The Pointes have nothing close to authentic Chinese food, so Summer Palace is one of the few places to get any sort of Chinese food at all. Summer Palace has standard American style Chinese food in large portions. The Singapore noodles were good, although I would have liked more egg, spiciness, and meat and seafood (such as shrimp and chicken) in the meal rather than being an add-on option. I prefer the chicken egg foo young dinner, which comes with an egg roll and rice. For an additional $2.50, I chose to have fried rice. There is a large amount of rice and egg foo young topped with gravy. It's decent for American Chinese, filling, and is enough to feed several people. Not a bad takeout place considering there aren't many diverse food options in Grosse Pointe. read more

Summer Palace - Outside - Chinese Near Me - Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan

Unfortunately my takeout experience with Summer Palace left my taste buds disappointed and confused. I suppose I took a gamble ordering a Thai dish when this seems like more of a Chinese restaurant, but the Tofu Pad Thai was not great. The tofu was very watery and gross, and the noodles were too spicy. We also tried some chicken dishes which were mediocre. Finally, the egg rolls lacked flavor and did not have the best texture. I think we'll need to continue exploring Asian options in this area next time we are in town. read more

Perfect little take out only shop - a little door on the Beaconsfield side of a building facing Kercheval. BBQ Pork fried rice had generous amount of red crusted bbq pork bits I enjoy. Crab Rangoon order was good, wrappers were an unusual yellow color that I was not accustomed to, but didn't change the product. They were delicious. One star lost because the egg rolls were not enjoyable. Filling was dense, they were greasy, and had some inside stringiness. I should've ordered the spring rolls. It was take out only, and a sweet young lady was ready to ring it all up and get me out - fast service. Everyone including phone order taker were easy to understand. Atmosphere is just what you would expect for a take out place. Tiny but serviceable. Will order from them again. read more

Summer Palace - BBQ Pork Fried Rice and Crab Rangoon - Chinese Near Me - Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan

We love getting carry outs from here! Portions are huge & fairly priced so we always split. Our favorite entree is the sweet & sour chicken. It's cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I'm not a fan of egg rolls but my boyfriend enjoys them from here. I always enjoy their spring rolls & egg drop soup. Definitely get the crab Rangoons as well! read more

I had high hopes for this little takeout place in Grosse Pointe Park, but my hopes were dashed with this meal. I ordered the Almond Chicken dinner which came with an egg roll and shrimp fried rice ($3 extra for shrimp), and I also ordered egg drop soup to go with my dinner. The soup was ok, the egg roll was decent, the rice was good, but the chicken dish was terrible. I saw that pale-looking gravy and knew this wasn't going to be a good time. The breading was awful, too. Almond boneless chicken isn't a spicy dish, but this was incredibly bland. Service was fine, and there's not much atmosphere because it's just a takeout place. Parking is on the street and can be tricky to find on a busy evening in the Park. YMMV read more

Summer Palace - Almond boneless chicken - Chinese Near Me - Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan

The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. The order was ready when scheduled and the staff was gracious.

Horrible! I've given this place multiple chances and it is horrible. The egg rolls had some kind of liquid in them that just flowed out and were flavorless. The almond boneless chicken? Deep fryer oil clearly old, instead of the breading being golden brown was zombie white and flavorless, sauce was pretty much corn starch and water no flavor. Steamed dumplings where this weird orange yellow color as opposed to the white I have always seen them. Flavor was just ok. I threw out 1 1/2 egg rolls out of two and 2/3 rds of the boneless chicken. The only thing I kept was the rice and soy packages. Never ever again! I've given them multiple chances and they disappoint every time! read more

Fresh food. Great place for carry out. Wide variety of choices. Reasonably priced and ready quickly.

I live near the restaurant and order carry out once every few weeks or so. I usually enjoy the food and the service here, but last time was not so good. I try to order something different each time I get food from summer palace. About a week ago, I placed an order for the teriyaki udon noodles. It was ready quick. I took it home and opened it to find a sea of sauce! So much sauce that it splashed all over! So much sauce that I was left with a quart of it after I finished the entire entree. So much sauce that the solid food was soggy and too sweet. read more

Pretty good, loved the chicken fried rice and orange chicken! Yummmmmmmm would definitely return and get it again

Not great. Not bad. Would stop by if I needed a quick Chinese fix since it's fast and close. I got the Hunan chicken. I asked for extra mushrooms, as it usually comes with them, but they don't serve mushrooms. Thought that was a little odd. I got the combo, which came with an eggroll. The eggroll seemed homemade and was very good, definitely the best part of the meal. Only downside was the eggroll was only half full. Overall, pretty average and not a ton of flavor. Not a place to write off, I'll give them a second shot and update. read more

Nothing amazing - just standard Chinese dishes you've had 100 times before served hot fast and cheap. General Tsaos and egg foo yong are somewhat above average and they can take care of huge orders in usually about 20 minutes. Grosse Pointe is full of mediocrity as far as dining but this place is always cheap and reliable. Take out only, NOT on Doordash, parking situation is annoying. Small & hard to find. read more

Solid neighborhood American-style Chinese food at a reasonable price. Food is always tasty and fresh. We're not a huge fan of the flavor-profile on the egg rolls, but that's more of a taste preference than a real complaint. The staff is very friendly and pick up time given is always accurate. read more

Very good in service and the whole crew works very hard and at the end they took care of everything like cleaning also the owner Mr charan jeet works very hard to make sure that everything goes very smoothly anytime u ask he helps u right away always recommend Summer Palace for ur event they did everything for us read more

This is the GPP Go to Chinese Spot. I have gone here since I was a wee-bit kid. The food is consistently decent, but nothing special. I didn't know what good Chinese was until I was introduced to Trizest in Sterling Heights/Warren, that's the best Chinese I have been to as of today. I have yet to find anything better. read more

Eh It's ok ig, but they fried rices is among the worst I've ever had an there's really not much flavor in any dish I've had there. no seasoning!! this place is just ok, but definitely not great . However , it is fairly cheap and as someone who can't afford pricey meals , this is a decent place to stop and grab some food with my broke friends . read more

After several visits since their renovation, it was time to provide a review here on Yelp. In short, hell yeah. Summer Palace has stepped up their game and deserves a higher score to reflect that. Here's a review of what our house has tried: Japanese Style Fried Rice - the garlic and butter in this dish is no joke; straight up delicious. So much flavor it is our go-to now over Chinese style Japanese Teriyaki Undon - udon noodles with great vegetables and loads of tasty sauce. Probably one of my favorite dishes from here. Singapore Rice Noodles - a thin rice noodle with light chopped vegetables (carrot, green pepper, onion), egg, roast pork and shrimp with a yellow curry sauce. Sauce would be an exaggeration, more like seasoned. Spice temperature would be medium. Overall this is an excellent tasty dish but since my brain wants to like spicy but my mouth says screw you, sadly I probably won't be getting this dish again. General Tso's Chicken - this dish is pretty good but note it hasn't changed. Lightly breaded in a sweet and savory sauce. I think it is great, my partner thinks it's too sweet. Garden Roll - shut up and take my money. I love vegetable rolls but not a fan of the real stuff. For those out there want to participate in the sushi craze but just can't stomach it, this is for you! Most vegetable rolls can have too much of a seaweed taste going on but not you Garden Roll! You have all the fancy presentation and all the flavor. Note, this is not at all spicy. That little chili pic on the menu actually belongs on the Singapore noodle. Tempura Hawaiian Roll - Yum! What a fantastic combination of pineapple, cream cheese, avocado and jalapeño. The outside of the roll is tempura giving it a perfect crunch. Half of the rolls were not at all spicy while the other half had some bite. That is the the risk you take with jalapeños though. Would definitely order again. read more

Finally! I've found my go to Chinese restaurant on the east side of Detroit. To be honest,I've lived around the corner from this place for a year but due to my work schedule I was never able to eat here. Plus I read and heard so many mix reviews I wasn't in any rush,not to mention when I'd drive past it looked like it wasn't very welcoming. But they closed down and remolded and I had a week off of work with a few extra bucks when they reopened 2 days before I went to work. Nice big CLEAN picture window let's you see clear to the kitchen in the back. Walked in and was greeted respectfully and promptly. Bright lights are a must for me in a restaurant and they have them in spades. Very clean and I could smell nothing but good fresh food being cooked. My first choice was almond chicken. I can't lie,this is the best almond chicken I've ever had. Usually people put the gravy on the chicken which isn't bad,but they put your gravy on the side so that your able to see how FRESH your chicken is fried. I was able to tell it was fresh grease when I opened my container and smelled it. They also have a sushi bar but I must admit the orange chicken was delicious as well. Very tasty. They also give you the options of white rice. Almond cookies where tasty. It's a small sit down place so you may wanna order to go. read more

The food taste SO GOOD! Absolutely LOVE them!! I will definitely recommend my friends to eat here! I heard that summer palace reopened couple of days ago. They have sushi now, which they didn't have before. The food were not expensive, and they were very TASTY!! I ordered my rolls there, but you can also place your order by call. I got Grosse Pointer Roll, Dynamite roll, Beacons Field Roll and California Roll. They were crispy and fresh. The tempura shrimp tasted SO GOOD! We really enjoyed the food here. I definitely will come try the Chinese food next time. I was also surprised their environment. The restaurant has nice and decent decoration, it's clean and tidy. You can see how they make the food. The staff there were also very nice and polite. I didn't wait long. They had my food ready quickly, which made me happy and had my food freshly. Highly recommend to come eat here, their good food made me a good day today! read more

As an outsider to the GPP food scene I am surprised this restaurant was rated so high. The hot and sour soup was very good however the combination plates for lunch I do not recommend. The food was not fresh. The fried rice tasted like it had been warmed up from a couple days prior. Portions are huge. read more

A nice neighborhood spot, and the recent remodeling has given the space some excellent and needed refreshment, with an emphasis on fresh white tones. This is a very convenient spot for me, as I live nearby, so I recently gave them another try, and found the food to be serviceable although overly sauced and also on the large portion side. I ordered a noodle dish with some chicken added and found very few pieces of meat. I will probably come again once in awhile, primarily because this is likely the only take-out place in the vicinity that stays open past 7pm, but wouldn't rush here. read more

Love this place!!!! Beef n broccoli and lo mein noodles are always a family hit at my house!!!!

Best Chinese in GPF/GPC/GPP. We love getting the combos as they are large enough size for two meals. We usually order the chicken with steamed vegetables and general tsos. Last night we tried the lo mein with chicken and it was phenom. Might become a new favorite. Don't waste your time with any of the other Chinese to-go places in the area! Enjoy Summer Palace. read more

Keeps getting worse. Last night I ordered almond boneless chicken and spring rolls (2 come with the order) for pick up, and was told 25 minutes. Got there 30 minutes later and waited in line for another 10 minutes. When I got my food home, I had 1 egg roll (not 2 spring rolls) and a box of fried chicken and a cup of gelatinous bland brown gravy. The gravy was so thick that it actually resembled jello. No lettuce, no almonds, no flavor of almonds. The chicken was over cooked. The egg roll was soft and there was a pool of grease in the bag...and I wanted spring rolls, so that was doubly disappointing. I'd have gone back to have it corrected, but they couldn't even handle the orders they already had; people waiting in line we're joking about how their orders are never correct. 0 stars and I will never come back here again. read more

Gotten food here many times before and it's always been pretty good. Call in a to-go order for some sushi today and come to find out they only offer sushi a few times a week and only for a few hours a day. Very disappointing and none of is mentioned on the menu. Will not be ordering from here anymore. read more

This was a pleasant surprise for me, I ordered the sesame chicken combo and it was delicious. It's hard to find good Chinese food in the metro Detroit area. The egg rolls were great very flavorful but the rice & gravy was vaguely seasoned which wasn't a problem a little soy sauce couldn't settle. They don't sell sushi anymore besides that I will return here again & again. read more

Summer Palace - Sesame Chicken Combo. Delicious - Chinese Near Me - Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan

Eek! Methinks not! It was not good. I feel kind of bad for giving a place only 1 star. I think it could get 4 stars for quickness and speediness; however the order was not correct, the sauces were so liquefied and everything tasted "off". Like reallllly off. Not sure what was in the eggrolls...looked like shredded beef actually (which is typically NOT in an eggroll...sooooo, not sure what it was). I was so sad, too.... as I was really looking forward to a decent meal. We had tried this place close to 10 years ago & thought we would give it a go ahead since I really couldn't remember why we didn't like it. read more

I have been looking for a good Chinese food place for the 3 years I've lived in the area and tonight the quest reached it's happy ending! Garden Roll - I love sushi but have gotten sick from ordering from new places so this time I decided to play it "safe" and just order one veggie roll, to see what Summer Palace was working with. I tried a piece in the car...then another and then I pulled out the menu to plan my next visit haha. I told my bf regardless of how the food tasted I would be back to try a few more rolls. Szechuan Chicken Combo - SO FULL OF FLAVOR!! I have tried this same dish at a few places around town and have always wished I ordered something else. Not this time. The ingredients tasted so fresh (especially the ginger) and perfectly cooked. Chicken was moist and veggies still had the right amount of "crunch" to them. General Tso's Chicken Combo - I asked my bf to give me a description of his meal for the people of yelp, he smiled with a mouth full of chicken, chewed and swallowed and said "write two thumbs up all in caps, they'll know what that means". So, TWO THUMBS UP!! Egg Roll - Bean sprouts instead of cabbage, just how we like them. Location/Service - I think they have recently remodeled and it looks great! It's clean and bright inside, always a good sign. The 3 individuals that we saw were very polite. We ordered inside and waited about 15 min which went by super fast as we sat by the window and watched the people walking by with their dogs. Such a great little neighborhood to be located in. read more

First, let me state that the portion of General Tso's Chicken that I received here was simply massive. I had the entrée (just the chicken and some white rice), not the combo (added fried rice and egg roll constitute the combo), and I received enough in the carry-out box to feed two of me. Which means it was a quantity large enough to feed three normal people. Quite a bargain in terms of size. Second, when I started this particular epicurean journey today, I wanted General Tso's Shrimp, not General Tso's Chicken, but this restaurant doesn't offer it. Even though they offer plenty of shrimp dishes. And, I found this perplexing, to say the least. Couldn't you just quick-fry the shrimp you have in the same sauce, and then, voila, you have General Tso's Shrimp? When I made this suggestion to the woman that took my order, she simply replied, very quickly and somewhat tersely, "No, we don't do that". Well, okay, then. Subject closed. Third, whether you order the entrée or the combo, the General Tso's Chicken does not come with broccoli. A little unusual, but hey, I can splash out extra for some broccoli. So, I did. My order came out around $12.60, give or take a few pennies. And what did I get? I got a lot of chicken with several small broccoli florets in a sauce that was merely between OK and good. The chicken-to-broccoli ratio was way off, with the broccoli portion suffering in this instance. I guess they just don't think broccoli should be with General Tso's Chicken, and they were trying to save me from myself. Who knows? The sauce was more sweet than hot, and I like at least an even balance. I've noticed over the years I've been ordering this dish, that in places with a large ethnic Chinese population, i.e., San Francisco, Los Angeles, NYC, Vancouver, Toronto, China (well ,HK and Taiwan) itself, etc., the sauce used in General Tso's is spicy, sometimes devilishly hot, and the dish comes festooned with peppers. This is the way that I was introduced to General Tso's, and this is the way I love General Tso's. As you get into other parts of the U.S. and Canada, the sauce tends to get dumbed down and loses it's punch. It's really dumbed down here. Additionally, my preference is that whatever the General Tso's sauce is poured over, the meat of the dish should be slightly crispy, not a soft, gooey blob. The chicken pieces in this entrée did not have a crisp texture to them. The chicken, however, tasted fresh and seemed pretty high quality. I'd go here again, but I'd order General Tso's with twice as much broccoli, and ask them to make it hot this time. That might be the ticket. read more

My new go to Chinese restaurant. Been here a number of times during COVD. Food is great and so is the staff

This place is atrocious. The food is disgusting, and some combination of over or undercooked, greasy, poorly seasoned, loaded with msg, and overpriced. The staff is always friendly, but that's the best I can say about this place. It manages to survive because a good number of the locals simply don't know what good, well made Chinese food is supposed to taste like. Those who do don't eat here. read more

My husband and I have ordered from Summer Palace a few times, and a consensus has been reached: never again. I'll start with the good: they deliver to our home even though we live in Detroit. I wish I could say the same of other Grosse Pointe businesses (ahem, Lunchbox Deli) that operate two blocks from our home on Mack Ave.and literally FACE Detroit. Gah. I digress. Anyway- Summer Palace is further in Grosse Pointe Park, and they deliver. Also, the service is usually pretty darn friendly. That always makes the 2 star review a toughie. I hope they can take this as constructively as possible. So, I found a menu online at Allmenus because they don't have a website- so be sure to ask how much everything is when you order it,or else you'll be stuck with a $50 Chinese delivery dinner for two. Food wise, we settled on a bottle of Coke, Crab Rangoons, Hot & Sour Soup, Ma Po Tofu, and House Special Chow Mei Fun. Overall, the highlight was the bag of Crab Rangoons - not too hard to mess up deep fried imitation crab and cream cheese ;-) The Hot & Sour soup was very salty - I don't believe they use MSG because I normally get a bad reaction to high amounts of MSG, but man, it was super salty and hard to enjoy. The Ma Po Tofu was okay, but again, very salty and otherwise lacking in flavor. I also have to ask if they might consider an upgrade from their Styrofoam packaging - it is incredibly messy and flimsy when they fill it to the brim. Overall, the taste of the Ma Po was lacking - there was a hint of the tingly Sichuan peppercorn flavor, but the tofu was hardly poached. The House Special Chow Mei Fun was not overly salty, but the shrimp tasted like the depths of the ocean - not fresh, and the un-fresh taste overwhelmed the entire dish. I had to ask the woman taking my order how much it would be, and since we were very hungry, we paid the $43 + tip for our meal. I asked for a copy of the receipt when she delivered the food, and she begrudgingly showed me a handwritten, non-itemized slip of paper. We won't be eating at Summer Palace anymore, but the reviews seem otherwise positive. So, perhaps it's a matter of supply and demand - but Summer Palace can do better, much like any business. read more
