“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 saw mostly positive reviews and a few negative ones and I can say from my experience, the negative reviews are just crazy people who don't get it. Food was great, service was great, felt like I was back in Japan.
Only demerit I can think of is that it was a tad expensive. I guess that's my fault for eating so much food 😆. Additionally, I asked for a whiskey highball and it was $15.50!!! I hope they used Yamazaki 18 year! Nomihodai in Japan is the same price. Enjoy highballs if you have deep pockets!”

“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!!!”
“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.”

“Tried Nagomi Japanese Restaurant for the first time and it was a nice experience! Since it was my first visit, it felt a little confusing to choose from the menu, especially because some vegetarian dishes were unavailable.But the dish I ordered turned out to be so good! The noodles were flavorful, perfectly cooked, and loaded with fresh vegetables. The taste was really satisfying and comforting.
Overall, I truly enjoyed the food and would love to visit again to try more options. Definitely recommended if you want to explore Japanese cuisine 😊🥰😍”
“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!”
“So happy to have a Japanese bakery relatively close to home. They have a great daily selection of pastries from sweet to savory to choose from. The staff has always been extremely kind every time we’ve stopped in as well. I just wish I lived closer to frequent there more often! 🤎🤎🤎”

“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!”
“They were very gracious and opened up a table for us when we didn’t have a reservation. Enjoyed the live music, and was impressed with the extensive beer list.”
“Great food, amazing service, great building and atmosphere, attention to detail, but they could turn the heat up, I kept my coat on the entire time we dined because it was so cold.”
Online Reservation Available
“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”
“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.”
“No andes mints anymore? I didn't ask but it's been a long time and I thought you got little chocolate mints with your check. But we had to use an electronic kiosk to pay so maybe that's why. Anyways server called a dish by the wrong name so we sent it back but then it turns out it was the right dish all along, I asked for a new napkin cause I spilled sauce on my sweater and I never got a napkin... But otherwise I love olive garden food and our waiter was very nice! I would still eat here and recommend it 👍🏼”
“Yes and No. Dinner here while at the hotel. My husband’s Alfredo was great. My braised short rib risotto was good, but the risotto part was way too salty and the chunks of mushrooms were extremely tough. We also had a cheese board that contained two (was supposed to be three) boring cheeses in tiny chunks, so hardly a cheeseboard two people could share. Also had super spicy chutney (yikes), a spicy mustard and some sliced baguette and hard crackers. Not much to it that was quality or would help a hungry visitor.”
“Brentwood Grille is Novi’s hidden gem—elegant, welcoming, and consistently delicious. Classic favorites with a fresh twist, perfect for a memorable night out. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

“This place is the gem of Novi. It doesn’t get any cheaper than this too. Unfortunate that you can’t sit in anymore and wish they were open for more hours, but staff are very sweet. If you love nigiri the salmon is incredible for $2. Udon is homey and just feels right.”
“Very warm and cozy, the food is some of the best I've had in the area. I recommend it to anyone new to the area who wants to try a mom and pop type of breakfast. The waitstaff was more than welcoming and seem to be very immersed in their community which adds to the welcoming atmosphere!”

“It was My 48 Bday 10/20 and I was indecisive and decided at the last minute to celebrate at your location It was My first time as well as my family that celebrated with me first time Our sever Brodie was great❣️her attitude & personality and customer service made it even better also My Mom is from Seoul Korea I grew up off this good my whole life and it was My first Korean style bday I will definitely be back and recommend it anyone also the service was fast and the place was clean and we had plenty of space the experience itself was one to remember for my 48 bday Thank you Brodie❣️My sever & Kpot Bbq for the great time see you soon”

“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!”
“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!”
“There must be a different Royal Wall than we went to for dinner tonight. The place was DIRTY and didn't look like it had been cleaned or the floors swept at all this year. The prices were a tad high for the quantity. The quality was just okay, but I would NEVER go there again. Beware of these reviews. They're probably from the workers there...or the owners.”
“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”
“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.”

“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”

“Love this place! I get lunch here all the time. The rice bowls are the best, you gotta get the raisins and almonds! The food feels healthy and hearty. The staff is so warm and friendly! They have a good loyalty program too. I wasn't a huge fan of the recently-added curry bowl, but I appreciate them trying something new. OH the fire fries, can't forget those! They toss fries with sauce and feta and goodness. It's definitely not a healthy option but boy, does it hit the spot. Now I really want a pitaway bowl...”
“We loved the food from here! I have to mention this is a take-out only restaurant so do not expect fancy tables.
Yet, staff is very friendly, they even gave us some free fortune cookies.
My wife also loved the food, and even my picky eater 5yo loved the rice with shrimp.”
“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!”
“This is hands-down one of my favorite coffee shops in metro Detroit! What started as a Caribou Coffee chain years ago was saved by a group of No.VI dads who couldn’t bear to lose their go-to coffee spot. They took it over, but let’s be real—running a food business isn’t a walk in the park.
Enter the most incredible couple who bought the place and transformed it into something truly special.
The owner, hailing from Puerto Rico where her family runs a similar business, has poured heart and soul into this spot. It’s now the coziest, most welcoming place you’ll find.
No judgmental hipster baristas here—just a genuinely kind and awesome staff who make you feel right at home. They bring their diverse backgrounds to the table, offering unique treats like Banh Mi sandwiches and Dora-Yaki alongside killer pastries.
Foodie Pro tip: If you spot quesitos or churros, grab them fast—they’re absolutely perfect pastries and sell out quick!
I’m obsessed with their in-house roasted beans, especially the espresso roast that I snag for my at-home brews.
Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee and pastry or settling in for work or a great convo with a friend, this place is perfect. It’s a true gem that’s worth every visit!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Love the place. Simply can’t wait to Revisit !! This is a wonderful spot for friends and family.”
“Amazing food, amazing people, amazing atmosphere!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Very good food. Whenever I come to this place it is amazing. Tomato soup is spot on and I highly recommend it, and the Mac and cheese is amazing. I cannot wait to come back again. Ten out of Ten.”
“Was here for a school skating competition (Bus Driver). The staff is superb and the Bacon Cheeseburger is outstanding! I had it for lunch two days in a row. Thank you again for EVERYTHING! Your staff went above and beyond to care for me!”

“I don’t know what they did in the last couple of months but the food comes out hot and presentation is even better… the service has been more consistent… and we always see a manager in the dining room… keep it up IHOP Novi… I know this location will be a hot spot again in no time!!”

“The selection is amazing and the food here is all soooo good!! I had the delicious Tiramisu latte and took multiple pastries to go. All of the bread is so flaky and delicious. You really can't go wrong with what you order here, where it's a croissant, a donut, a baguette, etc. I loved my strawberry smoothie as well.”
“Food and drink was delicious! My fiance and I tried the curry donut, the strawberry lemon croissant, the breakfast croissant, the mochi donut, and the rice with red bean donut.
The croissants were so soft, not dry at at all which impressed me a lot. I have had previous bad impressions of croissants so I never want them, but this changed my perspective entirely! So soft, a little chewy, with a great flake!
The mochi donut and rice donut were so chewy and fun to eat while tasting absolutely amazing - I love how dense they are while still feeling light.
The curry donut was so soft and fluffy and the crisp on the outside was immaculate. Incredible!
The gochujang lemonade wasn't spicy at all and tasted delicious, the perfect amount of tang. The barista helped me choose a caramel frappe and it was delectable.
I'm seriously sooo impressed with this place. Super welcoming of my service dog as well. Definitely will be back!”
“Opening day of brand new Culver’s in Novi. Restaurant beautiful and spotless. Greeted and welcomed immediately upon entering. Made to order single cheeseburger basket (cheeseburger, fries and drink) at unbelievable price. Lunch served hot, fresh and just right. Associates friendly, management visible plus interacts with guests. Join rewards and receive awesome food perks. Fill out survey receive free single delicious custard dish or cake cone. No other burger chain in Michigan can compare or measure up to Culver’s. Simply amazing. Thank you…
Introduced my friend (Gayla) to Novi Culver’s last night. Welcomed immediately upon entering, associates pleasant and helpful. We both ordered cheeseburgers and fries, extra well done. Our meal served fresh, hot and crispy. Absolutely perfect and satisfying. We enjoyed our supper immensely. Thank you.”
“Today me and my wife visited this location here in Novi Michigan, it was her first time having cava and my 2nd.,, I would like to shout out these three employees specifically that made our experience, fabulous wonderful, and above average
Zae
Ant and
Dez
Y’all did awesome hiring these crew members. Kudos to the hiring staff as well :)”
“We arrived 20 minutes before close and couldn’t find much else open, we were traveling from out of state. Even though we showed up before closing we were greeted and treated extremely well. I would recommend this Five Guys location to anyone. The food was amazing and the associate running the register, his service was phenomenal!”
“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.”
