This has just become my favorite place to eat PERIOD in Detroit. The food is so severely underpriced for the flavor packed into it but I would never complain about that. The drinks are fantastic and once again priced amazingly. Wait staff is top notch BUT there is someone there that really ties it all together. That man would be Marty, and he gave my girlfriend and I the best eating experience we have ever had in any restaurant. From carefully explaining the menu to us and helping us find hidden gems, to bringing shots over and slamming them down with us, he is nothing short of spectacular! We even scored a picture with him because he is someone I’ll never want to forget.
We will be returning to this establishment and letting all of our friends know where to get some amazing food and even better hospitality.

First off, our server was fine and there was nothing wrong w our experience with the staff.
If you want mediocre greasy one-dimensional Chinese food where salt is the principal spice and you just need something to buffer booze, you have a lot of options. This is one of them. The problem is that The Peterboro presents itself as something better than that, and charges as if anything about its mediocre food has anything special about it.
We got two spring rolls for $12 and chow fun w tofu for $23. Spring rolls would've been fine for $3 in a strip mall restaurant. Absolutely nothing special but nothing defective other than the stupid price. The chow fun was transcendently bad. Wrong noodles (skinny and maybe wheat?), minimal vegetables heavy on celery or bok choy stem, and oversalted brown sauce with no subtlety. The fried tofu was 1" cubes, too small to get the exterior/interior differences right. Fine if it had cost $9 in a styrofoam clamshell out of a truck that you'd eat out of desperation. We choked it down because of how much it cost and to make it to a concert on time.
The cute metal tray for the spring rolls was the highlight. Oh, and the green tile wall is beautiful.
We experienced a minor spiritual death during dinner - a hipster presentation of utter lowest common denominator cuisine at prices that easily could've resulted in something other than this tragedy. Jane Jacobs observed that you need environments like the one The Peterboro has effectively colonized to do the kinds of experimentation that make cities vibrant. Turns out those spaces do not themselves guarantee good aesthetic outcomes and The Peterboro is a clear illustration of that painful truth.
YMMV.

Let me start by giving some sound advice. Before you patron a business, check their Instagram account...if there hasn't been any activity/posts in over a month, DON'T GO(they're probably closed).
Right after THAT experience, I started looking for another place to eat. I ended up unfollowing/deleting several restaurants that appeared closed for good.
Then I saw Peterboro and decided it'd be best to call and confirm when the kitchen closed... Syd answered the phone and had a personality I absolutely had to experience IN PERSON. So I hurriedly left Livernois and 7½ mile area and went towards the Cass corridor.
There's a parking attendant waiting to scam you for $20 parking, then act like he's doing you a favor by offering parking for $10... which is what's posted on the shed(which is too dark to see). Just park free and walk the extra 20 feet at the shipping container restaurant.
After securing a parking spot, we walked into Peterboro and I loudly announced (((SYD???))). She looked up and smiled recognizing my voice from the call. Syd is the short chic manning the bar...GO SEEE SYD!!!.
Sydney is sooo cool and people oriented. I've not really been exposed to saki, but had a curiosity. Syd literally gave us a tasting!!! Then she made us sakitinis. Her renderings are soooo smooth.
There food is made fresh, but already prepped. I ordered the ribs, my wife ordered the shrimp fried rice. THE FOOD CAME SO FAST, I THOUGHT IT WAS FOR ANOTHER TABLE!!! It was obviously fresh though.
We ate and had conversation with Syd, she is proof not all heroes where capes, all the way down to what she's studying in college and why.
The Peterboro is a hidden jewel, and with Syd as a trainer, it will thrive and flourish.

Had a great dining experience here. Marty was a blast and kept us entertained while waited for our food and drinks. The wait staff was super attentive and fast, didn't have to ask for anything from water refills to napkins. The drinks are uniqueand good, There are as many appetizers to choose from as there are entrees. Will definitely come back the Peterboro.
Vegetarian options: Almost everything is vegan or vegetarian but you can add any protein you like.
Dietary restrictions: We were asked if there was anyone in our party who had food allergies. We really appreciated that.
Parking: There's a large lot across the street with very reasonable parking fee.

One of the finest and pleasing ambience Chinese restaurants in Detroit . Thanks for the manager to Customise spice levels for us (I have spicy tooth ?)
The place has great atmosphere. Service was great. I can't remember the young lady's name, but she was really nice. The host , Marty was exceptional. Holds conversation like he has known you for some time. Gives great advice on the foods to try. Showed us Zen room outside, which was nice. Crab Rangoon was good. All the food came out hot and fresh. The fried rice with chicken and shrimp was ok. I first tried the low mein by mistake. It was ok, but I'm not big on low main. There was a Lavendar drink which was really good. Overall, I enjoyed it. Would probably stick with the small plates.

Stopped in for dinner on a Thursday night. It is a cute atmosphere the waitress recommended the Cheeseburger Spring rolls and they were unbelievable so good! I would go back just for these alone.
She also recommended the spare ribs which we so much food. The food and beer was great, it’s easy parking, all around nice place for dinner.
We are in town for a concert and were looking for dessert. We ordered the Apple dessert (which was amazing) but THE SERVICE was top notch. I’m not sure who the gentleman was who walked my girls around to find the dragons, but they came back and told everyone in our party about it and even shared their cookies with others in line. Will come back during our next trip!

This place was one of the most friendly restaurants I’ve been to. Marty, our host treated us like he knew us for years and took time and care to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. The food was outstandingly flavourful! Lucy was our waitress and paid just the same amount of attention as Marty. She made sure that we had everything we needed. Overall, whether you are there for a simple dinner or any special occasion, this restaurant offers everything you need to enjoy a night out!
Kid-friendliness: Marty was very kind to the kids and took them on a 13 dragon adventure!

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, our host Marty welcomed us and made us feel incredibly special, going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Their warmth and attentiveness were truly exceptional. Our waitress Lucy was equally fantastic, taking great care to accommodate our dietary needs and allergies. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and made sure every detail was perfect. And the food—absolutely amazing! Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. This was one of those dining experiences where everything just clicked. We left feeling full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

I'll first say that we were attended to this evening by a wonderful girl named Megan (Meghan?) who said she was training under another server. She in no manner performed like a trainee. She ended up actually being 95% of the total service experience. She was OUTSTANDING, AND GAVE EXPERT ATTENTION TO US. This was fortunate for the restaurant, since the kitchen was backed up and delivered food in a VERY slow and highly disorganized manner. We had our 3 dinners arrive at various intervals spanning 40 minutes, the last entree arriving nearly 25 minutes later than the second. The food itself was very good, some of it excellent, but it was Megan who gets the credit for holding it all together. Recommend the restaurant overall. The ribs are excellent. Cheeseburger egg rolls a unique and worthwhile treat.
