China Town is an acceptable substitute for mostly any other mall Chinese restaurant. Although not the best (see: Panda Express) it provides exactly what you'd want if mall Chinese is what your heart desires. The environment either works for or against this establishment depending what you are into. If being surrounded by old people and teenage girls at the same time gets your rocks off, then this place is for you. If not, consider taking it to go and eating alone in one of the darker corners of the mall. read more

Worst chow mien noodles I've ever eaten in my entire 47 years on earth!! I knew the food wouldn't be top notch cuz it's a mall food court but I didn't expect it to be as underwhelming as it was. I hate wasting money on trash food read more

Absolutely beyond rude!! I get it's a busy mall food court, but the attitude from the staff was unreal. No greeting, eye rolls, and they acted like taking my order was the biggest inconvenience of their day. Definitely won't be back. read more

This food was so bad. It was so overpriced and not good. The service kept getting my order wrong and kept tryna give me chicken when I can't eat that stuff. Ambiance sucked too. I don't recommend this to anyone. 0/10 read more

China Town - Noodles rice and vegetables with shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Troy, Michigan

The food here was disgusting. I'm starting to question how fresh the chicken is because when I bit into it, it was very hard and dry. The rice had no flavor. The noodles were oily and had no flavor. Do not spend your money here. The workers are not nice either, this place needs to be closed immediately!! read more

Ever since the Stage Deli at the Somerset food court closed, China Town has become my go-to every time I go to the mall! The Honey Chicken at China Town is absolutely to die for. The Lomein is also very good, as are the Veggie Spring Rolls. Most of the food options at the Somerset food court are kind of pricy and China Town is no exception, but the portion sizes at China Town are massive. To be honest, I'm kind of baffled to see negative Yelp reviews for China Town - I've always had a positive experience here. read more

They workers were NOT helpful, they messed my order. I wanted vegetables , not chicken. I didn't complain but when i went to eat the chicken, it tasted like i was eating mashed potatoes and a dog toy. read more

China Town - Dont matter its nasty - Chinese Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Currently suffering from food poisoning day #2 after eating their beef and vegetables. My wife had their chow mein and was fine. We submitted a health department complaint after seeing other reviews of food poisoning. read more

No one else has the Spicy chicken that is served here at this mall. I've been eating here for almost 20 years and the quality/taste of the all white meat chicken cooked in tempura and then added to this sweet spicy sauce is perfect! Over the years I've gotten close to 15 people addicted to this food just by having it once. Besides Chick fil A, this is the busiest cafe at Somerset so there is always quick turn around on the food. The rice is average but the lo mein noodles are great. Get a double order of the spicy chicken and you won't be disappointed! People complain about the service but I've never had an issue. The ladies recognize me and although they're not super chatty with me, (that's because there's a huge line behind you) they've always been nice and I've never had a problem with them.... consistent as always for 20 years! read more

Decent mall chinese food. We got the general tsos chicken and mushroom chicken and fried rice. The general tsos was very sweet and tangy, but everything else was just meh. read more

Giving the 3 because it is at all mall food court. Otherwise I would give it a 2. None of the food had labels and I couldn't understand what the workers were saying. Spicy chicken and fried rice were extremely bland. Peas in the rice were hard. Just not good read more

Very bad quality and taste. I will avoid this place when I am at the food court next time.

I've been here a few times over the years, and normally I'd give them 3/5 stars, but today wasn't that great. First off - prices are fair. It's about $6.39 for a 2-meat plate, and I got orange chicken and chicken with mushrooms. You can also ask for a cup of water rather than buying a drink, but it's a SMALL cup of water. They have white rice too if you don't want the fried rice. Today, though, the chicken with mushrooms were pooling in oil, and the orange chicken was crunchy and didn't taste great ... I now have a headache. I only ate about half my plate, and I don't think I will be coming here again. Somerset should get a Panda Express! I know China Town has been here forever, though. read more

Mall Chinese food doesn't really qualify as real Chinese food by any means. But it helps when you're hungry and spending all day walking around the mall. However, China Town is probably the worst mall Chinese food I've tried. I wouldn't recommend coming here at all! Somerset lacks any type of snack options. Their food court is always crowded but the options are far and few between. They'd do great with a pretzel place for a quick snack. But that's my personal option. Anyways, back to China Town. There is a language barrier among employees and customers that in turn means you may be getting something other than what you ordered. Be careful! I recently ordered a combination plate that came with an egg roll and rice (it costs about $6.50) and all I got was my meat choice and rice. The employee helping me almost didn't give me rice at all until I said something. As for the egg roll, the employee didn't seem to care that they forgot about it. Rude. My sister ordered the same combination plate as me and her price was much less than the advertised price. I was behind her in line, ordered the same thing, and the cashier tried charging me $8! Finally I said something. It seems like the employees make up the prices as they go and don't seem to care if they overcharge you. As for the quality of food, leave your exceptions pretty low. The chicken lacks flavor and is often times fatty and lukewarm. The rice is nothing special. PF Changs is on the other side of the mall so if you have the time and money, I'd recommend this as your Chinese option at Somerset. The only plus is that they let you use your credit card. read more

TERRIBLE FOOD!!!! Broccoli was disturbingly overcooked, the egg rolls we somewhat decent but it did not live up to its expectation. It too expensive and I got so much food that I DIDN'T EVEN ORDER DO NOT COME HERE EVER RACCOONS EAT BETTER FOOD THAN THIS read more

Got super serious food poisoning not eating here ever again food is raw taste funny bad smell not great could definitely improve

Food that looks not fully cooked. Beef had absolutely no seasoning what so ever, full on plain taste. Asian workers can't even be understood by the stupid masks that get worn, and by the low level of English knowledge they have. Eating here would scare me to get food sick. Would definitely not recommend this place: read more

China Town - Chinese Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Gross!! This is quite possibly the worst Chinese food in the world. The chicken in the so-called bourbon chicken is fatty and sinue laden with foot odor flavor. The beef from the beef and broccoli just can't be beef! Maybe, but they probably buy it from overstock-prison-food.com or something. The rice wasn't fresh despite my first and final visit being in the middle of lunch hour. read more

China Town - Parts completely inedible - Chinese Near Me - Troy, Michigan

I have been coming to this place for easily two decades. The food has consistently been one big ball of grease, soy sauce, and pure happiness. I'm fairly confident the woman who runs this place has watched me grow up. Hell- i once got food poisoning here and i still come back. The charm is entirely in how horrible this food makes you feel. I have recurring dreams about this place- where i'm skipping through a field of daisy's with my togo box with my two side of chicken and london noodles in hand looking up at me with love in its eyes. Point is, if you're looking for comfort food that is going to make you regret ever being brought into this world once you inhale the entire thing, this is the place. I love it dearly and will treasure it always. read more

Never eating here!!! The customer service was terrible! The rice was so dry and bland that even the soy sauce would not make it taste better, the peppers and steak was descent, the orange chicken was so greasy it tasted like a 10 year old donut from Krispy Kream, not to menschen how they always overprice there food I had pay 10$ just for some rice, steak, and chicken, and be warned when going there, they will put so much rice and noodles on your plate that even if you were to ask them to stop they will simply not stop! NOT RECOMMENDED!!! I hope this place gets shut down!!! read more

This is a review for shopping mall food court Chinese food. You've gotta come into this fully aware that we're talking in terms of these kinds of places and not food-dom as a whole. With that said, this is one of my favorite places. It's cheap, and it's greasy, but you get a lot and it tastes pretty good. When your other choices are an overgrown salad bar, a too-long-sitting "traditional" food counter, a terrible deli, Zoup and Sbarro's, this is a welcome respite. It's going to help to eye the food, and see what's fresh and what isn't, but they get enough traffic to keep most dishes turned over pretty regularly. Don't go expecting conversation, the workers there barely speak English. And don't go expecting to use any kind of plastic, it's cash only. And a large drink? It is a very, very large drink. Save your coin and get a medium or a small, unless you REALLY want to fill up the tank. Overall, it's not a bad place to stop at. For cheap mall Chinese, it hits the spot. Just don't go expecting gourmet cuisine. read more

Their chicken is FAKE! Below all the bread and sauce is nothing but chicken fat, their beef taste like ur eating cardboard! My expectations weren't set high coming in, but they still managed to disappoint. read more

I used to wait on the owner at GFS. She is so nasty. Treated me horribly Because she knew she could. She always complained too. No matter what a deal my Boss would give her, " still not good enough!!!" I don't know why customers say the Food is bad. She must take the good food home and feed the garbage to her customers. I hope she's shut down. Karma will get you gash. read more

I thought I would write a review "update" from Christopher B.'s first review of this place almost three years ago. Unlike Christopher, I am giving this place my 5-star rating with the knowledge that I am NOT rating gourmet Chinese food. The food is pre-cooked, you point at what you want, they scoop two maybe three (if you're lucky, maybe four!) scoops of whatever it is you pointed to, they put it on a tray, you "slide it down" to the cashier, you pay for your food and PRESTO! you are ready to enjoy a plate of Chinese food in under two minutes! In my opinion, the best thing about this place is the CONSISTENT QUALITY of their food. I ALWAYS drop by China Town and get some Teriyaki Chicken and some "Hot" Chicken with their fried rice. Every single time I do, the flavor of the food is always as I remember it to be from the last time I ate here. My *minor* issue with this place is the food portion. The servers "guesstimate" how much food is in your plate so sometimes you get more, sometimes you get less. Is it really a big deal though? I mean I can get TWO dishes with my fried rice CHEAPER than the cost of a Market Fresh Combo at Arby's! You figure it out! Needless to say, if I am doing some shopping and you find me at Somerset's Food Court, chances are I am eating food from China Town. BTW, they now accept credit and debit cards Christopher! :) read more

So gross I'm still shuttering about it! Why I didn't try it before spending $9! Such a waste of money! I got the orange chicken, fried rice and spring roll. The chicken was so gross, really grisly and tasted like pork but greasier. The rice had no flavor. The print roll was dry and tasteless. Seriously the grossest meal I've had in forever. I had about 5 bites and couldn't eat the rest. read more

There is " Restaurant Chinese " and there is " Food court Chinese " 2 different worlds . So, China town ( food court Chinese ) was alright, got the general Tso with fried rice and egg roll , =s $6.14, Portion size - Basically a family picnic throw away plate with the 3 sections, main course and two side items, in my opinion another scoop of rice and a couple more chicken pieces would been more Portionly expected. Taste - for food court food is wasn't bad, I was surprised the General Tso actually had some spice, mild but noticed. o.k breading and the chicken size...well, I like em big, and these were not. Fried rice - had peas and carrots in it. a very off white color and kinda of bland. I had to put a little soy sauce to help it out with flavor. Egg Roll - Almost had that " Traditional " egg Roll taste ( and Look ) but with a hint of Spring roll in it. again... It was " o.k. Now the wife got the Sesame chicken and lo Mien, The lo mien was no where near what Lo mien should be, it was The New York style ( thick Noodle ) it to was bland and The Sesame chicken was more like Orange chicken, It had a orange, BBQ sauce, Asian flair flavor. So, we tried it and now we move on, Thou we don't go to this mall very often we probably wont miss this place. read more

China Town - Spicy chicken from Chinatown in Somerset Mall - Chinese Near Me - Troy, Michigan

See all

I realize this is 'food court' Chinese, which is a far cry from 'authentic' 'corporate' or 'side of the road' Chinese. However, even for 'food court' Chinese, it was below average. The first thing you will notice is that it is the cheapest place around in the food court, and the food looks like you would expect. The next thing you will experience is that the workers are always annoyed, rush you to make a choice at the beginning of the counter (when you've barely been able to look at anything), and really aren't nice at all. No smiles, just annoyance with what I attribute to people (understandably) not knowing what they want, teen aged kids taking too many napkins and soy sauce packets, and possibly the life of working at Somerset in general. So big deal, the 2 minutes of service wasn't great. Well, that would be forgivable if the food was even decent, but it's not, at all. The chicken has chunks of fat, and the beef is very low quality, again- even for food court Chinese. I struggled to eat it. If you order rice or anything non-meat, you might be ok. I have eaten here several times with the same result, and frankly, I don't know what I was thinking. Have very low expectations and this will work out for you. I gave 2 stars because it's a 'value' compared to everything else in the food court. read more

This was so gross. I threw most of it away. The fried rice had little flavor. The chicken was gross greasy dark meat. I ate the egg roll but it was probably the worst egg roll I've ever had. Also as others have said they are rude and to busy talking to each other to take your order. Plus it is super expensive which I understand is from being at the mall but for such bad food it's even more of a rip off. read more

Terrible customer service, rude and used their accent to there advantage to rush us out of the line, plus food were horrible. Prices weren't right, didn't give my friend a drink. Overall just trash I don't even write reviews but this place was unacceptable. Couldn't even order what I wanted probably because they didn't want to make it to order. read more

Probably the best MALL Chinese food I've come across. I'll leave it at that. Coworker and I come here probably 3-4 times a month and I can say it's pretty consistent. Huge portions. Plus you get to skip the massive crowds the Chick-Fil-A draws. read more

Why is the staff so downright damn rude for no apparent reason? I ordered from this restaurant in the past and said I wouldn't go because of the rude customer service. I decided to give them another try thinking maybe that time it's just a bad day and I was wrong. Does the owner just not care? The workers have no smile and they act you offend them by being there. I just don't understand it. I will never order food from this restaurant again and if I bring my family to the food court they will not be ordering any food from this place. read more

The Cashier has a bitchy attitude, food is ok!! Good enough if you have a chinese food craving.

Some of the best food I've ever had especially for a mall. Definitely would recommend if you like American Chinese food.

Long story short: don't eat here. I've only eaten here twice, but that's really two times too many. The 1st time I came was just before closing, and I originally only wanted noodles. They wanted to get rid of the remaining food so she gave me noodles and the entire rest of the green bean chicken for about $7. I thought that was an awesome deal but when I tasted the food it was kinda gross but edible nonetheless. I ate here again today and just wanted 2 veggie rolls and noodles (because tbh this whole food court sucks, it's probably the worst mall food court in Michigan even though it's a high class mall and they charge up the wazoo...anyways, I digress). They definitely make up a price as they go and the receipt is useless because it doesn't tell you what you're paying for exactly. I paid $7 for not even half a plate of noodles and soggy veggie rolls, and unless you want diabetes don't eat the pink sauce they give you. The noodles had no sauce whatsoever, it was literally just boiled noodles so I added some soy sauce but it barely helped. They also mix old food from the day before with new food, which is what my noodles were. Last thing, I asked for a water and the girl started making a big cup with ice, but another worker shoved a little cup already filled at me. The water was hot and tasted like it had been sitting for a long time, and between overcharging, no flavor, old food and nasty water, I'm more than angry. Everything in this food court is a rip off, but this place especially needs to close. read more

Had the opportunity to go there yesterday. First the typical rude behavior of the Chinese server who believes talking to co-workers while ignoring the customer is normal. Then the orange chicken is very fatty and it seems like they purchased the cheapest chicken waste to serve. Not worth the price and the service is terrible. The owner is crazy too. Look for another place before wasting money here. The owner will leave you a comment to never come back from an anonymous account. Let's hope this place closes soon. read more

Very poor costumer service. One of the women took my order while she was on her cell phone. The chicken is too sweet. There really isn't a difference between the sesame chicken and the general tao chicken. Also I asked for a bigger cup of water and I insisted to pay extra, but she had to be rude, probably because I was interrupting her conversation on the phone. This place is a joke as well as the service. Quite frankly a soup kitchen has better service than China Town. This place is an insult to Chinese. This place needs a new management,new workers,new cooks,and new food. read more

Worst mall Chinese food ever. Chewy chicken and beef. Where is the real chicken. Noodles slimy with no flavor. Only word from staff.."what kind of drink." Fortune cookies are extra at 10 cents each. read more

Horrible customer service . I have been coming here for 5 years but can't stand their rudeness anymore. They are always out of things and the amount that they serve is just ridiculous and when you ask him to give you the good amount they say you have to pay extra. The three ladies have been there for years and their attitudes keeps getting worse and worse. I would have fired them if I were the owner read more
