“absolutely just like busha used to make“

“I like many of you, like using the review score when making purchase decisions. I never just look at the score. I look for the number of reviews and I try to find helpful reviews to give me more incite into what I may be getting into. My wife works in a business where the reviews really matter for bringing in new customers. She often talks about the long-time customers who keep returning but have never left a review. Those are really the voices that should matter more to people who want an honest review of the company they are looking into. Unfortunately, even though I like looking at reviews, I seldom leave one unless I'm very satisfied with the company or really disappointed. In both cases, I leave my emotions aside and tell things as I experience them. This means that if everything wasn't perfect, I don't ding them for minor stuff. I give people the benefit of the doubt because we all have those days when we aren't at our best. When I read bad reviews about restaurants that I frequent often, I wonder about the person leaving the review. I feel that they are either competitors with malicious intent, someone who didn't try to listen to resolve whatever issues they perceived to be happening, or simply someone who's looking for a reason and is too hard to please in the first place. So with all that out of the way, let me get to the Lim's Star review. I love Chinese food and it's one of the first things I looked for locally when I bought my house 10 years ago. There are several in what I would consider my drivable area. Lim's Star is in my top 5 or higher depending on what dish I'm looking for. 10 years means I've been coming there since before the current owner. Do I miss the dinner rolls? Not really, since I get better quality food and personalization of meals on request. The new owner knows us on sight and remembers what we like to order. He even allows us to modify the ingredients to our liking. He is very friendly and will engage in small talk to get to know his customers better. We eat at or buy takeout from Lim's Star at least once a month, sometimes more. Has everything always been perfect? No, but I really can't recall the last time I was dissatisfied with my order or service. Based on my long review, I'm hoping you can tell I have had many enjoyable meals from and experiences with Lim's Star. Seriously! If you are on the fence or willing to try something new in your area, start with a dish you know to compare. I doubt you will be disappointed in your comparison. Mark J.“

“Supernatural is pretty amazing! The staff are really cool, friendly, and did I say cool?! Seriously, I have been going to Supernatural for a little over 8 months (I never knew it existed before then) but I am glad I made that first visit!! The food is great, the beer is amazing!! Shadow Realm is one of my favorites (Oatmeal Stout) and being British by birth, trust me when I say I'm a bit picky when it comes to beer. These guys have it nailed. BTW... Li'l Nicky... You rock! I just tried the Ginger Jalapeno brew that you made me for my birthday and that stuff should be on tap... hopefully it will someday soon! Keep doing what you do guys!! You can bet I'll be back again... and again... and again!!“

“Best ribs on the planet!!!!!! Sauce is terrific!! Appetizers are phenomenal Atmosphere is crazy loud, but it puts a person in a very festive mood - You can't help, but feel happy“

“The food at this place is great. I've been here many times and everything has been good. What separates this place is the service! 100% of the reason I stay here is the service from Jill and Cheri at the Ganders restaurant! I come back here nearly every week because of their customer-focused, friendly, fun personalities! Everyone needs more great employees like these two!“

“Just came to say I enjoy the time I spend at the Wintergarden. The Wednesday wings are great and I get them almost EVERY Wednesday, the Sunday half off pizza is also a great deal and quite tasty. The service is usually good, but it depends on who is working. I am usually there during happy hour so my review is based on that. I have three bartenders I particulary like to see, Brei, who unfortunately for me, has branched out to better herself and is not there so often anymore, Alison, who knows my wing order by heart, and Sam who kicks butt and takes great care of me.“

“Was excited to try for the first time. Got three meals and some extra sides. Got home to incorrect order but went back and was given the correct order free of charge. They were attentive. Wasn’t thrilled with the food but restaurant looked clean and the whole team stayed busy working on orders. Mix ups happen. Glad they corrected it :)“

“Very nice staff and great customer service. Always pleased with the service and the food altogether. Food was fresh and hot. They are in the perfect location, why? Because their right next to my house lol. But yes very impressed with the korean bowl and the chicken sizzle bowl.“

“Visited on Sun 12/21 and they were so busy... but we got in very quickly! Our server, Brianna B was awesome! So sweet and friendly, she helped make our holiday lunch so much fun! And the food was delicious... came out HOT.. and that made all the difference!“

“I got their breakfast burrito & personally that’s one of the best I’ve had anywhere! The salsa they serve on the side is delightful & the server I had I believe her name was Katie, she made my husband & I feel very welcome as it was our first time & we weren’t sure what to get, she didn’t rush us into anything & even recommended a few items that she likes, the breakfast burrito being one of them which I can’t thank her enough for. I also love the look of the place the windows make it feel so open & when the suns out it’s a very pretty little cafe aesthetic to dine at. I didn’t rate 5* because even though the service & food was great their was a lot of commotion in the kitchen & even some yelling which just kind of makes the dining experience a bit awkward, wish they were more professional.“

“Thank you to Krystal for the awesome service. Great food and great service, we will be back.“

“This has become my favorite restaurant. The food is outstanding.“

“My daughter-in-law brought me here for my first with my granddaughters. The whipped feta appetizer was great! Addictively salty, sweet, and spicy with the perfect bread on the side. The kids menu ice cream sundae was the perfect finish!“

“This was our first time and we ordered a few things so we could try it all. The dragon steak was amazing, the Philly steak sub was great and so was the bam bam shrimp as well as the bbq chicken egg rolls. But the star of the show was the bbq brisket bowl. Oh and the smoothies were also phenomenal. The guy behind the counter did his thing!! Well worth the price!!“

“We really enjoyed our dinner at Shakers! Our waitress, Leah, was very friendly, made sure our order was perfect, and kept coming back to check if we needed anything else. Leah was outstanding and made our dining experience excellent! Also, the manager, Crystal, checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal and was very friendly and kind! We will definitely be returning to Shakers after having such a great experience.“

“Best service we’ve ever had, food was delicious and so fresh. Highly recommend! Ask for Moe when you go, he’s the best! ❤️“

“Malek absolute beast. Best costumer Service was great. Food was amazing. Literally the best chicken I’ve ever had in Dearborn and I’m not kidding. I don’t know how this place doesn’t have five stars and there’s a rated a 4.7 . Someone clearly is hating but man I’m telling you if you haven’t tried this place come and try it and if you don’t like it, I’ll pay your bill.“

“I rarely write reviews but I want this restaurant to never go away. Go there, spend your money, you won't be upset. Comfortable restaurant, fantastic staff, and amazing food! We ordered appetizers, lunch, and take out for dinner. We got the Reuben Spring Rolls, Pretzel Sticks, Monte Cristo and the Bourbon Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, all delicious! The Mushroom Soup and Beef Stew are the best I've ever had!“

“Been going there for several years. I like the service. No fooling around no loud talking, laughing out loud, just taking care of business.It’s quiet, professional service, everybody working, and most of the time they got my eggs just like I like them. can’t say anything negative about omega, and I always run into Brenda sitting right on the end at the counter. They know who Brenda is, but you guys might not. I’ll give omega 10 stars.“

“Thank you, Paige C., for the wonderful service you provided us tonight. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and you were a great server. Your timing was terrific and we had a really nice time. The meals were delicious and we thank the kitchen staff for providing them. Thank you to the kind gentleman who delivered them to our table. The warm chocolate chip cookies were better than we could have ever expected, really gooey and absolutely fabulous. The sparklers were a fun addition. We all appreciated your expertise at your craft. You did an amazing job and really contributed to a wonderful evening. Thank you so much!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. Our chef, Gregory, cooked us nachos and spaghetti bolognese..which were outstanding. Our bartender, Savannah, couldn't have taken better care of us. Kudos to you both.“

“We visited last Sunday while in town from the west side of the state, and it was a wonderful experience. Everyone—from the staff to the other customers—was incredibly friendly. I often get anxious eating out because restaurant staff can seem unhappy, but that wasn't the case here at all. We had a great time!“

“Quiet and peaceful. profession was on point.“

“Good Breakfast. Good service and appreciate their efforts“

“the food is always great and I love all the servers. they are so kind and caring. great neighborhood spot“

“Love the food & service here“

“Our server Chris was spot on. From the moment we were seated he made us feel special. I ended up ordering the bang bang shrimp tacos which he recommended. They were so good! Our drinks were kept full the entire time. It was so nice to have a server who made sure we had everything we needed without having to ask. Can’t wait to sit on their patio once it gets warmer out.“

“This is the finest restaurant that I have been to in Michigan. The service is excellent, and the food is amazing. The Chef Maddi is extremely talented. Our server has been Ken who is ver professional and friendly.“

“My wife and I stumbled across this nice little pizzeria in downtown Northville. The pizza tasted like it was made in Italy. We had the Homey Badger. We also had their Italian sausage meat balls for appetizers. The staff are very nice setting the tone for a nice atmosphere.“

“The food, service, and vibe were all great! We went in around 5 for an early dinner, but by the time we left at 6:30 it was busy so I’d make reservations if visiting after 6. We had the Kirkland and the islander and Heineken for drinks. We shared the steak frites and crab cakes with baked mac and cheese as a side. It was all delicious and the portions were decent sized. I’d def recommend this place for date night!!!“

“Concept of the bar was great. Waitresses or lovely. Tom sandovalt want to be bartender complete jackass! Will never come back.“

“Thank you to Krystal for the awesome service. Great food and great service, we will be back.“

“Great food and drinks are amazing“

“Great food and nice vibe! We came after the Lathrup Village Community Foundation’s 2025 Summer Concert Series. Awesome time.“

“Our 1st time there! It was absolutely amazing! The pizza was like the old fashion pizza, we loved it! The service was spectacular!! We will definitely be back!!“

“We were in Wednesday night. The country omelette was amazing, love the rye toast (there are seeds in it) they gave plenty of gray on the omelette.Coffee was the best coffee I've had from a diner. Our purple haired waitress karol was absolutely phenomenal!!! Her personality is a 10/10 funny, pretty and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall she is a real gem of a person. We will be back, if not for the food definitely for karol!“

“I used to stop by L George’s regularly for breakfast carryout, and the food was always good. The only reason I stopped going wasn’t because of the food—I simply decided to start cooking breakfast at home more often. Overall, it’s a solid place for breakfast.“

“good food ... good service... will go back“

“If you’re looking for a good burger, this is the place to come! Portions are huge and taste amazing! We will be back soon!“

“Ive been here a few times to delivery throne chairs and marquee numbers for a party there event space is huge and they’ve made some updates to the flooring. The space can hold a lot of people and every party I’ve delivered to here seem to be a good party and have a nice turn out.“

“Just had the best bar burger I’ve had in age’s….. seriously perfect medium burger, full of flavor, not greasy. Will definitely be our choice for a burger in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“A great place to unwind after a long day. American comfort food such as certified angus beef smash burgers, fresh fish tacos, cajun chicken alfredo, and beer-battered fried shrimp.

It’s like a neighborhood meeting spot, warm and welcoming with a great wait staff. Quick friendly service. Great little place tucked away in The Sheraton Novi Hotel.“

“Classic table service with seasonally prepared dishes. Hummus with Kalamata olive pesto and on site made pita bread was hard to want to share. Roasted salmon with couscous, which was a tad dry, and lovely Swiss chard hit the spot. Large by the glass wine list with many great choices.“
