We’ve been there twice in the last year. If we got to Detroit more often I would go more often. The service is very good. Marty the Manager? Owner? greeted us and chatted a little - very nice that he makes that effort. And Sid the bartender is amazing. She was there both times we’ve been there. She takes a genuine interest in your preferences and makes suggestions. She is not just a bartender but a true mixologist. She is very kind and personable too.
The food was good. We had the cheeseburger springrolls which sound weird but were actually pretty tasty. Also the mushroom dumplings which with a little spicy and delicious. And then the garlic noodles with chicken. Also very good.
The other food we saw looked delicious too.

I loved the ambiance of the outside patio area!! It was beautiful! I came for a birthday dinner party! I had the vegan lo mein with the vegan noodles. The dish looked amazing but the noodles were undercooked, but the staff was so pleasant and offered to remake the dish which I appreciated. The dinner party I came with said the cheesbuger spring rolls were fire!! Also, they loved the chicken wontons and pork dumplings. Some stated the fried rice (shrimp, and the chicken with shrimp) needed more seasoning. They shared that the spicy-garlic noodles was delicious and the beef lo mein was equally as great (add extra beef). The beef and broccoli was delightful as well. One stated the almond chicken was good and the other said the almond chicken (thighs) was okay both said they wanted more meat.

I'm in town working for just today. Found the Peterboro by mistake( a very delicious mistake). To make a long story short, I'll be returning to this restaurant every time I'm in town. Food is phenomenal, atmosphere is perfect, and the staff can't do enough for you. Thank you Marty for coming outside and introducing yourself. If I lived in Detroit this would be my new go to spot!

This place is the worst! I went with my step-aunt before the Rihanna concert (you know she once performed at the Superbowl!) and the waiters were totally rude. My food was cold, they didn't cook my meat all the way through, and the waiters barely came around to check on our table. It was like we were being ignored. We ended up just getting the check and leaving. Will never go back again.

The Peterboro is putting all other Chinese/American food in the area to shame. Yes, the portion size is smaller because the food tastes a thousand times better than anything else you can compare it to. They have to balance that with offering higher quality ingredients or otherwise you're paying $46.95 for an order of orange chicken. And let's talk about that orange chicken while we are at it. OOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEE. It is dominating any other orange chicken you ever had, I promise. The rangoons were delicious and crispy, the sauce was spicy and delicious. AND THEM BAO BUNS?! PILLOWY. SAVORY. DELIGHTFUL. Emily, our server, was also very sweet, and the manager (owner?) had a fine bow tie and was making sure every table was good. 10/10 experience, can't wait to go back.

Great taste and vibe. It's not authentic Chinese but a great western twist. The O.G. Earthly Branch, great cocktail.

Went for dinner before a concert. It was pretty empty and there was no wait. Service was awesome. The prices are a little high for what the food is. I got sesame chicken and husband got the garlic noodles. You don’t get too much food for what you pay for. My dish was good, just a tad salty. The drinks were really good.
Came here for the first time sense Covid the other week and disappointed is an understatement the price I paid for the size of the portion as well as the low quality of the food is ridiculous. When I asked why everything was so small our server looked embarrassed and said it was the owner who created such small portions. Now I understand it’s midtown things are more expensive but this place is a scam and the worst Chinese restaurant I’ve ever experienced I would recommend you spend your money anywhere else but here.

I wish I could give more than five stars for the service. I generally sit at the bar but sometimes I come with friends and sit at a table. No matter what, the service is excellent. Bartenders and servers are always willing to go the extra step to make something special for you. About the food, everything I’ve had here is excellent. My favorite things are the mushroom dumplings, outstanding! And the crispy eggplant, there’s nothing like it. Their bao buns are wonderful also. And the cocktails! My favorite cocktail of all time is their earthly branch, lots of ginger and flavor. But they also have a monthly cocktail, something creative, this month it’s a very refreshing departure from the Aperol spritz. Sid, the managing bartender here, creates the cocktails. The “Chinatown Sundown” cocktail of the month is well balanced, refreshing, everything you want at the end of August day. Come here, alone or with friends, you won’t be disappointed, it’s my favorite place in Detroit.

Honestly was not impressed. My expectations were probably too high, but for the price range I would have chosen a different place. Kind of a fancy panda express, super americanized Chinese food.

Charged me 2 dollars for ice in my drink then yelled at me for asking for clarification when I received the bill. Food took over an hour to be brought out after ordering. Stay away.
