Reviews For Sansu Sushi and Cocktails

It was our first time here and let’s say we loved it. Atmosphere was pretty cool. I was surprised I had to take my shoes off to dine in the area we ate in. The server was very attentive and made great recommendations. We all dug in before I could get to many photos but believe me everything tasted great. If you’re in the area I highly recommend making it one of your stops!

Stopped in to Sansu for a quick bite to eat on my way out of East Lansing. The restaurant is huge and right off of campus so it was mildly busy when we went. We tried some appetizers and had to get the crispy rice spicy tuna, a fan favorite. We tried a platter of mixed sushi, all were very good. The noodle dish was decent but I wish there were more noodles!

Fine sushi with lots of choices. We had the famous Godzilla roll, Fusion roll, rock and roll, Spicy Salmon roll and Volcano roll. The fusion roll is a deep fried outer, which is a departure from many of the other sushi. The green tea was also great. Call ahead, because the restaurant gets busy.

Awesome rolls and sushi. One of our favorite things about this place is the floor height tables. When that section is open, we always sit there because you can take off your shoes and sit on a floor pillow to eat with friends. Unfortunately, it's not open sometimes due to staffing. You should try this place, just call ahead of you want to sit on the floor!

Probably the only sushi restaurant in Lansing that we go to. Great sushi, my favorite is the signature sushi dinner. The sushi chefs remember our faces, that’s how often we come very nice and professional staff.

Excellent sashimi! Best in Lansing area. Chefs' choice deluxe was fresh, served beautifully, and was high quality. Service was ok.

Amazing rolls and specialty rolls. Sansu is the best sushi spot in the Lansing area. Good value for what you get! If you dine in person they give you a delicious miso soup and a salad! This is a high quality establishment and I have been going here for years.
