The Sakura Novi development promises a culinary hub with a variety of international flavors. Meanwhile, Wendy’s is closing several locations as part of a strategic review, marking a significant shift in the fast-food landscape. Food lovers can look forward to fresh dining options, making it a thrilling time for the region’s food culture.

Exciting Changes in Metro Detroit’s Dining Scene!

Hey there, foodies of Metro Detroit! If you’re on the hunt for new dining experiences or a bit of nostalgia from your favorite fast-food joints, we’ve got a lot to dish up for you—pun intended! As spring rolls in, so do some amazing new restaurants, while some familiar fast-food spots say goodbye. Buckle up because we’re about to take a tasty trip through what’s cooking in the area!

All-You-Can-Eat in Novi!

First up, let’s talk about a whole new restaurant opening in Novi that’s got everyone buzzing! Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House, a high-end, all-you-can-eat spot from a Los Angeles-based hospitality group, is set to open its doors in May at the Sakura Novi development. This shiny new establishment will mark the first Michigan venture for the New York-based Chubby Group.

The menu at Mikiya is nothing short of mouthwatering! Imagine savoring wagyu chuck ribeye, wagyu brisket, wagyu nigiri, and even wagyu bone marrow, all sourced from local farms. As part of its rewards program, Mikiya promises members some seriously delightful perks like free food, complimentary drinks, and priority reservations. If you’re a fan of Shabu Shabu, you definitely won’t want to miss this!

Sakura Novi’s Culinary Lineup

But wait, there’s more! Sakura Novi is not stopping at Mikiya. Alongside it, you can look forward to the opening of other eateries such as Dancing Pine Korean Steakhouse, delightful Presotea Taiwanese boba tea, and sweet treats from Paris Baguette. Rumor has it that plans are underway for a ramen and sushi restaurant and even a breakfast spot! With a touch of beauty services, it sounds like Sakura is about to be the go-to destination for food enthusiasts!

New Flavors in Birmingham and Troy

Moving a bit further over to downtown Birmingham, local restaurateur Randy Foumia has opened up Terra Kitchen + Cocktails in the space once occupied by The Morrie. Terra’s menu is packed with deliciousness, featuring everything from hearty steaks and salads to a unique wagyu double smashburger and a pressed Cuban sandwich. There’s even a special menu for the kiddos!

And that’s not all! Over in Troy, the famous Houston TX Hot Chicken chain is gearing up to launch its third location. This spot will join its siblings in Sterling Heights and Novi. Famous for its responsibly sourced, never-frozen chicken, Houston TX Hot Chicken serves up some heat in seven spice levels—with the hottest requiring a waiver. Are you brave enough to try it?

Barbecue Lovers Rejoice!

If barbecue is more your vibe, then you’ll be excited to hear that Prime BBQ Smokehouse has opened its new location on Telegraph Road in Detroit. This marks their third site in Michigan, and we can only say that those barbecue cravings are about to be satisfied!

Wendy’s Renegotiates and Closes Its Doors

With plans in motion to shut down around 140 underperforming restaurants nationwide while having opened about 500 in just the past two years, Wendy’s is certainly taking a big leap in reshaping its dining presence. Some confirmed closures include specific spots in Adrian and Tecumseh as they transition into new, more profitable territories.

A Flurry of New Restaurants Coming Soon!

Gilly’s Clubhouse, Vecino Detroit, and Dutch Girl Donuts will begin to sprout up soon, promising a delightful array of flavors inspired by international cuisines. With so much happening, there’s no doubt that food lovers in Metro Detroit have a lot to look forward to!
