Without a doubt, it is the best place to get sushi in Detroit. The fish is so fresh that the memories of this place has me currently drooling. I've never had sushi so fresh and delicious. I frequent Novi's One World and Clawson's Noble Fish and as good as their offerings are, Goblin tops it. Menu is pretty simple and limited but I think that's what makes it good. No frills great sushi. Couple Japanese beer and Wine/Sake options also available. Service is unlike a traditional restaurant - more similar to a food court (?) You order at the register and then they'll bring out your order. Clean, simple, and most importantly, delicious. Spreading the word on this gem of a place since it has found its home in the ever revolving spot in SW Detroit. (Some distillery, Huron Room Peso, now Goblin). Fingers crossed that this place becomes a mainstay!

This was such an excellent experience! I am not sushi connoisseur by any means, but I’ve tried quite a few places over the years and I think this had to be the best I’ve ever had. The fish was just so fresh, along with all other ingredients. I noticed particularly with the salmon roll that the texture of the fish was just perfect. We ordered the nigiri set, which includes six pieces of nigiri plus your choice of roll (we got spicy tuna). We also ordered an additional salmon roll. A small cucumber & crab salad with yuzu dressing was included. The beer and iced tea were also delicious, as well as the mochi we had for dessert. The service was prompt and very friendly. The space was bright and clean. I would recommend Goblin to anyone, and am looking forward to visiting again soon!

Quality- affordable sushi in Detroit??? For real- do not sleep on this adorable spot. The food was fantastic.. for an appetizer we had the seafood ceviche. Very bold, spicy, and citrusy. Out of this world. I also ordered the Himachi Kama-aka- yellowtail collar. This dish is not for the weak! And I am very picky about it as it can be done poorly. It was perfect here, crispy in all the right places, tender and flaky where it was supposed to be. Outstanding dish and very affordable. We then ordered 4 specialty rolls...I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the freshness, the presentation, the flavors of a well made sushi roll. The bonus is that it's in southwest Detroit away from the mayhem. Ample parking in a safe area of The D. You will thank me later. Your welcome. :)

We went there after we saw good reviews and love sushi. What a nice surprise - the place is a gem. Very good quality food, yellowtail collar was delicious (though I’m not a huge fan of cooked fish), but it was very delicate and very much Japanese style. Tuna nigiri was amazing too, yellowtail nigiri - superb, fresh and without a common fish taste. So far it’s the best sushi I’ve had in Detroit. Posh and fancy upscale places don’t come even close to delicate high quality fish at this place. Staff was very nice too! Also like the music, gives a pleasant vibe. Keep up great food and freshness of ingredients! P.S. not sure about the name of the place but at least memorable 😃

I've been coming here for a while, but recently the ownership changed and I love the new owners! They're expanding the menu, bringing in more fish, and it feels like there's just a new life to the restaurant! The whole staff also just seems friendlier these days than before. Loved the tuna flight I had last time which includes o-toro and chu-toro! The quality here has been top notch lately, so I think I'll be recommending it as a go-to place for sushi close to downtown Detroit.

Stumbled across this sushi boutique nestled in Southwest Detroit. Clean modern aesthetics we were greeted by co-owner who was working working! Healthily busy swift personable service with taking order and offers the absolute best suggestions. Tried a few traditional dishes, such as miso and see with salad and also ventured to street food sushi.. high quality sushi with reasonable price tag! SALMON BELLY WAS INCREDIBLE! MUST HAVE. Be adventurous with the menu. Will return !
