    Shrimp w/lobster sauce
    LaDawn M.

    I have always loved the food here. I went here a lot when dine in was an option. Carry out containers can get a little messy - maybe because they are so full, but they wrap them well and put them in a tightly tied bag

    yuck

    Overrated, over cooked and a waste of money. There food would be great to get rid of roaches and other pests. Disappointed in this burnt, dry almond chicken. After eating here I wont need a colon cleanse, but may need a special vaccine.

    Yum! So far never let down! The only thing is they have changed their hours so it's always standing room only now.

    Sweet and sour chicken. Sauce is thick

    Note to self: order one dinner plate for 2 next time! So yummy!! The atmosphere was hostile amongst the other customers for the wait time... but they don't skimp on quality

    Ask the Community - Sun China

    Is Sun China closed permanently? I know many restaurants closed during the Covid-19 shut down, I was surprised Sun China closed during that time due to most of their business being carry out anyway! Have called and seems phone is disconnected

    They are back open now

    I believe that it is the finest Thai establishment I could locate to date. Food was of fresh high…read morequality and quite tasty! I was a bit excessive when I ordered since I could not pass on a bubble tea! This was my first time having strawberry balls that I was not even aware of. It made the drink delicious. Their seaweed salad was not bad either. This was sufficient as a side dish to two people. The sushi was also delicious.

    Regarding Detroit's Shangri-La Chinese Restaurant:…read more I've eaten at this location for years. In fact, I've eaten at previous restaurants at that location even prior to Shangri-La opening there. The food at Shangri-La simply checks the Chinese Food box when I have a taste for it. Today, I decided to have a work lunch there, and sat with my laptop for a while, even after I was finished eating. The service was excellent (in comparison to my usual experience), and so my plan was to take good care of the waitress. I had never seen her before, and assumed her to be new staff. She returned to my table to check in with me at least three times. When waitress brought the bill, the amount seemed to be off. I studied the handwritten bill further, and realized there was a 20% tip added to my bill. This was a quandary for me because the $7 and something gratuity was less than I intended to leave her, but I was incensed with the idea that it had been added without my consent. I explained my concern to her, and she pointed to the desk where the manager (or owner) typically stands and stated that this was the restaurant's policy. Moments later, he arrived at my table and explained that, "some people come and they don't tip." His arrogant tone was odd to me because this person has seen me at least once every several months for years. I explained to him that this plan of his is a bad idea, but he didn't appear to care about my position. He mentioned that the policy is printed on the menu, however I ordered without looking at the menu. But, what was most disgusting was his response, "if you can't afford to pay a tip, you shouldn't come out to eat." His facial expression and body language exhibited years of old racial animosity and anxiety. I should mention, just prior to my leaving, a Black couple left the restaurant after disputing an issue with the same manager/owner. The subject of the dispute was not clear, but I did hear the gentleman explaining that he had been eating at this location, "for years," and didn't like how something "was handled." Finally, I come here to Yelp and survey the comments before writing my own, and here is another Black customer, from Los Angeles, protesting the manager/owner, "following her out to her car over a tip." So, there's the secondary issue on this policy. Not only are there folks who might not be able to afford a tip at any given time, but there is the right of customers to determine what their tip should be based upon the service they perceive the server provided. In my case, I tipped the waitress above and added gratuity. I needed for her to be clear that my concern had nothing to do with her. But, the manager/owner person left a horrible taste in my mouth - so much so that I threw my unhealthy leftovers in the garbage. Never again. This man's (unintelligent and likely racist) assumption that I could not "afford to tip" will be his last opportunity to be in conversation with me. I won't be back.

Should have removed before cooking. It had a slight unusual curry smell that was off putting for me. Rice was ok and the overall portion to cost ratio was good. Egg roll was lacking stuffing compared to other restaurants.

    I have been searching for almost a year to find my go-to Chinese place and this is it…read more The clincher? Their crab rangoon comes with 9 good sized pieces for $7.50. Now, that might still start a war if you have to share, but they are all for me. And despite how much I love them, even I can't eat that many at once. Which means enough leftover for the next day. They also have Coke products. I wish they had Dr. Pepper but at least it's not a Pepsi-house. I also like their packaging, they use the old school take-out cartons for the fried rice, a recyclable box for other things, and the rangoons come in a wax bag. So I don't have to feel like a jerk having to throw away a ton of styrofoam containers. I really like their pork fried rice. The chicken low mein is good, lots of nice pieces of chicken but almost no veggies and sometimes the noodles are a little overcooked. But it's all very consistent and reliable which is important. Easy offering and delivery via GrubHub, UberEats, etc.

This place is absolutely my vibe. The staff are fantastic, friendly, and very skilled at their jobs. Beverages were refilled, we were checked in with, and felt taken care of.

I had the pork belly tonkatsu, one of my sons had the catfish tonkatsu, and the other had the red curry. I absolutely recommend this restaurant, and will be returning very soon!

    My husband and I met friends here for dinner. Johnny Noodle King is located on Fort Street just…read moreoutside of Downtown Detroit on the way to Southwest Detroit. Hubby and I laughed at how many times we zipped past the restaurant without noticing it. My husband and I both ordered the Major Tom Khatsu, which has a coconut chicken broth base. The chicken katsu pieces were the perfect level of crispy without being heavily breaded. There was also a nice little kick to the dish, which made it so, so yummy. Our friends got the Shoyu ramen with pork belly, and the Corned Beef ramen. The Shoyu dish seemed to be more enjoyable. Though we stuck with water, cans of Faygo pop seemed to be the drink offerings - other than alcoholic beverages. Areas for improvement include the waiting. Johnny Noodle King is a small place, with a main dining area and then what seems to be a bar area attached. We initially waited by the door for our table along with another small group (we were a party of four). We were then asked to go to the bar area to wait so that it would clear the door, but found it interesting how we were asked to move but not the other group. Also, we were standing away from the doormat we were not obstructing anyone's movements. The wait was long, and we asked if we could order food to the bar area (as opposed to waiting for a table). We were told 'no', yet there was a table full of patrons who were eating. There was no notification system, so our friend had to keep going to the front to see if our table was ready. Don't get me wrong; 'hooray' to Johnny Noodle King for having such great business volume. However, they need a way to manage it so that people will not be put off. Once we were seated, we did have good service from our waitstaff, and the food was very good. My husband and I plan to return to explore more of the menu. Hopefully, we can pick a time of day when waiting won't be such a big issue.
