Edamame Sushi
Nu-Asian Kitchen
I
t’s time I mentioned one of my favorite places for lunch
or dinner: Edamame Sushi Nu-Asian Kitchen in Madison
Heights.
As might be expected, the sushi is fresh and delightful,
prepared by chefs at a sushi bar. But sushi is only the start
on Edamame’s menu. Business partners Eddie Bautista and
Noel Cabrera, both of the Philippines, feature Filipino cuisine
as well as Japanese. The noodle and rice dishes and other
items make good on the restaurant’s boast of “best quality at
affordable prices.”
Edamame opened in December 2007 in the John R Square
Shopping Mall, approximately a mile from Oakland Mall in
Troy.

are reminiscent of bamboo Japanese teahouses. Children’s
crayon drawings brighten a hallway.
Turning to sushi again, the best-selling rolls are deep-fried
TNT — tuna, spicy mayo, shrimp tempura and avocado —
and Seattle — California roll wrapped with salmon, topped
with spicy sauce and caramelized. Guests may also make
custom rolls, choosing two to five ingredients.
The “Small and Hot” appetizers list includes Lumpia, a
Filipino spring roll, and Agedashi Tofu, fried tofu with grated
chili relish and a light soy-seaweed broth. Among the “Small
and Cold,” two choices are Ika Sansai — thinly sliced cala-
mari with Japanese mountain vegetables, and Fish Ceviche
— tuna, salmon, yellowtail and escolar with thinly sliced
onions and cucumbers in Ponzu olive oil dressing.
The nine noodle stir-fried dishes come with a choice of
protein, including tofu. A friend raved about Diablo Noodles,
thick rice noodles cooked in butter and garlic chili sauce
with Asian veggies. Noodle soups are also enjoyed, especially
those made with ramen and different food combinations.
I recently chose “Make Your Own Bento” at lunch. My
three items came inside a lacquered Japanese assortment
box. I received a substantial piece of delicious fried salmon,
sushi pieces and battered tempura, plus sea-
weed salad, rice and miso soup. Everything
was very good.
“Fried Rice” and “Garlic Fried Rice 2 Eggs
and What?” are other menu headings. The
latter choices have names ending in “silog,”
as in: Longsilog, a Philippine-style sausage,
and Steaksilog or Chickensilog, both teriyaki
dishes.
Bautista said the restaurant’s “Specials
Board” can feature its popular Edamame
Crunch sushi. Filipino specials might include
Sinigang, a sour soup made with fish or pork
belly.
My friend Diane and I are fond of the Asian-
Infused Tacos. Marinated beef is my favorite
filling. Tacos are served with onion, tomatoes,
cilantro, pickled radish, carrots and jalapeno
sauce.

Edamame’s imported beers include San
Nu-Asian Kitchen Miguel, a hard-to-find Filipino brand. Other
31632 John R beverages include several kinds of sake and
Madison Heights fruit juices.
