The spicy roll left my mouth with the perfect burn. Everything was fresh and my service from Dawn was excellent. I was worried stopping in an airport sushi restaurant but it proved unfounded.

Food was mediocre at best. When my partner went to the restroom, the bartender told me she wouldn’t serve us anymore because of the way my partner “got up.” My partner has cognitive deficits and severe PTSD as a result of his time as a...police officer. But, sure, perceive that as over-served. Never, never have we been treated this way. I am hurt for my partner who will never know about this. I am angry for the way we were treated both as a fierce friend and mental health professional. Shame on you.More

Subpr, especially for the price. Gyoza dumplings were overcooked and stale. Sushi rolls were mostly rice. Rice was not soft and it was not flavored. Barely any meat. More cucumber and avocado than meat. Very flavorless. Have had better sushi for 1/4th the price.

So glad we decided to wait and have dinner in the airport while waiting for our flight. The sushi in this restaurant is so fresh and amazing!! Our server was also amazing. She was funny, friendly, and prompt.

I visited twice. My first visit, a few months ago, was a pleasant surprise, but this time the sushi tasted a bit flat. I'll give it another try some next time, but if it stays like this, it is not at the right price/quality point.

I was wondering if airport Ramen was going to be any good at all but turns out it really is. There were so many servers and they were very quick and courteous, there were plenty of chefs behind the counter and service was very fast....They do dine-in or walk out orders and though some people think it’s pricy, remember: it’s an airport. The Ramen Noodle bowl was what I ordered and honestly the price wasn’t that bad compared to other places I’ve been to with subpar results so this was a nice surprise. It was pretty delicious and a typically large portion as is the case with most Ramen bowls. The restaurant is A+ for wheelchair accessibility with lots of space between tables (I’m sure to accommodate luggage but it has the same result) which is very convenient. I’m sure some foodie would gasp at what I consider to be excellent but I just call it how I see (taste) it.More

When I have time and I am hungry this is my go to place at the Detroit airport. Wish all airports had one of these or a version there of. It is quick, for the most part healthy, especially when you start to compare of...fare at airports and it's, IMO, worth the money. A quick bowl of ramen and maybe a few pieces of sushi and I am back out again to my next stop.More

Had an 8 hour layover in Detroit Airport and looked around for places to have dinner before my flight. Sora had the healthiest looking menu. I had the kitsune soba which was tasty and very filling. I would have liked to have more of the...fish ball slices in the dish though. Customer service was swift and attentive. Definitely worth a visit when at Detroit airport.More

I understand it is at the airport but is way over priced. The rolls were bland and very poor made. The wine was under poured and that was a small glass. The waiter came with the bill within 5 minutes after bringing the food and...it wasn't crowded. Not good. Find somewhere else to eat.More

Getting over a cold and so I had the miso soup, steamed pork dumplings, and tea. The miso soup was delicious and was a highlight. This is good clean food with fresh ingredients well done. Recommended.

My flight got delayed and I wanted sushi! MY WINE for $12 was an under pore. For the Nigiri combo I got was way over priced for the quality! Service was very good!

Fresh Japanese food prepared to order. Great beverage choices too! We have visited twice while traveling. Great soup, excellent sushi and very tasty dumplings. We will visit again next time we fly from DTW.

Sat there for a half hour waiting to order. Watched people around me get served. Obviously they did not want my business. I guess that is what happens when you travel in blue jeans and a T-shirt, trying to be comfortable for a 14 hour...flight. Too bad, they had some good reviews.More

This is a hidden gem at the DTW airprort and always a mandatory stop when I’m traveling through Detroit. This is as-close-as-you-can-get to authentic Japanese food at and airport in US. You will not be disappointed and should give it a try.
