You would think it wouldn't be too hard to make this dish as it's relatively simple, but I've been to three or four of the German restaurants in our area and absolutely none of them get it right, or even close to right. The proprietor is charming and engaging, and I'm so happy to support her business. The spatzel and sauerkraut were also on point. Perhaps someday they'll be able to open a walk up restaurant, but for now I will continue to support the food truck

What wonderful people with a delicious encounter! I'm in love!…read more One of the true highlights of Festing for us this year, everything we shared was spot on authentic. What a treat! We started with pretzels that were devoured literally in seconds. That required more drink. Then we were hungry again. What a cycle. The wife spoke with Jana and Sean(?) and was thoroughly impressed. Their currywurst was wonderful, the kraut, perfect and the whole experience a great joy. We would love to come back and do it again (I'm so stunned, I'm pinching myself). 10/25

The shops are cute, but small, so to be able to look around there cannot be too many people inside. At the end is the pop up bar/restaurant. We did not eat anything, just had a couple of drinks. The cocktails are in the $13-14 range and are pretty good. The bar tenders are friendly and dressed for the season. Since our timing was good, we were able to actually enjoy the decor and find seats on the leather couches (where are these stored during the year...?)

An Unforgettable Evening at Zuzu If you're looking for a…read moredining experience that checks every box -- incredible food, flawless service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere -- Zuzu in Detroit is your answer. Last night's dinner was nothing short of magnificent. We started with oysters and calamari that set the tone immediately -- fresh, expertly prepared, and beautifully presented. The shrimp was equally impressive. But the real showstoppers were the main courses: the lamb chops were cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor, and the branzino was delicate, flaky, and seasoned just right. Even the Brussels sprouts -- often an afterthought -- were a standout side that had everyone at the table talking. What truly elevated the evening was our server, Cel. His knowledge of the menu was exceptional, his recommendations were spot-on, and he went above and beyond by offering us -- a native couple and their cousins visiting from California -- genuine, thoughtful suggestions on things to do and see around Detroit. That kind of personal touch is rare and deeply appreciated. Zuzu isn't just a great Detroit restaurant -- it's a destination. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town.

The beginning of this meal was great but slowly declined as the meal went further and further…read morealong. We had a group of 6 and was seated quickly. They have a menu shortage so we all shared menus which not a big deal, but was strange and made sense why it took so long to get menus after seating. We all ordered cocktails which were very good. We all ordered a bunch of apps as well, the sushi was delicious, the spicy tuna crispy rice was also a favorite. We all ordered entrees which ended up being lack luster. The Asian pepper steak came out cold, which they did remake. The steak used seem to be trimmings of the steaks. It was very tough and fatty. If I have on piece of advice DO NOT ORDER THE TABLE SIDE FRIED RICE. It came out after we were already half way done with our meals, and it's literally on a chilis fajita skillet. They charge $36 and the portion size was maybe 1.5 cups of rice. (See picture, no one had taken any off of the plate) They dump raw egg on it that doesn't fully cook with the skillet, and the sauce on top was so gross. Overall would stop in for some drinks /apps / sushi. But would not get an entree.

The "Detroit street food" carryout counter is located inside of a gas station on Clark & Vernor in Southwest Detroit. There is signage outside, on the Clark Street side of the building. Inside the gas station, there is a sign for another food business. I thought that I was at the wrong location, but went outside and called the phone number listed on Instagram. The gentleman that answered the number, which turned out to be the gas station phone number, assured me that I was at the right place. I went back in, snapped few pics, and ordered. I wanted to try something exciting, but I wasn't sure what to get. I settled on a shrimp tempura taco and crunchy crab legs. My order totaled just shy of $30. The fried crab legs reminded me of mozzarella sticks. I only took a few bites. The snack seemed to be imitation krab. It came with seasoned fries and three different dipping sauces. It's a really kool snack item, but I don't think I'd order it again. The taco was more to my liking. It's essentially a deconstructed sushi roll. The tempura shrimp, sauces and cucumber sit on a bed of sushi rice on top of a fried wonton wrapper. It looked super cool and was very tasty. The dish was topped with crunchies. The menu is small and kitschy with fusion-style snacks. My carryout bag was packed with care and included a few Andes chocolate mints. I'll support the owner again trying other items and will share it with others.

This is a pop up shop, so review is on food only not the location…read more I've experienced them on two prior occasions and the consistency with the food is crazy!! The oxtails are a favorite of mine. The gravy that they are in is seasoned perfectly, the rice and peas (which I don't normally like anywhere else) are amazing, the cabbage is sautéed with a small kick of spice.. perfect darn meal. They do have plantains that come with the meal when ordering carry out, or you can pay extra for them when dining in. Because it's a pop up restaurant drinks do not come with the meal (they do serve water). The particular location did have an option to purchase separately from the bar. The Boston cooler pictured (Vernon's and ice cream ) hit the spot. If you ever see them in your area stop in, it's worth it

They come with 4 of them and are such an amazing texture. You'd think it would be that of a donut but it's has almost a mochi bouncy texture and it is savory! An amazing appetizer! Garden Quinoa: An incredibly fresh and lite start to the meal, easy to share. Kafta Skewers: A bit of a dryer but flavorful 2 meat skewer, but comes with a cucumber salad and pita. This app is less shareable than the others but the skewers are decent size but would recommend getting two orders if your group is larger than 4 people. Entrees Roasted Chicken with the Jollof Rice: The chicken was tender fall off the bone but paired great with the Jollof rice, peppers, onions and vegetables. Just a nice hearty dish. Groundnut Stew: This was a stand out to me, the mix of seasoned beef with the peanut sauce was unique and delicious! It's has subtle spice, like barely mild. An excellent hearty dish. Roasted Goat Shank: My friend got it right when she said there was some serious tenderness happening. Fall off the bone meat that has a subtle gamey flavor but is super tasty. Kidney Beans: My friend loves this dish and my other friend who tried it said they would order again!! Dessert: Pistachio Delight: My friends were obsessed with this 10/10 would order again! A note, both mocktails, Palm Cooler and Berry Colada, were tried at our table and were delicious. Overall it was a GREAT meal!! | 10/10 will be dining here again! The waitress was kind and attentive.
