“We had a wonderful dinner experience. Our cocktails were delightful and the food was delicious. Our food was delayed in the kitchen (something we barely noticed) and the manager gave us a discount on our meal to ensure we were satisfied. I’d call that going “above and beyond”. Highly recommend.”
Seafood • $$$
“Outstanding meal tonight - incredible drinks, awesome food, and Kelly was our fantastic server!! Can’t wait to return!”
Korean • $$$
“I’m giving all the stars for one reason: Masha. We like eating here and enjoy the food and service consistently. We’re Koreans and don’t expect traditional Korean food here : Miss Kim has its own special identity.
I’m writing this review because I just got off the phone with Masha, who was absolutely amazing while helping me confirm my reservation for my daughter’s graduation. I needed to adjust it form party of 3 to party of 4, and as you can imagine, everything is fully booked everywhere. However, she took the time to reconfigure and rearrange and made it happen. She was so friendly and competent, it truly surprised me. Absolutely wonderful experience with this staff. Give this person a raise! Wow! Bravo!”
Hot Pot • $$
“Was craving hotpot and palace tang didn’t disappoint! Good broth variety, just wish they had a bit more flavor in them! My favorites were tomato and golden soup (top right & bottom left). Toppings were good quality. Each item pricing is pretty fair, ranging from $5-$20. The crab and pork soup dumplings were surprisingly great too!
I would come back!”

Steak House • $$$$
“Food is great. Staff is amazing. The fact that it's supposed to be a high end steak house and they let people in that are wearing sweats or short shorts is wrong. also, letting people in that are very loud, and dropping cuss words is terrible. The worse part was that to get to the bathroom, you have to walk thru a haze of smoke that is very thick. I have very bad lungs and I was thrown into a coughing fit so bad both times I went to the bathroom that it made my chest and throat hurt and made it hard for me to enjoy my food. To add, the next day I was violently sick throwing up. I will never come bacj again.”
Italian • $$$
“My friends & I enjoyed a delicious meal Thursday night before a concert at The Ark. The restaurant was charming, food & wine excellent & Ricardo went out of his way to make our dinner enjoyable. Ricardo saved me by finding my iPhone & racing up the stairs to give it to me just as we were about to walk up the street. I am forever grateful!!!”

Can’t say enough good things & thank you all so much for the amazing experience!!!”

“Phenomenal scones, service, fresh pastries. The coffee from Strider on site is also amazing. Can’t wait to try some of the grocery items, etc”
“Ordering was easy and the pickup option is much appreciated. I got a couple flavors to try. I like the option of smaller bags to try a variety of flavors. The S’mores is delicious. I love that sales from the Michigan flavors support the state parks! I’ll definitely be getting beans from here again! Friendly service was a nice added bonus!”

Thank you for making it such a memorable time. We'll be seeing you again, for drinks, music and socializing in the summer!!”

Brewery • $$
“As a local place to meet up the place is great. Filled with friendly people. A+ for that.
I had a few bad experiences with the standup which I understand is outside of their control but some of the people shouldn't be allowed to return. Not funny is understandable, not every joke flies with everyone, but some were in really bad taste. So just beware, especially for open mike.
Besides that the shows have been great and the venue is amazing. Great trivia as well.
The staff has always been beyond amazing as well.
I've edited my review to just mention that bad improv can happen, although I think they should ask for comments and block people from returning. But my initial review was too critical, and this place really is pretty awesome.
Edit: after months this place is A+. Great people, great beer, great atmosphere. A real gem on this side of town and in general.”

Himalayan/Nepalese • $
“A few years ago I searched on Google for "highest rated restaurant near me" and Everest ranked #1. I've eaten there for my birthday celebration meal, and at other times, in the five or six years since. It's rare to find great food, great service, and at a great price in the post-Covid era. In my experience Everest is the best of these combined categories in the Ann Arbor to Dearborn corridor along I-94. No where else that I've eaten since moving back to the area in 2011 comes close.”
Mexican • $
“If you like lots of beans, this is the place for you! My wife and I went there recently for dinner, I had Beef Nachos and my wife had a quesadilla. I swear they were both 75% beans! The other ingredients were fresh and tasty, there was very little meat. The service was decent but we won’t be going back.”
American • $$$
“I have gone here on three different occasions, for three different tasting menus. Every time I was surprised by the offerings and everything has been delicious. We were lucky enough to catch the last day of their special pierogi menu night, and it was one of the best meals I’ve had this year. Amazing!”

“Went back for a second time in just two weeks. Just as good as I remembered and this time I took a picture before I ate the last half. Pilled high with delicious meat. I had the Reuben, the sandwich was perfect from the meat, sauerkraut, bun and definitely the sauce. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely go back and get another. My wife had the chicken wrap, equally delicious.”

“We have eaten here twice now, while picking up our daughter at UMICH. Both times the food was excellent! Also have to give a big shout to our server Cathy, who waited on us for both visits. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes and made great suggestions for us as we learned the menu. Highly recommend Slurping Turtle!”
Takeout Restaurants
Soup • $
“I work in downtown Ann Arbor, and have been coming to Le Dog/La Soup for years. I have enjoyed every dog and every soup I have gotten from them. Their primary offering is a great rotating selection of unique soups (several vegetarian/vegan options), but they also have standard hot dogs + turkey franks + polish sausage with some topping options. Pricing is reasonable - the soups are well worth the cost. There is no dedicated seating, but they do have a small bar/counter where you can stand and eat. If you are in Ann Arbor and looking for a quick and easy lunch, I highly recommend Le Dog. They are great year-round, but especially during the cold winter months!”
Chicken • $
“My favorite deep-fried chicken wings in Ann Arbor! Would never forget about the flavor. I like the Yum Yum and Sweet & Mild sauces, remember side only. Also give a try to magic fries! Nice and friendly staff as well🫶”

Bar & Grill • $$
“Good place to eat and get a beer. Anthony was our server and did a good job. My artichoke dip came out without the dip but Anthony quickly fixed it. And it was really good. The girl at the door seating everyone seemed really odd. I told her we needed two seats. She grabbed the menues and silverware. We followed her to our table. She put the items on the table and left without saying a single word to us. I usually expect them to say follow me or tell me who will be our server. She didn’t say a word. Seemed mad. But it is a beer and burger place. Maybe I expect too much of people.”

Barbecue • $
“Being the job that I have and traveling as much as I do around Brighton and surrounding cities I try to try a new place for lunch as often as I can. Today I'm down in the westside of Ann Arbor and this new restaurant Ricewood BBQ, OH MY GOD!!! On the recommendation of the lady behind the counter I got the Brisket bowl with sesame cucumbers, pickled onions and the spice was medium. A "real", in my opinion BBQ place, you even smell the smoke from the wood smoker walking up. I went to the one on North Maple and by far the best lunch I've had all summer!!!”
Hot Pot • $$
“Was craving hotpot and palace tang didn’t disappoint! Good broth variety, just wish they had a bit more flavor in them! My favorites were tomato and golden soup (top right & bottom left). Toppings were good quality. Each item pricing is pretty fair, ranging from $5-$20. The crab and pork soup dumplings were surprisingly great too!
I would come back!”

Brunch • $
“Went in for a quick coffee break the other morning and ended up staying a bit longer than I planned. The place has a really relaxed vibe, not too loud and pretty comfortable to sit for a while. I ordered a latte and a small pastry, both were good and tasted fresh. The barista was friendly, maybe a little busy but still polite. Seating is a little tight if it gets crowded, but thats kinda normal for smaller cafes. Overall it felt like a nice neighborhood spot where you can just sit, sip your coffee, and slow down for a bit. I'd come back again.”
Bakery • $$$
“I Love this bakery.!!!I purchased a Chocolate cake and it was so delicious and moist.There are numerous cakes to purchase all different flavors.What I truly appreciate are slices of all these fantastic cakes on display and you can buy a slice and determine what cake you prefer.

Let me tell you about their cookies,I love the Almond Joy cookies very moist lots of nuts.The staff is very Helpful and Friendly. I had help getting to my vehicle ,a very Kind young lady opened my door and I carefully placed my treasures on the floor.Listen,run fast don't walk to this delightful bakery full of awesome treats you won't forget.Go buy,Eat and Enjoy.”
Bakery • $
“I am a huge fan of pastries that are not overwhelmingly sweet. This was our first time having Korean pastries. I am in love. They are not too sweet, and the bread is fresh. They are perfect for children as well. We had custard bread (rich), curry croquette bread (perfect breakfast), sweet potato cream bread (savory), and cream bread (WOW)! Even though we're only here for a few days, we will have as many of these as possible before returning home.”
Middle Eastern • $
“Was there on a Tuesday6:30 Sept 6. FIRST TIME. Best falafel ever had. Ordered no hummus Vegetables instead. Nice amount of tomato onion and lettus. Went again 6:30 tuesday on sept.13. Like a bad dream ordered 2 falafel Got 80% lettus and cucumber. One veggie fried ball broken into 3 pieces. Pocket bread was cold. Was charged $20 for the 2. Like bad joke. They closed at 7pm.

Bubble Tea • $
“Lychee green tea with strawberry popping boba was good! At one point I had more boba than tea, which I thought would be a good problem until I missed sipping on the tea lol.
That’s one thing I’d change. Ration of tea to boba. Otherwise, great options and mix 👌”

They have a vibrant company culture, and a commitment to nourishing our community. Hats off not only to the founders and their vision, but to the amazing staff past and present who make it all happen. 💚💚💚”

“My wife and I stopped in for dinner on Ash Wednesday for a vegetarian meal. She ordered a dosa and I ordered mattar paneer with naan and rice. The dosa was huge! We really enjoyed the food, it was good. The lady serving us was very friendly and nice, I believe her name is Pricilla. We will go back again and try some non vegetarian food.
The food came out very quickly after ordering. I don’t have any complaints about this place.”
Lebanese • $
“A really nice little spot inside a Shell station. My girlfriend and I both got the chicken shawarma sandwich and it was super good. The meat was really good and the veggies tasted crisp and fresh. The only drawback I could even say is it needed more garlic sauce, but that's just cause I really like garlic sauce lol. The fries were also super fresh and hot and crispy. Probably 5 stars for the fries.”
“Great gyros and crispy fries. Large portions, too! As good as advertised.”
Japanese • $$
“Went here for dinner on a weeknight after hearing a few decent things, and it turned out to be a solid choice. The place had a calm vibe, not too loud, and the staff was polite without being over the top. I ordered a couple sushi rolls and a bowl of ramen. The sushi tasted fresh and the rice was done right, not mushy. Ramen broth was warm and comforting, though a bit mild for my taste. Prices felt fair for the portion sizes. Overall, a reliable spot if you’re craving Japanese food and want a relaxed meal without any fuss.”

I recommend this restaurant to friends and family because I loves the experience and environment in this location.”
Korean • $$
“A friend recommended this restaurant to me and it sounded like a fun time, after a week we went there. The inside is clean, modern and simple. You have to wait to be seated, once we sat down we were given water right away which is a wonderful way to show good service early. I ordered the spicy pork, fried rice with chicken and hot sake. Before we got our meal, we were given all different types of sauces and appetizers. Like coleslaw, broiled and seasoned broccoli, some kind of spicy fish which I really enjoyed and a very spicy sauce that looked brownish and another sauce that was bright red & black and was also a bit spicy. After making conversation and enjoying the appetizers, 10 to 15 minutes, the spicy pork was brought out on this grilling plate, sizzling and looked very appetizing and tasty. For me and my friend this was the first experience we at Seoul Garden and I was blown away, I love the service more then anything and all of the service staff deserve raises. - Jacob Anderson, thanks for the wonderful meal SG! Also thanks guys for finding my phone. 😂”

“A very nice place, that is easy to access and have relaxing meal.

A good selection of desserts, too.
Service is attentive and personable.”

“My husband and I went out for our anniversary dinner and took a chance on a brand new spot. We were so glad we did! The food was phenomenal and we had A LOT of it! We shared the Christmas sushi roll, lamb skewers, oysters, avocado salad, Thai basil flank steak stir fry and tiramisu for dessert. Beautiful spot, great service and reasonably priced for the quality. We will be back!”
Bar • $$
“Sava's has been a favorite of ours for many years. It is a quality Ann Arbor restaurant that is always busy and has kept current with modern renovations and frequent menu updates. It can be a casual meal or an upscale experience, whatever you prefer. There is plenty of cuisine variety, yet just a single page of menu items. When we have out-of-town visitors this is one of our go to choices. I suggest making a reservation if dining during a prime time, as they do fill up quickly.”

“We visited Mani for the first time with our group of 6 friends. The restaurant is cute and the different levels and layout was nice. Very cool to see the open kitchen. The tables were very small and cramped. We were at a table for 6 but with 6 adults we barely had room to move our arms comfortably due to how short the table was and how close to the wall. We visited around 8 pm so it was very busy but even being that busy, our cocktails took an exceptionally long time to come out. We got the calamari and the focaccia to share. The calamari was good and the focaccia with the honey butter and chili oil was honestly the best bread any of us have ever had. The combination of the bread and the butter and honey and chili oil was unexpected but absolutely fantastic and delicious. I got the Cacio e Pepe which was very good. I tried my friend’s shrimp scampi pasta and it was fantastic. The pizza was also very good. I got the isalita margarita and the espresso cocktail which were both delicious. Our sever was good as well overall. The only other complaint is that for the 6 of us all of our meals came out separately. I have never been to a restaurant where they don’t hold the food until it’s all ready to come out. There was almost 10 minutes between the first person who got food and the last of us who did. Luckily the phenomenal food and drinks will bring us back but hoping next time the service is a little more organized and we can get a table for 6 in the middle and not crammed against the wall.”
Tapas Bar • $$$
“Tapas are such a rarity in the Metro Detroit area, but a huge delight for my wife and I. We were excited to try Aventura, and our excitement only grew as we got our first bites of the food. The patatas bravas and tortilla were absolute perfection, and the sauce on the steak was unlike anything I've ever tasted before. My only regret is that I couldn't eat any more and had to stop with the three plates.”

Japanese • $$
“I've been there a few times and the food is always delicious. Since it's seafood, the prices are a bit more expensive but I think that it is worth it. If you order a bento box, you are definitely getting your money's worth.
There is usually little to no wait time for dining in. The staff is very friendly and food comes out in a good amount of time.
I would definitely recommend!”

Italian • $$
“I went here for dinner with a friend last week, and overall it was a pretty nice experience. The place has a cozy vibe and the staff was friendly without being pushy. I tried the chicken parm and it was pretty good, maybe a little heavy on the cheese but still tasty. My friend got the pasta Alfredo and said it was creamy and flavorful. Service was a bit slow at one point, but nothing too bad—we were just chatting anyway. Prices felt reasonable for the portions. I’d come back again if I’m in the area and craving Italian.”

“I was very impressed by the variety of flavor and texture combinations in the food. It felt like a party in my mouth! It seems so simple but the rice they use was also amazing! I love that there are so many clearly labeled vegan and gluten free options even though this is a vegetarian restaurant. I would love to visit again when I’m in the area. A little pricey but the food was really good.”

Makes my life so much easier to have quick & health meals ready to go on our busy and late days! Quick, easy, health, nutritious, and tasty! Highly recommend!”

“Food is always great here, and the service is too. The fish was incredibly fresh. Pro tip: order the mussels with 'nduja and get a side of goat cheese for dipping the bread in the sauce. It was our first time back since the remodel, and it adds a really nice freshness to the ambiance. We'll definitely be back again soon!”

“The restaurant itself is beautiful. We have been to the downtown Detroit location and decided to give the Ann Arbor location a try. We were not disappointed! We went for our anniversary and our waiter Ivan made our night out so special! He was very attentive, engaging and genuinely pleasant! The food is amazing, the variety of meats that are offered is great, and there are so many interesting dishes within the salad buffet. Thank you for such a great evening, we will absolutely be back!”

“Five stars for me and my 81-year-old mom! First time eating here as we don’t live in or around Ann Arbor, but will definitely go back if ever in the area! The manager Roy went above and beyond in several ways! He took the time to explain to us how the building used to be an old sawmill and that’s why the decor is the way that it is such an eclectic beautiful place! The server Alyssa was patient with my 81 year-old mother with a smile on her face taking her time with Mom and myself to answer all of our questions! Wish I could give her a raise because she’s one of the best servers I’ve ever had!”

“We celebrated our director's 60th birthday at Los Amigos Fiesta in Ypsilanti, and it couldn't have gone better. We had a group of 30-35 staff members. Jose, the manager, was phenomenal from start to finish. He worked with us weeks in advance to reserve a private section and made sure we had two dedicated servers for our group. Both servers were hardworking and attentive, handling the large party with ease. We also had a special gift presentation for our director, and the private area's screen TV made it possible to share that moment perfectly. Jose and the entire team were incredibly accommodating and professional, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Of course, the food was delicious-as always! Thank you, Jose and the staff at Los Amigos, for making our celebration so memorable!”

Anne and Jasper were the most gracious, welcoming, and fun pair of bartenders I've had the honor of sitting with.

Keep up the AMAZING attitudes and the hospitality will come naturally. You're the best.”

“Just had an awesome meal at Chicago Reds Windy City Hotdog, and I can’t say enough good things about it! We ordered chicken fingers with fries, a BLT, a Reuben, and, of course, chili dogs. Every single bite was delicious. The chicken fingers were crispy, the BLT was perfectly balanced, and the Reuben had just the right amount of tang. And those chili dogs? Absolutely hit the spot. The food was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some seriously good eats!”

Everything on their menu is clearly labeled as GF or as a gluten free option where 2 kinds of gluten free toast or a gluten free pancake can be chosen instead of a regular pancake or regular toast. I also had a delightful gluten free cinnamon roll and I practically licked the bowl.”

“Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our dining experience. Zola Bistro in Bucharest is one of those places that instantly makes you want to stay longer. The floral decor is beautiful without feeling overdone. The space feels cozy and stylish at the same time. I went there for lunch with a friend, and it was exactly the kind of place you want for a slow, easy conversation over good food. The menu has a nice variety. Everything we tried was fresh and well-prepared. I ordered a matcha latte that came with a tiny bear-shaped foam on top, which was a fun touch. We also loved the comfortable seating. The swing chairs gave the place a playful vibe without feeling gimmicky. Service was friendly and fairly quick, even though the place was busy. Prices are on the higher end for Bucharest but fair for the quality and atmosphere. If you’re into places that balance aesthetics with solid food and a relaxed feel, Zola is worth checking out.”

“We are frequent visitors of the Packard location, even before, when it was at Menyard st, downtown. We love you guys!
However: when ordering takeout: When we order the mild it lacks the flavor punch. But when we order medium it’s on the border of what we can handle heat-spice wise. When ordering takeout there is no other option. And putting it in the comments is hit-or-miss. Would be good if medium actually worked for flavor and a nice bit of heat, that is not on the uncomfortable edge.”
