Asahi Sushi - Clinton Township

I really enjoyed the sushi at this restaurant. It was all excellent and served on a cool boat. They also had kid-friendly chopsticks for my son, which made it easy for him to eat. The prices were reasonable and the service was good. The place seemed clean as well. I would definitely return!

I used to enjoy the food at this restaurant, but now it is just not good. I don't plan on returning. I think Kura revolving sushi and Noble Fish are better options.

We were thrilled to discover this hidden gem. Since moving to Michigan, we've been on the search for a good sushi spot. Coming from California, where great sushi is abundant, it's been a challenge finding one here. When my husband's family visited, we all wanted to have dinner together. We stumbled upon this restaurant with excellent reviews and decided to give it a try. We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Sunday with a party of six. We only had to wait for less than 5 minutes before being seated. Our server promptly offered us drinks to start. The menu had a wide variety of rolls to choose from, and we ordered a few that caught our eye. The ambiance was cozy and charming, although the tables felt a bit crowded. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, despite the busy evening. Our order arrived after about 15 to 20 minutes, and we were impressed by the beautiful presentation of the rolls. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were. As I am pregnant, we only ordered baked rolls, and they were flavorful with just the right amount of sauce. Our favorite was the Black Dragon roll, topped with a generous piece of eel. It was both delicious and innovative.

We haven't been here in a long time, mostly because everybody else wants something other than Asian food. My wife surprised me by suggesting this place, so I was happy to return. The location is easy to miss as part of a strip mall. It's small, and a trip to the bathroom feels like you're wandering through an abandoned warehouse. But, don't let appearances fool you. Asahi Sushi serves up some amazing food. Everyone gets an earthy cup of yellow miso soup. Tasty, and since when is anything free anymore? My wife ordered the chicken bibimbap. A spicy barbecue sauce is served on the side, with a traditional assortment of ingredients in the bowl perfectly executed. There is something magical about the rice that fries to a crisp at the bottom of the bowl. Having the sauce separately gives you options regarding how spicy you want it. This is a huge bowl. It's big enough to feed a small family, as long as the family isn't that big and isn't that hungry. No, seriously, there is plenty for today and tomorrow. After perusing the menu, I couldn't *not* order the Crazy Boy Roll, mostly for the name. Crab and avocado sound amazing, but are a little bit bland. However, this is a deep-fried roll, so the exterior is crispy, similarly to the beautiful fried rice on the bottom of the bibimbap bowl. These crispy fried nuggets chew differently from normal sushi, but I like it. The flying fish roe sushi was true to its name: the roe kept flying out of the sushi wrapper. I can't imagine thinking thousands of these little things could possibly be contained by a sushi wrapper. But, I still like the taste. The mackerel sushi was fresh, and they really delivered on the smoked eel, as they always do. Years ago, I could not possibly have imagined turning a freaky looking creature like an eel into something delicious, but here it is. The house sake was a slightly sweet pear flavor, but very drinkable. But, I always order Sapporo when they have it, and they do have it here. The service was good, and in such a small place there's no problem flagging somebody down. I said at the beginning that this place is easy to miss. Having eaten here again, I have to admit it's also hard to forget.

The sushi is always fresh, good and consistent. Would definitely recommend any of the veggie rolls, as well as the shrimp tempura.
