Hand written outdoor by the corner of the parking lot reads "bunch" think it's meant to read as brunch. The interior is nice. I like the red drapes, goes well with the restaurant name. Nick is waiting on us. He's warm and friendly. An American restaurant with Asian and some Peruvian flare to the menu items. Most items are shareables. Ordered chili crisp deviled eggs, general tso's cauliflower, feta wonton, imposter burger, mushroom bulgogi, elote Caesar less croutons, full grandma's house salad less cheddar. $116.60 The flowery plastic side plates and other plating aren't what I would have expected here. Interesting. The deviled eggs are yummy with the crisp chili. Not sure it's $14 worth though. I could easily get a 6 deviled eggs halves at holiday and throw some chili oil on top for $6. The feta wonton is yummy. The flat wonton is a nice riff on this app. It's a thin mini flatbread. Super crispy. Hot honey is always yummy. The general tso's cauliflower isn't my favorite. The breading is heavy and parts of it is super crunchy and hard, not just crispy. The imposter burger was so-so. Nothing special. The fries are thin and crispy, they are good. The mushroom bulgogi isn't too bad, maybe better if the shiitake wasn't dried. It tasted rubbery, which is usually a trait of the rehydrated dried mushrooms to me. Decent flavor. Love the ginger seasoning. The sushi rice isn't as good as I expected at all. Mushy. The house salad is okay, nothing fancy or unique there. Needs something notable for the dressing, tasted too plain. The banchans are so-so for an Ameican spot. The cucumber and broccoli aren't doing it for me. Kimchi is kimchesque. Service was good. Experience is unique.
I tried takeout here and I was underwhelmed after reading all the stellar reviews. This is not Asian food, lol. At most I'd call it Asian fusion. It's overpriced but that is expected for the ambiance and location. The Szechuan Spare Ribs were too salty and over seasoned. Nothing was offensive but nothing left me craving to return. It's a fine choice for downtown Clawson but I will head over to Madison Heights and Troy for authentic Asian cuisine.
This was a mixed bag kind of experience. The good: The food was all consistently tasty. Loved the kimchi smashburger. It does not need the crispy ramen topper, but whatever. The creamy whipped feta was chefs kiss. The not so good: Two attempts with completely flat no carbonation diet coke. Host tried to seat us at a tiny bar hi top table when booths were available...when we had made a reservation a week prior. Had to bargain to be seated at a real table. Service was friendly but very inattentive - no water refill, did not check in on us, etc.
The establishment had a great feel to it. It is sophisticated and kitschy as well. They played great music, which added to the overall ambience. The service was excellent and attentive. The food was extremely tasty. The chicken bao was very good and the general bao was out of this world. The tomato soup had hints of Indian spices and was warm and flavorful. Will definitely be back.
This is such a cute place, but also creepy at the same time. It's kind of the dark version of little red riding Hood. The service is really nice. People are super friendly and helpful. We end up just getting drinks here. The drinks were great. Looking forward to coming back to trying the food. They have a great menu.
Food: very creative and unique, we started with the Szechuan spare ribs, it's got a brown sugar dry rub on there. There's some spice that comes through from the togarashi, I would say it's a pretty balanced bite. I got the hot chicken bao and the Peruvian chicken bao. Both were very good. Service: we came in on a Monday evening, so it wasn't busy. Everything was quick and our server checked in on us numerous times, we were always taken care of. I like when they can make recommendations and they did not disappoint. Ambiance: beautiful restaurant, very modern and clean. It's a warm and intimate setting. There are only a handful of parking spots in their own lot but a good amount of parking nearby.
Hands down the best food I have had in a long time. Utterly delicious. Went once last week and returned this weekend bc I couldn't stop thinking about the food and wanted my husband to try! First time I ordered Peruvian Bao Bun and tomato soup with literally the best grilled cheese I have ever had. Loved the miso base for the soup. Super cute to serve in soup can style bowl. Bun was amazing! Came back second time and ordered same but also the Szechuan spare ribs app. INCREDIBLE. Fall Off bone. Super tasty with perfect seasoning and the salad it was served on was sooo good. Service was great both times. And the little Grandmas living room waiting area or to sip a drink is clever. This is 10/10. Must go.
I was a huge fan of Vigilante and sad when I heard it closed, so I was super excited to try out Red & The Wolf and was happy to see a similar vibe of the menu made it over, while committed to a fun theme! There's plenty of space inside, we ended up still making reservations, but it wasn't too busy during dinner (we did go on a pretty snowy evening though). There's a small parking lot for the restaurant or just general street parking. The theme and decor of the restaurant was super fun, starting with an awesome mural out front and a fun seating area inside. For our starters, I ordered a bao burger, elotes salad, and the tomato + red pepper soup. I loved the presentation of the soup and it was probably my favorite dish of the night. We ordered the roasted red pepper arrabbiata with chicken as our main, which was good, but nothing special. We ended with the black forest bread pudding, which was amazing, tons of flavor. Also, I just wanted to shout out the amazing service, and the bartender! They were able to customize some really great mocktails just based on our flavor preferences, which was really cool! I would definitely recommend for a date night or fun night out!
We went here on a whim on a cold, winter Saturday night and the place was popping. There was a wait for tables, but there were seats available at the bar, so we just parked ourselves there. Yelp has this place classified as a Chinese restaurant, but that is a bit of an overstatement. They definitely have some Asian inspired fare, but the menu covers a lot of different territory. We each ordered the Bao Burger to start. It was a unique mix of flavors and we really liked that. We followed that with the Elotes Caesar Salad which was fantastic. I'm not sure which ingredient gave it that tasty crunch, but it was very good. Then things got interesting... We wanted to try one of the naan flatbreads, but were told that they did not have any naan ready so it might be a little while. We had eaten our first two items so we were OK waiting for a while, but then we waited..and waited...and waited. I'm not sure how long it was before it was announced that the naan was available, but it seems like a solid 45 minutes, if nor more...and then we had to wait for them to actually prep it. The naan flatbreads are approximately a quarter of the menu, so it seemed crazy to not have any available on a Saturday night. We were extremely patient and didn't share our frustration on the bartender, who seemed equally frustrated. So, was it worth the wait? We had the Peruvian Chicken Naan Flatbread and, yes, it was quite tasty! One last comment: as I mentioned, it was a cold, winter night and according to my wife, the ladies restroom was unbearable cold. She was in there doing her thing as quickly as she could when another customer walked in and promptly screamed "OMG, it;s like the F#*@! Arctic Circle in here!"...so that gives you an idea of something else that probably needs to be addressed.
This place was such a hidden gem. The bao bun was absolutely amazing! The flavor was insane. The ribs and crème brûlée was also delicious. The only thing we didn't particularly care for was the steak, but everything else knocked it out the park. Our waiter was great and all his suggestions were on point. We can't wait to go back and try the smash burger. This is a great place to just pop in and enjoy.
On our first visit, Maddy, our server, and Daniel, the manager, were both incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely caring, which immediately set a great tone for the experience. Service felt attentive without being overbearing--always appreciated. I'd heard positive buzz about their plant-based options and finally decided to check it out. The convenience of a dedicated parking lot was a nice bonus, and the location doesn't hurt either--just steps away from my favorite local distillery. They were unfortunately out of the lion's mane steak (the main reason we came), but that just gives us an excuse to return. Instead, we tried the bao buns and chick'n tenders. It appears they use Daring and Beyond products, which we enjoy. The cauliflower appetizer isn't vegan, so we skipped it. Overall, the food was flavorful and satisfying, though portions felt a bit on the smaller side--especially considering we ordered mostly apps. Prices are slightly high in my opinion, but the quality was there. The cocktail menu also caught my attention, especially seeing Weiss spirits featured in several drinks. It's a strong start, and I'm looking forward to watching both the food and cocktail menus continue to evolve. We'll definitely be back to explore more.
Delightful newish restaurant. We were having problems finding restaurants open on Monday, so we ended up here. So glad we did. The cocktail menu is small, but creative using spirits from Weiss Distillery next door. The food was the star for me though! quite a number of vegan and vegetarian items that were clearly designed by someone who understands that making plant forward food means more than just subbing impossible burgers in for hamburgers. The Lion's Mane mushroom riblets were visually stunning and delicious. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super helpful in choosing what to order. The decor could be described as cozy gothic. We did not order much because we had dinner plans but we definitely plan to go back.
Nice place recently opened. Could use a little fine tuning. They serve drinks made with products from Weiss. Food was pretty good but a little bit of a wait. Chalula buffalo sauce on smoked wings - chefs kiss
Had to come back to Red and the Wolf since I just had apps last time. We enjoyed a lovely lunch with the BEST smoked wings, Peruvian chicken flat bread, fries and the tomato pepper soup with mini grilled cheese. Wow! I love the attention to detail of this place! The owner stopped by to visit and we learned the wings took 24 hours to make. Six perfect, juicy wings, rubbed in a spicy yummyness, then smoked low and slow so they were plump, juicy perfection! You have your choice between a buffalo sauce or a Korean sauce - or for a dollar you can have both which I highly recommend. It also comes with a house made ranch dressing that is phenomenal for dipping. The flat bread was made in house and was very tasty with chunks of chicken and chimichurri sauce and onions. Really really good. I didn't think the fried noodles on top added anything personally, but if someone likes that kind of thing you would probably like it even better. The tomato pepper soup came in an adorable soup can with two sticks of grilled cheese with caramelized onions. What a great dish. I am looking forward to coming back to try some of the entrées that intrigued me. I really love this place and I hope you visit because it's the kind of place I want to keep around because they really seem to care about customers and the quality of their food. The grandma room was decorated for Christmas and is so cute to enjoy for cocktails and snacks! Love this place! read more

So I understand this place is juuust opening buuuuut ugh. Still no excuse for terrible operations. One of our party booked a reservation for us via google reservations. I arrived early and we headed to the bar for a drink. Upon seating it seemed like the place was a vibe but quickly went downhill. We were asked several times who made our reservation even though the person had called earlier the same day to ensure we had it locked down, only to be informed they don't do reservations nor carry out and yet they have failed to disable both options online, as if they don't have a say or control in the matter, which they certainly should. Bartenders that didn't know how to make drinks, inadequate supplies- limited booze, no fruit, substitute cherry juice for muttled cherries in an old fashioned, ran out of a lot of their beer.. ill prepared. At least they were engaging to talk with but sometimes you don't necessarily want to see/ hear about their lives, where they live, their former lovers, etc... TMI. I had an old fashioned to kick things off. I was never asked what type of bourbon I wanted, don't even know what they used but was informed that the cherry part would just be some type of cherry concentrate or juice. Not great especially for the price. A glass of wine and an OF with tip- $31... oof. By the time we sat with our party, they did not have a dedicated waitstaff; seemed as if there was maybe one or two people trying to cover all the tables. Was 30 min before we got a sip of water; 45 minutes for a drink... was informed it would be another 40 minutes to get any food and 25 for any appetizer... by this time we had been here for almost 1.5 hours, one drink, one cup of water. Just atrocious. I also witnessed a cook reading instructions whilst making something. Just seemed as if you opened too quickly. Nothing ready, couldn't handle the details. We ended up not even eating cause we didn't want to spend 2+ hours trying to traverse this mess. A really poor performance that has tarnished what seemed like a good food option and maybe a good culinary experience. Not going to drive 40 minutes for this. read more
I am loving the menu at Red and the Wolf which is much more elevated (American with an Asian twist) and affordable with generous portions.. so hard to find right now! As vegetarians / pescatarians, we enjoyed the fish and cauliflower bao which were pillowy and saucy! The roasted red pepper soup was a unique flavor profile (very coconut milky) and the grilled cheese had a strong smell that might not be for classic palates but I appreciated the inventiveness. The mushroom flatbread had a great crust but a little salty for my partner. I am giving 5 stars because it is week 2 and Clawson needs more quality dining options that are not bad bar food. If they can figure out their vision (plates, decor, and music were a bit mismatched) and get some signature cocktails, this will be a new favorite. read more

Loved the food, the service, the ambiance. Knocked it out of the park. My cocktail was an excellent handcrafted drink, but also the smallest drink I've ever been served, just an FYI. Cannot wait to go back. read more

Was so excited to try, maybe a super disappointing experience. The flavors are unique, just not what I would like. The chicken was over cooked the crunchy noodles were burned. Just nothing I would want. But I'm sure someone loves it. And fries should be crispy not soft. read more
