Restaurants in Novi

“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’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.”

“Cozy and home-y; feels like I was invited to someone's house for dinner. Big menu. Fast and helpful service. Tasty food at very reasonable prices. Check hours, as they are only open for dimner hours. Will be back.”

“Really good place and good food”

“Came in on a Sunday and the place is massive, honestly had no idea it was there at first but they took care Of us and the food was solid.”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

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

“My mushroom burger was amazing! Cooked perfectly and super tasty. Staff was wonderful, helpful and karaoke night was so fun! Leaving a 4 star because the fries really need some help. Could use new recipe or something, maybe it's how they're fried I'm not sure. I didn't eat mine and my friend who ordered special fries also didn't eat hers. Other than that it was a great experience.”

“Solid place. Reasonably good sake list. Might take a couple times here to determine what is great, but there are great items. The salad. The shumai. The spicy chicken. The hamachi crudo. Those are some of my faves. But a good place, nonetheless.”

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

“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!”

Thank you for making his special day amazing and delicious.”

“Great Sunday Brunch Menu!”

“We love it here! We make special trips out the way to get the delicious and fresh food. We love the Roma tomato soup, the burger is so tender and amazing flavor from the cheddar cheese and the kalamata olive aioli is so unique and I love it even though I don’t love that version of olives.”

“Delicious pizza and the ribs were the best I have ever had. Fall off the bone. Pizza has been good and consistent. I usually order pepperoni mushroom and bacon chicken ranch.”

“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.”

“Loved my Turkish Coffee! The Breakfast Burrito was excellent, too! And to top it off, BEN is awesome!!”

“Highly recommend! First time in and won’t be my last. Best beef kafta I’ve ever had and I grew up in Dearborn. Better than La Marsa, Shish, anywhere. Kafta is tender and not overcooked. They have the food fresh baked round pita bread, not the store bought. The dressing for fattoush is soo good. My server, Rumana, was so sweet and attentive. 11/10!”

“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.”

“Delicious drinks and pastries. Love the dalgona matcha latte and the strawberry ade.”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“I was visiting Novi for the first time and had the pleasure of having breakfast here. The staff went above and beyond expectations! This place give you the feeling of being at home. Gayle is a wonderful server. And the whole staff is very welcoming.”

“Amazing! Food was stunning, staff were fabulous, so polite and friendly and helped us decide what to eat and how to cook and eat too! Cannot wait to go back and try another dish or 5! Our new favourite place to eat!”

“Incredible food. I miss getting their lunch specials.
Curry rice was fantastic.
I can't recommend this place enough.

In this day and age they don't have any online platforms to order from. Just good old phone in an order.

They are that good.”

“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!”

“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! 🤎🤎🤎”

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

“Miranda was absolutely AMAZING!!! Not only was she the best server, she also presented with the nicest and most positive attitude! I will definitely be back and I will be requesting Miranda :)”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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 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!”

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“Athenian is our families 'go to' breakfast/brunch and lunch spot. Food quality is great, fresh, and I love all of their healthy options. Our favorites are the benedicts, omelets, fresh fruit, and pitas.”

“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”

“Great staff and delicious food!!!”

“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.”

“Nice place .. service was classic... food was great with classic feel.. prices are low with fresh made food... will come back if in the area.. Great place was impressed ..”

“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!”

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

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

“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 love this shop!!! it was the first boba shop i ever went to and every time i go it seems to get better. i love their secret menu items and how frequently they have different and unique drinks to try!!”

“Amazing service!!”

“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 was my first time here and it was soooooo good. I got the queso pita. It was absolutely delicious. All fresh, made to order, and everything was clean. I’ll def be back”

“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.”

“Great Food. Gonna be my go to place from now. Love their kamo ramen, I have tried lots of kamo ramen if other places and this is my top 1.
Great Service!”

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

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

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

“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!”

“Really yummy Margaritas!!!”

“I came to the Twelve Oaks food court in the midafternoon hungry and hoping for a small bite of sustenance, pure calories to keep me going for a 4-hour drive up north. Instead what I got was an Incredible Burger, a burger so tasty and delightful that it will sustain me for not only the afternoon but perhaps the weekend”

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

“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!”

“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! 😊”

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

“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.”

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

“Do not go here.They charge you a different price if you pay with a debit card!!!!!!!!!! Who do these people think they are?A gas station....... Will tell all my friends and family not to go........”

“Great service would do again💗”

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

“The food is always so good and hot! The workers are super friendly and gave me suggestions on what to try next! Definitely recommend (South Lyon location)”

“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.”

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

“Excellent subs. Very fresh deli meats and the lettuce was crisp. They use whole strips of bacon. The bread has perfect texture with just the right amount of crunch in the crust.I had the club and I'll be going back for more ASAP. You get your money's worth here. That club sub made for two lunches.”

“"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!"""”

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

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

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

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

“First time here and the sandwich was awesome. Lots of fresh veggies and lean meats. Definitely will be returning very soon. I got the large hook and ladder and it became two excellent lunches. The bread was perfect soft inner texture with just the right amount of crispness in the crust.”

“Every time I go to SCS I get the Chocolate Covered Strawberry smoothie. It’s my favorite and I’ve only been slightly disappointed once. I’ve ordered this smoothie several times and will probably get it again when I return. Everyone, every time has treated me well AND with a smile! Thanks SCS! 4.5 Stars”

“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.”

“I rarely write reviews on food places because there is little that hasn’t been said already. But I really need to about this Jets location.

For starters, I’ve been coming here for years. Always consistently great pizza.

But today, 9-12-2025,is I ordered my usual personal BBQ chicken pizza. Whoever was working today made an actual piece of art. I opened that pizza box and I had to just sit and admire it for a moment. I don’t take pictures of my food, but this was like being transported to the louvre in France and laying your eyes on the Mona Lisa for the first time.

I was absolutely awestruck. The pizza somehow tasted better than it looked.

So yea, it was a decent pizza dining experience I guess.”

“Made the order of a large birthday cookie adhoc for same day pickup. The lady who works here was so kind and the order went through smoothly and perfectly. We're all very happy with the presentation and taste of the cookie. Will definitely come back again!”

“Delicious delicious delicious Great local owned business. Very kind and generous.”

“Everything was wonderful!!!”

“I just lo love dining here. My wife isn't as fond of it as I am but I make it here a couple of times a year. Love dipping the breadsticks into a side of Alfredo sauce!!!!”

“Best coffee/teas! Amazing breakfast options if you need something quick and equally tasty. By far the best employees; that is the absolute best part about this Biggby location. Love seeing the girls bright and early before my shift!”

“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!”

“Outstanding. Good food and good service”

“I had the pulled pork sliders with spicy sauce.....it was amazing. The bun was soft and toasted with crispy edges...the pork was flavorful and not at all dry. The spicy sauce gave it a little something extra. The sweet tea was actually sweet tea and not a mix so hats off!”

“Huge shout out to this location for exemplary service every time. The staff greets you as soon as the door opens, making it feel cozy. The staff is very knowledgeable with a lot of patience & true compassion for their customers. Keep up the amazing job each and everyone of you.”

“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.”

“Best staff, coffee and donuts!!!❤️”

“marcus helped my son and I and was very kind and patient with us even when I didn’t know the proper words or names to food here >.< thank you marcus, I also manage a store, waterford in cirillas if you would ever want to be a cashier there! just ask for me and I can get you on the schedule whenever your personality is good for people”
