I don't speak on things that I have no personal experience with. Every time I've been here, I would've rated them 5 stars without hesitation. I do carry out, but I've always been treated respectfully by the staff here, so I'm going to assume it's the same for dine in people. I could be wrong, but it's just an assumption based off my own experiences here. My issue this time, and this time only, is that the Dan Dan noodles which are supposed to have pieces of pork in it, was completely missing from my bowl. It had plenty of noodles and bok choy. As well as a huge heap of chili garlic oil, which I love. But no pork, no protein at all. It was a pretty good noodles and spicy soup bowl. But not Dan Dan. Which I don't understand even because I've had this several times and it's been great! Also, the noodles definitely leave something to be desired. They're not bad at all. But they're clearly a store bought, thin ramen noodle. I expect more from a restaurant like this. For example, Noodletopia in Madison Heights, now they know how to make noodles! They do it right in front of you even. They're thick and they have bite to them. That's how noodles should be done. And they've consistently made them the same way. Aside from the less than good noodles though...there should be no excuse to forget the pork in those noodles. That's practically what most people come to have! I'll chalk this visit up to just making a mistake. So I'll go again eventually. But I really hope I'm not wasting my money if another attempt, because I know just how good their noodles can be when the people making it are paying attention. I hope that I wrong and others line their noodles. But this visit,'certainly could've been better in my opinion. Which is meaningless of course...or should be at least.

It's very close to the former suburban showplace and located in a strip mall. There was availability in the shared parking lot. When we walked in, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the decor and layout of the restaurant. It was busy but only had to wait for a few minutes for them to get a table ready. There were seats at the bar which seemed like a good atmosphere if you chose to sit there. We sat by the window in a 4 top for just the 2 of us. My seat was comfy on a bench. There were many items on the menu that we wanted to try but asked our server for recommendations. My husband ordered wonton soup for appetizer and then Mongolian beef. I ordered the Thai basil chicken. We ate it all! Everything was flavorful and hot in temperature and served just at the right amount of pace. I also ordered the white flower cocktail, it was good and can't quite determine what part of it had a little kick to it! We ordered hot tea for our dessert, they certainly know how to make jasmine tea just right! Restrooms were clean and it's a cozy yet a little upscale vibe but not dressy.

Trash Food, Trash Service - Stay Away…read more Another so-called "highly rated" Asian restaurant serving up straight garbage. Let me save you the mistake I made. The food? Disgusting. The service? Even worse. I called to report the awful meal I received, and instead of any kind of accountability, the woman I spoke to told me it was my problem. No apology, no solution just pure attitude and blame-shifting. Classy. Let's talk about the food: * Sweet and Sour Chicken: A soggy, inedible mess. The chicken was drowning in sauce, so saturated the breading slid off like wet paper. Ever had meat slide out of mush? Now I have. Absolutely vile. * Crab Rangoon: Not crispy. Not even close. Rubbery, stale, and lazy. Like someone microwaved it and hoped no one would notice. * Egg Roll: Same story rubbery Zero crunch. Zero flavor. Zero effort. * Wonton Soup: Greasy, flavorless broth with gummy, overcooked wontons that tasted like they'd been soaking in hot water for hours. You'd get more taste chewing a napkin. I live less than two miles away, so don't even try to blame the drive. If your food can't survive a 5-minute trip, you shouldn't be in the takeout business. And when I asked to return the meal? I was told to "throw it in the trash" because they weren't offering a refund or credit. The only honest thing they said all night because that's exactly where this food belongs. Do yourself a favor skip this place. The food is trash. The service is trash. The entire experience was a waste of time, money, and appetite. They clearly don't care about quality or customers. Shameful.

I was…read moreactually out in Livonia, heading to a diferent Mexican place, but when I got there, it not only looked closed, but it looked like it was mostly a carry-out place. So, I decided to drive all the way out here because I have learned that trying to satisfy a craving with something different than what I really want doesn't work. It was an odd time -- about 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon -- when I arrived. The place is small, but it is very cheerfully decorated. The server was very friendly and helpful. He brought a basket of homemade chips and salsa as I sat down. After looking at all the options, I decided to be boring and I got the taco salad. It was very good, but as I was eating, I remembered seeing fried ice cream on their menu. I asked if they had it & he said absolutely. So, I stopped eating my entree & took it (and the chips) home and had the fried ice cream. It was SOOO worth it. they really did lightly batter the ice cream and fry it. (Unlike many place that don't actually do that.) It was served in a slightly sweet, lightly cinnamoned tortilla and topped with some chocolate sauce, whipped cream and maraschino cherries. If I lived closer & it hadn't been so hot outside, I may have ordered another one to take home!

China Garden in Wixom is hands down the best spot for classic, old school Chinese takeout. The food is always hot, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell it's run by a local family who takes pride in their cooking and service. Everything from the fried rice to the egg rolls hits the spot every single time. It's the kind of place that reminds you of how good takeout used to be simple, satisfying, and made with care. Definitely a go to for anyone craving real, delicious Chinese food in the area! read more

This is my husband's family's go-to Chinese food place in Wixom when we want a quick meal to be prepared. Every time, no matter how much food we ask for over the phone for takeout, it's "10-15 minutes." So that tells you the speed in which they cook! Taste-wise, the food is just average Chinese food. I love the shrimp and vegetables dish because it tastes fresh and healthy. My husband loves their orange chicken! read more
