There are plenty of opportunities to get fresh sushi rolls, nigiri, and chirashi bowls for dining in or takeout
One World Market
This sushi bar is located inside a large Japanese grocery store and is a sister restaurant to Noble Fish. The menu including combo trays, rolls, rice bowls, and nigiri is currently available for online ordering and curbside pickup.
Ajishin
The tiny Ajishin attracts big crowds of both locals and tourists to its busy dining room. The exceptionally affordable udon, soba, and sushi, all prepared by a native of Kyoto, are available for carryout.
Sharaku
Sister izakaya Hanzo is closed but Sharaku remains open for limited carryout service and slightly shorter dinner hours in West Bloomfield. Call in to order bento boxes filled with items like sashimi, tempura, and karaage chicken. Udon, curry, and sushi platters with miso soup are also available to go.
Kaku Sushi & Poke
This fast-casual mini chain Kaku Sushi & Poke is open for curbside carryout and delivery in Birmingham and Bloomfield. Diners can expect options like yellow tail and eel nigiri as well as specials like sea urchin and spicy tuna crunch rolls. Call in or place orders online.
Kura Revolving Sushi Bar
Kura has attracted long lines since it opened, of diners wanting to see the state’s only conveyer-belt sushi restaurant. Covered with a dome, more than 140 plates, including sushi, ramen, udon, tempura, and more, roll by on a conveyer belt as diners sit at their tables. Diners can grab what they want, or place an order using a tablet at the table, for delivery via “express belt.”

Take Sushi in Rochester is open for dining in and carryout orders from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays. Call 248-652-7800 or 248-652-4601 to place orders for a variety of rolls, nagiri, and sashimi.
Sozai Restaurant
One of the most critically-lauded sushi restaurants to come to metro Detroit in recent memory, Sozai is known both for its commitment to sustainable sourcing practices and for its omakase meals. Make a reservation and order omakase from the sushi bar for a multi-course meal, which grants diners access to dishes that aren’t usually on the menu. The omakase menu gives guests several options ranging from seven courses to the kappo — an hours-long meal that’s limited only by the chef’s imagination.
Noble Fish
Sushi mainstay Noble Fish had for decades been confined to a cramped space in the back of Noble Fish grocery store. The eatery has since unveiled more spacious seating areas. Customers can drop in to pick up a pack of sushi or place an order online for hand rolls, sushi platters, maki rolls, and more.
TigerLily
Situated inside the space formerly occupied by Antihero, Tigerlily is an inspired sushi and robata grill spot that specializes in Edomae-style sushi, shareable small plates, and fireside cooking.
Sushi Gallery
Madison Heights Japanese-Korean strip mall restaurant Sushi Gallery is open for carryout, and delivery via Grubhub, and dining in. The restaurant serves a wide selection of rolls, sushi lunch combos, and affordable platters as well as items like chirashi and pork katsu.

Ima Izakaya
Ima is already famous for its restorative udon soups, pho, and rice bowls. The Michigan Avenue izakaya is also low-key a legit spot to satisfy one’s sushi hand roll cravings.

The sprawling kitchen includes a cold prep station and the spot’s chef de cuisine Kiyo Miura has more than a decade of experience working in sushi establishments throughout the region. This gives Ima a chance to offer a number of delicious hand rolls, hamachi crudo, ahi tuna tartare, an exquisite poke bowl, and other raw delicacies. Each roll comes with sushi rice, scallion, pickled ginger, wasabi, and yuzu ponzu sauce and is available gluten-free upon request.
Fat Salmon Sushi
This casual sushi spot serves a variety of affordable rolls and nigiri as well as teriyaki chicken meals and Ramune Japanese sodas. Fans of Korean bibimbap will also find the dish well-represented here.
