10. Macheko Grill

Came here for BBQ and some kimbap. They sadly informed us that they donât serve kimbap on the weekend, only during the week. Thereâs a huge colander filled with red leaf lettuce at the next table. All bbq is nicely wrapped and dressed with the red leaf lettuce. We ordered 2 spicy chicken BBQ.My husband said itâs toasty inside, the air is on, maybe low, but thereâs a lot of heat from the grills no doubt. The spicy chicken meat is yummy and has a nice kick to it. The chicken meat came with asparagus, mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and onions. We asked for some garlic to add to the grill. Their kimchi banchan is not bad, they provided potato salad, fish cake, broccoli, green onion salad. They have the purple rice here. The bbq food was good and the service was great. All staff help each other out and you can ask anyone for anything and they will gladly bring it to you or address your concerns. Great service. I see why itâs so popular and often busy here. It was beyond filling and wonderfully delicious.

Hidden around the corner from a busy pizza place, in a strip mall, is this little take out place. You can dine in though, too, in one of the 5 or so booths. Very minimalist! Typical menu, typical prices. My Moo Goo Gai Pan was a bit salty, but my 7 steamed dumplings were wonderful! My dining partner chose a tofu and veggie dish and loved it. They managed to get the edges of the tofu chunks crisp and it was in a tasty brown sauce. The cook and other staff are friendly and the food does come out fairly quickly.

I really enjoyed our lunch here. My daughter and I both had tofu dishes. Her's was homestyle with vegetables and mine, forgive me if I'm wrong was Ma No Pai (?). No matter, it was delicious. The tofu is a soft version, great sauce with just enough heat. It came with rice and I chose an egg roll. $4.99!My daughter's dish had lots of broccoli and bamboo shoots, and carrots and onions. Also very good. The lunch menu has many choices for $4.99 and she had very good egg drop soup with hers. Some crunchy won ton strips were included on the side.I would like to go back here for dinner and enjoy some meat dishes. Daughter says dinner menu is a bit more, but servings are larger. She still took some of our lunch home. We had a large pot of hot tea with lunch.Don't go here to impress a date or looking for luxury. It is what it is, and I like it! Doubt if the decor has been redone in 20 years and who cares? The food and service are good and its clean. Can't wait to go back.

Lai Lai has been here for years, but is now under new management. Recently, I went here with a large group of friends, and all of ordered something different (everyone was pleased). Lai Lai has a large menu with ample portions, all of which were nicely prepared and seasoned. Our waiter was wonderful and offered suggestions upon request. The service was quick but not rushed. Great to have this option in this part of town!

As typical of Chinese buffets, the variety is impressive. The food was hot and appetizing looking. A few demerits: the small amounts of sushi & sashimi put out at one time, The buffet includes a grill but it was so hidden I didn't discover it until I was almost finished eating. Some items were not labeled but that's part of the fun of Chinese cuisine.

Very tasty Thai food. We ate lunch around 1:15 PM and the small dining area was not busy. Wear something warm if you dine in, because the room temperature is on the cool side. Service was fairly fast for us. I would recommend you try the Pad Khee Mao with chicken. It is a flavorful dish. The medium spice is not too spicy. Mild spice equals no spice. There were a number of people coming in to pick up takeout orders during our lunch. It appears the majority of their business is takeout. Thai Thai definitely is one of the better Thai restaurants in the greater Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area.

I've been here many times. The sushi is fresh, tasty and never disappoints. But...what I like most about this place compared to other sushi restaurants is their mochi Ice Cream. The closest I've had to the authentic and cultural ice cream has been in Vegas. I highly recommend the red bean and green tea flavors!

We wanted just a light and quick meal this evening and found this restaurant 4 miles from our hotel via TripAdvisor. The exterior and entry to the restaurant and carpark were quite ordinary. The interior was similar but exceptionally spacious.During our dinner, there were only 4 other tables with customers, but the take out orders were almost continuous to the point that our order took some 5 to 10 minutes longer than we expected for the #9 Rare Beef Pho and #24 Vermicelli Bowl with Grilled Pork. We asked for no greens in the Pho and we received this exactly as ordered.Our server was friendly and worked hard to look after us, other sitting customers and the take out orders.We thought both our orders tasted very good and authentic based on our experience in similar restaurant. However, the grilled pork which were in chunky pieces were a little over-cooked and dry.

I live not too far from Hana and it's so awesome. Their food is excellent, freshly made and well priced, around $10 per plate. This is definitely meant to be family style. Get a few dishes to share. I would say this is the best Korean food I've ever had. And their small side dishes are out of this world. Go on Saturday and they have a special potato that they only serve on Saturdays. Not open on Sundays.It is family run, so if you go at dinner time, please be patient with the service. Their food is worth the wait.Suggestions: Spicy Squid (mildy spicy and a little sweet); spicy crab soup (very spicy); Korean short ribs; Japchae (clear noodles with veggies and Korean beef; can be made vegetarian); tofu in black bean sauce (vegetarian); veggie dumplings; Korean pork chops

I went here with my son & family- they had heard about it but hadn't been there yet. We must've gotten there just in time as it got real busy with people waiting to be seated. I thought the noodle dish was just okay. The scallion pancakes were very good and my grandsons liked the pork & leek dumplings. Service was a bit sketchy- I got my noodle dish before we got our appetizer. Not sure if I would go again.
