Crazy Sushi

Crazy Sushi is AMAZING! Probably one of the BEST sushi joints out there! Trust me! I have travelled to Japan! This truly is an authentic place!

Pros:
1. Authentic food
2. The texture of the Tuna is unlike any other! It seriously is the best! He cuts the tuna very fine, as opposed to Noble Fish that chooses to use larger chunks! I love Noble Fish, but this Tuna roll kills theirs!
3. They have incredible baked rolls! I hate sweet crap, hence I stick with the yellow stove baked roll! It will take a minimum of 20 minutes to make, but it's well worth it!
4. Try the fried calamari roll as well! It's fantastic.
5. So, do you remember what to get!
a. Large Spicy Tuna Roll
b. Yellow Stone Baked Roll
c. Spicy Scallop Roll
d. Fried Calamari Roll

Cons:
1. They are located in Madison Heights, on John R, between 12 and 13. That's okay, however, the sign has died and is not lit. It makes the place hard to find.

2. The owner can sometimes be grumpy. However, he is nice most of the time! He's actually Korean!

3. The times are usually longer. The owner is a I've man show, therefore; your order may take around 3p minutes to make.

Overall, I love this place! If you are a Sushi Lover, this is the place to BE!

Love you, CRAZY SUSHI!

I have been going here since they opened. My friends and I were actually their very first customers. The sushi here is amazing. Every roll has been consistent since day 1. The fish are always fresh and the rolls are always packed right. The have such a great options of rolls and nigari for a very reasonable price. The price would never break your bank. The owner Le has such great customer service, he is the only one that does the sushi so you know it is always consistent. You have to be patient since he is the only one making the sushi but it worth the worth.

This place has been one of my favorite places for many years. Still is.

Does it bear noble fish and one world markets prices? No.... but it gives the same feel. You know?

This place is family owned. The sushi chef is almost always by himself. It's not no full services restaurant, like noble and one world. Yes you can sit down and eat there but many people do takeout.

Ordering from here or dining here, you have to know that he's literally by himself and you're going to have to wait a while for him to make your food. Give him time. Patience people! But I've always known this about this place. So I know what I'm getting myself into coming here. But just an FYI for those who don't know

Yes sushi is amazing here. A lot more variety when it comes to rolls here. Compared to noble and one world anyways.

I love the vibe here. It's a cute little shop.

He drenched his spicy rolls in spicy mayo! FYI

Very impressed! This tiny gem has been here for 13 years and I wish I knew sooner! The owner is very nice and the place is clean.i got my classic favorite the eel and cucumber roll and then tried something fun and "crazy" and I got the White Christmas baked roll and it was out of this world! I will definitely be back.

It is a small place and he told me over 90% of his business is done carry out with good reason no more that 5 people could be eating in at a time. Non the less highly recommend.

Tried this place out for the first time after seeing 4.5 stars and everything else was closed. I think this is the first time I've been utterly disappointed with all the sushi I ordered. Very sad about the fact that it was my bfs kids first time trying and it was not good.
First, the guy that took my order (also the chef) was not helpful about my choice inquiries. The rice was mushy as hell, second time in my life experience mushy rice sushi. One word - gross. I ordered 4 rolls and they all had more sweet and sour cucumber than anything else, no. Just no.
All the meats in the rolls were flavorless, barely tasted the seafood. The vinegary cucumber was also overpowering the rest of the filling. The 2 stars are for decent presentation. I won't be ordering from here ever again.

Don't be put off by the size of the place as it's more important the food they put out, no? There are 2 small tables for dining and a long bench for about 4-5 people along the sushi bar.
The owner is a one man show, host, the sushi chef and takes the order, and bring out the food and rings you up at the end.
We were told to write down our order by the long counter when we walked in with a lined yellow sticky note, small referenced menu affixed to the counter and a poster of the menu with small print on the wall behind the counter.
We gave the owner our order and he told us that there were 3 orders before us when we told him we were eating inside. He told us to sit tight as he put out his orders.
Do keep your coat on since it's such a small place the cold air from the outside door opening rushes in quick to cool the inside and the patrons.
Although I don't expect the wait to be of the same time span of 45min to an hour like at noble fish. We shall see. We are hoping for some yummy sushi since that's all he does, no frills. There is seaweed salad but no house salad available and they do offer miso soup and a few apps and fried items to share the meal, but clearly the focus is on the sushi.
At least there are a few interesting articles on the wall to pass the time some about the different sushi, nori story, sushi and soy sauce partnership and et al.
Looks like most of the regulars carry out their food here and don't bother wasting time eating in this small place, I get why now.
The owner seems friendly enough and busts his butt the entire time there since he's on his own. No overhead to worry about at least.
The small tables are on the dirty side, want to clean them so bad, but no water or anything to use to wipe up the table some. Oh and they sell cans of soda or bottles or water or tea in a cooler.
I did ask for something to wipe the table off with and the owner told me to have a seat and said "I got it", I sat down.
Don't think you will get a glass of water or tea here, just keep reminding yourself it's all about the sushi and nothing more.
The owner came out a littler over 20 minutes after we put the order in to wipe down our table. He said 95% of his orders are carry out and that's why he works alone. He said he would be starting our order now.
The 4th customer to come in referred to the owner as Lee, looks like most of his peeps are regulars and dedicated on this snow flurry evening. The 5th guy made small talk with the owner and he clearly has a lot of regular customers.
The miso is good but a ton of scallions in it, more than I would have expected but still decent.
Our sushi order took about 35 minutes to be made and brought out to us, keep that in mind if you want something quick.
The shrimp Cali was good and so were the Cali special rolls with the cream cheese and scallions and the avocado were freshly cut for our rolls. My husband enjoyed his crunchy roll the most.
Sushi was good overall for a no frills spot.
We would come back for more sushi, just keeping in mind the time delay to get our order.

Crazy Sushi is an understated local gem. It is a hard to find hole in the wall without any frills run by a sole proprietor who is clearly passionate about making great sushi.

Tonight we ordered Nigiri and Raw Rolls to go. Total price for what you see in the pictures below was just under $50. I recommend calling in your order to pick up at a later time so you don't have to wait. It is just a one man band behind the counter after all.

Big pieces of fresh fish and big flavor! I am a regular here when in the Metro Detroit area.

Don't be dissuaded by the small store location. I absolutely love finding hidden gems like these. I now live right around the corner from here and before moving, used to only go to Noble Fish. I got really tired of the 60+ min wait at Noble Fish so I found this location via yelp based on all the good reviews and gave it a try instead. I was so very pleased I did.

There is just one sushi chef in there who runs the whole entire show. All the rolls are written out on canvas boards on the wall by entrance. You order by writing on the yellow sticky pad on the bench next to the menus and hand it to him when done. There's only about two tables inside and a couple seats by the sushi bar.

We ordered for takeout: Mania (Salmon), Healthy, Spicy Tuna, and Yellowtail Scallion. All of which tasted amazing and fresh, so we were very satisfied. Great rice to fish ratios and I enjoyed the quality of the rice too. The preparation took only about 15 mins as we were the only customers at that time. Definitely will be coming back for more in the future!

Well priced and reasonable for what you get, but I did feel the pieces on select rolls are a little smaller portioned in comparison to Noble Fish.

Tip: Assuming this is how they keep overhead costs down, you will need to indicate whether you want wasabi and ginger included in your order, if any at all or if you want extra. I asked for regular amounts of wasabi and extra ginger so he gave us a generous serving, in which we were grateful for.

The sushi here is really good, the hours are a little funky though. There seems to be the one guy who works there who maybe owns it. He's always polite and friendly.

One of the best bang for buck sushi places in SE Michigan. The rice was on point and the portions of fish on the nigiri and in the rolls was solid, bordering generous.

Basically one chef doing everything, so service is a little slow, but also means that each item is personally prepared and made by him. Chef has a rough exterior and demeanor but is a softie inside so don't be intimidated.

Only thing to keep in mind is that the seating is somewhat limited, so no great for big crowds.
