After craving Chinese food all day, we ordered takeout from here and it really hit the spot. I got the General Tso's Chicken combo, which came with fried rice and an egg roll. It was great. The chicken was perfectly fried and was definitely white meat. The sauce was tangy with a little more spice than I was used to for this dish, but it was yummy. I also got a small egg drop soup, which was good too. It didn't have any peas or carrots in it, and I was thankful for that. No issues with the service or anything else. They did forget to include a spoon for my soup, which was a little annoying since we had it delivered to a hotel and didn't have kitchen access. But not a big deal overall. Highly recommend if you're looking to satisfy a classic Chinese takeout craving like I was! read more

Top China One - 89. General Tso's Chicken combo with fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Worst egg rolls ever. Had the food delivered and the bag was filled with grease. Threw the whole order away. read more

This spot is conveniently located on Woodward Ave near the sports arenas. A colleague and I decided to try their lunch specials this afternoon. The food is decent as far as a neighborhood spot goes. The gravy is a little salty with the egg foo young patties. Our order was ready in 10 minutes and came with condiments and fortune cookies. read more

Good service. Food is mid. Could be worst though. I've never seen sesame chicken this color.

The food is really good, don't let the looks scare you away! The customer service is wonderful. Very kind people.

Best wonton soup I ever had hands down. Made it feel like home my first time ordering! I was under the weather and went searching for some wonton soup, glad I came across the alluring but yet aesthetic restaurant. Will order again soon! read more

Literally a hole in the wall restaurant. Close to the Vietnamese restaurant on the block, same side. If you don't pay attention, you'll miss it. Service was friendly and food was delicious! Got so much food for my buck. Barely made a dent in my lunch platter and I was full. If you're a rice person, they use a thicker rice, but food was packed with flavor. Recommend for quick lunch or big dinner! Also, I walked to the restaurant, can't remember if there was parking out front but theyre located on WW so park at your own risk. read more

prioritizing orders that have been called in and not paid for over orders that have been paid for is wild to me. has happened almost every time i've gone in. nobody is trying to wait 15+ minutes for a paid order in that broke down igloo of what y'all call a store front, absolutely unacceptable. read more

Incredible flavor Mongolian beef and great pork dumplings!!! Excellent food. The lady at the register was screaming in Chinese at the guys in back cooking behind the curtain. I'm not sure exactly what she was saying but it must've been something like "make the best damn Chinese food in Detroit right now." It was great! read more

I just have to say it was fun speaking Chinese to the kids of the owner, while they didn't understand they were eager to please the guests! The food was good, but I wish they had a few really authentic dishes!! I wish I could find a place that serves KungPao Chicken 宫保鸡丁 the way it's made in Beijing! I will definitely return to this place. read more

I left one review earlier but I notice I receive an egg roll plain.My nephew claims he called over the phone our order, my egg roll was plain, I ask him to get me a shrimp egg roll.Service he said was good place appeared to be clean. read more

Very good portion size, great price, and tasted really good! I got the almond chicken!

If I could give a 0 rating I would. I ordered crab ragoon today and you can tell they were old at first glance. I still attempted to eat them but they tasted like they dropped them in grease to make them seem like they just cooked them. Very nasty! Will not order from them ever again read more

First order from Top China One was tasty and harder to decide how much to save for next meal! Singapore Mei Fun with noodles, good amount of veggies with shrimp, krab, beef and chicken. The spice level is very nice! Love the curry in it!! read more

The food here is amazing. I love the customer service as well. The husband and wife that owned the place are great people. I owned the tire shop not too far from this place and we always get food from here. read more

This place hasn't stopped operation since COVID began, but their operation could use some work. We called ahead and placed an order for pick up. The worker said that it would be 20 mins, so we arrived 25 mins later (to give some extra time). When we arrived, it was packed and there were people waiting outside (there isn't much standing room inside and people weren't socially distancing themselves inside). When we finally got up to the cash register, they asked us what we ordered and were yelling at us to yell our order to them through the protective plastic they have up everywhere. Basically, there's no point in calling ahead because we had to wait for our food and you pretty much place your order when you arrive. Not very organized. The time it took from placing the order to receiving it, took about 1 hour (35 mins of that was at the establishment). As for the food, it was delicious! My crab ragoons were cold when I got them, but I was so hungry that I didn't care. The general tsos was a great portion and tasted great! I might try this place again during lunch time when it may not be as busy. read more

Top China One - Outside - Chinese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Just came here for the first time today bc our favorite hole in the wall Chinese food spot is closed now due to COVID. Not many places offer General Tso tofu but this one does... We were so pleased!! Portions are hefty. The shrimp egg roll was massive. They're doing a great job with social distancing, and gave me hand sanitizer after I signed my carry out receipt. We'll definitely be ordering here again. read more

Well, So today 4/16/2023 I wanted so chinese food. I went to Top China One firstly because the restaurant I wanted to go to was closed, Top China is by my house. I walked in and someone said, "May I help you", but I didn't see anyone. Well long story short, it was a boy seemingly 7-8 yrs old. I looked through the small space of the window that wasn't covered by menus and paper and the adult male I'm assuming his father was shooshing the boy back to the front to take my order. At the end of the day I ordered low mein and pineapple chicken. The chicken was dry, he gravy that I also purchased taste greasely and the low mein had NO favor. I called to explain the situation and was immediately met with aggression , " YOU GET NO REFUND, YOU CAN"T HAVE SAMPLE, hollering and screaming. Hung up on me. WORSE PLACE EVER DON"T DO IT AND NOW MY STOMACH IS KILLING ME. read more

This item is chicken egg foo young. The food was hot and very filling. The location was close by location. The staff was friendly and finally the cost was super reasonable. read more

Gross. I was working in midtown an should have picked from any one of my favs but I had a taste for Chinese so I gave this a try. The rice was mushy and flavorless, Not fried- just boiled with some type of brown sauce that should have been soy. The chicken had a moldy taste in the meat. At least the gen TSO sauce had a nice flavor read more

I don't know, maybe it was the happy's pizza at 2am the night before, but I didn't live the way I felt for a few days after eating this. Tasted okay at the time. read more

Delicious food and friendly service! I had the general Tso chicken. Hot and fresh! So glad I stopped by! read more

Top China One - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

5 stars for the food and service, but the 7 year old running the register threw me off a bit.

Food is not good , I ordered egg foo young and fried rice , wouldn't order again maybe if I were starving

I just got delivery from this place. We got the Hawaii chicken wings with fries, bourbon grill chicken, general Tso chicken, and the Singaporean noodles. We got our food in 50mins from placing our order. I wouldn't order delivery again, since it took a bit long. The Beau really liked the bourbon chicken, but I thought it was really sweet. The Hawaii chicken was juicy and good, but way to much sauce. General Tso chicken was standard. The biggest disappointment was the Singaporean noodles. I don't know if this is their take on dish, but it was lacking in shrimp, more flavor, and authenticity I was looking for. Also, I was pretty peeved that they forgot the fries for my chicken wings. I didn't bother to even call and say something, because it wouldn't have made a difference. All in all, it was decent. I wouldn't do delivery, but maybe takeout. read more

My favorite Detroit chinese! If you read through a lot of the reviews of chinese restaurants there is one common theme- its dirty. Not this place. Im not saying that its a five star restaurant with fancy white swan napkins but I also don't want to run away when i enter the place. To truly explain the four stars I will admit that I am an avid fan of Chinese/ American food. This place will give you everything you expect and crave from bread-fried chicken and msg sauces. The prices are great soon. Whether you're studying late or too tired after work to cook this is a great place to turn. read more

Top China One - Chinese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I've been eating here for the past year since moving to the Downtown area and this has become my favorite. I am not sure if the gentleman's name but he always remembers me each time I call, has the food ready QUICKLY and the prices are great for the amount of food you receive. I pass up two other Chinese locations which are closer to me just for his food. Plus with COVID-19 you are able to call when you are outside and the food is passed right through the window. This is great especially because the parking situation is not ideal. Keep it up sir! read more

For the price this is A LOT of food! usually too much for the two of us. It's tasty, its inexpensive, and fast. The pick up process is a bit confusing due to the cover restrictions but other than that its a solid Chinese food location. read more

This is definitely a hole in the wall. I order two dishes and 2 soups. Soups were OK, nothing to write home about. Ordered almond chicken but got some sesame chicken dish instead. Not what I wanted at all. The shezuan chicken dish was good, nice vegetables. Fried rice was basic fair. Egg rolls were a joke 2 tiny things they call egg rolls. And the were served cold. But were deep fried prior to purchase, but felt refrigerator cold when I got home. 2 stars, bad location, terrible safety shield, using generic winteration plastic thin and just floating mixed with some painting translucent 0lastic sheet. Everything looks shady and cheap. Hard to understand because they have some speaker system but the young lady has terrible accent and very hard to understand what she was saying. Service time was decent, this is a take out joint. If ur r looking for Chinese dive food then this is ur place, more like an after bar joint if they r open that late which I doubt. But in a pinch not too bad. Would I recommend maybe not. Try elsewhere for better atmosphere. And better prepared food. This was a decent spot about 10 years back, but not the same. Probably won't be back. read more

This is probably the worst Chinese food I've ever had! I have given them several attempts and they are consistently bad. (However, the won-ton and hot and sour soup is good). The chicken always has grizzle which makes me wonder what I am eating. My standards are not that high, but this is the worst!! read more

Came in late at night and ordered the house special friend rice , wonton soup, bean curd house with rice. After ordering we waited about 10 to 16 minutes tops and got our food. They cooked it upon ordering and it's fantastic. It's going to be a bit oily and very juicy but that's what chinese food is. For the price you pay, it tastes amazing. Don't expect it to feel and taste like a fifty dollar meal. For a quick bite that's cheap this is definitely a place to go. Also, whether they use MSG or not, there is a common misconception that it is extremely bad and unhealthy for you. Do some research and you'll find that it's not the case. In fact, it's in many popular american brands and chains add MSG to their food if you look closely enough at the ingredients. Tl;dr: Quick service Cooked fresh Tastes great Cheap American style chinese food MSG in moderation isnt bad for you. read more

Not bad for your basic comfort chinese food. Ordered the Sesame Chicken and sweet and sour shrimp. Both were good, especially the egg roll that came with it. Only complaint is that the fortune cookie was really stale. Other than that, i would order here again. read more

My wife called to order food to Children's Hospital as my son is having brain surgery tomorrow and wanted Chinese food before he couldn't eat...The man who answered the phone was extremely rude and kept cutting my wife off...We ordered 3 dinners ...After over an hour after ordering ( mind you they are 1/2 mile from the hospital) the delivery driver shows up with 2 dinners....I call the restaurant back and the same man tells me he don't care that he only took down 2 orders and that it took over an hour because he had 6 orders call in at the same time...I will never order from this place again and will warn everyone I know in the area to avoid them.... read more

Downtown Detroit suffers from a lack of quality Chinese carryout, with most spots barely passing the edible test. Top China One is the exception. The food is fresh, fast and consistently good. The sauces are above average, with the exception of the sauce they use for the sesame/orange/general tso. Avoid these dishes and you'll have a good experience. The fried rice is okay but not great, still better than average for the city. My favorite dishes are the Thai Chicken (fried and spicy), Hunan Beef or Chicken (stir fry with garlic brown sauce), Singapore Rice Noodle (rice noodle combination with curry), Almond Boneless Chicken (all white meat, great gravy) and the Moo Go Gai Pan (Chicken and mixed veggi tables in white wine sauce). Do yourself a favor and upgrade to a shrimp egg roll and get a cup of wonton or hot and sour soup. read more

**DO NOT ORDER THIS PLACE, THEY DONT CLEAN THEIR SHRIMP & THE SERVICE IS HORRIBLE** I wish there was a NEGATIVE star rating for this place. I placed a delivery order & asked for Veggie Lo Mein but they sent me Veggie fried rice, when I called to have the correct item I ordered brought back to me they told me "the computer says veggie fried rice & i will charge u $4 to bring u lo mein". I'm like "you are going to charge ME because you messed up MY order?" and the man had the nerves to repeat "the computer says veggie fried rice" when I said the computer says whatever YOU put in there but that's NOT what I ordered "and he told me "I dont care, I will charge you $3, that's it" Then to top it off, the fried shrimp still have poop veins in them. I WILL NEVERRR ORDER HERE AGAIN & SUGGEST THAT ANYONE WHO VALUES THEIR MONEY NOT ORDER. WORST PLACE EVER!!! read more

Top China One - DIRTY SHRIMP FROM TOP CHINA 1 ON WOODWARD - Chinese Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

For those of us who work in Midtown, it's hard to beat the convenience factor. Plus, they're open well into the evening. Just don't expect anything amazing. But that's not why you get food at a place like this right? You just want quick and cheap Chinese food. You're craving that MSG kick from the chow mein or that General Tso's chicken with too much sauce or the greasy fried rice that's a little dry. Look, it's not a bad place. Just be honest with yourself about why you're going there. read more

Food is cheap. It is good. Take it out. Try not to look around. They need to clean a little better. I try not to think it would effect the food when waiting. A little wet mop and glass cleaner could go a long way in this place. Their Crab Ragoons (as of Summer 2011) are the best. You get 6 for $3.00 and have the most filling I have seen in a small and cheap Chinese food restaurant. read more

Only received half of my egg rolls, and my shrimp with lobster sauce was nothing like shrimp with lobster sauce. Was more like a 2 shrimp with a quart of imitiation crab meat and mixed vegetables in a clear sauce that smelled bad. When I called they told me they put the correct number of egg rolls in the bag, and I did not have the patience to deal with arguing semantics on what shrimp with lobster sauce is. I will just never order from them again. I should know better, always open your food with the delivery driver right in front of you, and if it is not what you ordered refuse delivery. read more

While G was on lunch break from the DSO, we met at Top China 1. It's your ordinary Chinese restaurant with typical Chinese items. One thing that they have is a "buffet to go." It's only to go, so you only get one plate. It's only $4.25 for one item and $6 for two items with fried rice. I ended up just ordering off the menu. I had chicken and broccoli with fried rice. G had shrimp and broccoli with fried rice. To be honest, it was pretty much what you would expect, no better, no worse. The fried rice was good, as was the broccoli. The chicken was not too great in my opinion. My fortune cookie did say that luck was headed my way. I am in a sweepstake for $7,000 or $250,000. Maybe I'll win this summer! read more
