Restaurant Review: Penny Roll Sushi in Ypsilanti

Three Australian-style sushi rolls from Penny Roll Sushi in Ypsilanti

Penny Roll Sushi is Ypsilanti's newest restaurant. Located at 12 W Michigan, Penny Roll is serving Australian-style sushi. Which is to say, uncut, wide, non-tapered hand rolls with a high proportion of fillings. The price point is unbelievable: rolls are $4 each, or $10 for 3. Erika biked down today and brought back an assortment for lunch. I especially enjoyed the teriyaki chicken and spicy tuna. But honestly, all of the rolls are awesome. Dan, the chef, makes them fresh each day and sells them from 11 am to 2 pm, or until he sells out.

Here's what Erika had to say after returning with the sushi:

Dan is originally from Toronto and has an MBA from Michigan. He started a burger place in Australia, but it got too popular and he burned out. He moved back to Michigan to be closer to his family. He's hoping he can find good work-life balance with Penny Roll Sushi. 

It's great to see new restaurants opening in Ypsi. I wasn't originally sold on the idea of Australian-style rolls, but they are great. Penny Roll is a great deal and definately worth a visit.
