“Impressed with the experience I had here. Food came out fast and hot, the atmosphere was nice, our waitress Brooke was very personable. Great to see this location improving. Would definitely go back my experience was a 5/5 and I loved the employee and how they stay on top of refills for all their tables. I recommend this restaurant to friends and family because I loves the experience and environment in this location.“

“New outside seating place in downtown Ann Arbor.“

“FOOD IS AMAZING AND THE STAFF IS SO NICE!
Went to this place for the first time and have ate there 3 times since. Super generous portions, a great deal, and very delicious. We even ordered-in one night, and the quality was still amazing with delivery.
Rare to find a restaurant today with great food, great service, and low cost! This place hits all three!“

“I had Hunan triple crown n House special rice noodles on 2 different times. Both were quite good. They were made spicy as per my request. So far, one of the best Chinese restaurants I've tried since moving here.“

“The food is delicious! Enjoyed everything, and I got a variety of things to try and split with my husband. A can of soy milk, red bean buns, black sesame buns, veggie buns, seaweed salad and a chicken dumpling soup. He got a rice dish as an entree.

You place your order on a tablet,and they'll bring it to your table if you do dine in. There is limited seating and I could see it getting packed depending on the time of day or certain days of the week.“

“great food big portions . the food was really delicious and filling“

“Our supper was delicious! From the sweet and sour chicken, pork fried rice and egg rolls - perfect. 🥡🥠. The owners are so friendly and helpful. 10/10 We appreciate you.“

“We are soooo happy we gave TK WU a try when visiting Ann Arbor. The food was amazing! I ordered The Broccoli Chicken expecting your run-of-the-mill experience only to have the BEST Broccoli Chicken I’ve ever experienced. You have spoiled me, lovely TK WU, and now every other version will be subpar. The staff were also SUPER adorable. We noticed how cute they were with their regulars and wishing them well and safe travels for the holidays. LOVE IT! They clearly loved their guests and it was precious to see. The restaurant was decorated in red for the holidays and walls were covered with pictures of what appeared to be friends and family. This place was so cozy it felt like being welcomed into someone’s home for lunch. Definitely 10/10 recommend! We can’t wait to come back the next time we’re in the city.“

“The only Chinese place I eat at. I love this place and come once or twice a week for takeout. Food is flavorful and always hot, been coming here since 2011 and they’ve never gotten my order wrong even when I make adjustments or substitutions. People know me by name there and always so nice and have a wonderful family. Please give this place a shot!“

“Hot Pot Chen will forever be one of my comfort restaurants and one of my favorite Chinese spots in Ann Arbor. My family has been going there since I was little, back when it was still Gourmet Garden, so every time I eat there it honestly feels like getting a taste of my childhood again.

Some of my staple favorites have stayed the exact same all these years because they’re just THAT good. The lamb in two styles is seriously one of the best dishes I’ve ever had at any Chinese restaurant anywhere. I genuinely don’t think I’ve had another place prepare it quite the same way. Absolute perfection every single time.

Their sesame beef is also unreal. Crispy, sweet, savory, rich, beefy — it almost tastes like savory candy in the best possible way. I think it’s genuinely one of the best Chinese entrées in Ann Arbor.

I’ll also forever ride and die for their garlic chicken because it feels like the perfect balanced comfort meal with tons of vegetables and the most fragrant garlicky sauce. And as a lifelong dumpling lover, their pan-fried dumplings and dumpling sauce are always mandatory. I love a dumpling with a slightly thicker wrapper that can really soak up all the delicious sauce, and theirs absolutely hit every time.

Another longtime family favorite is the mango beef, which sounds unexpected but somehow works so well.

I also just love the nostalgia of the restaurant itself — especially the big back room with the massive round tables and spinning lazy Susan trays that always made dinners feel special growing up.

Now that I live only a few minutes away, it’s become even more dangerous for me because I crave it constantly. Forever one of my go-to spots.“

“My friend and I stopped in after wandering the mall. We were treated with such care and attention from the moment we walked in until we left.

It was busy, but the staff stayed on top of everything and provided excellent service throughout.“

“I drove to Ann Arbor from Grand Rapids specifically for hand pulled noodles and found exactly what I was looking for. They had a huge selection of soups that were a considerable size for a reasonable price. I went with the roasted duck soup (with hand pulled noodles) with a mango drink on the side. It was really great watching the kitchen staff made the noodles by hand, and I am all about duck. The portions were large enough that I still had a snack for the next day.“

“I love Panda but not a fan of the portion sizes here. Very skimpy on the proteins compared to most locations. I've grown accustomed to the generous portion sizes so that is my biggest accomplishment. Shrinkflation??? Other than that the food is good, very clean no issues with service although some servers are worst than others on portion sizes. I may revisit in the future if I can get similar service that I expect.
I just wanted to inform those that love Panda and is considering if they want to try this location. Maybe your expectations will be met.“

“Food was pretty good. Beef ho fun great / beef & onion dumplings awesome too. Pork soup dumplings very bland, as was my son's fried rice. Definitely focus on the noodles and dumplings. Service a bit slow for sure as other reviews noted but I'll be back.“

“Great Quality food, you can select "Classic" or Authentic Chinese, there are many tasty options to choose from 🥰“

“Always have had great meals“

“I typically order takeout. Love most of their authentic Chinese menu items. I even started making one of their dishes at home regularly! The bento boxes (I think?) are great, which offers a slightly smaller portion but is still a balanced meal for one person. Their spicy dishes do have a kick so don’t be surprised.

There are also handmade rice dumplings for sale during Mid Autumn (or Dragon Boat) Festival, which can be found on their social media too.“

“I don’t get to come on this side of town as often like I used to, but when I do, I make the effort to stop in here. You have to park on the street or parking lot, then walk into the building and down the stairs. They are usually busy which is great because that says their food is good 👍 The wait isn’t very long, and the service is great. The food quality here beats most other pandas I have eaten at around Michigan.“
