Saica has been on Plymouth Road for over 25 years — not because we chased trends, but because we never had to. Honest cooking, generous portions, and a neighborhood that keeps coming back.
Plymouth Road, 1998
Saica opened near the University of Michigan's North Campus as a family-owned Japanese and Korean restaurant. Many things have changed since then, but our commitment to doing things right remains the same.
No Shortcuts, No Compromises
Our spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and crab salad are all made in-house — not as a talking point, but because it's the only standard we've ever operated by.
Beyond the Sushi Bar
Sushi is what we're known for, but the menu runs deep: ramen, crisp tempura, savory bulgogi, teriyaki, and bento boxes built to make you reconsider your appetite. Regulars have a sushi order and a cold-weather order — both non-negotiable.
Loyalty, Earned One Plate at a Time
Families who found us years ago still come back — some are now bringing their own kids. That kind of loyalty isn't manufactured; it's the result of never cutting corners and always sending people home full.
