A wide range of Chinese restaurants are local to Detroit, but three of them stand out for their quality, customer service, and delicious meals. Read on to discover our top favorites.
3 of Detroit’s Best Chinese Restaurants
1. Midtown Shangri-La
If you’re looking off of the regular menu, we especially enjoy spicy soft shell crabs, scallion crispy pancakes, and spicy quail as appetizers. For your main course, we recommend one of the combination platters such as the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, the Cashew Chicken, or the Sweet and Sour Breaded Grouper Fish Fillet to get the best value. Finish it all off with a scoop of coconut, ginger, mango, vanilla, or green tea ice cream for a sweet treat.
2. The Peterboro
The Peterboro specializes in Chinese-American cuisine available for take-out or delivery. To start your meal off, we suggest the crispy Chinese chicken wings tossed sweet and spicy habanero sauce, the crab rangoons with chili plum sauce, or the sweet and sour cauliflower for a vegetarian option. The Peterboro’s dumplings have gotten rave reviews, so be sure to try the shrimp & scallops dumplings with caramelized leeks or the mushroom dumplings with lemongrass.
Rice and noodle dishes include duck, beef, chicken, shrimp, and vegetables cooked with either Lo Mein or fried rice. When it comes to your entree, we love the Sesame Chicken with brown sugar soy sauce, the Kung Pao Chicken (or Tofu) with snow peas, and the Teriyaki Salmon with sweet potato noodles. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, be sure to grab yourself a jasmine or matcha cheesecake to pair with lavender, matcha, or mango bubble tea.
3. Dynasty Chinese Food
Try a Chow Mein or Chow Suey entree with chicken, roast pork, shrimp, beef, vegetables, or the house special. Another delicious choice for your main course is one of the Egg Foo Young omelets such as roast pork or lobster served with white rice. You can’t go wrong with a house special entree, and we recommend the Three Delicacies with shrimp, beef, and chicken, the Jade Scallops in ginger sauce, and the King of the Sea with lobster and crab.
From the first forkful of your appetizer to the last spoonful of dessert, you’re sure to enjoy every bite at one of these restaurants. Once you’ve cleaned your plate, be sure to visit James Martin Chevrolet for the best deals on vehicles and services!
