50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Farmington

“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.“

“The sweet and sour chicken is not what it used to be. The sauce was vinegary. There were no green peppers or pineapple. The plum sauce for the egg roll was the same.“

“I was really impressed by the food here. The place looks like a hole in the wall so you know it's going to be fire. They have an extensive menu. I got multiple items and everything exceeded my expectations.

They don't need a fancy restaurant, decorations, lights, or gimmicks to win you over because the food speaks for itself. This is going to be my new go to spot whenever I'm craving Chinese.“

“First time trying Ah-Ha and was very pleasantly surprised. The crab & shrimp boil was delicious but the cajun seasoning could have been spicier. I was thrilled to find marinated pork belly as the pork in my noodles (pork and vegetable option). This was a "need a towel, not a napkin" kind of meal - messy and great! We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“Amazing, some of the best in Metro Detroit, I shall return from Atlanta“

“It was great at lunch time to have a little holiday lunch with my team. Good was good and the service was too. It wasn't too busy or loud

Wheelchair accessibility: The main door is a revolving door, so I'm sure they have a handicap entrance I didn't notice.“

“The food was excellent. The service was even better. Very friendly people that really care. I had the best beef. It was so tender and tasty. The duck was delicious. Try their noodles.“

“This is the best Chinese food all around Novi, Walled Lake and Commerce Township! This is the only Chinese place I will eat at! The food is so fresh and always hot! And you get so much food! My favorite plate is the sesame chicken. 10/10 I always recommend this the friends and colleagues!“

“nothing horrible service!!!!“

“We had a power outage in the area, and this was the only Chinese open in Waterford. We came 30 minutes before closing, and the owners were very nice and went above and beyond for us. Being vegan, they made accommodations for me.

I ordered the veggie lo mein, and the portion size was huge. The flavor was pleasant but could have used a little more garlic and spices. There were no dinner combination options that came with fried rice and egg roll or soup. I ate my fill, and had enough to last me for a late night snack and lunch the next day.

My partner ordered either Sesame or General Tsau Chicken, and it came with white rice. He said the flavor was good and portion Very Generous. We both ordered veggie egg rolls a la carte and pop. The spring/ egg rolls were a bit too sweet, and the plum sauce was pale yellow instead of classic orange. I would not get those again.

My boyfriend devoured the chicken dish and still had leftovers!!!

The owners let us sit there and eat from the carry out containers, and told us to take our time. It was very nice and friendly.

I later noticed that they had Tofu stir fries available which I overlooked. I think I would have been better off with one of those.

Our total was over $30, like 34-37-- including the drinks. Usually we pay $20-36 dollars and we order combination plates.

I would possibly order from them again but would specify preference for more garlic and spices for my vegan options.

The fact that the owners were so nice and accommodating, letting us sit there and eat after closing, and having to cook my complicated Veg option after a long day tells me that they take pride in their restaurant, and would go above and beyond to accommodate any future modifications“

“My husband, daughter and I stopped in for the first time tonight and the food, staff, and atmosphere was amazing. Even my picky 8 year old loved it and tried everything! We will be back very soon! This is our new favorite spot👍“

“Very impressed with the value of the food, the taste, and their covid precautions! Go here for a safe and delicious meal!“

“I ordered the Szechuan chicken my wife ordered sweet and sour chicken and crab Rangoon. Everything was well prepared and tasted great. I had a couple friends tell me about this place and it is good but I always have my go to spot but for some people this might be yours and I can see why.“

“Delicious and reasonably priced. Peaceful atmosphere. Very good sized portions.“

“I called a couple of weeks in advance, reserved a table, and ordered the foods for 12 people. Chef Jeff discussed each dish with me on the phone. I like the fact that Jeff shopped for the fresh ingredients after he received the orders. When I and my guests arrived at the restaurant at 6:30 PM tonight, the foods were served exactly as planned, one course after another. We had, in the following order, the smoked fish, marinated gluten, steamed pork dumplings (xiao long bao), pan fried buns, egg rolls, stir-fried shrimps, fish filet soup, braised pork shoulder, spare ribs with sweet and sour sauce, rice with salted pork belly and green veggie, stir-fried pork liver, steamed baby cabbage with ham, and finally the sweet wine soup with rice balls as dessert. Everything was exquisitely prepared and super-delicious. The xiao long bao are better than those in most Ding Tai Feng stores in the world. I have had Shanghainese dishes served in New York, Toronto, LA, San Francisco, Taipei and Shanghai. Jeff’s interpretation of Shanghainese food is definitely one of the best I have ever experienced! After dinner, I and my friends continued to sit at the table and chatted for an hour. Jeff and his wife stopped by occasionally to replenish our tea pots and to make friendly small talks, but never tried to rush us to vacate our table. It was an absolutely enjoyable dinner experience!“

“Elevated Chinese cusine, with fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. A very elaborate menu, and a little higher on the price side, but then again, you are paying for the whole experience here, and it will be amazing. The food was exquisite, not extremely authentic, but for the location, it was excellent, as Farmington Hills is not so populated with Chinese folk, and I did see many patrons, so it said a lot just walking into the dining room.
We had a large party, and it took a while for us to get our drinks, our soup was already at the table, and no drinks served yet.
Love the ambiance here, glamorous and refined.“

“Have been eating here for well over 50 years. LOVE ❤️ the food. It’s my go-to place for Chinese.“

“Ive ate here for years i love their food ive seen their boys grow up i will always eat here“

“Yun's Village offers fantastic food with a friendly atmosphere. The dishes are flavorful, the service is attentive, and the staff is always welcoming. It's a great spot for a satisfying meal with a pleasant dining experience. Definitely worth a visit“

“One of the best chinese food places on the area. The food is always hot and freshly made when I pick it up, and it doesn't take very long either. I had a General Tso's the other day. The chicken was nice and crispy even after driving home with it. Highly recommend checking this place out if you can!“

“Easily the best chinese in Livonia area, food was excellent everything was hot and fresh. The food was excellent!!! The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was suitable for dining!!! We loved it.

The only small thing that I would like to see is if they do offer senior discounts. If/When they add or offer senior discounts, then it's a big bonus. Overall, I'm very satisfied.“

“Legitimately the best American Chinese food I have ever had! It's just takeout so the "atmosphere" is nothing to write home about, but the service is great and the food is absolutely amazing. The chicken is always deliciously crispy, vegetables are clean and fresh, and the rice (as simple as it is) is the perfect complement to the spices and sauces that they use. I've only been here four times so far, but I'm definitely making this my go-to.“

“The pulled noodles were fresh and had a great texture. I ordered the Xiao Long Bao, but unfortunately, the soup was missing due to overcooking. I also tried the C12, but the soup was too salty, making it difficult to finish. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and welcoming. I’m considering coming back to try other flavors and see if they’re better balanced.“

“First time here and it was very good. Being a native metro Detroiter I recall the days of fabulous almond boneless chicken (ABC) from one particular restaurant. 30+ years later, I’m still searching for that taste. This place is pretty darn close. The lunch combo portion was huge, more than enough for two very generous servings. In fact when I picked up the order the bag was so heavy I checked inside to be sure I had gotten the right order. The chicken was tender and breading crisp despite my not eating it for 45 minutes after picking it up. The gravy is the a bit salty neon yellow I recall. The fried rice with a few bean sprouts mixed in was equally good. I did not care for the eggroll, but its importance was marginal. The place is primarily carryout, although they have a few tables where you can sit and enjoy your food. My order was ready promptly. So if you’re one of those metro Detroiters looking to satisfy“

“Food is wonderful best Chinese food in the city very fresh customer service is great portion size is excellent try this place I would recommend“

“Food tasted great. A little too spicy for a Chinese place. I asked for medium. No on in front of me in line it still took them 12-15 minutes to make my food. Atmosphere is dull. They need to paint in there. Bring color and or decorations“

“Best Chinese Restaurant. They are so friendly, and actually know my food order! They are amazing! Great food as well!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Taste of Home!

I recently visited this restaurant, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The food is authentic, fresh, and healthy, which is so hard to find these days. Every dish reminded me of the flavors and warmth of home back in China. You can tell the ingredients are high quality, and the dishes are made with care and attention to detail. From the rich flavors to the comforting atmosphere, this place is an absolute gem. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone craving real, wholesome Chinese food. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Thank you D and G.

“great place great food“

“Almond chicken with awesome a lot of food my husband and my friend had a lot of food. Everything was great.“

“First time coming to China Gold. The women was very nice and my 10 year old son loved the look of the place when we walked in to pick up good. Got the sesame chicken and fried rice. It was a good portion and tasted great. Chicken was not tough or overcooked like other reviews said. I also got the sweet and sour chickem a la carte, which was cooked traditionally with pineapple and vegetables which I was a fan of but my kid is used to dipping the chicken in a sauce but still eat all the chicken. Egg roll was bean sprout and good. I will be going back.“

“Szechuan has been around since before I was born. They are family owned. They have the best Chinese food I have ever had!!! The food is always fresh every single time you go there! I would give their food 15/10.“

“I've been coming here since I lived in Walled Lake. The food is absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend the almond chicken. The people there are very kind, and the atmosphere is amazing. The sushi is absolutely delicious and makes my mouth melt. This is some of the best asian food I've ever had. I recommend this place“

“One of our kids is a really picky eater, but she LOVED the general tso chicken. Typically it's spicy, but this version is pretty sweet. Our kids loved it!!

Kid-friendliness: Our picky eater girl LOVED the general tso chicken“

“delicious every time, orders are correct and hot when picked up!“

“We went to Panda Express for late dinner at about 9:30, and met one of the employer Emily.

Though it was late at night and was time for her to leave work, she was super kind to us and passionate on her work. I want to appreciate her work attitude ? Thank you Emily!“

“I used to go here as a 8-10 y/o, I'm 42 now. My dad worked at the Marathon on the corner. I was friends with the owners son (I believe it has changed hands since I was a kid). The food was really good I have nothing but fond memories of this place.“

“Very small restaurant serving authentic Shanghai-style Chinese food including some dim sum items on weekend afternoons. Make sure to ask for the Chinese menu (which has both Mandarin and English labels) not the very limited American-style menu.Slight extra charge for using a credit card.“

“Great food. Wish they had a slightly larger menu but what they have is good and tasty 👍“

“I Ordered from here for the first time today and WOW! SO GOOD! The service was excellent, the gentleman at the front counter was very polite. 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!“

“This is our favorite when we want carryout Chinese food!

The food is well prepared. Good portion sizes. Quick and efficient service—they text you when your order is ready, which is convenient!

We’ve ordered a few different foods from this restaurant and we’ve enjoyed all of them. My favorite is the Pineapple Chicken.

It’s not luxury dining, but it’s a great option when you don’t want to cook and would just like a quick and easy, good meal. We spent about $30 for an entree, a combo meal, and a shrimp roll. There was more than enough food for my family of four.“

“Absolutely best and highest quality Chinese food that I know of. This isn’t your typical “Chinese Restaraunt”. You’ll find no buffet or anything of that sort here. Impeccable interior, with the added plus of the Jia Bar Connected and owned by the same owners. Stop and have a craft cocktail at Jia then 10 steps into the China Cafe through the door and be prepared for a fantastic experience! Owners are absolute gems as well.“

“Very nice people! The food was excellent and fresh. I recommend the chicken Egg Foo Young and the General Tso’s chicken. The egg rolls remind me of a smaller version I had as a kid from my favorite place at the time…..delicious! ? I should have taken the picture before I ate one of the patties, but I couldn’t resist.“

“Trusted network of food

“Their food is always delicious. I’ve pretty much ordered half the menu and have never been disappointed! The prices are fair with good portions. Of course they’re halal! & they have gluten free options!! Definitely a must try! & they are clean and friendly as well! 🙂 I would give it 5 stars!“

“The food was absolutely phenomenal. They have gluten-free options. James was very attentive to our needs and answered my questions to make sure I followed my appropriate diet. The portion sizes were very large and I had two meals from my order. I really enjoyed the Szechuan chicken.
