This place is simply outstanding! It’s easily one of our favorite restaurants in Detroit. When we first visited it late in 2024, we knew we had to make it a monthly rotation, and we still never feel like we’ve had enough of it. Haha! The Kanpachi Ponzu, Wagyu, Tako-Age, Kaarage, Toro sashimi and the Tuna Jalapeño roll are some of our favorites. You gotta make reservations about a week ahead.

The restaurant is located at the basement of Washington Histrionic District. We went to celebrate our anniversary. The service was top notch even it was busy but they came checked on us periodically and when they brought the dishes over they brief what in it. The food was very delicious I have been to so many Japanese restaurants and this one can definitely compare to other superior one . I would definitely recommend any one who live in Mid West to go try this place. No word can describe this restaurant is really one of a kind.

Amber was the best, every single dish was amazing. 4th or 5th time back. The beef tongue & scallop are always phenomenal, as well as their nigiri options. Pork bao buns have a special place in my heart

We had such a wonderful experience at Heroki-San! The food and the vibes were immaculate. Bonus points if you get Juan as your server, he was so knowledgeable and attentive, he made the whole experience extra fun.

Went here for my birthday dinner and absolutely loved it! It’s underground and has a really cool look to it, dim lights, open kitchen, and nice seating. The food was 10/10 with many options to try from, they would bring out the dishes one at a time which allowed us to enjoy it. They gave a complementary birthday cake which was very tasty.

Hiroki San is located inside the beautifully restored Book Tower in Detroit. You walk down a small set of steps to reach the entrance, and from the moment I stepped inside, I was glad I had made a reservation for a Friday night—it was packed.
The restaurant offers a mix of seating options: bar seating, tables, and a more private area. However, the space isn’t designed to absorb sound well, so it was pretty noisy. I often found myself hearing nearby conversations, and at times, I couldn’t even hear the waiter clearly and had to ask him to repeat himself. Despite that, service was prompt and attentive—my water glass was never empty, and food came out at a steady pace without all dishes arriving at once, which I appreciated.
The food was definitely the highlight. As someone who lived in Japan for three months about two years ago, I’ve struggled to find Japanese cuisine in the metro Detroit area that really hits the mark—until now.
I started with an Asahi Super Dry, served in a chilled glass, which is always a nice touch. Alongside it, I ordered the edamame and the sunomono salad. The edamame portion was generous—definitely enough for two. The sunomono salad, which included sashimi, seaweed, pickles, tomatoes, and cucumbers, was tangy and full of umami. I mistakenly expected a Chinese-style cucumber salad with sesame and garlic, but this was a classic Japanese version, and that was on me.
Next came the yakitori: shishito peppers and pork chashu. The shishito peppers were incredible—salty, sour, slightly bitter, and perfectly balanced by the creamy mayo aioli. There were six peppers in the serving. The pork chashu was tender, well-cooked, and not at all chewy.
Then came the Kakure Chirashi—a rice bowl topped with two pieces each of tuna, salmon, and (I believe) seabream, along with tamago cubes, cucumber, and shiso leaf. It was a bit on the pricier side, but it truly reminded me of Japan. The inclusion of shiso in particular was a nostalgic, traditional touch.
Lastly, we tried two noodle dishes: the Pork Udon and the Duck Soba. The pork udon was flavorful and the pork itself was very tender, but the noodles were unexpectedly thin—more like soba than the thick, chewy udon I was hoping for. Still tasty, but a bit of a letdown due to that expectation.
The duck soba, on the other hand, was excellent. Duck is hard to get right—it’s often too gamey or overcooked—but Hiroki San nailed it. The duck was tender and not overly gamey, and the broth was rich, savory, with just a hint of sourness.
Overall, I’m really glad I finally tried Hiroki San. Despite the noise and minor noodle letdown, the service was solid and the food brought back memories of Japan in the best way. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in Detroit.

Had a wonderful time at Hiroki San on 6/14. Tried items from each part of the menu. The fish was exceptionally fresh, and the beef exceptionally tender. And octopus always a treat. Highly recommend this fun, lively restaurant in the Book Tower building. And Arias, our server is the best. Very knowledgeable of all items on the menu and gave us great direction on new items to try.

Loved the vibe. Went here for to celebrate my husband’s birthday and we enjoyed it , except the part that it was too crowded and even after having made a reservation we had to wait for 20mins .
Our server was great , the whiskey sour drink was amazing , ordered it again the second time the food was delicious – loved all the dishes that we ordered including the dessert

Overrated or too expensive for what it was.
Overall the food was good. The nigiri was delicious: especially the Scottish salmon and fatty tuna. The cocktails and sake were very good, and well crafted. The wagyu was decent too, but, maybe too “charred”, which hide the otherwise normally succulent flavor of wagyu.
The main issue was the price. With a total bill of ~$300 for 2 people, we probably expected more from the overall experience and food. Like I mentioned above, the wagyu did not feel worth $6 a bite. And the chef’s platters although tasting good came with little presentation or explanation. We were also placed at a 2-top that was right next to a high traffic walk zone with little room. We felt like we were in the way, or always in the midst of people running food. The area was also very loud, and hard to hear each other.
In fairness, we are comparing this experience to two Sushi experiences from Austin, Texas, both around the same price point, which both offered better quality food and a more interesting experience when ordering chef-picked courses.
I might go back again, but, will probably stick to cheaper meals and try their ramen.

日式漂亮飯～the food is also pretty good but a bit overpriced. We sit by the bar and enjoy the whole open kitchen！the only issue we had was long waiting time! We were told that the waiting time was 45mins, but ended up for 1.5hrs! That’s insane!
