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.“

“First time here. The food was good overall. The short ribs a bit too dry. Chicken egg roll delicious. The dragon and Phoenix was delicious just be careful with carry out, it gets soggy. Vegetable egg roll a bit soggy the filling. The staff can be a bit more friendly.“

“New outside seating place in downtown Ann Arbor.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Dining in, lady was rude. Restaurant was cold, felt like no heat on in dining room. Food got cold very quickly, especially the soup. Carry out is the best option in winter month's. Apparently owner trying to conserve on heat bill...burrrrr!!!“

“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.“

“If you're a foodie like me, this place deserves a spot on your must-try list. Every visit has been consistently great—the food is always served hot, comforting, and packed with flavor. The dumplings are incredibly juicy, and you can tell they're made fresh by hand from both the taste and texture.

The restaurant itself has a warm, inviting atmosphere. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the delicious aroma of freshly cooked food. The marble tabletops with floral decorations, and mix of booth and table seating make it a cozy place to enjoy a meal.

One thing I really appreciate is the value. The portions are generous, the quality is excellent, and the prices are more affordable than many other dumpling spots, especially considering how fresh everything tastes.

The only downside is that they can get busy, so expect about a 10–15 minute wait during peak times. If you're short on time, I'd recommend ordering ahead.

Overall, these are the best dumplings in Ypsilanti, and I highly recommend stopping by if you're craving authentic, flavorful comfort food.“

“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.“

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

“Somehow the best Chinese food on the west side of ann arbor. My food is always hot and fresh. If I have to wait I'm also not disappointed as it's fresh. There is a new manager I met today, she was so nice and enthusiastic I actually WANTED to tip, but they don't do tips she asked for a review instead of a tip.

I would give it 5 stars without her asking.“

“Was looking for some good, decently priced, Pho spot! This place has more than that, all the staples, and it’s delicious! Hidden gem!“

“Always have had great meals“

“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 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.“
