“I went here when my daughter had a volleyball tournament nearby. I didn’t have very high expectations based on the exterior but The food was much better than I expected and the Service was kind. The atmosphere was a little rundown and not that many customers were there. It seemed like they had more carryout business than in house dining. It was enjoyable.“

“I received an order via Uber Eats. The food was wonderful! What made my order more appealing was the fact that I ordered the Butter Cake which included a Carmel sauce and Vanilla Bean ice cream and someone in the kitchen made sure to put the ice cream in a container which they placed in a bag of ice. Everything was perfect!“

“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.“

“Found this restaurant on google yesterday. I wanted to try something different and noticed that it was close to where I live and had better reviews than the other Chinese food place I’d been accustomed to going to. That in itself was a plus for me!
I placed my order online:
Sweet and sour chicken, my girls favorite dish…
Broccoli chicken, my husband’s favorite…
And
Pepper chicken for myself. I had never heard of it but was genuinely curious because I love pepper steak.
Everything was delicious! The fried chicken rice was fluffy and seasoned well. The sweet and sour sauce was tasty and had a good, thick consistency. The pepper chicken could’ve had more of the bean sauce on it for me so next time I’ll ask for extra. The peppers and broccoli were tender and the chicken in all of the plates was really good. My 11 year old daughter said to tell you “we’d give 100 stars if we could” and she’s my picky eater lol
Customer service was excellent, the young man even held the door open for me! Definitely going again!!!“

“Hands down some of the best Chinese cuisine in town. 🍜 Went to ShiangMi with Jon and everything was top-notch—flavorful, fresh, and authentic. Special thanks to the manager, Jim Y, for ensuring the service was perfect. Highly recommend this place for the food and the atmosphere and the service.
We cannot wait to come again.“

“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+++“

“I just had to share my experience at this incredible Chinese restaurant! It's honestly the best I've ever had. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming.
If you’re a fan of Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend checking it out! I think you’d love it just as much as I did.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I gave this place a shot for 2 reasons: 1) they made the effort to stick a carryout menu in the front door of my house; and 2) Rainbow's phone was an endless busy signal. After trying the food (lo mein, egg foo young, general tso's chicken, and Szechuan Shrimp), I'm very happy I tried this place. I think it just might be the best tasting Chinese takeout I've had in the area. I'll definitely be going back and I encourage anyone reading this to give it a try.“

“Be careful when ordering online. They automatically tip themselves. (I always tip cash) They got double tip on a carry out. Food was okay. Not like when previous owners had it.“

“They have an Americanized menu and a Traditional Chinese menu. I ordered the Beef with wild peppers and the dried tofu in chili oil appetizer both off the Traditional Chinese menu. They were both really good, the beef was my favorite. Portion sizes were large, definitely big enough to split with another person.“

“China Express is hands down one of the best spots around! The service is always fast, friendly, and welcoming—you can tell they really care about their customers. The food is consistently fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Every dish tastes like it’s made with care, and the portions are generous for the price.“

“My uncle recommended them and I haven’t went anywhere else since moving to Troy. I just wanna give them A shout out tonight for not messing up our $180 order. They were slammed and we weren’t missing anything. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Thank you and great job tonight!!“

“I came in at what seemed to be a slower time. I was taken care of right away. Our server was great. I ordered Agedashi Tofu, and the house salad. My daughter ordered Chicken Teriyaki, we both got miso soup- which was not included in her meal which I thought was weird. Everywhere else I go it comes with. The soup was pretty bland, and was $6 each. Daughter liked her chicken teriyaki. I enjoyed my tofu. The salad was good, but I’ve never paid $8 for a little side salad before. All in all we had a pleasurable experience and liked the food. But I will likely not be back, I have many other spots that are more affordable.“

“I didn't know this place was seed oil free (which is a HUGE plus) until after I picked up my order. I don't know if it's only certain items or the whole menu. The breading on the sesame chicken was not quite as crispy as other places, unfortunately, but the sauce was sensational. Already looking forward to my next visit.“

“Holy cow. The combination dinner meal is huge! Perfect Christmas dinner! I usually order chicken and vegetables, but really had a taste for orange chicken. It was our first time trying this place and will now be my go to for Chinese take out. Friendly staff too!“
“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?“

“Some of the best kosher Chinese food I've ever had. The general tsao chicken is amazing. Just the right won't of spicy with some crunch. The Szechuan chicken is also a great option of you like spicy and I don't think it has any added sugar (another huge plus for me)
I'd put this place up against the best Chinese kosher places in NY and day.“

“Really good! However I placed online where it gave me the option to get soup and an egg roll with my lunch and I got a call stating I can't have both and I can choose one or the other with rice. No big deal but your online system allows that so please change that so it cant be selected when you guys can - thank you guys!“

“Mays is a goto for me!!! I’m in love with the King Ka Lee I believe. It’s the yellow curry with rice, chicken and potatoes. Perfect for a winter day. The food is always cooked fresh and you can watch them cook it. It’s really fast I like to order when I get there because it only takes a real 5 mins. And I add a Thai tea for the spice. Ima medium + spice kinda guy. If you want to go crazy add mushrooms.“

“One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area. Quick for pick up meals and friendly staff. Usually the chicken and rice are perfectly cooked, moist, and delicious. I've tried a few other dishes that have all been good too. Would definitely recommend.“
