    Almond boneless chicken
    Laurie P.

    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

    Teriyaki udon noodles
    El B.

    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.

    Summer Palace is my go to Chinese in the Park. Always fresh good food. The staff is always friendly and kind. Is so nice to have quality Asian food in the neighborhood.

    Hunan Chicken-just ok
    Jess L.

    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.

    Michigan weather! Cold, wet, freezing... I don't feel like cooking tonight! This is my Netflix and chill spot. It's super clean, and the food is always hot and fresh. I love the general tso chicken as well the steamed brocolli. I typically pair with it fried rice. My husband always orders the seafood medley which is incredible. Great place for good clean cuisine!

    Singapore Rice Noodles
    Linny B.

    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.

    Of course this is through DoorDash.. IDK if ppl remember I…read morehad been looking for a Chinese restaurant, close authentic which is fried rice with egg and bean sprouts etc. I found this place and it was close to what I'm accustomed to. I had Generat Tso lunch special, came with chicken fried rice and egg roll, I also ordered pepper steak lunch special with white rice and egg roll. So the order is fried rice with chicken is included but other meat is extra $, not much though. They give you a lot but if you order the dinner special they give whole lot more. Lunch is enough you can eat half lunch other half dinner. Dinner the same but still have more for the next day too. Now the fried doesn't has egg and bean sprouts but I can get for a little more $, although I love that I don't get it, because I'm not rich and sometimes you realize I can do without plus I'm ordering through DoorDash. My food is always hot meaning it's made to order, my pepper steak is not running over plate, thank God! My pepper steak was full of green peppers, onions and steak, I didn't have to search for steak, it's right in front of face when you open the box and General Tso is not to spicy and overwhelm with sauce. Since going here, they haven't disappointed yet. For years I always drove passed this place and outside needs an upgrade but the parking lot was always clean, no trash ever, but I had my regular Chinese place till they closed, so I tried others and they was fake Chinese food, I hadn't good Chinese for at least ten years till I remembered this place, I read the reviews and ithad a 89% approval rating, so I decided to try it and this is my place, hopefully forever! Most Detroit people, I'm talking about born and rid here say " the Coney places are better in the most urban neighborhood"well apparently some places that much need is desired on the outside could be a hidden gem. Every review I read said throw out how the outside look! Ha!

    This has been a wonderful restaurant for my friends and family for decades - BUT NO MORE! I will…read morefollow this review by contacting the food sanitation department. Today, I was served rancid wonton soup KNOWINGLY! I honestly understood that sometimes you may mistakenly mix good with bad when things get tight or you are just tired. But the woman who is always at the counter refused to hear me, smell the rotten food or accept responsibility. She asked what do you want me to do, give you your money back. I said actually, I would just like a fresh order. She was rude from the moment she realized I had returned. I was trying to speak in a way that no one heard me, so as not to draw attention - thinking she would replace the order. Instead she spoke louder and louder but refused to smell the rotten food. When I offered to open it for her, she screamed you don't have to open it. Just taste it, you're the only one who complained. I said there is no way I could eat something that smells like this, please smell for yourself. I opened the container- she got more upset but still refused to smell it... I slid the smelly lid to the container under the area where you would put the money and left the rancid soup on the counter and told her I will never come here again. I was in shock, I phoned my Dad and told him. I know how yummy the food is regularly. I was just there a week ago and ordered the same thing. Initially, I felt bad for the owner because I told my brother, who was with me... they're probably broke. But she turned this situation into something totally different. It became apparent that she knew before she gave it to me, that the food was no good. Otherwise, she would have just smelled the bad and made a fresh batch. I'm so upset, love their food. We would go almost every time we went to Belle isle. But if this is the way they're serving meals now, they should be shut down. That food smelled so bad, there was no way you could've heated it and not known. I hope this protects our community. Just like I told everyone to come to this restaurant because of how good the food was. I now warn you NOT TO GO ANYMORE because of how literally foul they are! If you've ever experienced these conditions, please say so. Thank you
