Never been to a Dominican restaurant before. Puerto Rican & Cuban, but....no D.R. So in I go. I'm the only one eating inside just after noon. They had a steady stream of carry-out orders the whole time I was there. The man behind the counter of this family-owned & -run restaurant greeted me first in Español, then English. That's a good sign in my book. Very personable, quick, good sense of humor. Checked in a few times after my order arrived. Went with the Chicharon de Pollo (Fried Chicken) that comes with tostones (fried plantains). Arrived so hot I had to wait several minutes for the chicken to cool. So I focused on the tostones. Like a chewy version of a French fry but wider. Once an approachable temperature was achieved, I hit the chicken hard. The breading is amazing! Crunchy, light, not overly salted, not greasy at all. 🥰 The chicken inside was delicious, tender. And the amount was huge for lunch: 5 pieces of chicken on a bed of tostones that likely numbered 15. $16 but a ton of food for the price. Dinner is going to be a light snack. The music is authentic and the volume appropriate. The place is clean, comfortable (booths on both sides).

Note from 2017, 8 years later, going strong a must visit . Holla yo Dominican food Wowsa this new place open only 2 months packing them in and dozens of carryout ordered while we there. Yeah we only Gringos in da house a hidden gem off beaten path worth the drive. Fast friendly beautiful decor painting and flags along with music will take you into the Dominican world. Starting with Menudo and artful salad while our feast being prepared. Funny waiter Kevin no much English, I had him laughing cool dude.

Food: I order one thing at first but only had the taste for one thing on the plate and so I told my waiter and she was so kind & so was the cook/owner, they made me a new plate of what I wanted & asked how it taste & the food was amazing! Taste like it was made with so much love! & Lets not get into the variety of Dominican culture based foods they had, amazing flavors & options, tasty dulce de coco desert, AMAZING pina juice (I had like 5). I loved this restaurant from when I first set foot in it! My Dominican people, I appreciate them so much for being one of the best Dominican restaurants in Detroit ! Service: Amazing waitresses! Amazing Owner, silly sense of humor, he’s caring, and you can tell he loves what he does. I will be returning! Atmosphere: Loved the paintings, made me feel at home, I love the culture behind them, loved the music included & the amount of spacing to eat!

My husband and I recently visited Asty Time Dominican Cuisine to satisfy a craving, and it far exceeded our expectations. We sampled the chicharrón con tostones, arroz blanco con carne guisada, and mofongo with chicharrón and carne frita. Wow! The mofongo was the best I've ever had, bursting with a rich, buttery garlic flavor and generous chunks of chicharrón. The carne guisada was equally impressive, each bite bursting with flavor and leaving us in awe. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious, showcasing the chef's exceptional talent and skill. The wonderful food was perfectly complemented by the friendliest customer service. The chef himself checked on us to ensure everything was to our liking, adding a personal touch to our dining experience. I highly recommend Asty Time Dominican Cuisine to anyone looking for a memorable meal. You will not be disappointed!

If you ain't fearing for your life, then the good ain't worth it. Yeah the area is a little sketchy, but At Asty? The food is too DIE for! 🍛🍗 We talking mofongo that will have you more full than a mofo on-the-go. We talking plantains that will have you calling em platanos. We talking fried chicken that... in fact, you know what? Less talking, more eating! (Food prep could be quicker tho 👀) Anyway, if you aren't a pretentious, snooty person or just like good freaking food, then Asty is a no brainer. Get ready to experience your new favorite hole-in-the-wall.

(Vegan reviewer) Absolutely loved this place! Felt like I was in the Dominican. They have two different choices for beans and rice - both are delicious and vegan d come with a small salad. You can have the fried plantains (salty) or the mashed plantains (sweet) as well. Not a huge menu, but they have mastered these classic national dishes. Loved the music and the atmosphere. Excellent service in both English and Español. I highly recommend this place and will certainly come here as often as I can.
