    A fantastic mom-and-pop Korean restaurant where things are still homemade, sushi as cucumber kimchi, even their gochujang! Yummmm! Unlike other places that through food together, the food here not only looks good but tastes good. Table service is attentive and caring. L The framed photographic art is from the same photographer and all themed toward flowers and hummingbirds. Tea pots and curios are quaint. Overall, the kitchen and dining room look clean and homey.

    Quick service, attentive waitstaff. The food was fine, but nothing spectacular. Wish the corned beef sandwich had something more than just bread and meat. The bibimbap was tasty, however felt as though the variety of veggies was lacking.

    So, you can't decide between diner comfort food or Korean? Why not both? Bell's Diner is a mom-and-pop diner that serves typical diner fare with the added bonus of Korean dishes, which are quite good. Choices abound on the menu and the portions are generous. The food was great, service was friendly, and what a great way to support the community by dining at a family-owned business.

    OVERALL We came in on a Sunday morning for a brunch and were quickly seated in a booth. It's reasonably-priced, quick service, and a very cute ambiance for those looking for your classic American diner or a diner with a Korean twist. It's truly a best of both worlds. Would definitely return! FOOD This is a unique Korean-American breakfast diner spot with an array of classic American breakfast fare and typical Korean entrees. Of course, there's options for fusion twists (e.g., bulgogi omelet or a bulgogi hoagie). We ordered and very much enjoyed the bibimbop and the bulgogi hoagie and burger. It was a decent amount of food and hit our brunch needs. The bibimbop was a great addition that's a rare find around here for breakfast at a diner. The flavors were good and there was a decent portion of vegetables and meat.... I ordered eggs over easy but didn't exactly get that and I expected the rice to be less wet. Otherwise, it was delicious! AMBIANCE It was relatively quiet and parking was simple! The dining area reminds me very much of an old home-y diner with meditative bird and nature sounds in the background. SERVICE We were offered water immediately and our orders were taken quickly. This spot offers a discount if you pay in cash and the restrooms are in the back kitchen where the cooking is done.

    I ordered bulgogi but I am pretty sure they gave me pepper steak, because it was in a pepper sauce and had green peppers. The quality was good but it was not exactly bulgogi, whether the order was technically wrong or not. Too spicy for me and bulgogi is not spicy at all. I am not sure why the bulgogi on the menu says it comes with vegetables, but the pepper steak clearly details everything it comes with. There are also 2 slightly different bulgogis on the menu, so I would imagine that can cause confusion when ordering. I did an online order for bulgogi and apple pie. They were out of pie. She said she would refund me in cash. Ok, but the tax was not refunded. Seems odd. I am sure there is a way to do a partial refund in the online order system. You cannot keep the tax on items you did not give out. I had also changed my order online and the note I made before did not disappear. So, they called and asked about the note and mentioned the pie and said they would not make the order until I called. Nothing prevented them from making the order. If I wanted to call, I would not have done an online order, and I was driving and had a busy day. I wanted it to be ready by a specific time and this held things up. I get the message that says the order is ready. I go in and she says 10 minutes. I tell them I got the email. She repeats what she said. Ok. They misplaced the order but did not tell me that. Customers appreciate honesty and not just telling them to wait with no explanation. Someone had placed the order on a table at the front and she did not know. She found it right away and gave it to me.

    Beef Bulgogi -- a 10/10! Delicious flavor and generous enough portion for 2 full meals

    More than 4 years after my last review, Bell's remains a solid choice. I visited recently for lunch, and my husband and I were able to be seated immediately. After perusing the menu, he decided on the Bibimbap, and I decided on the Jopchae beef. Our food was quickly delivered to the table, and we dug in. The portion was more than generous, and I took half of it home to have a second meal later. We paid in cash for a slight discount on our total check, before we headed out. It was a great spot to grab lunch and just as good as I remembered!

    A place where you can order Korean food and onion rings? And pancakes? Consider me an immediate fan of Bell's Diner. The food we ordered was incredible and the portion sizes were generous. The service was friendly and efficient. The prices were reasonable. The spicy pork made for incredible leftovers. Consider us fans AND new regulars.

    Delicious! The food is priced at 16.99 but is worth it the portion sizes aren't bad and the taste is nice

    Solid experience for breakfast. Small diner with friendly staff. It really is a diner so get ready…read moreto be taken a bit back in time. We were visiting Ann Arbor and Frank's is right of campus. Breakfast is their game and they've got it down. Many reviews raved about the French toast so we both got it. Meh, it was ok. It has a cinnamon sugar on it but the type of bread is not something we recognized. Scrambled eggs and bacon were great. Cofee could have been better but really fit in with what you'd expect at a diner. Recommend if you are looking for a fulfilling breakfast that won't break the bank.

    Frank's is old school. They have been around forever, essentially. (I grew up just past north…read morecampus, circa 1980s, when it was half cornfields still, and I attended University of Michigan for a professional degree.) They are the quintessential diner in the perfect college town. I would estimate I've eaten there ten times since, say, 1988. The decor exudes the Go Blue spirit. They also have retro knick knacks: a photo of the Three Stooges in cap and gown, saying "Now what?," a vintage Mountain Dew advertising sign, a Scooby Doo mystery van toy model, etc. But if I gave been there for anything other than breakfast, I have forgotten that. So I associate the place with traditional American fare prepared on a griddle, before you start the workday (or classes). This weekend, my wife and I are passing through town. Last night, she said, where should we eat in the morning. I gave her a few choices. She said, oh, Frank's of course. We had a stranger take a photo of us outside, for old time's sake. I had corned beef hash, two eggs, hash browns, and toast. My wife had pancakes. Both our dishes were large enough for us to request boxes and a bag. We are set for tomorrow. The corned beef was how I like it: it is not some fancy homemade preparation, but the type out of a can, fried up (I would bet it is in fact homemade, but in the style of out of a can, which is even better). The pancakes are exactly as you would imagine if you grew up in the States and have ever eaten at this type of establishment. We noticed they have specialty versions, such as with peanut butter. The patrons are a mix. One table was blue collar rank and file, talking about their union and ensuring folks don't steal their jobs. Another table was four college guys, and of the different backgrounds you would hope (I would anyway) come together as equals on a campus, including white, black, and Asian American. The server was friendly, someone who either loves their job or does such a good job presenting that attitude you want to leave a good tip; the chef also was outgoing. I hope Frank's continues to be around another 40 years. It belongs to a business type that is disappearing everywhere else.
