38 Best Chinese Restaurants near Sylvan Lake

“China Express is hands down one of the best spots around! The service is always fast, friendly, and welcoming—you can tell they really care about their customers. The food is consistently fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Every dish tastes like it’s made with care, and the portions are generous for the price.“

“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!“

“Delicious food and consistent service. Nice portions and great prices it’s like a hidden gem in Pontiac. Like this may seem dramatic but this may be my new FAVORITE Chinese restaurant in Oakland county and I’ve tried many. The food is delicious and affordable and that matters.“

“I have to say, the last time I was at Hong Hua was pre-Covid, and it was amazing back then—so when I saw a TikTok saying they were open for lunch again, I knew I had to go back. My buddy sent me the video and I was like, “When are we going?” So we finally went, and let me tell you… this place is STILL absolutely incredible.

I ordered the almond boneless chicken, and it was phenomenal—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and everything I hoped it would be. The egg drop soup? Oh my God, easily some of the best I’ve had. And the egg roll was delicious, crispy, and packed with flavor.

Hands-down, the food is fantastic and the service is truly top-notch. Hong Hua continues to be one of the best spots around, and I’m so glad they’re serving lunch again. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I enjoy stopping by here. The people who run this establishment love what they do. They're always feiwndly and kind. The side dishes are delicious (especially the pork belly and handmade dumplings!) It's a calm atmosphere if you want to get some cozy food, and I've enjoyed eating both indoors and taking my food to go!“

“Best Chinese food in metro-Detroit, hands down! Nothing frozen, all fresh..they hand bread the chicken and it is fried to absolute golden brown perfection! The general Tao’s sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Egg rolls are light and crisp. Happy you is amazing consistent, I’ve been a customer for 10+ years and I’ve never been disappointed. They are also extremely friendly, portions are big and the prices are very reasonable! A+++“

“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!“

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

“My go to “takeout” chinese restaurant in the area; great staff, generous portions, fresh food with great flavors🫶🏿I try different things on their menu and never disappointed. Their brown gravy is SO GOOD lol; I cook and bake and would do anything to know how they flavor their brown gravy for their Almond Chicken😅I always order a couple extra brown gravies just to keep in the fridge for other food I eat🙏🫶🏿I’d say try anything on the menu that sounds appetizing to you💯😁“

“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“

“THE BEST SUSHI EVER! I just had their sushi yesterday and am stilling thinking about it ! I recommend the sexy lady rolls- it’s so perfect. Spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail, avocado and three different types of fish eggs on top. I also love that they have red clams too which I can’t find most other places.“

“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.“

“Food is fresh and good. Credit card fee takes the joy away. Bring cash.“

“Moved to Pontiac and this is just down the street from me. Ordered General Tso chicken and for $11 I got like 2 lbs. in a big white Styrofoam box (packed) They do NOT skimp on the portions and the Pork fried rice was amazing and the Egg drop soup was also good. I have their menu on my refrigerator and plan on ordering almost everything on the menu before the year is out.“

“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.“

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

“We ate there on Sunday, March 1. While the became busy, the service NEVER lacked. Our service was excellent. She was so pleasant, accommodating, helpful and happy. The food was also great. Mom wanted some traditional Chinese food with bean sprouts and our waitress helped mom find a number of options that gave her the vegetables she wanted. She was also very accommodating for our 3.5 year old grandson- she gave him special treats. My husband said we were at Wing Lauk about 13 years ago but began to goto another restaurant that was closer, but not as good. We will definitely be coming back here when we want Chinese cuisine.“

“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 food, reasonable price, and large portions“

“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.“

“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?“

“Best wings in town. I got the Krispy Chinese-BBQ wings with the delicious Asian sauce. Best wings hands down.
My other favorite dish is the sesame chicken which is delicious and fabulous every time. The Cholent was amazing. I will be eating from here again.“

“Good chow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“I've occasionally ordered take-out from this place and on my last visit decided to dine in. The dining area was spacious and busy with othwrs also enjoying their meals.

The food was fresh and tasty as expected. The hostess and waitress were attentive amd served well. Some argument erupted in the kitchen that was loud and distracting. The hostess continued as if it wasn't happening. The diners and waitress certainly noticed.“

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

“New to the area, and tried out several restaurants so far. MOY KONG is the best by a long stretch! We were concerned by the reviews so we were specific with our order. MOY KONG did not disappoint. Our first bite was so delicious, we forgot to take a pic of the full serving!! I didn't even need the soy sauce that's often complimentary to a dry, sticky fried rice. Three stars on the atmosphere only because we didn't know it was a storefront with no dine-in, and down from a convenience store😔“

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

“The staff are always friendly, the atmosphere feels authentically Chinese, and the food is not only delicious, but is generous in portion size. As a rice fan, I cannot gush enough about their rice; it’s the best rice I’ve ever had. I always take at least one day out of my week (sometimes two days) to buy some fried rice from China Village. The rest of the food I’ve had was amazing, too. I can’t recommend this place enough; if you love Chinese food like I do, you do yourself a disservice by not coming here.“

“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!“

“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“

“Surprisingly good for such a small place. I especially like the hot & sour soup. Seems like every place makes it a little different, some good, others, not so much. Their version is awesome. Also, the pad Thai - very tasty.“

“Delicious Bourbon Chicken 🍴“

“Service was fast and very nice.

Tried the sesame chicken with fried rice, egg roll, and a side of crab rangoon.

Best egg roll I've had, crispy yet soft to the bite, fresh on the inside.

Crab Rangoon was too onion forward for my taste, a lot of onion.

Fried rice was solid, could've used some of that onion they used in the rangoons

Sesame chicken was very sweet, almost too sweet, solid pieces of white meat chicken but the breading wasn't as crispy as I like it. Feel like it started that way, but then they dressed it with the sauce and it soaked in.

Overall pretty solid, will be back to try other things“

“Delicious authentic Chinese food. The kung pow chicken and pickled cabbage with fish were fantastic. The dining area consists of several smaller tables, but they could easily accommodate a group of 8. Nice place for a casual conversation, as it's typically quiet here“
