“Food is great, fast and hot! Staff is super friendly at all times. Decor is a little dated but clean. Egg roll was a little hard and didn't seem fresh. The General Tso chicken is excellent, not very spicy but more sweet. Chicken was really meaty with no fatty pieces. Would definitely recommend.“

“We had an amazing meal, drinks and experience at Zao Jun. We were planning on heading through the area and checked out their menu online and it looked amazing. Our server was actually the bartender Jeff who was pulling double duty and did it flawlessly and with laughter. We had amazing drinks....the crab rangoons and sauce were the best we ever tasted and so was the miso soup (got more to take home). And the veggie lo mein and short ribs bao buns were outstanding and perfectly portioned for my daughter and I to try (and still have lo mein to take home). Her and I already plan to go back and sit at the bar next time because Jeff seriously won us over with his personality as well as the food and atmosphere!!“

“My father and I stopped in for lunch at the PF Chang’s inside Somerset Mall, James was our server and took exceptional care of us! The food was delicious but the service is what really put this over the top! James was like a magician, here when we needed him and a ghost when we had mouthfuls of food (no one likes being bothered when they’re eating)… he made excellent recommendations and even brought over a sauce concoction, similar to the trio for our egg rolls that had spicy mustard that was fabulous! Overall you know what to expect from Chang’s and the kitchen delivered but James’s service was perfect and really made our meal an excellent experience! I’ll come here before I fight the crowds at Partridge Creek ever again! Cheers to the whole staff with an extra nod to our waiter James!“

“We came in for a date night. We have been very stressed as our wedding is 70 days away and he thought this would be a nice break away from planning and family obligations. DJ was our server, she was hands down the best. She joked with us and was very knowledgeable about the menu and drink choices. My fiancé even asked her to keep our food warm while I went outside to handle a phone call from our children. DJ was very attentive, you could tell she had experience. Will definitely come back and ask for her to be our server again.“

“Really weird atmosphere and vibe. Service was good.
The soup dumplings were pretty good! Spring rolls were ok and the walnut buns were interesting. We had the braised bone-in duck dish and we thought it was too
bony and didn’t have a lot of flavor. Got general tso to go and it was kinda boring - no broccoli, no rice. Just deep fried chicken with some sauce on the side.“

“I like many of you, like using the review score when making purchase decisions. I never just look at the score. I look for the number of reviews and I try to find helpful reviews to give me more incite into what I may be getting into. My wife works in a business where the reviews really matter for bringing in new customers. She often talks about the long-time customers who keep returning but have never left a review. Those are really the voices that should matter more to people who want an honest review of the company they are looking into. Unfortunately, even though I like looking at reviews, I seldom leave one unless I'm very satisfied with the company or really disappointed. In both cases, I leave my emotions aside and tell things as I experience them. This means that if everything wasn't perfect, I don't ding them for minor stuff. I give people the benefit of the doubt because we all have those days when we aren't at our best. When I read bad reviews about restaurants that I frequent often, I wonder about the person leaving the review. I feel that they are either competitors with malicious intent, someone who didn't try to listen to resolve whatever issues they perceived to be happening, or simply someone who's looking for a reason and is too hard to please in the first place. So with all that out of the way, let me get to the Lim's Star review. I love Chinese food and it's one of the first things I looked for locally when I bought my house 10 years ago. There are several in what I would consider my drivable area. Lim's Star is in my top 5 or higher depending on what dish I'm looking for. 10 years means I've been coming there since before the current owner. Do I miss the dinner rolls? Not really, since I get better quality food and personalization of meals on request. The new owner knows us on sight and remembers what we like to order. He even allows us to modify the ingredients to our liking. He is very friendly and will engage in small talk to get to know his customers better. We eat at or buy takeout from Lim's Star at least once a month, sometimes more. Has everything always been perfect? No, but I really can't recall the last time I was dissatisfied with my order or service. Based on my long review, I'm hoping you can tell I have had many enjoyable meals from and experiences with Lim's Star. Seriously! If you are on the fence or willing to try something new in your area, start with a dish you know to compare. I doubt you will be disappointed in your comparison. Mark J.“

“I got the Mongolian Chicken combo dinner
Food was good and fresh. Good flavor. Egg roll was freshly made
Definitely a place worth trying again. It's nice to find a chinese restaurant in the area that is clean and the staff seem to enjoy doing their job. See you next time!“

“Best Chinese food in metro-Detroit, hands down! Nothing frozen, all fresh..they hand bread the chicken and it is fried to absolute golden brown perfection! The general Tao’s sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Egg rolls are light and crisp. Happy you is amazing consistent, I’ve been a customer for 10+ years and I’ve never been disappointed. They are also extremely friendly, portions are big and the prices are very reasonable! A+++“

“Hong Hua is in an interesting position, in which it targets a luxury experience and great eats. The environment certainly meets those expectations as it feels more like a higher end, business focused feel with the refinement, yet everyone seems to be in street casual mode. Also food is offered in a a’la cart style very similar to a higher end steak house; you bill can scale up quickly because of this.
Food: The menu certainly has specialized dishes you won’t find in the average Chinese restaurant. Peking Duck is one of those things you should certainly try; it’s an broasted duck served with a unique pancake & sauces. I’ve been going here off and on for the past 10 years and they seem consistent. IMHO I feel leans toward the western taste, meaning heightened emphasis on certain spices such as salt. I’ve had the opportunity to sample authentic Chinese foods in China & other Asian countries. In terms of authenticity I give them an A-; it’s tasty
Price: Seems to be on the higher end; from 1-10…I’d say level 7 or 8.“

“Very tasty Chinese food, which is hard to find for some reason. Ordered sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. Chicken was crisp and both the chicken and rice were well seasoned.
To the owners or management - please clean out the light covers on the ceiling. Thanks!“

“I'm working out of town in Troy, MI and stopped to get dinner on the way back to the hotel and I'm glad I did. I ordered the almond chicken dinner combo, it came with fried rice and an egg roll, I also ordered some crab rangoon. The food was hot, fresh and delicious! And there was a lot of it! The lady that took the order was very nice and friendly as well. I'll definitely be stopping here again the next time I'm in town.“

“I’ve been here a few times as it’s consistently tasty each time. While the menu focuses on noodle variations it offers other tasty treats. Watching the noodles crafted by hand is quite entertaining. It’s made in a similar way that pizza is made, instead of spinning dough into a saucer, here they perform fancy jump rope techniques into thin tasty noodles cooked in seconds. Adorned with various proteins, veggies, & spice levels there’s bound to be something you like. I find these flavors to border the authentic side vs. Panda express. Aside from the great eats I like the fact that there’s a ev charger in the parking lot (not free though).“

“Service was a tad slow, but our waitress was attentive when we needed her attention. Atmosphere was just ok, not amazing, but not the absolute worst. The restaurant mainly had Chinese people, which was comforting because if Chinese people came to eat here, it means that the food is probably actually decent.
The food was the best part here. I came here with my white husband, and I told him I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious flavor of the tea they served us while we waited.
We got our appetizer of pork bao buns, which were yummy. My husband got his beef brisket noodle soup not long after while I had to wait a bit longer for my fried rice and orange chicken to come. The fried rice was just ok, and the orange chicken was pretty good, considering it seemed like they used orange rind in the sauce. My husband was mind blown over the portion of my food since I also got an egg roll with my meal for $13! It was huge, enough to cover like 1-2 more meals.
Overall, it is a decent Chinese restaurant.“

“This place is by far my favorite Chinese restaurant in Troy and is the only one that has come close to Kims since they closed. The food and service is always great. This most recent time we got carryout and they forgot our sweet and sour chicken. We called them and the main employee guy (the owners son? from my understanding) came and delivered it to our house HIMSELF. I have never had a restaurant offer to do this before, let alone a restaurant like this one that doesn't have many employees.
They also for some reason have pina coladas if you are dining in which seems quite unusual for a chinese restaurant but I'm 100% here for it. Who doesn't like options?
The only downside is the building itself is a bit shabby/suspicious looking, but the service and food make that easy to ignore.“

“I’m not a huge fan of Chinese food...it is either blah or just ok to me. There’s never been a restaurant that made me think it was great, mostly because I prefer other ethnic food much more. That being said, even with my bias, this place is really good! The portions are HUGE and at a fair price, and the egg rolls are perfectly crisp on the outside and flavorful and moist on the inside. What makes it 5 stars? The staff has a sense of urgency...everyone is bustling around in there, but they are really friendly and you genuinely feel that they are happy their restaurant is so full and busy. I got the sense that they really wanted to please people. Even on a Friday night when it was very busy, we barely waited 10 minutes to get seated. Our food came out very fast and our waitress was super nice. It was also noticeably very clean in there. Nice updated decor and fresh clean tables and booths.“

“Order:
- Hot and Sour Soup
- General Tso's Chicken + Fried Rice
The soup was on the lower end of hot and sour soups I've had. If I return to this place, I wouldn't order it again. The General Tso's, however, was excellent. It wasn't groundbreaking, or especially unique, but it was delicious. The quantity bolstered the enjoyment- one could easily get two meals out of it as I did. I rarely order fried rice, but this place served excellent fried rice.
The service was excellent. It was quick, efficient, and pleasant. The lady who took my order was very nice, and I had my food within 15 minutes.
The atmosphere wasn't anything to write home about, it was a hole-in-the wall carry out restaurant, but it did its job.“

“Moved to Pontiac and this is just down the street from me. Ordered General Tso chicken and for $11 I got like 2 lbs. in a big white Styrofoam box (packed) They do NOT skimp on the portions and the Pork fried rice was amazing and the Egg drop soup was also good. I have their menu on my refrigerator and plan on ordering almost everything on the menu before the year is out.“

“Ordered here for the first time recently and they didn’t disappoint. We’ve been to all the spots around Troy, even driving to places in hazel park that supposedly had great food. I must admit, I was reluctant having seen the little place for years and I never looked busy which I took as it must not be good. I was wrong! I will be ordering here from now on.“

“The best Chinese in the state of Michigan . We used to live a couple of blocks down auburn rd and we would take out once a week. Now the last 5 years whenever the wife , kids and I want Chinese we have to drive 1/2 hour to get Pings . Really there is no eating at another Chinese place once you have one bite of their generous and delectable proportions . House made duck sauce and egg rolls are the best ever !“

“I really enjoyed the general tso lunch special! The chicken was nice and crispy chicken and the portion was plentiful that came with fried rice and a spring roll. The best part is they are halal certified and when we called the supplier they confirmed they are also hand slaughtered halal. The owner was so sweet and kind. Will definitely be coming back.“

“I ordered off of the traditional menu and it was some of the best Chinese/Sichuan cuisine I've ever had. I ordered the beef and tendon appetizer and the fish with pickled vegetables hot pot. Both were delicious.
The tendon in the beef appetizer was sliced very thin, so it had the perfect chewiness without being overly tough. This dish features a spicy, numbing chili oil base with smashed cucumbers at the bottom. The cucumbers provided a nice, cooling contrast to the rest of the dish. The garnish of cilantro and raw garlic also provided craveable bursts of flavor.
The soup was also excellent. The fish was tender and flakey. The greens weren't overly pickled and had a great crunch. The broth had an excellent depth of flavor with notes of garlic, ginger, and various chilis. This dish came with a burner and stayed steaming hot for 45+ minutes.
Another thing about this place is the portions. They're huge. The beef tendon appetizer was enough for at least 2 people, and the soup was enough for 3-4 people. There was a PILE of fish in that thing.
I look forward to coming back here with a group so I can try more things. The interior is nice and they also have a full bar.“

“I have loved this restaurant for over 20 years.
My sons and I loved going here for birthdays, holidays, special occasions and just nights out.
The food is delicious, affordable and the portions are generous. We loved the wait staff who always remembered us and our order, and truly miss our visits here.
My family and I are very sad that during the pandemic they shut down the dining area and never reopened it.
The dine in experience is what is lacking the most for me/us.
We no longer get hot tea nor the delicious peppermint ice cream with our meals .
It feels rather impersonal and not at all relaxing to order carry out through a window in a line with others and then eat at home. Even though we still see familiar faces, the plexiglass we see them through takes away from the experience we know has existed
If there is anything it is lacking it is the wonderful dine in experience that is no longer available.“

I was skeptical because lately I've been going other places and getting small portions but man did they go above and beyond! Food was fresh and delicious and they made it exactly to my liking 👏🏽 this is my new fav!“
“They were pretty slow when I visited. There was no brocolli beef ready though, which is what I wanted. They made a fresh batch for me though in just a few minutes. Not the best Chinese food but okay for a quick lunch. My fortune cookie gave me an underhanded compliment, "You are as beautiful as you are intelligent." thanks?“

“We have tried lots of Chinese food in our area and this is the best we’ve had.
We got carry out on a Saturday night. General Taos chicken was a huge portion with large meaty chicken. The crab Rangoons were large and the best we’ve found. The dumplings were large as well and juicy. We were very pleased with our meal and we have lots of leftovers to enjoy. Food was made quickly and arrived hot. We hopefully finally found our new go to Chinese spot.“

Super delicious, very generous potions & Best Priced menu, not to mention pleasant service too. This little place on M-59 is very busy, a needle in a haystack.
