Kanbu Sushi Downtown

This restaurant has a great ambiance-- warm with lots of deep toned wood accents and an inviting, comfortable vibe. My niece is a sushi connoisseur and I continue to learn from her- though I'm far less adventurous and can't bring myself to eat raw seafood. I realize many of you may think I'm missing out but I have my food idiosyncrasies, lol.Upon arriving, our server promptly greeted us for a drink order. I had a rather stressful trip with traffic and construction and really would have loved a glass of wine, but no alcoholic beverages are available here. That was okay because I calmed down over a cold glass of water while visiting with my niece.For appetizers we went with the seaweed salad (delicious!) and the Shrimp Shumai (shrimp dumplings)... oh so delicious as well! Perhaps since we were here for an early dinner, our orders came out quickly.My niece ordered a huge variety plate of sushi that looked fabulously artistic. I tried the sweet potato roll and it was delectable. I ultimately went with a Chicken Katsu Burrito that included deep fried Chicken dipped in panko rolled up in a burrito that was also stuffed with cabbage) I used the dipping sauce that came with the Shrimp Shumai appetizer since it was lighter than the thicker Katsu sauce. Our server was kind enough to bring both sauces for comparison. I must say that the burrito was sliced in half but I still managed to make a mess trying to eat it because it was overflowing with chicken and cabbage. Was very delicious; I try to stay away from fried food, but this was so worth the splurge! Could only eat half of the burrito and gave the other half to my niece to take home along with her leftover sushi. The portions are very generous! The menu had so many options and next time I will try to be a bit more adventurous with the sushi rolls. Had my eye on the Ebi Shrimp and Asparagus with Avocado. Yes, there will definitely be a next time and I highly recommend this restaurant for sushi lovers as well as for those in the sushi exploration phase. I also noted that this restaurant is fully compliant with health code regulations, which is something I appreciate knowing in the Yelp descriptions and for which I additionally commend this restaurant.

Stopped here to get a quick bite on our way to check out the U or M campus and I'm glad we did. They have a pretty massive menu and something for everyone. We were traveling with kids and I was happy to see they had lunch specials and kids menu as well. Udon and veggie tempura from the kids menu was perfect for my 6 yr old and she loved it. Got katsu bento which came with so much little side items it was enough to feed two adults. We also got sushi burritos which was massive and jam packed with fish and fresh veggies and super yummy. The only things we wouldPass next time were spicy tuna and salmon rolls. I think the sushi rice was not seasoned well it lacked flavor. Overall we really enjoyed this place and would remember to come back next time we're in town.

I only ordered takeout from here because I was craving a sushi burrito. First let me say this, they DO NOT skimp on the protein in the burrito! The staff is really nice and offered me a place to sit and a glass of water while I waited for my takeout. Their pricing is reasonable and I will be returning for dine in. The menu is a little overwhelming with options especially since there are no photos.

Very interesting menu and sushi but yummy and fresh! Really great service and friendly people. It is very nice inside and well decorated. I had a specialty roll (mango roll) which was delicious but no seaweed, instead wrapped in sticky rice that was very sweet. They have good combo deals for lunch such as three simple rolls for $16.50 with salad and miso soup, but the miso wasn't too flavorful. I would definitely go back!

This place was really cute. The service was good and the food was pretty good. I loved my stone bowl bibimbap. My husband said his Japanese Broth Ramen was just ok. Prices were reasonable.

Excellent and attentive service!Pristine restaurant. Delicious sushi. I had the lunch combination special with 3 rolls, and loved every bite! I had the spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and salmon avocado cucumber roll. My lunch special also came with tasty miso soup and salad. My friend loved her poke bowl and it looked gorgeous.They have a gluten free menu too.

Nicely situated in the heart of Downtown Ann Arbor and walking distance from University of Michigan, this restaurant offers a good variety of unique Japanese plates. The portions were generous and reasonably priced. Each dish also came with a choice of salad or miso soup, which was a nice touch. We found the food to be enjoyable, and would definitely come back again. Sushi was fresh. Our favorite dish was the pork katsudon, which was rich and flavorful.

Excellent sushi! Great service! Fun spot to eat! We celebrated our daughter's birthday there and their sushi rivals west coast fare!

So yum, very filling! The service is quick and the dining experience was pleasant and perfect for a lunch-time setting. I really enjoyed the quality of the rolls and the miso soup--so warm for the winter. One of my favorite sushi places downtown, just a little pricey for a college student budget.

Got the dragon roll and it was really good. The servers were very attentive and were amazing. Whoever had control of the speakers as an elite music taste. 5 out of 5 easily.
