Always so good and fresh. People complain about the prices, but you are paying for organic food prepared with care and honest portions enough for two meals. Plenty of gluten free options. Highly recommend!

My children and I love this place. They love the crΓͺpes. I have celiacs and love that I can have french fries. Employees are always fantastic and the food quality is consistently great.

Really beautiful restaurant. The outside garden and view are awesome. The inside is warm and inviting. Great for a date or celebration. Food was impeccable. And they are great for gluten free options. We were there just after sunset. We will be back to enjoy a sunset view soon

Still the greatest pizza in town. I had to go gluten free a few years ago, but thanks to their GF dough, I can still enjoy my Prima and fountain drink.

Kaito is such wonderful ramen and sushi. I sure do miss their 41st location but am grateful they found a way to survive the pandemic and moved into the mall. Their ramen is my favorite for a cozy night at home with a movie. I love the spicy miso raman, spicy garlic and black garlic raman. Also their gluten free ramen is not just rice noodles! Its really great!!!

Are you gluten free? They've got options for you. Are you vegetarian? They've got options for you. Are you a gluten free vegetarian? They. Have. Got. Options. For. You. Not only is there something that every CAN eat, it's something you WANT to eat. My personal favorites are the chicken gumbo and the spicy black bean and corn maque choux, but honestly you can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

My husband and I love Mijos so much we picked them to cater our wedding! My partner is gluten free and vegetarian, the staff is always so understanding of his food allergies and preferences. They are not a gluten free facility but he has never had a problem eatting here. Their Tinga is my go to meat choice! Their prices are so affordable, I highly recommend their burritos!

OMG, YUM...Best fresh deep dish pizza (Detroit style) around here. In slices or whole pie. Gluten Free pizza available, which is what I had. High quality ingredients all around at this place. Really good organic fresh made salads to go too. Good portion sizes. The two of us ordered 1 salad and 1 whole pizza. We got through half the salad and 1 slice only each, whi h is half the pizza pie. Had rest of it next day for lunch, so good portion size and thus good value. They have amazing looking bagels with all the fixins, fresh baked goods, and its also a Cafe with high end barrista bar where they serve Chai, Mocha, its called Syllable coffee. The Chai was best I have ever had (been back already for more), not overly spicy or overly sweet. Mocha was yum too.

This place is legit. Nice environment and atmosphere, impressive coffee bar and a wine bar I'll be checking out once it re-opens (darn you, COVID), and live music I'll also be checking out once it's possible to do again. Staff was super friendly and helpful, and they have gluten-free bagels. πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ Definitely going back!
