"they’ve also got some dishes they can do on request which aren’t on it (yet), such as Goat Sukhar"

It was tripas!
Thanks moose734, that's why I didn't enjoy it .
it didn't look like tripe!
Italian = trippa
What is the word for tripe in Spanish?
I will definitely avoid the intestine dishes at Ypbor Yan!
(unless it's sausage casing)

the closed coney around the corner (on Maple / Liberty) has a sign-
taqueria opening soon!
more competition!
the menu at Taco King has been growing, menudo is now listed.
I tried the tripe taco @ taco king & did not like it , it was tender but had a strong offal, livery taste.
I've had tripe before & thought it was OK, it had a milder flavor, but there are different types, I'm not sure which one of the 4 cow stomachs they used.

Ypbor Yan (Emerald City)
I'm almost ashamed to admit we went again last night, we needed dinner & decided what the hell..I don't think i've ever eaten in the same place twice in a week!
We had Yibin flame noodle, spicy dry tofu, & fish fragrant pork & boiled fish .We asked for the food to be made very spicy, it wasreally great, also asked about the last page on the menu which was in chinese only. they translated, it included some rabbit dishes. will ask about the board in Chinese only with specials next time!

meats included
Al Pastor , Carne asada, Barbacoa (lamb), Carnitas, Chorizo, Lengua (tongue), Pollo - pretty standard.
served w/ cilantro & onion & a very nice green tomatillo salsa.
I'll have the lamb & tongue!
Iraqi Restaurants in the Detroit area
i think June 8-10 is the Chaldean Festival in Southfield, there's also a country club -Shenandoah but you need to go w/ a member not much in the way of restaurants.
There are some pretty good grocery / markets with deli counters / takeout & sometimes a few tables, you could picnic if weather is nice:
Babylon foods 6609 Orchard Lake Rd West Bloomfield, MI 48322 (248) 851-4343
Mediterranean Market & Bakery 32839 Northwestern Highway, Farmington Hills MI 48334/248-538-9552.
Maybe try CALC -Chaldean American Ladies of Charity, 248-538-8300 - they have a great cookbook out & might know where the best food is?
Ypbor Yan (Emerald City)
You can take the credit moose734! i've been seeing all the posts raving about how wonderful Trizest is for months, and right here is the same wonderful food in our own backyard without a 100+ mile drive! another thing is that the service was good, there was not the "you must not order that" attitude-- they seemed happy we wanted the real stuff!
Taco King is now open in Tienda La Libertad [Ann Arbor, MI]
they re-opened recently so it was kind of chaotic but the tacos were tasty. it's nice to have an inexpensive non-chain eatery in the area.
they had tacos, burritos,tamales, tortas &quesadillas on the menu, perhaps they'll do more once settled in.

Ypbor Yan (Emerald City)
Ybor Yan is a treasure if you are looking for delicious Sichuan food in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area with the same owners as Trizest in Sterling Heights. And located in that wonderful part of Washtenaw Ave. with so many good ethnic eateries.
Ask for the Chinese menu, also they have specials listed on a card at the table.
We went last weekend for the 1st time & had the following:
Dumplings in spicy sauce
Sichuan noodles
Sichuan herb salad (from the specials menu)
Sichuan lamb
Spicy chicken
The food was really great, the portions generous and the service was friendly too.
There are many interesting dishes on the menu, we look forward to a return trip soon.
The prices seemed quite reasonable too.

Spicy Chinese Food - DTW
We tried Ypbor Yan over the weekend. It was excellent,! I will be back. The food could have been a littler hotter spice wise so I'll know to insist on more heat next time. the Chinese menu was really great.

The same owners as Trizest seem to be running Emerald City (new name Ypbor Yan?) 4905 Washtenaw Avenue Ann Arbor (Pittsfield). the(online) menu includes Sichuan Lamb , Spicy Skewer rabbit, Sauteed pork kidney, Sichuan noodle salad.
Has anyone tried it?
is it as good as Trizest?
