12 Best Bars in Novi

“This was a reserved table for a birthday party with 8 adults and 2 children. The waitress, Alyssa, could not have been more welcoming and helpful when we arrived. The table was ready when we got there. We had balloons and gifts and a large cake which she promptly put away until we were ready. At the appointed time she furnished the cake, plates and additional forks. Alyssa was extremely helpful. The food was excellent. She was very attentive even though she had other tables to serve. It was a busy night. Our request for separate checks was accommodated without hesitation. In fact, she may have suggested it. We all agreed we would come back here for any occasion.“

“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.“

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

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

“Really good place and good food“

“Had a pizza & salad carry out from the Novi location around lunchtime today (2/17/25) and the pizza was SO GOOD! I mean, it’s always great, but today it tasted unusually scrumptious! Thanks, Buddy’s.“

“Was there for the first time last night with my husband, sister-in-law and brother-in-law and it was incredible!! Our server, Caesar was the best!“

“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“

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

“Really yummy Margaritas!!!“

“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.“

“Always an easy late stop for an end cap or a quick beer, plenty of bar space and area to sit with someone or a small party. I would call ahead incase for large parties but I am sure they can accommodate generally. Cute staff but make sure to grab someone while you have their attention. They can get busy at times but good service.“
