12 Best Chinese Restaurants in Livonia

“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.“

“We love PF Changs and so any opportunity to eat here is never missed and this location didn’t disappoint either. We ordered dynamite shrimp, orange chicken, Mongolian beef and kungpao with steamed rice, and we left really satisfied! Ended with a ‘Wall of chocolate’ that was just gorgeous. Good service and portions in a fantastic setting.“

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

“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.“

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

“Visited friends there. Food was very hot, served quickly. Atmosphere was nice too. Prices were good for the quality. Like most Chinese restaurants the food is Americanised. Would love some true cuisine as an option. Worth the drive for us though and if in that area again, would stop“

“great place great food“

“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!“

“Easily my favorite Chinese food in the state. Been going to China moon since I was very young. Moved out of state for a long time, came back ~10 years later and the staff recognized me. They're very nice people and they make great food.“

“Best Chinese food around!“

“The food is quite good on the Cantonese-American style. They're basically only open for dine-in service at lunch time, I think. I did eat lunch in the restaurant but it's clear they much prefer people to order take out. Most of the dining room is blocked off. It's a shame because the retro exotic decor would make it a great place to have dinner.“

“For the amount of food you get for the price you spend. Just wow. My box of food was like 2lbs or more for like 15 bucks. I'm talking leftovers it so much food. And the taste is wonderful. We probably order here once a month if not more.“
