We have found our place to satisfy our cravings for Chinese and Korean food. How did we not know this restaurant was here when we have lived in the area and driven past it so many times? Located in a strip mall, it is an inconspicuous gem that can be easily overlooked. Nothing fancy; just a delicious selection of authentic dishes prepared from scratch, served piping hot by a hardworking staff at reasonable prices. What's not to like? When we walked in the door, the place was full of Asian guests. Our servers were efficient and helpful yet so busy they did not really have the time to be friendly and chatty. It took us two visits to fully understand their menu selections. They have a large American Cantonese Chinese selection menu. They are also known for their dim sun menu which comes with helpful pictures. Here is the gem.... Ask for their authentic Chinese menu for more authentic dishes. On our first visit, we tried a variety of dim sun dishes and loved each one. Beautiful and delicious. Enjoyed the variety of sauces at the table to add flavors. The prices were reasonable and the portions enough for two. On our second visit, we discovered the Chinese menu and ordered an array of our favorite dishes. They were all wonderful with fresh ingredients, heavy on the veggies while light on the meat (fine for us though others may prefer more meat) with the familiar flavors we enjoy. We left this meal with leftovers that lasted us for two more meals. Can't wait to come back and work our way through their menu. Based on other Yelp reviews, Cheng's would not have caught my eye. It is very understated and one could easily miss the authentic offerings available. Be patient. Ask for ALL their menus. Enjoy. read more

We were craving some dim sum and I wanted to try a new place. Glad I stumbled upon this place on Instagram. I have passed it in the past but never had a chance to try before today. I love the soy noodles, those are so chewy and savory. The cream buns were warm and I love the cookie topping. The BBQ pork buns are just a classic and were very tasty here. I always love the soy skin rolls, shrimp rolls, and sticky rice. I liked their chili oil and the sweet sauce at the table was a nice touch since one child loves that type of sauce. Everything was good. It was about average price in my opinion. We got eight dishes and it was not too expensive and we did end up with a few leftovers. I would definitely come back to this place for more dim sum. read more

Came for dim sum. It was ok. The we ordered the standard fare which included chicken feet, soup dumpling, bean curd, and some others. I was impressed by the quantity. If you take a look at the pictures for $5.25 I would say each of the dishes were worth it. In terms of quality that is just average tasting. Nothing was out of the world better than any other dim sum place. However if you like dim sum this is a place to check out. The one dim sum dish we did not like was the chang fen (beef roll) because literally it did not contain any beef. The employee said it does contain beef but it was so minced that it tasted like the dough itself. They also have an authentic menu that has dishes that we would try such as the casseroles. It is a Cantonese restaurant and it was filled with Chinese people which is a great sign. We would come back this in the area. read more

The food was very unimpressive. Not what I expected based on the ratings it had. There was no flavor apart from soy sauce and salt.

Looking for Dim sum and according to Yelp, this is one of the best to have dim sum in Metro Detroit. They are pretty good for the most part. Dumpings are full of shrimp and meat. The buns are good, good amount stuffing. 腸粉rice noddle roll has no meat in it, it was all noddle. Anything that has to roll wasnt up to the standard. Overall it is a good place to eat dim sum and Chinese food but be careful what you order. Also it is in Rochester Hill so quite a bit of a drive depends on where you live. read more

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, and I was a little disappointed with my meal. I ordered Garlic Ribs for myself and three egg rolls for my spouse. The Garlic Ribs with rice were tasty, but there were more onions and green bell peppers than rib meat. I could count the tiny bite-sized ribs with two hands. My spouse loved the egg rolls and stated, "They are very generous with the plum sauce!" We will probably patronize this restaurant again; however, I think I will try a different dish. The service was great, and the food was ready when we arrived to pick it up. read more

I've written a review about this restaurant years ago but it deserves another.... I love this place it's got delicious Dim Sum as well as other dishes..... It's primarily an Asian Clientele , which also tells me it's a good place for Dim Sum.... Just go try it you'll love it read more

2nd time to come here after 4-5 years later. Service has improved faster, portions size per order good for 2-3 persons. Tasted the seafood birds nest, shrimp & roasted pork fried rice and the crispy egg noodles with shrimp and roasted pork. Hot tea served free. Our food was not so salty and with lots of fresh vegetables. No music so I could hear myself making a noise while eating :-) lots of take out orders. Casual family style dining. Private parking. Restroom needs renovation. Average meal may cost $15-$20 per person. read more

Good soups and egg rolls. Usually egg rolls are over cooked thin and soggy. These were still cooked but still were not dried and limp. They did get my order wrong. I ordered chicken egg foo yong. But got shrimp egg foo yong. They charged me for the chicken version when I pointed it out to them and gave us egg custard dessert. That's customer service. :). read more

For Metro Detroit, the dim sum at Cheng's is a 5/5 because it's hot and fresh. If you want to satisfy your dim sum cravings, this is the right place for it. My family has pretty high standards for dim sum, and this is the only restaurant they'd consider in the area. We got a variety of food, but I'll highlight a few that I enjoyed and remembered after a few days. * 干炒牛河 (BEEF CHOW FUN) - The noodles were the perfect texture of springy and chewy with lots of "wok hay" flavor along with the sauce. The beansprouts and onions were crisp and delicious. I wish they didn't skimp on the beef slices because I could barely find them in there. * STEAMED CHICKEN FEET (5.25) - So good and juicy. The skin and cartilage were both so tender and the sauce was perfect. We got this piping hot. Definitely would recommend. * EGG TART (4.75) - Each order comes with three super flaky and buttery egg tart. It was also very fresh and so good. The perfect end for dim sum. * BEEF BABY RIBS WITH BLACK PEPPER (5.25) - Not a lot of beef but the black pepper sauce is so good. This is a pretty fatty and hearty dish, yum. * STEAMED SPARERIBS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE (5.25) - Good but not much meat and too much bones. But still get it because, so good! Next time, I wanna try the sesame balls, steamed BBQ pork buns, pan-fried turnip cake, shrimp in rice roll, steamed bean curd skin, and more. The dim sum here is actually hot and fresh, which cannot be said for most other dim sum places in the area. The tea here unfortunately was a miss, but everything else was solid and quite impressive for Metro Detroit standards. read more

In town for a short time and happened upon Cheng's at lunch time. I had the sesame chicken lunch combo- entree, egg roll (good sauce!) and brown rice. Very good- quick service even though the place was packed. Recommend read more

My family goes here all the time, we order a ton of food and it's always top tier quality.

Was looking for dim sum in Rochester and that search led me to Cheng's. What a great discovery. I wish I would have found thins place years ago. It was amazing. We started with a variety of dumplings. I especially loved the steamed cream bun...it was dessert worthy and the egg yolk bun. The egg yolk was almost custard like in the pillowy, delicious steamed bun. The noodles with soy sauce on the dim sum menu was one of the best noodle dishes I've ever had, For entrees, my wife and I ignored the "American Chinese" Menu and ordered off the authentic menu. No regrets. Wife got the pork, i got the steak and onions. We loved them both. Upon reflection, I'm looking forward to my next trip to try some "American Chinese" I'm not opposed to that type of cuisine and based on all we've sampled, I'm sure it's fantastic too! read more

Hands down the best place for dim sum in Metro Detroit. Everything tasted fresh and we were served shortly after placing our order. My favorites were the Rice Rolls, BBQ Pork Buns (so pillowy!) and Egg Noodle with Soy Sauce. The noodles had the right amount of dry-ness and good wok hei. Seating is limited so I would avoid peak times on the weekends or arrive early if you do not plan on waiting. read more

Ordered so much food with my friends. It was my first time and I ended up loving all the dishes - shrimp rice rolls, beef rice rolls, three courses of peking duck, beef chow fun, turnip cakes, egg noodles, bbq pork buns, shrimp siu mai, general tso's chicken, pan fried dumplings, garlic chives pancake, deep fried squid with spicy salt and sweet egg yolk buns! Next time if I go with my husband only then I would most definitely order peking duck! Less likely to order turnip cakes, garlic chives pancake, deep fried squid with spicy salt and sweet egg yolk buns, and beef rice rolls but this is a personal preference. Overall, it was a very good experience and good food! read more

The food that I have ordered is tasty. Definitely should try the place out. Will be back to try more from the menu and they do have a dim sum option as well. read more

I am all about supporting small businesses, especially Asian ones. Dim sum is not common in MI so I'm grateful for the few options we have. That being said, there are better options in metro Detroit but this place satisfied my dim sum craving. I thought the service was a bit disorganized. The waiters would bring out the dishes and go around every table and look at your marked off menu and see if you ordered what they're carrying out the kitchen - then they'll "circle" that item on your menu so they know it's been served. Overall, it's a small, cozy, family friendly restaurant and every single table was occupied by Cantonese families. read more

The absolute best Chinese Restaurant and most importantly Dim Sum restaurant in the area! The Pan Fried Dumplings are out of this world. The Har How (Shrimp dumplings) are incredible! My husband loves the Sesame Chicken and Fried Rice, it's so lean compared to other places, so we love that! I've had the egg drop soup, it's good but doesn't knock my socks off. Almost everything I've had off the dim sum menu is great, so you can't go wrong with that! read more

Cheng's is one of the very few Chinese restaurants that are still serving authentic, delicious cuisine in the metro Detroit area. This is one of the few places my parents will ever eat at nowadays when they come back into town because Cheng's quality, freshness of ingredients, and way of cooking is always so good and consistent. I appreciate also that they serve dim sum too! One of, again, the few restaurants still serving dim sum in our area. Right now, Cheng's is still only doing carry-out in the midst of the pandemic, which is fine by me because I often only come here to pick up to-go food. Whenever I'm feeling a bit homesick and missing good Chinese food, I will always find myself placing an order to-go from here. :) Love Cheng's, never change! read more

I've lived in Michigan for about a year now and if you're familiar with the ecosystem, Chinese food is not a strong suit for Michiganders, at least not on the bottom corner of the palm. Most places I've tried have been just variations of Panda Express, which there is nothing wrong with on most days. But when you're craving San Francisco quality chinese food, there's much left to be desired. Cheng's Restaurant is the first place I've had that's been able to compare. The meat dumplings were piping hot and especially crispy, the fried shrimp dumpling, the same! The shrimp rice noodles (cheng fun) were filling and oh that sweet soy sauce. A friend and I arrived shortly after they opened and were attended to right away. It was quiet at first but it eventually got really busy. Where I'm from, a reliable gauge of a restaurant's quality is whether the individuals who are native to the cuisine frequent the establishment. And this was no disappointment! If you're looking for panda express food, there are tons of places (Ping On, 1st Wok etc..), but if you want authentic Cantonese dim sum, look no further! read more

We ordered combination plates which were disappointing. The sweet and sour chicken had very little chicken in heavily battered balls. There was no pineapple or green peppers. The chicken fried rice had no chicken. The egg rolls were vegetarian and lacked flavor. The garlic chicken had hardly any chicken, maybe 1/4 cup. It had 3 cups of green peppers. There was no garlic flavor. The tea was cold. The service was quick. The ambiance was strip mall chic with some nice Asian accents. There were numerous Asian families there who shared their dishes, so we might return and not order the combination plates. read more

Still take out only, no dine ins. Solid chinese/dim sum restaurant in Michigan. I have to make quite a drive and drove pass a couple other dim sum restaurants to come here but it's worth it. I ordered online for pick up. There was a little line when I arrived waiting for their orders. Took awhile to pick up my order but it's family owned and most likely short staffed. Gotta be kind and more understanding to these small businesses! read more

Tons of free parking. Accepts cash and credit card. If you are looking for dim sum, this place seems to be a big hit with locals. All their dishes came out hot. Please note at the time, they didn't bring out carts. But rather they just bring out the dishes as they become ready. Our server was a bit pushy and making us order more food than expected. Not sure why though. The shumai is really good and their shrimp crepes are good too. They also have exotic items such as durian fried rolls which was not too bad. Their chicken feet had good flavor. They do have tons of tables here. Good for large families too. Just be sure to come early to avoid lines. The interior is nothing too fancy and is a good environment for social gatherings with family. read more

This is hit and miss. Definitely the worst Almond Boneless Chicken ever. Soups are just ok! Good egg roll

I LOVE the food (see previous review), but the place is NEVER on time. I always get a carry out and over the last year or so they continuously get later and later, however they STILL say 25-30 mins every fucking time. Today the young lady couldn't fucking figure out what I was describing even though I've had it there multiple times. House Won Ton soup - mixed veggies, pork, shrimp & chicken WITH WON TON NOODLES. She just couldn't understand me (no language barrier if that's what you're thinking btw). Then she told me 25-30 mins for my order to be ready. I PURPOSEFULLY came 45 later and I'm STILL waiting after 56 mins. FUCK this. Last time I'm coming here with my $150+ orders. **** MOTHERFUCKING UPDATE **** The #1 reason I come here is for the spicy shrimp with the shell on it. I drive 30 mins there, WAIT another 20 mins and drive back 30. I come home... NO FUCKING SHRIMP!!!! I FUCKING HATE THIS PLACE. I'M SO GOD DAMNED LIVID RIGHT NOW I'M SHAKING. read more

Really tough chicken. Sauce didn't stick. General tsos was just not it. Better options around.

Got the General TSO Chicken combo. The chicken was good and tasty although I shared with my mom and she thought it was too dry. The Fried Rice I thought was a bit dry and tasted a bit funny. Egg Roll was kinda bland. Overall I would go back again and try to substitute the Fried Rice for White Rice. read more
