My family's go to when we are in the mood for Asian food. Best Downriver spot for amazing take-out.

The staff is great! Willing to do alternations. Taste is on point & can give it spice.

Combo plate with fried rice. No egg, no bean sprouts, no green onion. Nothing. Rice and soy sauce. Generals Tsos chicken was excellent. But no broccoli. read more

Great food, good prices, extremely generous portions. I hope they can stay in business as long as I'm alive. From my family Shonghey gets as many stars as there are in the sky.f for read more

Just updating my review to comment on the negative Nellies implying that the restaurant must be producing bad food because they don't offer sit down service anymore. This has been a carryover from COVID days, which is pretty common w/ Asian restaurants now and as it's been reported, this has been due largely to the racist rhetoric by morons in this country since then. I don't like it either, but don't make assumptions and knock the quality of the food because of this. Their food is great. I highly recommend the Generals combo. read more

I go here every Friday. I absolutely love the food, love the service, get giant portions and it's not expensive.

First time trying this restaurant the food was fresh and tasted great, not expensive would recommend.

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant and I'm always ordering takeout when I'm back in town. I also usually order a bunch of eggrolls to freeze and take back to NC with me because they're the best. Michigan is the only state that has the bean sprout eggrolls; everyone else uses cabbage in their eggrolls. Yuck!! Right now you can only get carryout because no one wants to work; the dining room is closed until further notice. How are these job quitters getting their money?! You can only be on unemployment for so long. Bah!! Anyways, I've been frequenting this restaurant since I was a teenager and I've never had a bad meal. Everything is always excellent. read more

While I wish we could sit down again for dinner, the food has remained the same - and that's a great thing. Large portions, fast carry-out, and good service. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY, the food was disgusting and they do not do refunds. This food was paid for just to go straight in the trash. read more

Shong Hey - This was absolutely disgusting. When I asked for a refund she said they don't do refunds. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. - Chinese Near Me - Trenton, Michigan

Food was just ok. Order Sweet and sour chicken, the chicken was not crispy but soggy and the sauce was just ok. Service was very pleasant. Had take out. Give it a C. read more

I always liked this restaurant. It was my favorite Chinese place recently went there with a friend and they would not allow you to eat inside. I came to have dinner with my friend and visit and they wanted us to order our food and go so we went elsewhere. read more

I got the almond chicken and the meat was weird. Almost chewy. No choice of rice, as everyone gets a rice soaked in either soy sauce or some other condiment My husband hated the rice in his dish as well. It was supposed to be spicy, with pork. It wasn't spicy and the pork was unidentifiable. He could taste the onion, pineapple, corn and green pepper. The egg rolls were stuffed with mostly bean sprouts and the bottoms were soggy. This was our first and last time to eat here. Of course, everything is takeout, no dining in. We've had better food in the area than this place. read more

I started coming a few months ago after a friend recommend it. Very generous portions and we love their sweet and sour sauce. Egg rolls are delicious! Even better with a slight warmup in the air-fryer if you like it crispy since it tends to get a little soggy in the box. read more

I do love this place . I can't really give it anything above a 3 star due to the fact you can't eat in. The egg rolls are amazing and I love their food. Getting your food in foam containers spilling out in the bags suck. Also you never really get that fresh taste as it's sitting in a container on the ride home. It does change the flavor. The egg rolls will be soft by the time you get home as well. So eat those in the parking lot lol. Assuming they weren't steaming themselves while waiting for you to pick up your food. Hope this place opens up to dine in soon. read more

For many years, Shong Hey restaurant was my favorite Chinese restaurant. Unfortunately, The last two times I went there over a year apart. There's a sign in the door that says it's carry out only. When a sit down restaurant becomes a carryout restaurant it's typically indicative of serious problems with the restaurant. It's a real shame that a once fantastic restaurant has been reduced to a shadow of its former self. Don't go there! Don't order from there. I'm frankly shocked that it's still in business. To the owners, I would say this sell execution the restaurant to someone who knows how to run a restaurant. read more

Always a solid bet for Chinese food. Always consistent and good. One if ny favorite Chinese joints.

The food is always good and plentiful and reasonably priced. It is carry out only and usually ready within 10 minutes.

You know how it is when you've grown up eating at a restaurant, and you hold it up as the gold standard to compare against all others? ...but then new people try it (say, Ken), and they think its average. That's Shong Hey. I've eaten here for 25 years, and I love it. The best beansprout egg rolls, with homemade sweet (NOT plum) and spicy mustard sauces. The best Almond Chicken. The best Won Ton Soup. The best Fried Shrimp. White meat chunks for Sweet and Sour Chicken. Tasty, tender beef. Fab Yang Chow fried rice. Now, don't get me wrong, Ken likes Shong Hey, he just doesn't love it as much as I do. He does agree that the eggrolls are awesome. And he likes their version of General Tso's. (He'd probably rate it a 3.5, so I'm glad I didn't ask for his input on this review) My family has eaten in and taken out, and both work. The restaurant is very casual. Takeout business hops - quick, and we've never had a wrong or missing item in our orders. Large portions for not a lot of $$. read more

This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant but they have gone down the tubes over the last year or so. The pieces of chicken in our general tso's and sweet and sour were huge which resulted in the chicken not being fully cooked. That has happened a few times in the past but seems to be the way they prepare the chicken now and the new normal. The egg rolls had also been burnt due to being left in the deep fryer too long. This is very unfortunate because their food has a wonderful flavor, however the chicken could be prepped with a little more care. Furthermore, I don't understand why Chinese restaurants are the only restaurants not open for dine in post covid. I understand staffing is an issue across the board but I am only noticing this with Chinese restaurants at this point in time. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for approximately 35 years and have never been disappointed. Weather eating in or taking out, the food has always been consistently good. The staff is very friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend Shong Hey to anyone looking for Chinese food. Their service is quite fast and their food is very very good. read more

I was convinced to come here while visiting a friend. While I am a lover of food I did not enjoy anything I ordered. My friend convinced me that it was wonderful but unfortunately I did not agree. They serve mountains of food but the taste is simple not there. The fried rice was brown, no flavor. The chicken was cut too large and not tasty. The veggies were cut too big as well. And my friends dish was in the same brown gravy. I ordered the Szechuan chicken with fried rice. And she ordered the sesame chicken with fried rice. The eggrolls were greasy and hard and tasted like old cabbage. I did not post any pictures because I was trying to get out of there as soon as possible. I am so so sorry for this review but I did not enjoy it. read more

Stopped in for lunch today, my first time here. The restaurant is in the middle of a strip mall and doesn't really stand out. I was there about 1 p.m on a Saturday, and was the only person in the restaurant for most of the time I was there. Service was fast enough, but when I needed a minute to decide, the waitress stood there and waited rather than letting me peruse the menu. Prices were fair, about $9 for a plate of pepper steak, rice, small cup of egg drop soup and an egg roll. The soup was egg drop soup, hard to screw up, and hard to make amazing. The egg roll I'm sure was fine, but I didn't care for it. Though I don't care for any egg rolls so I can't really say it was bad. The pepper steak was average. Nothing stood out about it, but it wasn't bad either. Service was ok, they brought me my food and then left me alone. I was dining alone, so I was ok with that. I'd go again, but it's not a must visit either. read more

First time order. People were friendly and order was correct. First 2 dishes and egg rolls were enjoyed. Beef mushroom i was shocked to see they used canned mushrooms in this dish. First time ever saw this i was shocked. We will be back but stay away from mushroom dishes. read more

Just went to Shong Hey with my sisters. We realized we've been enjoying this Chinese restaurant for at least 40 years! It was all tasty, hot, great portions, and reasonably priced. My sister loves the egg fu young and says nobody else makes it like Shong Hey. Good job and thanks for being an icon in Trenton. read more

Shong Hey - Chinese Near Me - Trenton, Michigan

Best Chinese place ever. I get the Szechuan chicken. Usually never a long wait and a lot of food your money. Highly recommend. The egg drop soup and egg rolls are amazing also. read more

Chicken could be better at times. Aside from that this place is the bees knees. Their rice, egg rolls, and plum sauce are next level.

I love Panda Express. It's so yummy. And it has a decent selection and good quality for being what it is: Asian-American/Chinese fast food. Especially their orange chicken. I can't get enough and it pairs surprisingly well with their chow mien. Oh, wait. This is Shong Hey? Oh, my bad. The wife and I have been on the lookout for a chinese food place near us that doesn't taste like garbage and isn't Panda Express (my wife hates them both, despite my love for them both). So we walked in on a Tuesday night and I couldn't decide if I wanted the Orange Chicken or the Kung Pao Beef - the waitress (who was awesome by the way) said, "Why not both?" Great idea ... in theory. They didn't go well together, but the Kung Pao was worth the trip. The egg drop soup was par and the egg roll was pretty bomb, but I'm just glad I finally found a true chinese restaurant that serves decent entrees. My one gripe is everything north of the dining area: the public restrooms are bit yucky and we saw someone on staff eating in plain sight. I know that triggers some people; I thought it was a little tacky. But it's worth a try and I think I'm coming back! read more

Excellent wonton and special wonton soup. Love that egg rolls too. The food is always consistently good and the staff is friendly.

Nasty in a hurry no sweet and sour sauce for the crab ragoon and Almond chicken with the gravy and I told them NO gravy for the third time will not order again! Gravy is nasty and chicken is soggy not happy.. read more

Shong Hey - a plate of food - Chinese Near Me - Trenton, Michigan

I have grown up going to Shong Hey. I usually go in with my friend Jillian. It's kind of our tradition. We go there so often that the waitress usually just brings us our food. The food comes quickly and it's always in large portions. You will be eating it the next day unless you decide to have a midnight snack. I always get the sweet and sour chicken. It's great! Since I have been going there for so long, I am sad they changed their look. However, I know it's important to stay up to date. read more

Excellent food! I love their sweet n' sour chicken. They have very fast and friendly service and their carry out is excellent as well. You also get a ton of food for the price! read more

Went here on a few people's recommendation and was just not wowed like they said I would be . Perhaps I'll try it again and get something different. I ordered the chicken and broccoli which was way different than I normally get it had big hunks of onion and carrot and was in a white gravy not brown like at most other places , it was just merely meh nothing to make me wanna come back until I tried my wife's almond chicken. I will say I was impressed highly with that because around me it's hard to find just the right gravy to go with a good breaded chicken usually if ones good the other isn't but not here they were a smashing hit I loved that ....egg rolls I could smash a few they were pretty good and their hot oil was a nice surprise as well . I will try this place again with something different and hopefully be able to move this up to a five star review read more

Love love love this place, and have been coming here since I was a kid, 30 some odd years ago. My parents knew the original owners, and this place holds a special place in my heart. Many memories here.. the yo yo for 2 is my favorite. But almond chicken, subgum chop suey, all delicious. read more

Just tried this place a few weeks ago and the food is pretty darn good. Me and my family use to frequent Chopsticks inn over in Riverview but their quality and cleanliness took an absolute dump the last few years. I'll definitely get my "Americanized" Chinese food from this place moving forward. Last time I got food from Chopsticks inn there was a long black hair in it! read more

Love their vegetables and beef, almond chicken is pretty good also. Egg drop soup is quite yummy. I don't like that their crab Rangoon has chopped onion in it, but that's really my only complaint. Their service is consistent, and fast. We usually get take out rather than dining in, but their new renovations look great. And they're close! read more

Come here all the time, it's a local favorite in Trenton. Owners are real nice and my food is always good. Prices on combinations are reasonable to because they always hook it up. read more
