Restaurants in Novi

“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.”

“This is our new favorite middle eastern spot! We have ordered party combos several times over the last couple of months and everyone loves the food. Everything is delicious! You can’t go wrong!”

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

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

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

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

“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 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!”

“Amazing!!! 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋”

“The Best. 💯 Clean restaurant with excellent quality food. 11/11 is a must try.”

“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.”

“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”

“Really good place and good food”

“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.”

“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”

“awesome food..awesome service”

“First visit.... fabulous wonderful meal!”

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

“This was an anniversary dinner for us. Everyone acknowledged that and congratulated us. The wait staff, especially Sam, were outstanding. The food was fantastic. We were visited by no less than 3 people other than the wait staff asking if everything was to our satisfaction. That level of customer service seems unheard of any longer. It was much appreciated. We'll certainly be back.”

“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 .”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“Everything was good fast service an on point”

“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.”

“"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!"""”

“Came here for the first time. Definitely do not miss out on the meat skewers, lamb and beef are sooooo good! Well seasoned and spicy! We also got the black garlic ramen…. So good! It’s in a good spot in my option, not overcrowded and you can actually enjoy a meal and talk to who you came in with.(we dined in but you can also get it to go) It’s across from tricho. They also play r&b and it’s so chill to eat here. Highly recommend!”

“Great Sunday Brunch Menu!”

“The food was delicious and we will be back.”

“Amazing takeout spot! After making a strong comeback from COVID, this place is better than ever. The food travels well, and everything tastes just as fresh at home as it would in the restaurant. The nigiri is top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The California roll is delicious, with the perfect balance of texture and taste. The udon is packed with rich flavor, and even for takeout, the noodles keep their perfect chew.

The only downside is that there’s no dine-in option, which is a bit sad because this food deserves to be enjoyed fresh in a great atmosphere. Still, the quality and service make it absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Such a cute little Italian deli and bakery. You can find their menu online, but as soon as you hit the door and the smell hits you.. you'll want everything. Great selection of meats and cheeses along with pastas, wine and a ton of cookies! Such a treat!”

“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 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!”

“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!”

“I'm glad this place is an hour away from my house or I would weigh 1,000 lbs. Well worth the drive though. Everything we ordered came hot, fresh and tasted great. Their Corned beef is real (not from a can), my eggs were cooked perfectly, and my coffee cup was always full. Very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back.”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“This is the best Chinese food all around Novi, Walled Lake and Commerce Township! This is the only Chinese place I will eat at! The food is so fresh and always hot! And you get so much food! My favorite plate is the sesame chicken. 10/10 I always recommend this the friends and colleagues!”

“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.”

“What a refreshing change. Everyone was so friendly. Sandwich was great, freshly made and tasty. Walk over from the hospital for your lunch. Order ahead and your food will be ready when you get there.”

“Great staff and delicious food!!!”

“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”

“People talk about hole in the wall places being good; this place isn't just good, it's phenomenal. Chef Das prepared one of the best sushi experiences I've had in my life. The fatty tuna nigiri took my wife and I to an extraordinary level of happiness; we could not help but have big smiles while we ate. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our hot tea did not run out nor did my wife's water. The service was impeccable, the staff were very polite and friendly. I've seen reviews about the floors being carpeted - that is no longer the case and there is a beautiful hardwood floor. The environment was clean.
I cannot wait to revisit this gem. It will absolutely be in our rotation of special restaurants to eat at.
The biggest thank you to chef Das and the staff for this amazing experience.”

“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”

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

“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!”

“Great Food, staff and ambiance.”

“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!”

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

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

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

“Outstanding. Good food and good service”

“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 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.”

“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! ♥️♥️”

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

“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 ordered the all beef split hot dog it was cooked with LOVE and to PERFRCTION! A big Thank you Charlene - hotdog chef

Parking: Parked right in the front. Felt kike they were waiting on me”

“Legitimately the best American Chinese food I have ever had! It's just takeout so the "atmosphere" is nothing to write home about, but the service is great and the food is absolutely amazing. The chicken is always deliciously crispy, vegetables are clean and fresh, and the rice (as simple as it is) is the perfect complement to the spices and sauces that they use. I've only been here four times so far, but I'm definitely making this my go-to.”

“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!”

Thanks, Julian, for always delivering an amazing experience”
