“Mark is incredibly hospitable. Atmosphere is very welcoming. Lighting sets the mood. Lots of laughs and plenty of good company paired with table-side entertainment. Would recommend to anyone looking for anything from a casual date to a business meeting. Thanks guys will be back soon!”
“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.”
“Had one of the best Asian food at Miss Kim’s. The ambience was great to be with friends and family. The food slaps! Especially the Baby back ribs were finger licking good! And the service was great as well! One of the best places for quality Asian food in Ann Arbor!”
“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.”
“This was our second time at Aventura, and it definitely won’t be our last. We love the gorgeous back patio, especially since it’s dog friendly. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The tapas menu is one of our favorite parts because there’s always something new to try every time we visit. Great atmosphere, great food, and another fantastic experience!”

“Excellent experience... so much fun... the food was fresh and the service helpful. Love the numbing peppercorns!!! I will definitely make the effort to go back here. If you havent tried it you really should.
AAA+++++”
“What a gem! Echelon is truly an amazing experience! In fact, our experience was so remarkable, we ate there twice while in town. The restaurant is gorgeous, a real feast for the eyes that gives a significant nod to the building’s rich architectural past while pulling a warm art deco design in a space fitting for an architectural magazine. As amazing as the space was the entire service and food team. Our servers – Jenn on night one and Ella on night two – were so friendly, knowledgeable and everyone went above and beyond to ensure our experience at Echelon was something we would never forget (and we won’t!). We even got visits from the kitchen with Chef Joe VanWagner coming by to greet us, expediter and professional forager Marc Jacob Qualls-Sanchez coming by for a long session on his foraging expertise (amazing!), and even their new tiki bar (coming soon!) manager Max giving us the DL on that space and renovations. We felt like royalty! For a special treat above and beyond the food, service, and overall experience, the Echelon team passed around menus that night to have all the front and back of house staff autograph it for us! I am so excited to add this to the unforgettable memories of our trip to Ann Arbor. It’s absolutely no wonder that Echelon was nominated for a James Beard award. Every bite, every conversation, every story, every sensation was top-shelf!”

“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!”
“Great food. Will definitely go back”
“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!!!”

“I ordered catering from Satchels twice in the past month. Fabulous both times. Loved the pulled chicken and brisket. Mac and cheese and potato salad were great. Baked beans are the best I've ever had. Coleslaw was chunky and healthy. Can't wait for another reason to order.”

“This was our first time in and we tried two cold salads - the Royal Fusion and Kick n' Fresca. Both were fresh and delicious, and we really enjoyed the sweet chili dressing. It had the right amount of sweet and hot. The restaurant is super clean and Karzan is really friendly. We will definitely be regulars!”

“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“I got my box and I was impressed by quality of tea. It’s Amazing! I’ll recommend this tea shop to my friends!”
“We had a great birthday meal with my daughter. Elijah, Jake, and Dylan all made our experience there exceptional. Drinks were out of this world as was the food and the service. Loved every minute of it!”
“Sam Hill on Jackson Road in Ann Arbor is a really fun spot with a lot of character.
The menu was extensive, the food was pretty good, and the restaurant itself has a really neat look and feel. The outdoor space is fantastic, with live music, cornhole, games, and plenty of room to hang out. It feels like the kind of place that works just as well for dinner as it does for meeting friends, bringing family, or enjoying a summer evening outside.
They also have some interesting indoor spaces and rooms that seem like they would be great for events or private gatherings.
My only complaint is that nobody could tell me why the horse has seven legs. I still need answers on that.
Overall, we enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back. A very fun atmosphere, and a unique venue on the west side of Ann Arbor.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Used to work downtown 10 years ago and this was a regular spot and the soups were always great. Stopped back in recently and the soups are still awesome and just like a remembered it. Glad to see they take credit cards now as well. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.”
“I was blown away by how tasty their food is! (A sandwich shop in a gas station is always a gamble) My spouse and I sneak away from kids and pets every once in awhile to grab a Philly cheesesteak and drive into the woods to star gaze. 10/10 date night every time”
“Nicest and most polite people work here, they love their products. Amazing and authentic latte and adeni. She let my wife try some before we got it. We had the Dubai croissant and it was the best croissant of my life, even if you don’t like Dubai stuff, the croissant itself was absolutely tremendous. Atmosphere has authentic music, decor was very different but in a creative and beautiful way, the lights were very classy. Overall easily 5-star experience, can’t wait to go back!”
“We went to JJ Crab house for the first time tonight and we loved it! The food was delicious and we had the best service from Joanna! We will be back!”
“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!”
“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.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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!!!”
“Food is definitely a bit pricey, so Toastique is more of a treat for me, but the service is always incredible. The girl in the hijab, in particular, stands out. Every time I come in, she has a smile on her face and is so welcoming. She always makes the experience even better with her kindness and positive attitude.”
“Check your carry-out before leaving!! Love their food but our last 2 orders were messed up, and no response to my email - not expecting $ but 'sorry, we're going to work on it' would be great and then actually working on it. Stay at their front desk and review your order carefully!”
“Sweet potato roll. That's it. It's amazing. Their other food is very good too and the staff is very sweet and attentive, but that sweet spud in sushi from is delicious and I would eat it every day if I could. Plenty of parking since it's at a strip mall and the prices are very reasonable.”

“We loved our dinner at Pacific Rim during commencement weekend. The food was delicious. The service professional and attentive. The restaurant was lovely. Our new favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor and the prices so reasonable. Thank you for making our evening so special”
Fine Dining
“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!”
“Had a really nice meal here and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. The Bang Bang shrimp was a standout and full of flavor from the first bite. I also loved the lamb, especially with the lentil ragout and seasoned vegetables that paired perfectly with it. The staff was warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Every dish arrived beautifully presented, making the whole experience feel polished and enjoyable.”
“Went for my first time today and the food was phenomenal. Chicken Alfredo was perfect. Bread was amazing. The swiss roll dessert was perfection!! waiter was great. highly recommend dining here.”
Cheap Eats
“Stopped by to try and we were well pleased. Simple menu, clean, and great branding. The place was quick and the tea was perfect. I ordered the Mango tea with strawberry popping and it was very refreshing. Enjoy how great the quality of cup was they used as well. Will always stop in when in the area.”
“El Mestizo: 5/6/26 amazing pupusas and tamales! Very fluffy masa and flavorful beans and cheese. I have gone twice in one weekend and have mentioned it to several people. I am excited to try more items. The pupusas are so crispy and fresh and I love that they have black bean filling. Kind owners and clean restaurant with enough tables for a lunch crowd.
Tmaz: Haven't had a bad item yet. Love the al pastor, carnitas tacos. Great gorditas, chicken flautas and pork tamales. We eat here or grab takeout for friends and family a few times a week since it's fast, always fresh, and the quality is apparent. Love being able to mix and match items for lunch/dinner plates and the rice is delicious! No fat or gristle that you can find at some other places in the meat- I'm picky and thankful!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Food and drinks are delishous, but if you want to be waited on dont go here. You have to go to the register to order and cash out. I suggest cashing out with every dri k so when your ready to leave you don't have to wait in line to pay. Otherwise Great place to gather!”
“Went with a group of 5, had a reservation that was kept timely. The ordering system is so convenient - you can order items and keep a tab open so if you decide to order more you can, and it's all right from your phone. The food was all soo sooooo good. So much so thst even the small negatives cant drop this review from a 6 stars. We were disappointed that a lot of menu items were not available (even white rice) and the curry - though good - had no spice at all. With a Vietnamese restaurant I thought it would be a given. But desserts, entrees, drinks, appetizers - everything we were able to order was delicious. Will definitely be back!”
“Our family threw us a surprise 10 year anniversary dinner here last night (11/24/25) and it was so wonderful so beautiful so clean the food was absolutely delicious. The staff was absolutely amazing. They were on top of it. They were so friendly so helpful and fun. Best steak I’ve ever had, both times now that I’ve been there. Can’t say enough good things & thank you all so much for the amazing experience!!!”
“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. 😂”
“Impressed with the experience I had here. Food came out fast and hot, the atmosphere was nice, our waitress Brooke was very personable. Great to see this location improving. Would definitely go back my experience was a 5/5 and I loved the employee and how they stay on top of refills for all their tables. I recommend this restaurant to friends and family because I loves the experience and environment in this location.”
“Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic! Everything was freshly made and the wait staff was excellent. It was crowded but everyone did a great job! Kudos to you!”
“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!”
“Attended the Grand Opening for the New Smyrna Beach Location. It was very festive. The Bowls were delicious!”
“Excellent atmosphere, had a seat at the bar and tried the family estate rye whisky for the first time, which was excellent. Bartender was prompt and attentive, and my small plates were great accompaniment.
Fried old bay chickpeas - quantity was a large and pleasant surprise, though each individual bean was a little small. Flavor and crunch were nice, never tried putting old bay on my chickpeas before, but definitely too much salt on these, which was a pity. Still a good drinking accompaniment though, and surprisingly addictive.
Prosciutto - orange cantaloupe and blackberries were pleasant alongside prosciutto wrapped around the melon slices, and balsamic glaze went very well. I think the honey tilted the dish a little too sweet though, the fruit was sweet enough. Some nuts or a bit of citrus might have been good instead.
Jupiter and Mars cocktail - a little disappointed by this one, was expecting a more spice forward drink, but the spice was more of an aside to the tequila and sweetness.”
“Brought my family here last night! Very warm atmosphere and excellent authentic food. The cucumber yogurt soup was delicious and the cornish hen was braised and fell off the bone. Don’t miss all the Turkish sodas and juices too! We all felt very welcomed by the hostess. Will definitely return!”
“I dined with my 4 year old & two 13 year olds. We all shared two baskets of fries, a Club and a tenders app. Including a beer & Pepsi the total only $50. The real 5 ⭐️ goes to the service staff. I’ve truly never experienced better. My toddler dropped her water glass which shattered under our table. Before I knew what had happened the staff were at our table to help. We stood out of the way where someone helped me dry her pants & replaced her water. The staff cleaned the mess then moped/dried the floor within ~3 min. It was AMAZING. Thank you!!”
“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.”
“Was a perfect time to go, right at opening. We were seated quickly and served quickly. Servers were personable and gave recommendations! Drinks were delicious and food was amazing. If you like finger food, this is your place!!”
“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!”
“Friends and I were in town for a show at The Ark and popped in by chance - what a delight! Welcoming atmosphere, great service, and one of the best breakfast fry-ups I've had in ages. We live on the other side of the state but agreed that this is worth traveling back for 🙂”
“We dined here to celebrate our parents’ 40th anniversary. They have been coming here for special occasions for many years. The servers were very accommodating, and the food was excellent. The ambiance is cozy, elegant, and welcoming. We absolutely loved our experience here.
It was also such a cute touch that everyone claps and rings a bell whenever a train passes by. It added a fun and memorable charm to the experience.”
“I came from out of town and ordered the Miso Sea Bass. Literally the BEST fish I have ever eaten in my entire life!!! Cannot talk it up enough! Sooo worth the drive to get some of that!”
“Loved it- came in for lunch and found my fave, jjajangbap, readily available and easily tweaked to be vegetarian. Rich, flavorful sauce and lots of veg with mixed rice, and I added a fried egg. Plus milk tea AND they sell turtle brand corn chips? Hoping these guys stick around as the Little Kim to Miss Kim's more formal dining option next door.”
“Every time I’ve been here they have had excellent service and drinks. While they do have a normal bar area as well as pool tables, they also have booths and tables that are more tucked in. The interior design as well as lower lighting gives this place an upscale ambiance.”
“My son and I stopped in before the Michigan game. The drinks and food were very good ! I highly recommend the pretzel sticks and their burgers! 😊👏”
“Great selection of Italian dishes, excellent soup, salad, and bread sticks. The deserts are wonderful. There is a good selection of wines and beer.
The food was served hot and fresh. Each dish looked appealing and smelled delicious.
The wait staff was friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable.
The seating was quite nice with a view of a pond right outside. The ducks and geese made for a wonderful view.
I highly recommend this location for all the reasons above.”
“Server was disturbingly too professional and on point. And kind. 5 stars!”
“delicious sushi and good deals for monday special! good variety of japanese cuisine, and authentic enough for the midwest lol, portion sizes were satisfactory and service was attentive! also nice quiet atmosphere on a monday lunchtime”
“Delicious appetizers...crab cakes and potato skin were perfect and the complimentary brownie birthday sundae was superb!”
“Amazing meals that my entire family loves (even my little picky eater)! Love the healthy versions and rotating menu, so we don’t get bored with repeat meals at home. 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!”
“The food was outstanding!!! We had the Chicago style pizza pie and wow it was amazing and very filling! I would recommend this place hands down! We will definitely return here for more when we are in the area! Thank you for the deliciousness and for a great experience eating in your restaurant! We will be back!”
“Had a phenomenal meal at Zingerman’s Roadhouse on my first visit today. I was torn between two options and my amazing server, Payton was able to put in half orders of each so I could get a little bit of both and not break the bank. Super shout out to Payton by the way, she was a rockstar server! Everything was on time, piping hot and delicious. She even brought my friend a Tide pen when she dribbled her burger onto her shirt!
There were many wonderful little touches like when my friend asked for a beer sample. The bar guy brought THREE…the one she asked for and two similar choices so she could make a decision. We were floored at not only how delicious everything tasted but by how the staff really seemed to love what they were doing.
I ordered the poutine and the friend chicken and mashed potatoes. Chicken was perfectly seasoned and those mashed potatoes were excellent! The poutine was fantastic as well.”
“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!”
“It was nice but the booths was nasty crumbs everywhere maybe should invest in a mini vacuum to clean booths quickly”
“It's a beautiful place. The Dining at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, MI. I haven't been to this place and the Michigan campus in my entire life. I have some friends that went to the University of Michigan. Arthur Miller, an author who wrote Death of a Salesman also attended the University of Michigan and also my teacher, Mr. Ivan Hicks and also Mrs. Varksburg's mother-in-law also went to Michigan. I have been a Michigan fan since when I was 15 years old. When I get the opportunity to go visit my friends and the Michigan fans at the University of Michigan campus, I would love to visit this dining hall. Go Blue!”
“Apps were incredible. Patio seating was lovely. Hosts and servers were accommodating for our large group. The pizza was quite good, some of the red pizza options were a bit soggy, but good flavor on the red sauce and an excellent char on the crust. Would have preferred a bit chewier and more glutenous crumb (especially for sourdough pizza) but nothing to complain about. Would like to come back here for entrees considering how good the apps were. Good selection of local beers, largely Arbor Brewing and a few other craft standouts.
Parking is a circus and there are no handicap spaces or cutouts for wheelchairs.”
“This is one of our favorite Japanese and sushi restaurants in the area. While we don’t go there often, we go to eat there every time we are in Ann Arbor. My favorite is the spicy tuna or salmon bowl. All ingredients are balanced with the right amount of the spicy sauce.”
“i’ve tried other korean BBQ places people recommended to me but not a single one has been better than The Seoul. The bulgolgi (self-grilled) with the sides and rice will send you to heaven (discretion is advised). And their soup is also delicious!”
“The food and the service was absolutely outstanding. The fried ice cream was delicious!”
“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!”
“Had my bridal shower at the location in Ann Arbor and it was absolutely perfect. The food was unreal, staff were phenomenal, and it is so cute inside. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a party venue, night out with friends, or date night. Also been to the Howell and Milford locations and needless to say, we are big fans all around!”
“The best place ever!. Amazing staff and delicious panini. Truly unbeatable service. Relaxing environment. Great to go with your kids If you need to do some work or just chat with a friend. They have a play area. Did I mention Christian music?... for me very important.”
“Great facility - not crowded, it's clean, has all the equipment I need. Angel was very responsive to questions via email before I joined (unlike many other gyms I reached out to), very transparent about pricing, and got a free week to try it out first.”
“I grew up in Ann Arbor and 1972 was so full of unity love and acceptance.We had the Flame on Washington Street and the dance bar on Main called the Scene. I,ve lived the last 40 years in San Francisco and Ann Arbor will always be my home. This place was great to visit on my vacation and I realized how great the people still are here. The staff was so good to me and I will tell everyone in the Castro how great the bar is. Thanks Tiffany”
“I watched the 2026 NCAA men's basketball final here at this cozy restaurant/bar in the lobby of the Graduate hotel. Robin and her co-workers busily served so many people - they were in constant motion! The staff brought out an additional large screen TV for the game, and even took the time to perform some audiovisual troubleshooting when the need arose. What a perfect atmosphere in which to witness a historical U Michigan victory!”
“Everything was great! Especially the atmosphere. The bartenders were super friendly and they had a couple of arcade games that felt so nostalgic. Food was fresh. 100/10”
“Four of us came to this restaurant right after graduation. We were offered limited graduation menu. We ordered pretty much all meals on the menu. Drinks were good, food was OK and service was good. It was expensive and I felt like you paid for ambiance. Had heard a lot about this place but at the end it was disappointing overall”
“Went for a lunch with a friend and I brought my dog so we could go on a hike. Our waiter was super nice and brought out some ice water for her. The food was delicious and they have an inexpensive treat menu for pups as well. Definitely recommend!”
“Had a fantastic time at The Ravens Club this past weekend! The speakeasy atmosphere is spot-on, and the craft cocktails are consistently excellent. The menu of American small plates is delicious, and you can really tell the owner cares deeply about the guests and the business. To top it off, the entire staff is absolutely amazing; So attentive and welcoming. Highly recommend!”
“I went to the Mothers Day Buffet on Sunday.The food was great! The service was excellent. Looking forward too next year.”
“Loved the server Brittany at the bar, she’s very attentive and efficient.”
“Delicious and creative! We enjoyed the Thai taco Wednesday special and the Pescano (Mahi Mahi) along with the guac, homemade tortilla chips, and elote street corn dip. SO good!! Very reasonably priced and good portions. A great on-a-whim dinner stop while in Ann Arbor, and even outdoor dining in warming booths!”
“It was busy, and the food was great! I did feel like maybe a bit overwhelmed for the server at the bar? The kitchen was closed a few times since big orders were coming in but she did let people know about the delay
The food was fantastic- cooked to perfection and flavoured nicely. We didn’t order sides and the food was filling. I want to go back again and try more.”
“Probably the best sushi and Korean BBQ in Michigan! The Nagomi Shrimp and Rainbow rolls were great, as well as the BBQ pork ribs! Complete 5 stars from me!”
“When you sit at the bar and don't even get a menu you can see why they are going out of business. Manager walked by 15 times and never said a word to us. 2 couples got up and walked out because of the lack of service!”
“Hot Pot Chen will forever be one of my comfort restaurants and one of my favorite Chinese spots in Ann Arbor. My family has been going there since I was little, back when it was still Gourmet Garden, so every time I eat there it honestly feels like getting a taste of my childhood again.
Some of my staple favorites have stayed the exact same all these years because they’re just THAT good. The lamb in two styles is seriously one of the best dishes I’ve ever had at any Chinese restaurant anywhere. I genuinely don’t think I’ve had another place prepare it quite the same way. Absolute perfection every single time.
Their sesame beef is also unreal. Crispy, sweet, savory, rich, beefy — it almost tastes like savory candy in the best possible way. I think it’s genuinely one of the best Chinese entrées in Ann Arbor.
I’ll also forever ride and die for their garlic chicken because it feels like the perfect balanced comfort meal with tons of vegetables and the most fragrant garlicky sauce. And as a lifelong dumpling lover, their pan-fried dumplings and dumpling sauce are always mandatory. I love a dumpling with a slightly thicker wrapper that can really soak up all the delicious sauce, and theirs absolutely hit every time.
Another longtime family favorite is the mango beef, which sounds unexpected but somehow works so well.
I also just love the nostalgia of the restaurant itself — especially the big back room with the massive round tables and spinning lazy Susan trays that always made dinners feel special growing up.
Now that I live only a few minutes away, it’s become even more dangerous for me because I crave it constantly. Forever one of my go-to spots.”
“i ❤️ texas!! they always strive to be the friendliest place in town!”
“I had a fantastic experience at campus corner in Ann Arbor! They have an amazing selection of party supplies, from balloons and decorations. The staff was super friendly and helped me find exactly what I needed for my event. Prices were reasonable, and they even had some unique items I hadn’t seen at other stores. If you’re planning a party in Ann Arbor, this is definitely the place to go!”
“Delicious food! Generous portions!!! Prices right! Excellent!!! Nice, clean restaurant! Very professional staff with great service.”

“This was our first time in and we tried two cold salads - the Royal Fusion and Kick n' Fresca. Both were fresh and delicious, and we really enjoyed the sweet chili dressing. It had the right amount of sweet and hot. The restaurant is super clean and Karzan is really friendly. We will definitely be regulars!”

“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.”
“I ordered catering from Satchels twice in the past month. Fabulous both times. Loved the pulled chicken and brisket. Mac and cheese and potato salad were great. Baked beans are the best I've ever had. Coleslaw was chunky and healthy. Can't wait for another reason to order.”

“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 visited tonight after having a rough day. We have been eating out quite a bit because of life…so we have a lot of waiters/waitress. Tonight, we had Bella and she was an absolute gem! She was very attentive, very friendly, and quick to attend to our needs. It was a great dining experience with a wonderful dinner and a great waitress! Thank you Bella!”

“We showed up with about 30 people and the owner was working solo! Due to construction on the street she was not prepared for the flow of foot traffic, however she served us all with urgency and delight. She truly loves what she does! The cinnamon sugar chimney was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend. The atmosphere is also delightful!”
“Some of the best Thai food I’ve had. The coconut soup is AMAZING. The chicken wontons are so good, and I really love the massaman curry. Portions are large, sauces are so flavorful and the service is quick, efficient, and very kind. I’ve been here twice since they opened and will be back often. The interior is nice looking and it’s very clean and well kept. 11/10 across the board. :)”
“An absolute dream. My sister recommended this place to us so we stopped here after taking her for a dr apt. Everything we got was made with so much love. The inside is small so you order and sit on the patio ( fore warning ). We got the croissant which was heavenly. Mushroom soup. I got the coconut latte. My sister also got the tiramisu latte which was delicious. We can’t wait to come back and try the full restaurant menu. 15/10 recommend”
“Went with a group of 5, had a reservation that was kept timely. The ordering system is so convenient - you can order items and keep a tab open so if you decide to order more you can, and it's all right from your phone. The food was all soo sooooo good. So much so thst even the small negatives cant drop this review from a 6 stars. We were disappointed that a lot of menu items were not available (even white rice) and the curry - though good - had no spice at all. With a Vietnamese restaurant I thought it would be a given. But desserts, entrees, drinks, appetizers - everything we were able to order was delicious. Will definitely be back!”
“Everyone who works here is so beyond sweet and friendly! The drinks are so yummy and you can order food from the connected restaurant that they’ll bring to your table. They have sandwiches and pastries inside the coffee shop too that they’ll bring can heat for you!”
“Let me start by saying I found this place by Instagram algorithm pushing it to my feed and I’m glad it did. I was at U of M hospital for an appt and looked in the cafeteria for some lunch before leaving and saw nothing I normal get so while waiting for my daughter to finish her food I was scrolling IG and this place popped up. Watched the Ad video and read the comments and was like I gotta check this place out. Staff was very friendly so let’s start there. I ended up getting the BBQ burger, some fries, the Biscoff milkshake for me and the Nutella milkshake for my daughter. When I tell you this was the best burger I’ve ever had I sincerely mean that. I had to grab another to go for the road back home. Came back again today to get another one and it tasted just as amazing as the 1st time. These guys do not miss!!! Only thing is I wish they were closer to where I live which is the Kalamazoo area. But any time I’m passing through like today I will definitely stop as long as they’re here! Sorry for the long story but needed to add the backstory how I stumbled upon this place!”
