Wow, was I surprised by the food and service I got at Midami. I pulled in late on a Tuesday night. I was skeptical about getting sushi at a drive-through but I had just gotten in from the airport and wanted to just grab something and eat in the hotel. When I drove up, the place was empty and pretty dark so I wasn't even sure it was open. Well, out walks this very nice lady, who hands me a more detailed menu than what's listed on the drive-up display. That's a first for any kind of drive-up service.
When I pulled to the order window and the same woman greeted me, I asked what kind of sushi is on the Sushi Combo A. The menu says 7 pieces of Nigiri plus Spicy tuna roll. I always ask because I hate when a sushi restaurant gives you shrimp on a combo. I want fish; not shrimp! A man came to the window (I guess the man and woman are the owners) and said that the combo includes tuna, salmon, hamache, unagi and shrimp. I told them that I wanted to replace the shrimp with another unagi, fully expecting to pay extra. I also ordered a miso soup and seaweed salad.
While the man was making the nigiri and roll, the woman brought me the bill. She said they weren't charging me extra for the eel. I'm pretty sure that's the first time I didn't have to pay extra for something at a sushi place. The total bill was $24. Maybe a little more than I'd expected to pay for drive-through food but I was hungry and it didn't matter.
The food turned out to be really good. They gave me 2 unagi, 2 salmon, 2 tuna and 1 hamache. The sushi was very good. The fish portions were large and the quality was very good. The spicy tuna roll was on the small side but also very good. The seaweed salad was excellent as was the miso soup, though the soup portion was on the small side. If I had gotten this quality at a sit-down restaurant, I would have expected to pay more than $24 so it was well worth it. I may never come back to Farmington Hills on business again. But if I do, I'll definitely drop in to Midami.
