33 Best Chinese Restaurants near Pontiac

“I have enjoyed eating there for many years and would recommend it to all my friends. I hope they open for inside dinning soon.“

“This restaurant is run by an old Chinese couple.
The large quantity of food is very good for the price.
They only accept cash.
It’s kind of hidden away so you need to be looking for it to find it.
No dining inside (only a few chairs, no tables). Very fast to cook food, so order, take it and go.“

“This is that hole-in-the-wall Chinese spot your grandpa used to rave about and it still is. Been here since the early 90s for a reason! The sear and smokiness on the fried rice I got was to perfection and it was the old g-ma that cooked it, very legit American Chinese cuisine“

“The lettuce wraps were amazing 👏 🤩 😋. We got the lobster dumplings also, they were good but would be much better seared or fried so I wasn't much of a fan of them. And the spicy sesame chicken was amazing..... we wanted to try dessert but we were so full we almost rolled out of the restaurant. I will definitely be back. I had a great first experience!!!“

“We had dinner on Sunday and Ethan was our waiter. He was very welcoming, attentive, and went above and beyond. Our food was delicious and we had a great time. Thanks!“

“We order from here regularly (almost once a week regular) and the food is always fantastic!! Every dish we have tried has been delicious! The food is hot, well prepared with generous portions. You definitely get your monies worth! The staff is always friendly and courteous and have even helped carry stuff to the car! We love Harvest Garden!! This is a place that does not disappoint! If you are looking for a new place to try, you need to go here!!“

“Really fun experience with family and friends. Inexpensive for the amount of food. The staff were pleasant too. I definitely will go back.“

“Came here with a tour. Happy to see that it was packed with local people of different ethnicities, having a good time, sharing the same wonderful food. Though much of the dishes are quite Americanised, like the icy cold chicken and Chinese broccoli with beef, glad to see that it is with dedication and heart; nothing mundane or tasteless like the “pre-packaged” food that we are used to now in Hong Kong. BBQ-Pork “Chaa-Siu”, however, could easily be the best I’ve had in the US in the 7 years I lived there. You have to try it. Authentic, juicy, and tender.

I am also pleasantly surprised to see most waiters and waitresses here speak Cantonese.

Hope the business continue to thrive.“

“Wonderful little place inside strip mall. A little outdated but it adds to the speciality of this place. They were really busy with carry out orders but the food is incredible with large portions and extremely fresh. Nice staff very prompt and efficient“

“Food is very good! Egg rolls are not greasy like many other restaurants. First time for us, we’ll definitely be back!“

“My wife and I have lived/worked in both China and Taiwan, her family is originally from Hong Kong and this is the best “American style” Chinese food in SE Michigan. Great meals, great portions, and awesome service. This place is busy for a reason!“

“My friends and I love going to Jiang Nan Noodle House. My friend from NY was visiting and recommended we try this place. One of the best Chinese noodle place in my opinion. I like their Veggie Flat Noodle dish. The broth noodle soup can be a little less flavorful. My other favorite dish is the mung bean noodles appetizer. I do see a lot of Asians eating at this restaurant, so it does mean its good! (They also play Kpop songs, and I heard my favorite Girls' Generation song Mr. Taxi last time I was there) Service is okay!“

“New China is the best Chinese food I have had ever. The atmosphere is vintage, authentic, cozy, and incredible. The staff is nothing but nice and accommodating. The food was outstanding. I absolutely will be back. Anyone who doesn’t like this restaurant doesn’t appreciate authentic Chinese cuisine.“

“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.“

“The first time i went the welcoming was nice and pleasant we had dine in. Me and my husband went last night the welcoming was okay but the waitress we had was not nice or pleasant she ask what did we like to drink we said water so she took our order. so she brought our food out to us. after that she never come back to ask if everything okay or to refill our water .“

“Food was fresh and delicious and plentiful. Extras were taken with us to have another whole meal again. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Delicious yummy 🤤 ! It was very nice atmosphere!“

“Delicious food, reasonable price, and large portions“

“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?“

“First time getting food from here. I had Sweet and sour chicken. They gave a large portion with a beautiful presentation. The only complaint I have is the food was very bland. It could have been seasoned better. I will go back for a different selection.“

“Love Oceana Inn! Everyone is so friendly & the food is amazing— hard to beat!!!“

“Fantastic food. You must try the dim sum if you go.“

“This is the best classic Chinese food in the Midwest, and I lived in Chicago for the last 3 years. This place is my childhood and the only place I still go after my mother passed. I tell everyone to come here. I spread the word like legend. Beautiful & passionate people creating consistently incredible“

“Our food was good!
I had the sweet & sour chicken with vegetable fried rice and my wife had the almond boneless chicken with fried rice.

While I agree with some comments that their “fried rice” is not the most “fried” to the level that you see at other places, the quality of the food overall was good.

We both enjoyed our food and thought this to have been one of the better Chinese food experiences we have had in the past!

We will come back.
Thank you“

“Deliciously food great owners. Love their hospitality love to go there all the time“

“I’ve lived in Waterford for 21 years, and this is by far my favorite little dive Chinese restaurant. The customer service is always phenomenal, and the food is consistently delicious. I’ve never had a bad meal here. Their sweet and sour chicken is the best, the almond chicken is amazing, and the wonton soup is always excellent. On top of that, the portions are huge — enough food for 2–3 meals every time.“

“Delicious Bourbon Chicken 🍴“

“amazing food as always. They have the best sushi rolls in town especially the shrimp tempura rolls with a sweet eel sauce. They also excellent selection of noodle and rice dishes and great service.“

“Great food and portions. Very nice lady that runs the place.“

“Our family visits Michigan about once a year, and there’s one restaurant we always make sure to stop at — Asian Express! It’s seriously delicious. Not just good, but so amazing that once you taste it, you can’t stop thinking about it.

The dish we never skip is the spicy fried fish. We always order two servings haha. I’ve never heard of or tasted anything like it before. Every bite is a flavor that can’t be imitated, strangely addictive and unforgettable.

And the sweet and sour pork! It comes out freshly fried, crispy on the outside and perfectly tender inside, not overly sweet. Every bite makes you go “Wow~”.

The stir-fried squid is huge, too. We usually save some leftover sauce and mix it with rice for another meal — and it’s still unbelievably tasty. Our whole family keeps exclaiming how good it is while eating.

We also can’t skip the dumplings and shrimp fried rice. The dumplings are crispy outside and juicy inside, and the shrimp fried rice has such amazing flavor. Even with five of us eating, we kept going “Wow, wow” the whole time haha.

The parking lot is spacious, but the dining area inside is a bit small. That’s why we usually go around 4 PM when it’s less crowded. That way we can enjoy our meal comfortably.

Most of all, the owner is incredibly kind. Even though we only come once a year, she remembers us and sometimes gives us free rice or dumplings — it’s really touching. Last year, during our five-day stay, we went twice, so there’s no reason not to go haha. Honestly, we’re even thinking about going again tomorrow.

If you don’t go, you’ll regret it. Our family absolutely recommends this place. Once you taste it, you’ll keep thinking about it — it’s a must-visit when you’re in Michigan!“

“By far one of the best locations I’ve encountered in a while!!! Portions aren’t stingy. Rice is steamed to perfection. I’ve even tried the new lemonades!! Excellent customer service first thing when they open!!! Thanks you for treating me as family!! These employees are wonderful!! Food’s awesome too! Always wearing their gloves n polite!!!“

“I am staying in a nearby hotel, I placed my order online and it was ready when I arrived.
The other reviews mentioned the food is only available for pick up. There are no seating options available inside the restaurant. I ordered the sesame chicken and it was very good. The portions are very generous. I will definitely return to try something else.
This restaurant is tucked in a shopping center. Parking for pick up was easy.“
