"Whenever the subject of sushi in metro Detroit comes up, the discussion almost always turns to Noble Fish, beloved for consistently providing Detroiters with oversized sushi rolls and nigiri for more than 40 years. The establishment started as a small market in 1984 and later added a kitchen in 1991, and. eventually — under the direction of manager Takayuki “Guchi-san” Sakaguchi — a sushi bar was added where diners could marvel at the chefs’ expertise and dexterity in assembling nigiri and supple cuts of sashimi. The restaurant continues to expand its offerings, including adding more space to the dining area where visitors can stretch their legs for a bit in a casual atmosphere that’s a step above the grocery store vibes from before. Coming sometime in 2025, Noble Fish and neighboring White Wolf Japanese Patisserie are planning to expand their footprint by taking over an empty space sandwiched between them to build a 12,000-square-foot Asian food hall and grocery store called Noble Village. On the grocery side, customers can find a variety of traditional Japanese snacks, like Kasugai Japan Fruity Jelly Gummy Candy, Pocky Sticks, and rice cakes, are also on hand, as well as bottled teas, sake, and other Japanese beverages. Prices are reasonable; diners can go for an assortment of nigiri or splurge on a large specialty roll like the Michigan, made with tuna, cucumber, avocado, and spicy mayo. Online ordering is available.

"Clawson’s beloved sushi destination Noble Fish received an upgrade earlier this year with a larger sushi bar and more dine-in seating. Just like the original, customers can pick up sushi and a variety of snacks and Japanese beverages from cold cases at the front of the restaurant. For patrons dining in, fill out a paper ordering sheet at the entrance and pay at the counter before finding a seat in the dining room. The prices are reasonable and the fish is incredibly fresh.
