45 Best Chinese Restaurants near Southgate

“This place has excellent Chinese food you can tell because their phone never stops ringing there’s always people coming and going and I usually have to wait 25 to 30 minutes to get my food which is unusual for Chinese restaurants seeing how it seems like they’re always five minutes long and you can get whatever you want, but if they have good food, you’ll have to wait, which is normally not a problem it’s worth“

“This is my first visit to Mandarin Kitchen. I ordered #4 almond chicken combination with wonton soup and egg roll and hot tea. The almond chicken was pretty good topped with brown gravy. Wonton soup and egg roll was nice and hot and (egg roll was) crispy. 4 and 1/2 stars.“

“Me and husband are very picky when it comes time to Chinese. We are from GC/ Westland area with great Chinese restaurants so we have been on the hunt for something comparable. I was shocked how good this was. Egg foo young and Almond chicken was perfect. Shrimp fried rice perfect flavor, everything was hot and fresh considering it was DoorDash delivery. Only thing we did not care for was the beef broccoli due to meat being odd consistency. Other than that. Fantastic and I will order again. Don’t let me down !!“

“NEW REVIEW from February 2026: RECOMMEND!!: this location has improved enormously over time. I took a couple years of not visiting this location but have returned the last year and a half to two years ordering from here monthly, sometimes weekly. I grew up with Panda Express never going more than a month without it the last 12 years of my life.
This location has got it going on now! The service is fast and friendly, shout out to Crystal, we’ve noticed she’s always there when we go and everything is perfect every time!
I am so happy for this location as it’s the perfect spot to stop by when out and about.
I Highly Recommend Checking Out Panda Express Southgate!

Old Review from 4 years ago: DO NOT RECOMMEND! Panda Fanatic here, visiting every month in cities on our drive from Michigan to the south to visit family to wherever there is one on our travels through the US. THIS IS THE WORST of the WORST Panda Express I've ever been to. Dining room is closed so only drive thru available, but even with only drive thru it takes them 11 mins per car and they only take orders one car at a time. I have visited this Panda 4 times prior to writing this review in order to be sure it wasnt just a one day screw up, this is a normal thing at this location. Twice, when finally reached the speaker (25 mins later) they were out of half the items on the menu and another 10 to 15 min wait for items.. makes no sense as I have friends who manage Panda Express Stores in other cities in Michigan and they have explained the process, times, etc. Therefore they are lying or just lazy at this location. When recieved food it is always taste like old sitting food. This is a new location as of a year ago and I'm not sure how long itll last if it continues this bad...Do Not Recommend as you will have wasted your time and money for bad service and food!“

“After moving to the area noticing the restaurant we had to try. It did not disappoint in the least, very flavorful and nice portions. We will absolutely be back to try more of the menu's offerings. Chef and server were both very nice and inviting even taking our picture with small Polaroid camera.“

“Ask for Rachel she is the best waitress. She remembers your name and the types of food you like. Always willing to recommend different dishes to try!!“

“Say what you want this food was fire even the sushi 🥰🥰🥰 hollie our server please ask for her she works wed-the weekend this beautiful young lady really was a blessing sweet attentive and go beyond your expectations Fairlane location she is a young lady and a sweetheart we blessed her and she was so so sweet go see her you won't be disappointed 🥰“

“Good vibes as soon as you walk in. Nice decor. Friendly and efficient staff. Our food arrived steaming hot, very generous portions at a decent price, and delicious. My second time here and it has impressed me both times, I will be back.“

“I have been ordering from here since shortly after I moved to the area in Sept., 2018. I WILL NOT order from anywhere else. No place else is nearly as good!! We LOVE the Sweet and Sour chicken, and their egg rolls are the biggest by far. Before today, it has been a long time since I've had food from here.

Its even better than I remember. The egg roll was delicious, with a light and crispy exterior. The chicken pieces were large, and not overly breaded like other places I've experienced where there's more breading than chicken. I ordered 3 of the Sweet and Sour chicken dinner combinations and a PT of wonton soup for one adult, a teen, and 2 younger kids. I fished out ONE of the dinner between all of us. The other 2 meals are untouched, aside from the egg rolls. Dinner for 2 more days!! Yes!

This evening I had an even more exceptional experience than usual. My 5 year old son has a tree nut allergy, which includes sesame, and my oldest is allergic to peanuts. When I ordered, I informed them of the allergies for food handling purpose. I was informed at pick up that the egg rolls are fried in sesame oil. I was offered extra rice to replace the egg rolls if I didn't want them. I declined, but appreciated being informed and gave my son something else instead. They also made sure to put the egg rolls in separately from the dinner combinations, which are usually put in the box with the meal.

Absolutely perfect. I have never had a bad experience with them, and I look forward to any chance I get to order from here. All 4 of my boys love their food too!

100% HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“

“We have dined for breakfast on various occasions. The tastes of the foods was amazing. The presentation of the plates was breath taking, absolutely beautiful. The only shortfall we found in the restaurant was the BLINDING sun on the East side windows. A good set of adjustable blinds would be a welcomed addition on those East side windows. All in all, the food was so good and so hot, the presentation was beautifully displayed and the staff were friendly and well experienced. We will come back and recommend restaurant to others.“

“Very well prepared and presented. Very attentive service. Nice Menu choices.“

“Do not let the looks of this establishment fool you. The food is incredible. The inside looks like a restaurant but im unsure if they seat anyone. All the lights were off in the dining area and one section was full of boxes. The gentleman working the front desk / phones was very nice and helpful. I got the almond chicken dinner and was it packed with flavor! They also give you a huge portion of fried rice and chicken...enough to feed 2 people. I highly recommend checking out this spot if you are in the area...this might be my new go to Chinese spot.“

“Always been good! Stop every time we get to Dearborn!“

“I had the fishermans platter, I liked the 2 different fish and shrimp. Wish I would have got the fries instead of mashed( need gravy for the me ashef). But overall pretty good.
The aslakan white fish meal had 2 huge pieces of fish.“

“The food all around is always good . we love the spicey chicken and shrimp.. this is our go to place .“

“Consistently good food. Good value for your money. We usually get the sweet-and-sour chicken combination or the pepper steak combination plate. Sometimes they are so busy that it takes a while for them to answer the phone. Seems to be a family run business.“

“Went here today and the food was great the price was unbelievable and the service was excellent“

“I just picked up a carryout. Oh my!! My husband gave his pork chop suey a 10/10. He actually said it was the best pork chop suey he’s ever had from a restaurant. I have to say my shrimp with sizzling rice was an 11/10. Superb. We are both pretty discerning about food. And to have us both pleased, it was great! I can say I’m not that much of a fan of Chinese food, preferring Vietnamese, but this was such a pleasant surprise. I will become a “regular”.“

“The food and drink is creative and delicious, and the staff is friendly and patient. This is a great place to share small plates (or big plates!) with friends.“

“Been going there 50 plus years always good food and prices when you can feed 3 people twice for $15 that’s a win win“

“First time trying this place (Chinese restaurant), and I wish I had done it sooner! They offer a great mix of Cantonese and Szechuan dishes. I ordered the shrimp with Maggi seasoning, paired with steamed rice and wonton soup. The wonton soup was light and refreshing, and the shrimp were perfectly seasoned and flavourful. Generous serving for the main dish, and both dishes were simple but done really well. The house tea was perfectly brewed, and the service was prompt and excellent. Overall, a great dining experience!

Vegetarian options: They have vegetable dishes on the menu“

“I lived 4 minutes from this place, and I'd go here at least twice a week. Now that I live 30 mins from here I go once a week. The food is AMAZING! I always order #3 (sweet and sour chicken) and it's enough to fill me up and still have enough for lunch the next day. I recommend Kwong Village to anyone who love's Chinese food with outstanding service.“

“I have been a customer and have enjoyed delicious meals since it opened in 1985. We had moved away 20 years ago and whenever we came back to visit we would try to go to Shin Shin whenever possible. Staff have always been very friendly and I can honestly say I have never been disappointed in a meal. Last night my husband and I had a dinner date there. We were not disappointed. The meal was hot and very delicious. We highly recommend Shin Shin Chinese Restaurant if you are looking for the real deal. Jim & Brenda Tuxford LaSalle.“

“I have eaten here several times over the last few years, the food is always fresh, hot, and the portions are HUGE. The place is a "mom and pop". it's ran by the owners, a husband-and-wife team. Because it's just the two of them when it gets busy it takes them awhile to answer the phone and there could be as much as a 30–45-minute wait for your food. It's also carry out only. If you don't mind the no dine in option or the wait, this will probably be one of the best Chinese food places you have eaten at in the downriver area.“

“Great food, friendly staff.“

“we dined in last night..I got the orange chicken , egg roll and wonton soup.. my boyfriend got the sesame chicken and egg drop soup . The food was so good..There was enough for 3 meals. the service was good too . we will be back“

“5 + Stars ***** We really miss you!! Awesome food Friendly service“

“Ordered 1st time on a recommendation. Can't say enough as to how tasty our food was. Fresh, hot and promptly called when our order was ready earlier than said pick up time. 100% will be ordering again👍👍“

“Tried this place after my go to Chinese restaurant closed down and this place absolutely blew my old restaurant out of the water! The chicken was so flavorful and crunchy, not that rubbery chicken you get from other places. The egg drop soup was absolutely perfect as well with crispy chips to go with it. And the amount of food you get for the price is insane! You could feed a whole family with one meal! I will absolutely be ordering from here again soon and recommending it to everyone I know. This is officially my new favorite restaurant! I can’t say anything about the atmosphere or the restaurant itself because I used DoorDash, but I’m sure the dining experience is just as lovely!“

“Today my door dash order was a bit messed up. I called the store directly and they were very kind and quick with fixing their mistake. The food was very good, I especially loved the wonton soup. I appreciate them going above and beyond to make things right with my dinner !“

“I've been going here since I was a kid, I am 28 now. The food is cooked very well, not too salty. The almond chicken is my favorite, but the noodles and other dishes are fantastic also. They have the best jumbo egg rolls compared to any other restaurant. Try the Hot and Sour soup!“

“Excellent food and service. Best Chinese food downriver.“

“The best spot in the city. This has always been a staple favorite of mine and my family. I’m never disappointed in anything at all. Quality is always there! Whenever a friend asks for recommendations around the area I send them here! Panda will always have a place in my heart and tummy

“Snow Day with my Grand 👧 👧 and the bonus Grand 👧.
We spent a fabulous day in the snow yesterday. Layered up we ran a few errands and then headed to Johnny King Noodle on Fort St in Detroit. We saw the view of the Detroit River and The Ambassador Bridge and headed in to have some much needed Hot Lunch. Johnny King noodle has a large menu of Ramen and Rice Bowls. Delicious 😋. The best part is they have a kiddie noodle 🍜 that's not on the menu. They also have a Dorm room noodle 🍜 bowl that the youngsters can create their own bowls. Saves me the headache of picking through what everybodues likes are.
This was a big hit. We smashed that hot broth and 🍜 🍝 like we had a straw. Except it was chop sticks. Which is another culture experience for my grands to learn. How to use chopsticks. The 4yr old really did a good job with her chopsticks. I was impressed! Anyway, I could talk for paragraphs about this quaint little Jewel but I'll just post a Pic. We ended our day cheering on The Avatar Fire and Ash as it was the cap of our Snow Day Outting. Thank you to our waiters and the cooks they were kind and thorough. I really enjoyed the day. 😌 😌

“Jade's has always been my family's place to get dim sum. We love the Chinese menu. Been coming here for years and will continue to do so at its new location.“

“Super easy to order online, and my food was ready in just 20 minutes! Everything was fresh and delicious, with an amazing variety to choose from. Hands down the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend giving it a try—you won’t be disappointed!“

“The food wasn't that bad they give you lots plus plenty of sauces to go with it seem like they're breading isn't that tasty leaves you a little bit dissatisfied it's not quite as good as it could have been you're just glad that you finally had a Chinese food the funny thing is with the almond chicken never saw any almonds One big nagitive is CASH ONLY“

“I’ve been trying to find good Chinese food for a few years now. I live downtown on Jefferson and I don’t like the 2 located near Belle Isle.

I only ordered shrimp fried rice because I didn’t want to be disappointed.

My fried rice was perfect. The rice was a tad bit chewy but it had a great flavor which tells me it was made in a well seasoned wok. The shrimp actually had a little flavor to them. Most places the shrimp just taste boiled. I love egg foo young so I’ll be back to try that next time“

“Really nice folks and beautiful interesting interior. Been on my list opening 4 months ago. Ordered Pupu Platter, Chinese Scallion Pancakes, Large Chinese Veggies Soup and Chicken Egg Foo Young. Surprised when eating inside no plates or silverware. Everything brought out in to go containers that's okay. Absolutely fantastic Delicious Scallion Pancakes not found in many places. The quart of Spot packed full was good except broth zero flavor like water. Chicken Egg Foo Young nothing like ever had weird crunchy patties with very small amount of gravy. The very good Rice and a mega amount. Egg Roll spot on Wonderful. The bad absolutely worse ever Pupu Platter Chicken Wings dry, Crab Rangoon Yuk, Shrimp heavy batter couldn't taste Shrimp. Ribs just ok, Spring Rolls a winner and what they call Teriyaki Beef I know as Balamaki was great. I'm willing to give them another chance to change my 3 star rating. Great effort by cook just not up to par with dozen other Chinese restaurants in the area.“

“Great egg roll [Original] Great egg roll“

“I love the food! Just FYI, they switched to carry out only so no more dining in but the food is still awesome! The egg rolls are crispy and hot! I recommend the curry beef (I like it mild, my son goes with medium), sweet and sour chicken, Moo Goo Gai Pan, beef with broccoli, General Tso's, chicken fried rice, egg drop soup, ... oh, who am I kidding?? I haven't had anything I didn't like LOL! If you can't handle msg, just request them to not add it. They're really good about that.“

“The lady who takes orders is so nice and speaks Spanish as well, I remember I came in there with my dad to order and she gave me a free piece of chicken while I waited for my food. I came here to order again with my dad and she gave us a free coke with our order she was so nice, the food also taste so good and they dont take long to make your order, 10/10“

“I did a carry out. General Tso chicken...was terrible no white meat all dark (my fault I should of asked)The meat that was there was very tiny pieces with alot of thick hard batter over cooked some pieces was just all batter 1st and last time I will go.“

“Highly recommend the Vegetable fried Rice and the General T. Chicken. First time here in forever.
Support them...if your order through the website...20% discount.
My mother enjoyed it and that's all that matters...lol“

“i love their egg rolls!!!!!“
