The Goblin

This place is a gem! The sushi is incredibly fresh and high quality, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. I loved the chef's menu of the with items for the day, especially the Salmon Blossom--it was absolutely delicious! Hopefully, it becomes a regular item because I'd order it every time.Also, they have a bar next door is such a great addition! It's cozy, inviting, and perfect for a quick drink or hangout with friends.

Wow! I didn't know what I'd been missing until I tried The Goblin--this sushi redefined "quality" for me.A friend recommended it as a hidden gem in Detroit, and they were so right. I ordered takeout last night, and every bite was incredible. I tried the Nigiri Set (with the Firecracker Roll) and a Chicken Teriyaki Roll with avocado instead of cream cheese. The flavors and quality of the fish were top-notch--fresh, flavorful, and seriously impressive. This was way more than enough food for one person, and I have leftovers for lunch now today!As my friend put it: "If a place has real soft shell crab, you know it's legit." Can't wait to order again!

Little gem in southwest Detroit. Usually, I go to southwest for Mexican food but the place pop up and had to give it a try late at night. They close at 10pm. They serve Korean and Japanese sushi, everything is freshly made and reasonably price. Very bright and white on the inside, not a typical Japanese restaurant design, more like a Japanese convenient store/ cafe type of setup. Better come and try this restaurant before SW get gentrify and more traffic.

The Goblin is a fantastic sushi restaurant in downtown Detroit. The value of the sushi is great and the flavor always delivers. If you want to dine in, it can definitely get pretty busy, so I would make sure to try and get a reservation or call ahead to see how busy it is. They're also on Doordash, so always a good option to get it delivered. The platters are amazing value for how much sushi you get, so I usually love to order the panda or penguin platters when I get back from business trips or have a group of friends coming over. Highly recommend!

Great spot for sushi! Super fresh, straightforward nigiri and maki menu, good price point, a great location, and fast/friendly service. Recommended!

Mmm mmm mmm! Found this place via a raving recommendation from a grocery store clerk. So glad I decided to check it out. This place is very cute. Simple yet great rolls. Super fresh and generous portions for a decent price point. Service was also excellent, I posted up with my laptop to do some work and I never felt like I was being rushed out so I greatly appreciate the courtesy. Would love to visit again if I'm ever in town again!

ONE OF MY FAVE SUSHI SPOTS NOW! The service was really friendly and super quick. This was mine and my friend's first time trying a hand-roll and they were PACKED with filling. Although, the main star of our meal was the crispy rice. The different textures from the rice and the crab salad were delicious and I'm definitely ordering that again when I come back. Price point and quality of fish was great! Also, whoever was on aux was playing banger after banger LOL it was such a vibe.

Delicious, quaint, modern. Absolutely would go back to try more. A little confusing if we order at the main counter but I believe one of the owners comes around and they have the toast system. It's friendly and seems and to really be a staple with the SW area. Crispy rice crab roll, mango roll, mussels, and spicy tuna bowl. YUM

Great food and people. Overall nice vibe and friendly staff. Enjoyed a salmon bowl that was fresh and tasty. Will come again!

Some of the best sushi I've ever had! Very fresh and tasty! I would have to say that the menu is very simple and not overwhelming. Also, the service is great and everyone is very nice. I like the cool little toys and gadgets on the walls and shelves! Super neat. I am looking forward to coming back for some more sushi!
