16 Best Chinese Restaurants near Saline

“Joyful House is hands down the best Chinese food not only in Saline but in the greater Ann Arbor area. My family gets the same takeout order at least one night a month. Our relatives from out of town always want Joyful House when they come to visit! The food is always pretty expensive per dish but worth it. Every other local Chinese restaurants' dishes are bland and service is poor compared to Joyful House. Once you taste it you'll never want Chinese from anywhere else!“

“They have the best Chinese food in the area. The food is delicious and the prices are very accesible.
They only have two tables so it's more like a place to take out the food or gather in small groups.
I'm so grateful that I found this place 8 years ago or so, I stop by here at least once a week.“

“Lan City is a simple place with great food. The interior isn’t anything particularly special, but it isn’t bad and gets the job done. The menu is dense with lots of good options, especially their noodle specialties. I was served quickly, and I got the laksa noodles with a side of the scallion pancake. I didn’t realize how big the portions are. Everything was large, and I had to take the pancakes home. The laksa was rich with lots of seafood, and the noodles were delicious and toothsome. Like the name of the place suggests, the noodles are really the star of the show. I’d definitely recommend eating here if you enjoy Asian noodle dishes, and I hope to visit again.“

“Impressed with the experience I had here. Food came out fast and hot, the atmosphere was nice, our waitress Brooke was very personable. Great to see this location improving. Would definitely go back my experience was a 5/5 and I loved the employee and how they stay on top of refills for all their tables. I recommend this restaurant to friends and family because I loves the experience and environment in this location.“

“Anytime I am in or near or driving by Ann Arbor I stop to get a 2 Rice Noodle dish / Lo Mein dish / and whatever speciality dish sounds good at the time. Thats enough to feed the whole family of 5 and still have left-overs. I've introduced friends to Kimg Shing easily one of my Fav take out places. Did I mention that we live 45 minutes away and still one of my go-to“

“New outside seating place in downtown Ann Arbor.“

“delicious! great people! we went and ate inside the staff was very friendly!“

“Dining in, lady was rude. Restaurant was cold, felt like no heat on in dining room. Food got cold very quickly, especially the soup. Carry out is the best option in winter month's. Apparently owner trying to conserve on heat bill...burrrrr!!!“

“We are soooo happy we gave TK WU a try when visiting Ann Arbor. The food was amazing! I ordered The Broccoli Chicken expecting your run-of-the-mill experience only to have the BEST Broccoli Chicken I’ve ever experienced. You have spoiled me, lovely TK WU, and now every other version will be subpar. The staff were also SUPER adorable. We noticed how cute they were with their regulars and wishing them well and safe travels for the holidays. LOVE IT! They clearly loved their guests and it was precious to see. The restaurant was decorated in red for the holidays and walls were covered with pictures of what appeared to be friends and family. This place was so cozy it felt like being welcomed into someone’s home for lunch. Definitely 10/10 recommend! We can’t wait to come back the next time we’re in the city.“

“great food big portions . the food was really delicious and filling“

“Hot Pot Chen will forever be one of my comfort restaurants and one of my favorite Chinese spots in Ann Arbor. My family has been going there since I was little, back when it was still Gourmet Garden, so every time I eat there it honestly feels like getting a taste of my childhood again.

Some of my staple favorites have stayed the exact same all these years because they’re just THAT good. The lamb in two styles is seriously one of the best dishes I’ve ever had at any Chinese restaurant anywhere. I genuinely don’t think I’ve had another place prepare it quite the same way. Absolute perfection every single time.

Their sesame beef is also unreal. Crispy, sweet, savory, rich, beefy — it almost tastes like savory candy in the best possible way. I think it’s genuinely one of the best Chinese entrées in Ann Arbor.

I’ll also forever ride and die for their garlic chicken because it feels like the perfect balanced comfort meal with tons of vegetables and the most fragrant garlicky sauce. And as a lifelong dumpling lover, their pan-fried dumplings and dumpling sauce are always mandatory. I love a dumpling with a slightly thicker wrapper that can really soak up all the delicious sauce, and theirs absolutely hit every time.

Another longtime family favorite is the mango beef, which sounds unexpected but somehow works so well.

I also just love the nostalgia of the restaurant itself — especially the big back room with the massive round tables and spinning lazy Susan trays that always made dinners feel special growing up.

Now that I live only a few minutes away, it’s become even more dangerous for me because I crave it constantly. Forever one of my go-to spots.“

“My sick partner and i ordered out of convenience but were very surprised! the employees were kind enough to seperate the broth from the noodles so nothing got soggy. huge portions and great prices. could use some more seasoning sometimes but that is my only complaint.“

“Great Quality food, you can select "Classic" or Authentic Chinese, there are many tasty options to choose from 🥰“

“Things have changed quite a bit since I went to UofM and mostly in a good way. I wish there was an authentic Chinese noodle place when I was here.
This joint was carved out like a student cafe with bar stools along the walls and around the sushi bar in the middle, there are a few tables, cafeteria style, nothing fancy.
The noodles in the brisket beef noodle soup are truly handmade, but to me it was a bit over cook, not enough chew. On the other hand the soup flavor was legit, balanced five spice. The brisket was tender and there is a large portion of it. The Singapore Noodle has always been my favorite noodle dish because of the curry flavor and I love thin vermicelli noodles stirfried. Most places don't know how to make it right, too wet or the flavor is underwhelming. Aside from a little too much oil, this dish here is perfect. If they could add a little bit of Chasu in it, it would complet it. Finally, the bubble tea, I would give the tapioca a 7/10, but that Milk Tea is terrible, not much tea flavor and all sugar. I would try the fruity ones next time and see if they are any better.
I will try their Ypsi location next time.“

“I gave 5 stars because I always really enjoy coming to this location. The staff is really friendly & they seem to all work together really well. However, I have stopped going to Panda Express entirely because I don't like that they don't willingly provide customers with sauce cups anymore. This isn't unique to this location so I don't want to punish them for it. This location will at least accommodate me if I ask for one & I can't say the same for other locations. I just feel bad whenever I ask for one & it makes me feel like Panda Express doesn't value me as a customer. I only ask for them if I'm buying the rangoons or an egg roll but it baffles me that I have to ask & the staff seems reluctant to provide me one every time.

The sauce cups probably cost less than $0.25 as a company so making me ask for one, especially if I'm spending money on sides, just doesn't sit right with me.“

“Beef and Broccoli - Excellent!!
House Special Lomein - Amazing!!!
Pork Spare Ribs - Excellent!!
Dumplings - Ok, very large in size, but Ok flavor
Orange Chicken - Not good, chicken way overcooked, do not order“
