Give them a try! Plus sooo many gluten free options which a lot of other places are not great about! Great job! 👏💯🍣🤤❤️

Few places have exceptional food, even fewer have exceptional people. The dojo is a beautiful instance of the middle of this rare Venn Diagram. Brent and Randy have become cornerstones in our life up here and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We’ve been coming here since they opened three years ago and the only disappointment is that I haven’t reviewed them earlier. One of the best places in Northern Michigan. Also, life is hard. Treat yourself to the Matcha cookie. You’ve earned it.

Slow, did not wait on me. Waited on others even though I was standing in line. Wailing foreign music. Terrible service. Will not come here again. Expensive.

What an incredible spot. Sushi is the best I’ve had in MI and better than a lot of what I’ve had on the coasts. Its weird location (in an old school) adds to the charm and I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

Oh my! This is NOT just another average sushi joint. This is an experience. Tucked away inside an old school, the location is unique and memorable.
The space is decorated very Japanese and is crisp and clean. The owner, Brent and his team are as kind and humble as they are talented.
The food was excellent! We enjoyed the miso soup, spicy edamame, Garden roll, spicy tuna roll, vegetable roll and King Kombu. Soooo delicious!
The presentation was on point with adorable table settings, quality chopsticks and self serve hot green tea.
This is a small space and carryout is popular. I recommend you eat it there so your taste buds can enjoy every savory bite while it's super fresh.
Cute space. Yummy food. Great logo. Talented chef. Do not pass go, RUN to The Dojo today.

Great service/food and awesome gluten free options. They took great care to make sure that our food was celiac safe.
Second time here! Excellent sushi, poke bowls, and service. Accommodating to allergens. Definitely a destination location! (Traveled here from Ohio, twice.)

This was a great find for quality sushi. They take some risks with the composition of the rolls and it pays off. Incredible taste!
