Restaurants in Ypsilanti

“The Italian was a mighty punch full of taste. I'll definitely be back”

“I was there with 4 dear friends for our annual holiday get together. The staff member who waited on us was warm, patient and welcoming. Pizza and salad were delicious for certain. We are all very glad we chose King & Co. A festive, memorable time was had by all”

“During our 6 month stay in the Saline, MI area, Sushi Dabu was easily the best and our favorite restaurant to eat at. The couple that own/ operate the restaurant are so amazing, wonderful, professional, and extremely friendly. They made us feel as though we all had been friends for years. I lived in Okinawa and visited Korea a lot over the years and can very honestly and confidently say their food is easily comparable to the amazing local foods I ate while in those beautiful countries. Thank you so much for being such welcoming hosts and please know, if/ when we can back to Michigan, we Will be coming by to say hi and enjoy your amazing cuisine.”

“first time enjoying this restaurant! great food and Darren was amazing and very helpful with the new experience! 💯💯💯💯”

“very delicious and excellent presentation on the food, chef and team are very professional and full of skills. Whenever I'm in town I make sure I bring my family here as the atmosphere / environment is so welcoming and on top of all that freshness ..its not too hard on the wallet, GREAT FOOD FROM GREAT PEOPLE. Highly recommend”

“Best Bar and Bartenders in the area! Love Andy!”

“The food is great. The owner is so friendly .we've been coming since he opened . Highly recommended”

“Always fresh and now with brunch a great place to eat. Staff is great and personable.”

“The best Louisiana fish sandwich and burgers around. The service is always top notch and the atmosphere is a nice chill vibe. Support this local Ypsi, MI spot for sure.”

“the most consistent and amazing sushi place i have ever been to. whether it’s delivery, pick up, or dine in, i am always blown away. i recently got my coworkers to order from there and they were praising it for the rest of the week.”

“Very yummy and delicious. The chocolate chuck cookie is my favorite”

“Can’t believe I drove by this place for so long without realizing what it was. Seriously best BBQ I have had in Southeast MI. Literally everything we had off the menu was amazing. Mac and Cheese along with the brisket was the best I think I’ve ever had anywhere. The quantities are smaller but prices are decent. It’s definitely not the classic pile of meat on a cafeteria tray style BBQ, but the flavor makes up for it. The vibes inside were awesome, dark speakeasy with exposed brick walls and low couches. Great cocktails and large selection of Shorts beer.”

“Our puppers had gone to a different play place but since coming to Dogtopia, he is more relaxed, and very happy. He is so excited to go to Dogtopia. When we ask him if he wants to go play with his friends his ears perk up, and he’s no longer droopy. I am also grateful to the staff, they have alerted us to a couple of medical things (left in staple), and are very caring about all the doggies. We love their special events too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“My family and I ate here Friday night. The 45 minute drive was well worth it! The food here is AMAZING!”

“Tasty beers in a cool space. Staff is friendly and happy to serve. Nice variety of food as well. We were there last for a private event and they did a great job of keeping up with our needs.”

“We go here every week. The best Sichuan place in Michigan (and probably in the Midwest).

We miss here even when we are traveling out of state!”

“I have eaten at China Palace many times. One time a tour bus from Montreal going to Chicago was there and it's not that clear to I94! They heard it was special and should stop and I second that emotion. The food is authentic Chinese and the service is always great. One of the most genuine authentic Chinese food in the area.”

“Amazing menu. Very unique recipes. Try the potato hot honey pizza!”

“First time at this establishment and I was pleasantly surprised. “The best combination of food, service and atmosphere that I’ve experienced in a very long time”. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ‼️”

“Great place with awesome crafters. Every cocktail I’ve had had been spot on fantastic.”

“10/10 hands down the best dogs around and the service is great”

“Jannath is the nicest employee that works, in the Ypsilanti store she always greet you with a smile?”

“Yum!! 😍 I had my first one yesterday! I will definitely stop & get a cheese steak when I'm in the area! Kinda lucky that I work in that area a few times a week 😎 I highly recommend you try one if you have a thing for cheese steaks ❤️”

“Everything we have had at Spice Palace is fantastic. The flavors and freshness of their curries and other dishes are a delight. Their samosas are perfection. We have dined in a bit, but mostly ordered out (too many times to estimate) and it’s consistently great food.”

“great food, great service, great customers, great atmosphere.”

“My Husband and I accidentally came across this gem of a Burger 🍔 place. So happy we did!!! I’ve always said if you don’t need two napkins for your burger, it’s not worth it… I needed four! My brioche bun was toasted perfectly and the seasoning and juiciness of the burger was perfection. And you MUST not forget the seasoned fries - out of this world!!! Frank, you are incredible!!! My Husband and I will definitely be traveling from Toledo just for you and your crew! See you soon and thank you for such an amazing meal!”

“We were driving from Detroit to Holland and were looking for a good pizza place to try. The new Farmington location did not disappoint. Their customer service is top notch and the food is even better. The crust is so crispy and flavorful! You are doing yourself a disservice, if you don’t stop here. Take home a piece of the cheesecake as well! We will be stopping each time we are headed to the East side of the State. Thanks for a great dinner tonight!”

“I stopped here twice during the weekend of Astronomicon, it was that good. The staff was very friendly, and even remembered my name after one visit! The coney sauce is so f’n good. Honestly can’t wait until I’m back in the area to try more.”

“I’ve been faithfully spending money with Lazeez for the past year their meats are always cooked perfectly and the toppings are always fresh . I recommend the guys to everyone. I love the healthy options it’s a place I and my Vegetarian sister can eat together 💚”

“Great food and friendly service!”

“Great coffee! Like both locations!”

“My favorite shop in Ypsi! The staff is always so friendly, warm and welcoming, the coffee is exceptional. Whether you’re looking to meet up with some friends, or set up and work for a couple of hours”

“Excelente servicio y deliciosa comidita”

“Started eating at Roy squeeze van in the early 60s when is on the corner of Prospect and Michigan Avenue next to the gas station before the gas Station was built Go to the Ypsi library on Whittaker R”

“This evening, my daughter and I enjoyed a terrific meal and exceptional service. Our server, Laura, anticipated our wants and needs without any asking on our part. She was attentive and friendly. We also made a to-do order and it was delivered smoothly.”

“I had a turkey sausage, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich. It was toasty and warm and flavorful. My iced raspberry mocha with oat milk was perfectly made and really hit the spot! The owner was so kind and helpful and even let me know they have curbside service. I will be going back again very soon!”

“best vegetarian meal in the town”

“Tried Casablanca for the first time today.....SO YUMMY! We don't live near Ypsi, but we WILL be back.”

“Best pizza ever”

“As someone who’s Hispanic and grew up in California, I’ve had a lot of authentic Mexican food over the years. After living in Ohio for the past five years, it’s been hard to find something that truly compares — until I tried Miny’s in Michigan.

The quality for the price is unbeatable. The flavors are bold, authentic, and clearly made with care. The textures are spot on, from the tortillas to the fillings, and everything tastes fresh.

The carne asada tacos are more than worth the price, and the guacamole is fresh — easily better than Chipotle. These are hands down the best tacos I’ve had since living in the Midwest, and they genuinely reminded me of the spots back home in California.

If you care about real Mexican food and not just “Mexican-inspired,” this place is absolutely worth the trip. I’ll definitely be back.

P.S. I went back inside and put in an order to eat when I get back to Toledo and the lady at the counter remembered my name”

“Just had our first order from Issa’s Pizza due to the article on MLive. We tried the Jamaican Jerk pizza and the cheezy bread. The dough is amazing. Service was fast and kind. Will try again.”

“Some of the best Shawarma I’ve had! So good”

“The food is fantastic—everything from the greens and onion rings to the okra and homemade desserts. The place has a cozy, welcoming vibe, the bathrooms are clean, and the staff is genuinely kind and friendly. It’s the perfect spot for some hearty comfort food, especially during the colder months.”

“Very cute and homey mom and pop restaurant with exquisite food and service :) we ordered the Red Sniper, Tilapia, Lamb Michoui, Maffe peanut butter stew, the Dibi, and Fatayas to share. All of the food was cooked excellently and was absolutely delicious! The lamb was my favorite but both fish were tasty and unique in their own rights with an excellent char. The staff we interacted with were extremely helpful answering our questions and I’d recommend anyone who hasn’t tried Khadi’s yet to swing by and give it a go!”

“A beautiful accident finding this place. Stellar music awesome crowd and excellent service. I will definitely be back!”

“Incredible food at good prices! A must try!”

“great food and great service”

“Apple tea cake is very tasty”

“love this place! Love Miss Becky too 🫶🏼 Best burgers 🍔 fries 🍟 and chili 🌶 in town!! 😋😉❤️‍🔥”

“Had the best club sandwich!”

“Everything is fresh and made to order. The offerings are unusual--and delicious! The tortillas are pillowy light and not greasy. Try the combo platter to get the full picture of this excellent place. Everything is enhanced by interesting sauces and relishes. We are so lucky to have you in downtown Ypsi!”

“fAntastic spot! great everything. comedy night rules!”

“We had Dos Hermanos cater a party for 40 people and the food was excellent! All of our guests were raving about how great the tacos and chips were. We couldn’t be more pleased with the flavor, quality, prices and prompt service we received from Dos Hermanos. Fully recommend!”

“I walked in and noticed a clean, calm, pleasant atmosphere. I was greeted by the very cheerful Audrey. She recommended the stir fry and took my order. I went with the Chili Jam Stir Fry. I was excellent. The flavors were balanced and delicious (I got mine with chicken ). I Wiil definitely be back when I return to Ypsilanti!”

“Soooo delicious-- we dined in. I had a broccoli dish upgraded to noodles with an egg on top. The staff might seem abrupt but are so considerate, anticipating a need before I even asked. We will definitely return”

“Thank you for the special birthday surprise for our girl tonight! The kids just love coming here and you couldn’t find nicer people to dine with! ❤️”

“This is literally the best Mexican food in the area and rivals anything you will find in Southwest Detroit. The lengue is outstanding along with the birria and the carne asada. Don’t forget the extra salsa verde !”

“Absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic. Soo glad you are open on weekends again. Ordered the Gumbo soooo good and the catfish bites. Also ordered the vegetarian platter the mac and cheese is amazing and the candied yams and okra are fabulous. Highly recommend we will definitely be back.”

“well I've never gotten a chicken quesadilla like this before.... cheese and chicken on a flour tortilla and that's it not heated up not grilled nothing.... posted 2 pics. pretty rude when I called but what do you expect nowadays”

“I asked for the best coffee I ever had, and Indeed they gave me one, thank you. Also thank you for the Dubai Chocolate cup♥️❤️”

“Their appetizers are amazing. Lots of fun Wednesday nights, family friendly bingo famous drag queen Jadein Black. Nachos are amazing.”

“I LOVE this place. As a public servant, I often eat here as it is right down the road from Joe's. They are ALWAYS friendly, ALWAYS accommodate if I want to try something unusual (although I usually order the chicken Schwarma extra sauce....can't go wrong!!) and once a couple years back I had paid for my food and got called out for an emergency & someone came running out to the parking lot and vaulted my Schwarma through my ambulance window. I am a customer for life. ♥️”

“Tried this at Eastern Market and loved it! My boyfriend who normally doesn’t like juices loved what he got as well! Thanks so much!”

“The fried chicken is amazing. 🍗”

“Great staff, very nice patrons. One of my happy places.”

“Tacos El Panda came to our work event today and everyone is still raving about the food, it was excellent and we definitely plan to call them in the future for our events! Highly recommend!”

“Great times! Good music!!”

“Best baristas and coffee around! The staff is always super duper friendly and kind—like they are happy you are there. That makes a difference! Coffee is always yummy and made correctly to order. Our family favorite by far!”

“Im upset of not finding this place sooner! Amazing tasty food! The grape leaves rolls are from another world🙏❤️”

“Never been here until today. Not the best chicken tacos I had but they are really good. I’ll definitely be back to try more and the young man working was very friendly.”

“Me encantan los tamales. Loving the tamales.”

“Cake looked gorgeous. Details were phenomenal. Cake was flavorful and moist. I like frosting so would have been happy with a thicker application but it was delicious nonetheless. Cake was not ready at original agreed upon pickup time but like a responsible, customer-service mindset business owner, Cynthia made arrangements to deliver the cake to our location with no additional charge. Big props for that!”

“Absolute hidden gem! Food is always excellent with generous portions. The house-made naan is worth the visit alone. Staff are so welcoming and always ready with a suggestion for those looking to try something new!”

“First time here today for TAKE OUT and I will say it was a great experience. Easy parking lot to navigate, perfectly packaged food with all the condiments you could want. The waiter was so friendly! I had the mushroom/feta omelette (came with wheat toast AND it was packaged so nicely it was still REAL toast when I got home 😍) and blueberry pancakes! 10/10 Added a slice of strawberry cheesecake from their dessert case (I’m easily convinced 😅) 10/10! I’ll be back! I can’t believe it took me 6 years to give you guys a try!!”

“Best Mexican Food I've had in Michigan - (and would be happy to find this place anywhere) - Genuine tacos with onion, cilantro, and lime are very good - Enchiladas great - Sopes amazing -burritos amazing.”

“I had a really delightful time at this establishment. It was rather busy this evening but I was graced by a beautiful young lady named Ari. She was so polite, on point with my food and very friendly. I think Id like her to be my server every time I come in. Great job Ari..!”

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere and service were excellent! We will be back.”

“Nice little spot to get work done or just enjoy some coffee. Plenty of gluten free and even vegan baked good/ food options. They also have a small list of refreshing mocktails.”

“We had brunch at Tikalito today and everything was fantastic! I had the huevos rancheros - the best I’ve had since I lived in L.A. twenty-plus years ago. My wife had a chicken tamale and it too was out of this world - the masa was thick and flavorful. And the refried beans… a hint of cocoa, flavored with molé, maybe? Super friendly service too. Everyone seemed genuinely grateful Check them out, ASAP! You’ll be super glad you did.”

“Nu wave is always good comfort food !”

“Food & Drinks. Good Atmosphere”

“43 for a hot sub 13 for a cold one”

“Well run, nice setting, friendly place. Great food, low cost. Pool tables, darts, and all sorts of other activities. Really enjoy it. Excellent burgers and brew.”

“I enjoy it.?”

“First time stopping in and grabbed a grilled chicken bánh mì on my way to work. I will certainly be stopping by much more frequently after how delicious the flavorful the bánh mì was!”

“Great customer service!! Carrot cake was amazing but cannoli was a little too crunchy. Although the cashier highly recommended the cannoli cake and the Reese’s pie.”

“Nice classic grilled. Food is amazing and staff is always friendly.”

“Love this little gem. Visiting town from Utah...want one in Utah now.”

“Ordered through Doordash at 10PM on Christmas evening! What a lifesaver. Dark meat chicken is so good. Lightly breaded (if any breading at all). The skin is very crispy and tasty. Ate it with pickled jalapeno and fried pickles. Reasonable price.”

“Best pizza in Ypsi and it's not close.”

“We went to India Cafe recently and we had a marvelous time! The waiter that served us was very kind and the food was exceptional. My family and I agree on one thing: This is by far the best Indian cuisine that you can get in the Ann Arbor area.”

“this has been my fish place every since they first open haved recommended it to friends and relatives and they have not been disappointed. Bill B”

“Lucky Garden has been a staple in Ypsilanti. Sometimes over looked because it’s north of EMU campus. The best Chinese food in Ypsilanti and with the new ownership it’s somehow gotten even better. Some of my favorites are Hunan Chicken, Beef Lo Mein, Crab Rangoons, and the Won Ton Soup is great.”

“Tammy is very professional, communicative and designed some fabulous custom cookies for a family party on short notice!”

“is Powell's shut down because someone told me y'all were”

“For the most part everything is good. A few times I have received subpar orders.
Their responses to the reviews seem to defer away from being responsible for negative reviews.”

“Pool tables, darts, pinball. Cheap drinks. Trivia night, karaoke 2x a week”

“Great experience today!! We went in this evening around 6pm. We were seated really quickly, food came out quickly as well. Our server Savannah was doing great tonight. The GM Drew was providing excellent management as evidenced by observing Savannah and the other servers bustling around and providing great experiences for the guests. Some of my family members had burgers and chicken, I had a veggie burger. One family member really enjoyed the presentation of those cinnamon donut things. Everything was really nice, from walking in, to eating, restrooms were well cleaned. Thanks Red Robin and staff!!”

“Stopped in for lunch yesterday was craving some good pizza. They had an excellent lunch buffet 12.99 all you can eat. The best pizza was the fungi pizza and the chicken bacon ranch pizza. They also had a full salad bar. The pizza was very tasty the salad was fresh. The bar tender was friendly and helpful. The pizza was excellent. Definitely give this place a try.”

“Great salsa! Great chimichanga!
Yummy, yummy, yummy.
The guy at the front could be friendlier but that's how these young lefties are nowadays.”

“Dos Fuentes is the best full service Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. People always talk about Maíz when they think of a Mexican restaurant in Ypsilanti, but they do not hold a candle to Dos Fuentes. The birrias tacos here are the best I have ever had. Go here!”

“The best taco truck around.”

“Had an iced rose matcha today while visiting bridge community cafe for the first time and I LOVE this place. The space is so welcoming and community centered and their coffees and teas are just downright incredible. I think I’ve found my new favorite cafe 💜”

“I am not affiliated with this restaurant bar, we just happen to share the same name, lol.

Great food, methinks. Good prices. Tasty drinks with a large selection too. Food and drink ordering is via digital stations, which is weirdly better. No hassle. Futuristic even.

Lots to do. Plenty of places to sit upstairs or down. It is Loud. The loudest place. Upstairs it's slightly less loud. And there's a pool table that's usually free and many arcade games and pinball too.

Good service as well, but they are usually quite under-staffed. Employees are polite and seem to keep their cool even when they're swamped.

Drinks come out right away usually, and the kitchen is surprisingly quick. I have tried the nachos, fries, traditional wings, two types of burgers and a few other things. Never once had a problem, darn good food, especially for a kid's arcade slash bar grill.”

“A great place to go the staff is amazing I love to learn more about the teas and shakes the nutrition part which staff is always available to give answers”

“Their customer service was awesome AK was incredibly friendly and appears to enjoy his job this is definitely the better cinnabon we've been to in Ann arbor!”

“This place change management was for the best, they are so friendly and nice. they always welcome us with a smile.
It is our go-to for many things besides ice cream. The cheese curds are to die for. The burgers are simply delicious, and of course, the Ice cream is always the best.”

“Peanutbutter shake is OFS. will be back for biology fries”

“I love Steak and Shake, but I order Cheeseburgers and get freaking Hamburgers but pay for Cheese! You can’t eat in the restaurant! I wish I could leave a 1 ⭐️ on not getting their orders right!”

“Facili3st were bright and clean, the employees were friendly and helpful, the service was very quick even though it was *packed* midday, and the food was delicious.”

“My children, 11 and 7 and myself stopped in for dinner. My husband was in the hospital. The kids and I needed real food.
The place was decorated for Christmas already. Super cute.
Literally no wait for a table. The hostess asked if we wanted a booth or a table. Which was nice, not a normal question I’ve been asked before.
Our server, Kharmein, was an absolute delight. I will come back just for her.!!! I even told her that.
She was great with my kids and made me feel better after the horrible day I’ve had. She was very tentative, patient and compassionate!!”

“The Chicken Tenders were so good and the fries were everyone's favorite. The order was on time, nice and hot.”

“I've eaten takeout from here a few times and it is so delicious. Especially the guac. But I wish they had more vegetarian options, I'd love to order a rice and bean burrito or a veggie chimichanga.”

“Nu wave is always good comfort food !”

“Best pizza in Ypsi and it's not close.”

“The house crafted beer is pretty good. I think is a good place to go with big parties since the price is fair and the pizza is big and we'll served. I tried 2 of them 1 was regular and the honey pepperoni was the good one.

Service is very good. Some pizzas are better than other ones. Somehow the people that was there made me feel uncomfortable since I was talking in Spanish... but the restaurant cannot control that.”

“My sick partner and i ordered out of convenience but were very surprised! the employees were kind enough to seperate the broth from the noodles so nothing got soggy. huge portions and great prices. could use some more seasoning sometimes but that is my only complaint.”

“This Leo’s is outstanding. They serve the best special selections with both Mediterranean and American twists. We had a Gallaba plate and a Smashed Burger. The Gallaba was a unique combination of stir fry beef, vegetables on hummus and pita. The creamy garlic and sour flavors of the hummus contrast nicely with the stir-fry to create an irresistible mixture to dip your pita bread in. The smashed burger was also delicious, packed with flavors of the charred patties and the zip sauce! Every dining experience here has been really good and I always enjoy very much their special offers. If you want to find a great Coney Island that offers both the familiar and bolder dishes! This is it.”

“9th straight consecutive days "need i say more" I took my folks to breakfast multiple times small town type of diner with a high quality of absolutely everything on the menu, many places I'm skeptical to order oatmeal "I was highly pleased " having added it on this 9th visit this morning Thank you all for showing still great service, awesome company and smiles plentiful”

“This is our go-to Chinese food place. We’ve worked our way through most of their menu and have yet to be disappointed. The people working the counter are always so sweet too.”

“Wonderful customer service and delicious food”

“I had the wings, and they were fantastic. Update today Jan 3 2026. Had to have the wings for the last Lions game. And you just don't realize how crappy the competition is until you eat Happy Wings. So good.🤙.”

“I like to order to go, I got a cold and ordered chicken pho and it was perfect for me getting better and supporting the nutrition I needed. It’s delicious 😋”

“Enjoyed amazing soul food for a very awesome price. The red beans and rice were fire!!! Also I had the sweet potato pie and wow tasted almost as good as grandmas!!!! The okra was fried perfectly and the yams omg!! I would highly recommend this place!!!”

“Great place! Food is always amazing and great service. My husband and I try and stop every time we are in town.”

“This store is remarkably better than the other taco bell in the area. The mich. Ave location should be REALLY embarrassed. Monique stands out in a group of stand outs. Jamie is the best manager”

“Big Poppa Fries are SO good! This place is definitely a must visit! Great prices with generous portions and these guys know their way around a flat top grill! I’m already thinking about what I’m gonna try next time!”

“Omg!! This place is so good!! Fresh hot food so good!! love it!! my new spot come see for your self. And nice and friendly customer service.”
