“Best New Suburban Dining Destination”, that is.

The Detroit MetroTimes has this to say about Clawson….

BEST NEW SUBURBAN DINING DESTINATION

Clawson
Aside from Noble Fish and the Clawson Steak House (our retro winner this year), Clawson was a place foodies sped through as they drove from Royal Oak to Troy. That is no longer the case with the arrival over the past few years of transplant Royal Kubo, mellow brewery Black Lotus, the just-opened Vietnamese restaurant Da Nang, and two other “best-of” winners this year, Due Venti and Sabidee. A central geographic location and relatively low rents have brought these new epicurean destinations to this sleepy little suburb, which may soon contend with Ferndale and Royal Oak for suburban dining laurels.
