Restaurants in Novi

“awesome food..awesome service”

“I’ve been here several times. The last time was in April 2025. We ordered a glass of tomato juice and a white Russian from the waiter in the comedy club. He returned quite a while later, to tell us he did not have either of those things. Now, when we ate at the restaurant upstairs before the show, I confirmed with the bartender that he indeed had plain tomato juice available. They also had the ingredients, I’m sure, for a white Russian in the upstairs bar. Can you imagine how much business you’re missing just because a waiter didn’t want to go upstairs and get two common drinks? Just a thought.”

“Really good place and good food”

“Our server Miranda took an order outside. She noticed a water bottle on the grass & picked it up, She could have left it for the landscapers to pick up but on this very chilly day she took the time. Miranda was pleasant and wish more employees were like her.”

“it was our first time here at Maisano's. we were celebrating our 29th anniversary. our server was Layla. She did an awesome job. her service to us made our anniversary extra special. thank you so very much. we will definitely be back.”

“Absolutely best and highest quality Chinese food that I know of. This isn’t your typical “Chinese Restaraunt”. You’ll find no buffet or anything of that sort here. Impeccable interior, with the added plus of the Jia Bar Connected and owned by the same owners. Stop and have a craft cocktail at Jia then 10 steps into the China Cafe through the door and be prepared for a fantastic experience! Owners are absolute gems as well.”

“My kids loved the Korean corn dogs! Def will be back. Sad you were out of the honey butter fries today cause those are incredible but still had a great lunch!”

“A group of us celebrated Birthdays last night and all 10 of us raved about the food. The service and food was amazing and we will definitely be back!”

“Madison our server was very kind & nice. She had us eating our dinner in no time. Thanks, Madson”

“We were gifted a voucher at the Mi State Fair special needs nights by the manager- Jessica. We came in and enjoyed a WONDERFUL meal as a family and our son had the best time! Jessica was so very kind and came out to see us, and our server Sarah treated us like family! We are so appreciative of your generosity and kindness! We will be back to see you soon! Thank you!!!”

“The food was excellent. The service was even better. Very friendly people that really care. I had the best beef. It was so tender and tasty. The duck was delicious. Try their noodles.”

“The Good:
They've got legit Japanese chefs and a massive menu, so you've got tons of options. The staff is friendly and they don't drag their feet getting your food out. Plus, the prices won't break the bank for most things.

The Hamachi and Katsuo no Tataki were fresh wins, the Onion-Lever is a standout with fantastic texture, and that Akadashi Miso Soup with herbs and seaweed sounds like a real treat!

The Not-So-Good:
Watch out for some misses. The Soba soup apparently has a funky, sour thing going on. The Potato Salad is a letdown in the flavor department, and the fried oysters miss the mark on texture.

The Bottom Line:
Fumi's a mixed bag. You can have a great meal here, but you've gotta be smart about what you order. Stick to the fresh fish, the Onion-Lever, and that special miso soup, and you'll likely be happy. Venture off that path, and you might end up with something you regret. Choose wisely!”

“Our server was very friendly and guided us about what to order based on our preferences. They have a good collection of sakés. We also ordered a few fancy rolls and they did not disappoint. Everything on the menu tasted pretty authentic.”

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

“Jazz is such a great Barmaid,and a real professional,we just love the atmosphere..Randa the mgr is a great person as well,,we just love her presence..we will be back”

“We had my sons graduation party catered and we received so many compliments. Everything start to finish was easy and so delicious. It was hands down the best catering experience we have ever had. The food was amazing and even some families will be contacting you for their parties. We will continue to have all your patties catered by you. Thank you for making his special day amazing and delicious.”

“Everything was good fast service an on point”

“Our family came in at 630 on a Friday and were seated right away. Rush was stating, grill was down, and they were short staffed— but Cameron and Eden saved the day. 10/10 customer service and despite running around like crazy made our group feel seen, heard, and our time enjoyable.”

“Shawn our server was awesome. He came to our table like 5 times asking if we needed anything. This doesn’t happen much at restaurants nowadays. Food was excellent and very flavorful.”

“Great Food, staff and ambiance.”

“This is a great hardworking staff & happy to be a part of! Top leadership always taking feedback and making changes for the better.”

“Jessica is the bomb.com my bf took me out for my bday and the food was delicious amazing phenomenal like me lol come and check Jessica out in Novi thanks bfffffff tyyyyy for the movies and dinner �”

“Great place with great owners. High recommended especially for cornhole.”

“Love the place. Simply can’t wait to Revisit !! This is a wonderful spot for friends and family.”

“Great Sunday Brunch Menu!”

“If you're craving Italian food with exceptional service, look no further the dishes are packed with flavor, and every bite feels like a taste of Italy. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal and a warm atmosphere! Thanks, Julian, for always delivering an amazing experience”

“Really good pizza and bread sticks. I order a large meat lovers and bread sticks. The sauce and cheese are so good. The meats were really good and quality was well. Breadsticks were soft and buttery with Parmesan cheese on top.”

“This was the first time here and we will definitely be back. They had a huge variety of games, clean bathrooms and establishment. All of the employees were so kind and patient with all of the littles ones, including my 6 year old. All of the games were working, and prices were fair. I would definitely recommend this place, and it was worth the hour drive! Thanks for being awesome, y’all!”

“Just got back from eating an amazing chicken Sandwich at Byrd's in Novi. Let me be frank Chic-fil-a and Kimchi Box are garbage. Get yourself a real chicken sandwich. WARNING: Byrd's is not playing with the spices... my wife got her's medium and it was hot.”

“hi ,just wanted to say I'm sick with a summer cold and nothing sounded good except soup,I tried your lentil soup and it was the best lentil soup I've ever had can't wait to try everything on your menu,you e now made me a loyal customer!!!”

“Super delicious lattes & wonderful customer service. Also love their wraps and treats! 5 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Moe’s on 10. Seriously top notch customer service, and awesome food too! We were hosting a brunch for 14 people for our daughter’s first communion celebration and I was having a terrible time finding a place for brunch on a Saturday for the group of our size…we were too small of a group for most restaurants private dining rooms (most minimums were for 20 people) and too big for just regular reservations…or the place only did brunch on Sundays…I started looking on the local community pages for recommendations of new places I hadn’t heard of and I saw a comment about Moe’s on 10. I checked out social media and the website and read reviews of people who had similar size parties and decided to give it a test run that Saturday. Our first time there was just the three of us, we were immediately pleased when we walked in the door and were greeted right away by multiple staff members. So friendly! We were sat down very quickly in a nice booth and received very prompt service from Michael. He was very attentive and welcoming. The food at the brunch buffet was hot and fresh with all the standards and then some. The gentleman working the omelette and waffle station provided wonderful service and made fantastic food, delivering right to your table. At the end of our meal (our 8 year old loved everything she had) I inquired with Michael about their availability to accommodate our group and he was very eager to help and assured me they could absolutely take our party. I was ecstatic. The week of our daughter’s first communion I called the restaurant to see about some special requests I had for our reservation. Michael helped me out again and was just a delight to work with. Seriously so accommodating. The night before our party I dropped off some flower vases and picture frames to go on the table. We were again greeted by super friendly staff and helped right away. The day of our party we walked in and everything was setup up beautifully and ready to go. Our party members made comment about how nice and clean the place was and everyone raved about the food and service. Our server took great care of our large group. And again, the gentleman working the made to order station nailed it. He took excellent care of everyone in our group and was so great with the kids, we had 5 of them under 10. They loved their mini waffles! And to top everything off, their prices are sooo reasonable! Moe’s earned some devoted customers in our family. You can totally feel the family atmosphere and how much they care for their customers, and the food is amazing too!”

“The food is amazing and the staff is super friendly, my favorite restaurant in the area.”

“The food is so good!! Had dinner there tonight. The salmon is cooked perfect and great combination of the sweet tomatoes and red skin potatoes. Portions are more that generous. The service is prompt and friendly.”

“Awesome customer service!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Anthony, was great. He greeted me when I came in, the ambiance and the store atmosphere was inviting. It was clean and the food was delicious. The place was also very clean”

“I ordered o line & there was a glitch where my card was charged, but the order didn’t go thru on Buddy’s end. I thought I was gonna be screwed & have to take it up with my card company or wait & see if the charge fell off, but Buddy’s did right by me and made the pizza for me I had ordered online”

“Amazing!!! 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋”

“Really good food. Fries arrived hot. Great variety of foods. Friendly waitstaff. One of my favorite places to eat.”

“I used to come here in 2010s. Today I came back here with my son to show my regular sushi place. Ajishin still offers top notch udons and sushi at cheap prices. I felt that Udon was a bit saltier than before. It's unfortunate that we were not able to eat inside any more but worthy of 30 minutes drive from Ann Arbor.”

“Absolutely best and highest quality Chinese food that I know of. This isn’t your typical “Chinese Restaraunt”. You’ll find no buffet or anything of that sort here. Impeccable interior, with the added plus of the Jia Bar Connected and owned by the same owners. Stop and have a craft cocktail at Jia then 10 steps into the China Cafe through the door and be prepared for a fantastic experience! Owners are absolute gems as well.”

“Have been living in the area for a few years and it is always hopping every time I drive by. Decided to stop there yesterday with my husband. They had an overwhelming selection to choose from. Almost too many options my husband said. They had flurries, ice cream, shakes, frozen yogurt, frozen drinks, frozen coffee, and even physical ice cream packages. They had so many flavors as well. I personally loved how many options they had. I got the frozen yogurt with salted caramel and my husband got strawberry shortcake flurry. There was actual strawberry shortcake in the flurry! They came quickly and the proportions were great. I can see why where are always busy. My hubby now says we should go there every Sunday. 😂 I recommend! You will never run out of things to try!”

“This place is a hidden gem. They can a great selection. Of ramen and noodle dish. Everything is self serve. Price is reasonable

Parking: Ample parking”

“My Mom placed a large order of chicken tenders from here for my nieces grad party. My Mom has a hard time getting around so she called to see if they would be able to load them for her. The team there was over the top nice to her and even called her the day of to see if she would rather they deliver them. The chicken tenders were HUGE! She ordered way more than we needed so I took the extras to my lake and everyone who had them thought they were AMAZING! We made sure everyone knew where we got them. We will definitely be back and so will our friends and family ❤️”

“Nice little breakfast or brunch place. Very inviting and welcoming. We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival. Our order was also taken quickly and food was brought in no time. Love how they have the individual high counter seats, you can sit and eat by yourself too! Very refreshing!”

“FINALLY!!! I found good Chinese Food. 💯
The BBQ pork lo mein, and the spring rolls were the best I’ve ever had. The sesame chicken, beef and broccoli with fried rice, and fried dumplings were also really good, unique flavor and sauces.
Expensive for sure, but the portions were generous. Highly recommend for a great takeout meal. I’ll definitely order again!”

“I ordered the 4 pcs chicken dinner and 3 pcs fish and chips for my daughter and I to share. Everything was great! I ordered delivery and the food arrived hot. I asked for extra crispy fries and they were perfect. The coleslaw was fresh and delicious. The portions were large and we had enough for leftovers. Highly recommend Primos!”

“Great staff and delicious food!!!”

“We visited the Novi, MI location and we absolutely loved it! The food was fantastic and our server (shout-out AJ) was so wonderful and helpful. Five stars!”

“Visiting for a wedding and stopped in for lunch. Delicious! Convenient and the staff was so friendly and helpful!

We recommend the chipotle sauce and garlic sauce on anything you get!”

“We are visiting from Houston and were delighted to find this restaurant. I am vegetarian and was excited to see so many options. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Highly recommend!”

“Phenomenal, they really care about their customers! Food is amazing! Experience is top notch!!!!”

“I've been going here for breakfast. I must say the food was delicious! I recommend. The waiter is super Nice. Give them a try. I might go tomorrow. Great job Novi Coney!

Dietary restrictions: I'm allergic to onions they made sure my food was made right. Thanks again.”

“Fantastic Bubble Tea spot! I always come back here. The place is always very clean and has a great atmosphere, while the teas are super delicious! Haven’t had a bad one yet and I’ve been coming for years. Thank you!”

“I tried the sandwich of the day, and it was fantastic. It was generously loaded with ham and had just the right amount of mustard, all on good-quality bread.
The personnel were very attentive and nice, which always makes a difference. They also have a great variety of other foods available, along with a selection of bottled sodas and beverages.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd recommend checking them out!”

“We got the signature incredible burger and cheese fries and I have to say the meat in here was phenomenal. Melt in your mouth burger with that special sauce. Highly recommend this spot. It’s quick too. Sandeep is great as well the customer service he provide and the food he makes is always top tier. Thanks sandeep for the experience. We will be back again soon.”

“This place is Fantastic,. the Eat in experience is great Sizzling Hot food great tasting food anybody has take out. you need to experience this .”

“I’ve been managing restaurants for 20+ years. We had the pleasure of having Eric as our server. Eric was absolutely wonderful! Very very friendly and personable. The food is always great and they even have pina colada’s! Best Mexican food in Walled Lake, Commerce Twp, West Bloomfield, and Novi!”

“I've been going here with a group of friends for a several years now and it's become a tradition that I would never want to quit! The food is delicious and the staff is AMAZING (shout out to Miguel, Raul, Seira, Angelica, Crystal and anyone else I've missed --- LOVE you all!) Some of my go-to faves: shrimp tacos, anything with beef cheek (quesadillas, tacos, etc.), taco salad, fajitas (the meal that ends up being 2-3) and anything from the bar :D I'd also like to take a moment to really commend the staff & owners: ever since COVID started, it's been extremely tough for most every restaurant to obtain/keep their staff. I know there may be times Alchile can get really busy (as there are a lot of us that go regularly) and there may be times you may have to wait longer than you'd like to get a seat (or your food/drink) but know that the staff works really hard & truly cares about each customer and you will NOT be disappointed! They are well worth the wait”

“Yori is amazing. reasonable prices and great quality!”

“They make the BEST SHAKES!! So good 😋”

“Really yummy Margaritas!!!”

“My friend brought me here to check out and man this place did not disappoint! The baked goods for kids I assume, were just adorable, perfect for school lunches! Top notch! But the panko crusted curry filled ydonut is what I fell in love with! I took a bite on the spot and the lady enquired "is the curry good?" "Oh god yes" I think was my reply. I got dragged away to another bakery but I insisted we go back for another. And we then went back for one more later that evening. The sweets and almond crisp cookies were phenomenal! Perfection! I live in Ann arbor but I will be back soon! ♥️♥️”

“Tae at the Novi store is always warm and friendly! Customer service is excellent at this location … not to mention my order is always right ! In love with the cosmic dream bowel!”

“Dinner was delicious. Sushi was fresh, and we had very friendly service. Everything was fantastic. This will definitely be one our new go to restaurants”

“Amazing service!!”

“Fantastic food, great portion sizes, and awesome service!”

“Excellent place especially for breakfast!
The poached eggs are made perfectly! Vera and the staff are attentive and friendly. Very family friendly with a loving atmosphere.”

“I have been a long standing customer here. Food has always been great and the chef is really nice. However, lately the waitress taking our orders has been very rude. She throws the menu at you and looks upset you are even there. Again, food is amazing and we keep going back because of it but the experience lately has been very poor.”

“Delicious Sushi. I tried a few different kinds. All were great!”

“Very impressive coffee shop! James is very talented and provided outstanding customer service. I am from Ohio but will make this a must stop each time I am back in Novi! Well done team! Cheers.”

“We have been coming here for over 15 years and the food is amazing! The employees are the kindest people and we love going there! Also, the crabs are the best I’ve ever had! They are super thin and crispy!”

“In addition to the awesome pizza & subs-there’s a huge selection of salads! The wings at Benito’s are amazing, with several flavors to choose from. Also, the mostaccioli (w/meat sauce & parm/mozzarella cheese) is Incredible. You can even order cannoli here. Love the staff at Benito’s! 😊”

“The cheesesteak with Mayo, onions, mushrooms and banana peppers on multigrain bread was dynamite 🧨
That bread is so good, nice and toasty and flavorful.”

“5 Stars because, as a fellow small business owner, I know how important reviews are. I also understand how difficult it can be to find good employees. My juice was fabulous. However, dear business owner, I am not impressed with the 2 young ladies running your shop as I write this review. I placed my order online and received an auto responder telling me that my two juices would be ready in 20 minutes. A fairly long wait but I ran another errand and arrived at your store 25 minutes later to pick up my order. The two young ladies who were sitting around with no customers in the store had not even noticed that an order had been placed. So, I had to wait even longer while they prepared my order. They were reasonably efficient at making my juices. Nonetheless, it was not the quick in-and-out experience that one would hope for.”

“I have been getting lunch (usually takeout) from this place for about 5 years. They have had the same staff the entire time - great service - truly good , caring human beings! The food is wonderful, especially the falafel sandwich and falafel bowls! Deserts are great too!”

“This jetts location is hands down my favorite spot to order from. They are always super friendly and on time with the order even if they're busy. But that's what makes this place, amazing food and definitely worth the wait every time! Also the employees at this location definitely deserve a raise!”

“Jp is a awesome waitress full of joy an smiles thanks for always making breakfast so pleasurable”

“I ordered a portobello mushroom burger and added onions. It was fantastic. I am not a fan of crinkle cut fries, so I was dismayed to see that style there. SURPRISE- they were actually quite delicious. The team members were nice and efficient.”

“if you're coming there for cocktails, it's great. Food, eh. French onion soup had no onions, and was just onion broth with cheese. Fries were cold and weren't remotely warm. Hoagie was good.”

“My husband and I stopped here to eat after trying and realizing Texas Roadhouse was closed until 3pm and it was around 1pm when we happen to be in the area. Very tasty food and we LOVED the strawberry shortcake shake we ordered to go. Definitely a place to check out. Very nice and friendly staff.”

“From the UP… First time here! Great service and great food, A+++++ Ali, Jadyn and the rest of the staff were fast and took care of us! Definitely will make Driftwood Bar and Grill the place to go when traveling!”

“Loved this place! Food was ready and all the staff were very nice and friendly! Definitely recommend this location!”

“Great service would do again💗”

“The most friendliest and best waitress hands down! Megan made the experience topnotch!”

“Lilly was a good server. the food was amazing, huge portions, very affordable”

“Food was excellent, drinks were cold and the waitstaff was phenomenal!! Definitely will be back.”

“I live about 3 hours away, but whenever I’m in Novi, I always stop by and grab some cupcakes! They are absolutely amazing! They’re a tad bit expensive, but they are worth it!”

“They offered a few different meats a few different ways. Just meat, sandwiches, or as combos with side offerings. The meat prices didn't seem too awful, but $3.50 for a small bag of Lay's potato chips is a bit much for a side. I ordered chicken yum. My husband, the brisket, amazing flavor! If in the area again, we would go back! I am gluten-free and on a low fodmap diet. I could eat here and satisfy my tastebuds.”

“Truly adore this place. Very good coffee and tea😘”

“Best Chinese Restaurant. They are so friendly, and actually know my food order! They are amazing! Great food as well!”

“These are without a doubt the best turkey burgers I've ever tasted! I tried the spinach/feta cheese version, and it had just the right amount of seasoning and it was soooo flavorful! Can't wait to try the red bell pepper/garlic and mushroom-onion versions, too! The owner Maggie is very friendly and treats her customers great!”

“Okay, overall. Revisited this place after many years. So my review is based on my previous many visits here.

Food was good. But felt the minestrone soup kind of lacked the taste. Then the main course which had basil pesto mentioned in it however on the plate it was more of a topping. Felt it missed the generous amount usually they gave earlier. Also saw that they removed the pesto sauce from the "create your own pasta". Earlier the breads always arrived much before the soup did, but this time they came much later (not good). Also it used to be 5 in the basket but now we got only 3!!

Our waiter was fine. He was polite and courteous. We had a wait of about 10 mins and I observed that there were many booths free, perhaps less staff available today..

Vegetarian options: Eggplant parmigiana, minestrone soup, build your own pasta etc.”

“Amazing food, amazing people, amazing atmosphere!!! Highly recommend!!!”

“The best Indian food experience in a fast food restaurant style. Choose from food bowls with the protein and veggies of your choice (or) Choose from the menu. We went for the items in the menu. Food portions were just size and so is the price. We enjoyed every bit of it.”

“staff is so friendly and the food is soo good”

“New owners go by the recipe. Teas are not filled with kool aid & other unnecessary ingredients that make the tea “heavy”. I appreciate their honesty when it comes to calories, health benefits, and suggestions. The best shake flavors in town. Friendly staff. Thank you!”

“It's $7 for a smoothie at a mall food court, you kind of have to know what you're getting yourself into at this point. I did enjoy my smoothie (I think I had the pina colada flavor) so overall this was a positive experience. I also asked for a cup of water, but they were unable to provide that. I generally enjoy smoothies and this was no exception.”

“Fast service, best Fraps ever 😊”

“Did a large catering order, and Owen at the Novi location was polite, helpful, and everything was organized with nothing wrong or missing. 10/10 would recommend you go check them out if you havent! Also, food was warm and tasty!”

“Really tasty ramen, ice cream, and bubble tea! Staff is very nice, and you can even order on a touch screen if you're too shy to talk to people. Good place to stop by if you're at the mall and need a drink or something to eat.”

“Simply a great selection of sugar-free flavors. I purchased a raspberry caramel sugar-free latte made with soy and it might have been one of the best tasting lattes I've ever had. Service was very friendly and fast. I would like recommend going here for your beverage needs.”

“Outstanding. Good food and good service”

“Thanks for making my subs unassembled so I could take them across the state, my family enjoyed them!”

“I had to post a review for two young gentlemen, who are normally on the Saturday schedule Connor & Marco. They Make a great tag team! Marco Always remembers our order, and Connor is consistent with the upbeat Energy, moving the line along and making sure the portions are supportive to muscle growth for protein needs. Advice: For Panda Corp, keep the tofu dish, ready all day.”

“I can't say enough great things about Picasso Deli! I moved away from the Novi area ten years ago. When I find myself back in town I always need to stop in and grab a chicken salad tweener! The staff is always friendly, this is a great lunch spot not to be missed!”

“We love their almond boneless chicken. KaHing is our go to Chinese restaurant. They're always nice the prices are reasonable for the ABC. Portion sizes are huge, the restaurant is clean and well maintained. We’ve been customers for well over 20 years.”

“The best thia food! The best friendly service! Highly recommend.”

“Super fun interior with games and delicious tea, fruit, and coffee based drinks which includes bubble tea and lattes. They have almond milk as an alternative milk too. I had their hokkaido coffee latte with the almond milk which was super delicious! Love this place! :)”

“Best staff, coffee and donuts!!!❤️”

“"Turmerican Vegetarian Cuisine's Paneer Tikka Masala is a delight for the senses! The tender paneer and rich sauce make for a dish that is both comforting and flavorful. Five stars for this culinary gem!"""”
