3921 2nd Ave, Detroit, MI 48201

Mon-Sun: 5pm-10pm

A New American shared plates restaurant in Detroit.

Nothing brings us more joy than a great meal with friends. Sharing that experience is at the heart of why we opened Selden Standard. And central to that experience is Chef Andy Hollyday’s food – flavors born in local farms, captured at the peak of the season, prepared in our wood-fired oven, and served small plates-style in perfectly shareable portions. Complementing the menu is a bar we take every bit as seriously as our kitchen: wines thoughtfully chosen from small producers, local and global brews that work well with our food, and craft cocktails to suit the seasons. Our concept and our dining room are rustic and casual – come as you are – but with an ever-present eye for quality, creativity, and fun. It's an approach that saw us named an Outstanding Restaurant semi-finalist in both 2024 and 2025 by the James Beard Foundation, as well as restaurant of the year in 2015 by the Detroit Free Press and in 2016 by Hour Detroit magazine. If that sounds like your idea of a good time, we’ll look forward to seeing you here soon. Come find us at the corner of 2nd Avenue and Selden, just south of Wayne State’s campus and only two blocks west of the Fisher Music Center.

Located in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit, TAKOI is known for modern Thai cooking accented with Michigan seasonality, a DIY mentality, and a penchant for local food production.

During the height of farm season, the restaurant highlights dishes prepared with HiO produce utilizing the techniques and flavors inspired by the regional cuisines of Thailand. TAKOI, originally KATOI, began as a food truck in 2014, evolved into an Ann Arbor pop-up, and landed as a proper restaurant at 2520 Michigan Avenue in March of 2016. After being open for 11 months, having a slew of fun, and garnering a handful of awards — including a James Beard 'Best New Restaurant' nomination— KATOI was brought back down to earth when it was subjected to arson in February 2017. The day after the fire, the rebuild began, and we opened as TAKOI exactly six months later in August 2017.
