50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Hamtramck

“Cool Establishment (though hot as hell in the lobby). Very pleasant customer service. I had the Chopped Cheese Fries, extra ranch & bacon. It was really good. I grew up in NJ/NY & chopped cheese sandwiches from the bodegas are a great memory for me, so this is a good spot to ease my nostalgia. I’ll be trying the Chopped Cheese sandwich next time.“

“I went to Taj AL-Yemen simply because it was open early and did not realize the space they took over nor how much variety they have.

1st this was a very famous breakfast spot in Hamtramck before the change of owners and I'm happy to say it still is. Very steady stream of workers coming in for a quick bite or grab coffee and something to go.

2nd the variety is wide and it's all very very good. I ordered fosoulia with egg, chicken galaba but it was too early for tandoori bread. I also got a mango lassi (yes I have to order it everytime I see it)

When I arrived I first drove past remembering the old spot then I double checked GPS. The inside layout of the restaurant has been redone, lots and lots of seating. You still have the doughnut counter but the I noticed Burek, whenever I see Burek I have to order it they have feta and spiced beef. It's super fresh and still warm at 7:15 am.

There's another hot food case, lots of choices but I saw the East African/Western Arabian (Arab/Swahili) style sambosas (yes with the B!) and of course I had to get 6 of those with the spice shake.

Additionally they have the same Arab/Swahili style sesame + honey crackers so I had to get some of these as well.

FINALLY I'm looking and they have the tastiest looking Saffron Rice and it was too fresh to pass up and a medium size box also had to come with me.

Now when I say I bought a lot of food I really mean I bought a lot of food. With tip it was only $70 and I'll be eating for days.

So happy to have found this gem in Hamtramck that opens up super early on my 2nd day of vacation. There's too much good food, the doughnut also look amazing. I'd say you have to go for the samBosas alone.“

“Wow. What an absolutely fantastic final dinner of 2023! After we managed to find a late dinner reservation for New Year's Eve, it was a relief to discover that our excitement about the tasting menu was well-placed. I would definitely recommend the drink pairings as well! The amuse-bouche featuring oysters from the West and East coasts was a delightful way to splash into the meal. The wasabi and the mangosteen featured in each of the oysters, respectively, complimented the beautiful brine of the oysters in such a wonderfully playful way. This first tasting urged us to pause the menu progression and order an extra dozen oysters to explore the other possibilities. Tasting from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island, they were beautifully prepared and of excellent quality. The first course of lobster salad felt like a summer in Maine. Not that I've ever been to Maine, but the imaginary scene flashed across my vision as I took that first refreshing bite. The grapefruit emulsion worked almost majestically with the light, refreshing flavor of the lobster salad. The tapioca chip was perfect for the crunch to fully bring the different elements of the dish together. A fascinating intersection of refreshment and comfort. The second course was the potato pavé. I'll be thinking of this potato often for the foreseeable future. It was one of those dishes that makes your eyes pop open a bit when you bite it as you realize how good it is. A beautifully layered and seared rectangle of flaky delicious potato resting with a lovely salsa brava speckled with trout roe, topped with tarragon, cured trout, and black truffle flakes. I don't even know what else to say. It was stunning. Sea urchin buttered ramen, the third course, will always be what I wish my at-home thrown-together ramen could be. It was rich, it was luscious, it was comforting. Growing up in southeast Texas, crawfish boils were always some of the most exciting times of the year. The crawfish tails in the ramen brought me back to those summer days eating crawfish with a cold beer. The duck breast for the fourth course was exceptionally cooked. It was juicy and flavorful and made a perfect bite with a bit of cauliflower, raisins, apricot, agrodolce, and foie-sauce. Each bite was such a symphony of flavor that kept me coming back. Last but absolutely not least was the gâteau ardéchois: the chestnut cream cake. Accompanied by cranberry coulis and crispy meringue bites, this dessert was a sweet but still mellow finish. While the coffee mascarpone ice cream was a robust and complementary flavor, we both agreed the vanilla coconut ice cream was the star between the two. Thank you again to the stellar crew at Mink! Happy New Year!“

“Silly me!
I just found this Happy Hour M-F 2-5:30
We got here 3:15 on a Thursday, totally chill, parked right out front.
Great spot for half day hookie. Nooner or sooner. ))
We had: bloody mary's, the burger is excellant, salmon dip is very tasty, the fried pickles are spears & lightly breaded. Moving on to the spicy margarita & ranch water.
The patio seating in the afternoon is shaded by the building.
I'll be back.“

“If you're in Detroit and you're a foodie like I am, Vecino is not to be missed. This was truly one of the best experiences I've had a restaurant from top to the bottom! The ambiance, the music was fantastic, the food was soo flavorful and just sublime, and Molly the bartender just killed it! Molly was fantastic, she was super genuine and friendly, attentive, and she even gave me a recommendation for a cool wine bar the next night. Highly highly recommend Vecino its fantastic!“

“I ordered food and they didn’t get my order correct but when i came in they fixed it for me and gave me free fries on the house. The food was absolutely good. I would go there again. The greens, spaghetti, catfish n tilapia is good“

“We always have a great experience here. The food is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere makes it an easy place to relax and enjoy a meal. Service was just as strong—our waitress was very attentive and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. It’s the kind of place where you feel well taken care of without even having to ask. Lumen really stands out as a go-to spot for both great food and reliable service.“

“Been going there for 60 yrs. My dad used to work there back in the early 60s. GREAT FOOD.“

“Great service fresh food great vibes!“

“The best Indian food In Michigan ,loved it and recommended to others“

“Wonderful staff & food! So glad we stopped in to try this restaurant, it’s near my daughter’s new home & now we know where we are eating every time we visit. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“Townhouse continues to be one of Detroit’s standout dining experiences. The sushi is phenomenal—exceptionally fresh, with rice that’s perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, which makes all the difference. The ambiance is equally impressive, offering an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere that feels special without being pretentious.

If possible, request indoor seating facing Congress or Woodward Street. The views add another layer to the experience and make for great people-watching while you dine.

The price point is definitely on the higher end, but the quality, freshness, execution, and overall experience justify the cost. Simply put, the food and atmosphere deliver value that aligns well with the premium pricing.“

“We planned on trying a few other pasta spots for Valentine’s Day, but everything was booked solid. Ended up giving the new kid on the block, Oak & Reel, a shot—and I’m glad we did. The veal-stuffed ravioli was unreal. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert—it’s non-negotiable. And the Banana Run cocktail? Dangerously good.“

“Was not disappointed. Food was good.“

“The lady is so sweet and such a sweetheart and the food is sooooo good and seasoned Go check them out“

“Food is A-1 five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️definitely will be back“

“Fred's has established themselves as the fsh kings in me and my family eyes.

I really don't know or understand what's going on with the fish market these days, but the fish from other establishments I have frequented, are bad pieces of fish to sell to the market.

I won't name the establishment, but they serve fish for profits only. The quality of the fish is subpar at best .

Fred's has consistently served fresh flavorful fish, with choice pieces that were selected for satisfaction and to cure the hunger of their customers.

Way to go Fred...“

“Food always good. Cash only.“

“I've had the pleasure of purchasing food from the space several times. It's located inside of the gas station, but has his own section on the far end. I've had the chance to purchase lunch and dinner, and the food has been really good. The only issue I've had is what I received during those orders. I did not receive everything I requested. Other than that, I would suggest giving them a try.“

“I can’t say enough about our dining experience! This restaurant is on my TOP list here in Nashville and I will now frequent. Everything from start to finish was superb! Our waiter Sid was nothing g more than AMAZING and the manager was very nice and came by to say hello! The FOOOOOD was SO good it’s definitely worth it!!“

“Loved the food and drinks! The staff was so friendly“

“You really don't meet nice service people anymore. But at this place, Charity, won my heart. Thank you for making my experience a happy one. Peace.“

“Spent our anniversary here tonight (not our first time) food was AMAZING!!!!! 10000% recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“New menu was amazing. We had the potatoes, the scallops, burrata, and mushroom with shiitake dish. Burrata was hands down my favorite, thing. Perfect combination!! Highly recommend everything I got and the service was perfect, I mean like I finished my water and by the time my glass hit the table it was refilled. This was actually my second time, I’ve been before for a friends birthday and we had a different menu…..the pomegranate ribs were mouthwatering delicious. Not to mention the atmosphere inside, I personally love plants and that’s the first thing you notice when you walk in the door. Check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“The best food in Greektown“

“Love the Jumbo Shrimp and they are the only place that has Orange Roughy which is my favorite!! This the only fish place that i go to!!“

“I tried Vicente’s Cuban Restaurant in Detroit last weekend before a Tigers game and it did not disappoint! A lot of restaurants downtown were either closed or had long waits, so I decided to give Vicente’s a try and I’m glad I did. The staff was very friendly, the food came out quickly, and the Pan Con Bistec was amazing. Shoutout to our server Abraham for being so accommodating. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re downtown Detroit!“

“Good food friendly people“

“Everything i got was so tasty! Y una michelada pa matar la sed 🔥💯“

“The food was delicious as always but there has been some changes No free salad with meal anymore if you order the all you can eat shrimp you will not be provided with take out containers for my people that feel unlimited means doggy bag lol No zip lock baggies The shrimp police checked a ladies bag and she was asked to eat her meal at her table👀 They appear to have figured out the angles so leave the zip lock baggies at home“

“Good food , goods service.“

“Very good fresh fish. Golden. Cole slaw is good too.“

“great food and service...“

“We rolled up to a full house with guests waiting on their take out food. Somehow you knew it was food worthy waiting for. There was community amongst strangers in anticipation of being fed. The car ride home was plagued with the aroma of delicious food, making a 15 minute drive feel like an eternity. Once home, we grabbed forks and dug in like starved hostages. I briefly reminded myself to chew and savory the flavors and not just inhale the plate like a wild animal. Starving or not, the food was perfect! Broccoli to perfection, rice that soaked up the sauce, chicken juicy, salmon flaky and moist. Would order again!“

“Great pizza, great wings, food is perfect!!!!!! The people there are friendly!!!!! Awesome customer service!!!!!!!“

“excellent food excellent service great food.“

“What catches me is to cook He was clean he wore gloves and a food he kicked me was delicious Service ended up being pretty good but at first it was a little shallow cuz I always say hello how are you today It's nothing wrong with speaking so I kept on talking to her sparked up a conversation and it ended up very decently her service was very kind and I will attend going back here again overall I had a good experience and I finally found me a place where I can have some good food to eat Thank you“

“This is my favorite Manhattan location, the food is good and the service is top tier! I love that they accept EBT too; that is helpful to so many ppl!

There is another location down the street, but this one the BEST so stop here first!“

“Food always good. Cash only.“

“Try what you enjoy eating, just let Lanette cook it for you.“

“The Smoked Laker Bites are fantastic! The price might seem higher, but they give you twice as much as store bought, so I figured out I was actually saving money! I am looking forward to the Smoke Lake Trout Fillets next.“
