The Best New Restaurants in Detroit, March 2025
"A modern Japanese American destination called Soraya opened its doors in the Federal Reserve Building downtown that used to house Maru Sushi. Harold Kim, owner of the short-lived Korean American spot Black Ginger in Corktown, helms the restaurant. Expect starters like tempura broccolini or takoyaki — octopus with pickled ginger, scallion, and dashi broth; an offering of noodles like udon with thinly sliced rib-eye; entrees like citrus-brined pork katsu with yuzu wasabi aioli; and a variety of sushi rolls. To drink, find cocktails made with Japanese spirits, such as the Tokidoki with Suntory Toki Whisky, walnut, lemon, banana, and brown sugar, in addition to a brief menu of nonalcoholic mocktails. Be sure to book reservations on Resy." - Serena Maria Daniels
