Ajishin - 42270 Grand River Avenue Novi, MI 48375-1836 - (248) 380-9850

General thoughts - I go to Ajishin mostly for 1 thing because it's just that good. It's weird the only day they're closed is on Tuesdays. It's a very small restaurant with less than 50 seats so there's always a wait. Unless it moves to another location it can't really expand because it's at the end of a strip mall. If you're into manga (Japanese comic books), they have plenty for you to read while you wait.
Foods tasted - Ajishin udon, salmon avacado roll

Thoughts -

1. Ajishin udon - The reason I keep coming back to this is because not only is it economical (less than $8) but the portion is huge. In addition to the noodles, it has half of a hard boiled egg, crab meat stick, seaweeds, some tempura crumbs, scallions. I love the broth at Ajishin, it's hard to describe it but you can tell it didn't come from a pack of soup mix.

2. Salmon avacado roll - The most important thing to check for when eating sushi of course is the freshness of the fish and in this case avacado. The salmon was bright orange (indicating freshness), and the avacado wasn't brown (if it's been sitting out for a long time). The sushi chef is working nonstop, so obviously Ajishin is doing something right. :-)

Final thoughts - Was it Very Yummy In My Tummy? Of course, that's why I keep going back. Will I go back? See previous sentence. Most of the time there's a short wait, but since I usually go alone I can walk right up to the sushi bar and sit right down and get served right away.
