I love that you can get really great, authentic Chinese food at Evergreen, as well as really great American Chinese! We did the latter recently, and I was impressed! Started well with a delicious Yuzu Lager. I will absolutely be getting this any and every time I go, if it stays on the menu. Also got the Garlic String Beans, General Tso's Chicken, Crispy Duck, and Fried Rice. Was very impressed! Everything was delicious, very flavorful. But! NOT too salty or too oily. I was impressed that the duck actually had a generous amount of meat. Great spot for dine in or take out! read more

Great for a quick respite for lunch. Calm dining room, good service and great lunch specials. Full menu is available if you want more than a lunch portion. My go-to is ma po tofu with pork. It's rich and very tasty over rice. The wonton soup isn't what it used to be but still a fine option if you are feeling like a cup of soup. The potstickers are excellent, house made and just perfect. Stop in for lunch or order takeout from their website. First time customers that order through the website get a discount. Solid lunch read more

I'm so happy I got to experience Evergreen with the one and only Detroit CM Annette! We met up for an early dinner recently and had some delicious food and great conversation. The space is nice and bright and I loved the cute mural in the entryway. Menus are on tablets which makes it easy to see photos of each dish, which we cross-referenced with Yelp to pick the popular items. We ordered the cumin beef with cilantro, pan-fried veggie buns, Shanghai style pork buns, garlic string beans, and rice noodles with shrimp. They have a full bar but we stuck with water. Our server was great at confirming which items we ordered. I appreciated the pacing of the serving of each of the rounds of food, starting with our appetizers which we ordered first. (This doesn't always end up happening so it's worth mentioning!) I loved the Shanghai style pork buns, which actually seemed like xiao long bao or soup dumplings. I LOVE a good XLB so that was fun. The pan-fried veggie buns were interesting and seemed healthy, though I probably wouldn't order them again (though they did come six to an order so great for sharing). The garlic string beans were a highlight for me - perfectly crisp-tender and savory and garlicky... yum! I also loved the cumin beef, which is a favorite dish of mine. This wasn't super spicy but very flavorful and the beef was tender. The rice noodles with shrimp was a mild dish and delicately flavored. The shrimp was nicely cooked and it's always fun to try a noodle dish! Waters were refilled consistently and paying was easy at the table. No free fortune cookies here, but that's totally fine by me. I will say that this is a popular area with lots of great local spots nearby so parking can be a bit tricky - I was able to find a metered spot a few blocks away. I'll be back! read more

A stable rainy day food stop for us. The pan fried veggie buns are excellent. I also love the schezuan beef stew, it is so spicy and flavorful. In regards to service, we had left our keys in the restaurant and our waiter ran after us to return them to us! We were so thankful and the experience in the restaurant was not far from this. The staff knows the menu very well and provides excellent recommendations. This place is great for a casual date night, meeting up with friends, or a day when you need a bowl of soul enriching food. read more

4.5 stars! This is probably the most healthy Chinese take out type joint in town. This was our first trip to Evergreen and we're told it's the best Chinese in Ann Arbor. I appreciated that the menu wasn't endless like most take out places and they had some fun twists on the menu, like curried kabobs and spicy sesame chicken. I was pleasantly surprised that the food didn't feel as heavy as most places, but it still had the distinct taste of Chinese takeout. I am still searching for the perfect crab Rangoon (so far an unassuming place in rural Illinois has the CR of my dreams) replacement, and though it was good, it wasn't the best in Ann Arbor. I *did* feel so much better about feeding my kids Evergreen though. The veggies were fresh and delicious. Their website is awesome. It lists lots of gluten free options and the exact steps it takes to prevent allergen contamination. I truly appreciate that! I was floored by the careful consideration of design in the restaurant. It's trendy, with neat mood lighting and just stunning. There are hand painted native animals on the walls and the outside is visually beautiful too. I can't wait to try more things on the menu- specifically the braised pork ribs, lo mein, and ginger chicken with green beans. I liked the deluxe fried rice a lot, though I thought there could have been more protein. I noticed that it is much cleaner, as in less greasy/ oily than other takeout joints and I greatly appreciated this. Potstickers were yummy, but somewhat plain and standard. Everyone in the house greatly enjoyed the beef and broccoli. Overall, this place is fantastic and I can't wait to try more of the menu. read more

This is a smaller version of the Evergreen on Plymouth Road, and as such it has a limited amount of menu choices. I ordered the Chicken w/Mixed Vegetables in a Ginger& Garlic Sauce, with Wonton Soup and Fried Rice for $14 from the Luncheon Menu. The order arrived quickly. Unfortunately, the entree was delivered at the same time as the soup. So the the soup was getting cold as I dug into the entree. The entree was OK, pretty much standard "Americanized" Chinese food. The Wonton Soup had 2 wontons in it, and the fried rice was filling. It was an OK pit stop during the AA Art Fair. Service was polite, quick and courteous. Bathroom was spotless and odor free. read more

Reputable place, Great service... Honestly haven't been here just know from years of being a local. They are a go to place when in need. read more

Very decent Chinese food at a reasonable price. I ordered the sesame chicken with white rice for $15 and the hot and sour soup for $3. The hot and sour soup wasn't my favorite - it was a bit lacking in flavour and I would have preferred a less brothy soup. However, the sesame chicken was really delicious and tender. The white rice was a little gummy but a generous portion. I ordered the chicken with extra sauce and it wasn't overly saucy, but whatever. My parents both tried the chicken and commented that they really liked it, so overall this place was a pretty big crowd pleaser. Not sure if they do any lunch specials at a discount but I'd be interested in looking into that. Might be my new go-to Chinese restaurant. read more

This family-owned Chinese restaurant is serving up authentic, delicious food and they have so many great options for vegetarians and vegans. It's located right downtown on Liberty so you can street park or choose one of the many lots nearby. It's right by Bills Beer Garden and Blank Slate so really the location is primo! I ordered a bit of everything. Their jasmine green tea was so warming and smooth. The scallion pancakes were THE BEST. Loved the veggie buns and dumplings too. The MaPo tofu was made vegan for us and it was delicious and hearty. Loved the eggplant and tofu casserole. Don't forget the noodles! Everything was just so good. The service is some of the best I've had and nicest and the interior is super modern but has these zen moments. Just loved it. Definitely give these folks a try! It's like eating dinner with family! read more

Very good food. Service was fast. They forgot one of our drinks but left it off the bill, so all good. Food had great flavor. Ambiance was nice... modern. read more

I had been in this location previously and the new Evergreen space is so cute! The murals are so cute and you can tell that a lot of thought was put in to decorating. Staff are so friendly and helpful going over items on the menu and knew exactly which items could be made vegetarian or vegan. The food is so good. I'm not exaggerating. I thought about the scallion pancakes for like a week after going. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Pretty busy weekend in Ann Arbor and it showed last night. Staff spread pretty thin, service was "so-so". Party of six, we had sesame beef and sweet & sour chicken for the table. Pot stickers, Crab Rangoon & edamame as apps. Food came out not as hot as one might wish; may have been sitting for a while. Definitely would try again on a less busy night. Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff. read more

Really enjoy this spot. The ambiance is cool and the food is always good. If you are downtown I recommend you go.

Found this through yelp reviews. Good service. Good food. Reasonable prices. We would return joyfully.

Good Chinese dishes with young people flair. Also good decorations. Location is a bit off the beaten path. read more

My lunch was served cool, not hot, and the chicken fried rice I ordered to take home was the worst I've ever had (including frozen from a store and made -from-scratch when I botch it): under-cooked, dry, and bland. Their restaurant on Plymouth Road is FAR better in my opinion, and I go there a lot. The food there is consistently delicious and served hot. I won't be going back to the downtown location. read more

My new fav spot in town - the mapo tofu is heavenly spice filled deliciousness. The waitress said adding pork would add flavor and boy was she right! I drizzled it on top of my pork fried rice which tasted like it was straight out of the fire. They really got the smoky taste just right - it was like the wood fired char you would get from a perfect pizza crust. It didn't need any soy sauce or hot sauce or any extra condiments. Definitely coming here again read more

We've eaten many times at their other location but this is our first time downtown. We had 3 dishes: Crispy Duck, Rice noodles with shrimp, and Shrimp with vegetables. The duck was over cooked but would have been nice cooked a little less. The rice noodles were okay but lacked flavor, and shrimp with vegetables needed more depth to the sauce. Would have given them a 3.5. Service was friendly. Ambience is nice and has a clean aesthetic. read more

Cool spot located in Ann Arbor. Vegetarian/vegan friendly. I am an Asian food snob and I found this spot pretty good. We ordered hot and sour soup, garlic string bean, eggplant stir fry, kung pao tofu, salt and pepper tofu, and tofu & mixed vegetables, and vegetable lo mein. All the dishes were extremely flavorful and tasty, but my favorites in particular were the eggplant stir fry and Kung pao tofu. Everything tasted fresh. Only complaint was I wish the food/soup was served piping hot. The inside is also very cute. Would def come back here again! read more

Loved the veggie dumplings, defiantly recommend dipping in sauce. BBQ pork buns were also amazing, wish there was more pork and less buns. Spicy sesame chicken was the perfect spice and such a nice plate to share. Inside was so cute, lots of candle and such a good ambience!! read more

Our family of 4 loved our dinner at Evergreen. The potstickers and strawberry green tea were favorites. Staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. Restaurant was fresh and new! We'll be back again & again. read more

Delish. Loads of choices and a range of flavors and selections. Modern, clean, and lovely decor. Friendly and prompt service.

We love their late night hours and the fact that we can indulge on a large portioned Chinese meal. We have only had takeout and their service has been quick and lovely. Hoping to stop in to sit down and try something more authentic than our sesame chicken late night cravings haha (but it just hits every time). The inside is actually really nice which surprised me but would be a fun date night spot. They have a location on Plymouth as well, have yet to try. read more

The hot and sour soup was good and we enjoyed the garlic green beans but we did care for the salt and pepper shrimp-- heads and shells left on so the flavoring didn't permeate the shrimp. Also the shrimp seemed mushy like it was frozen, thawed and refrozen and thawed. Really can't do that with seafood. Disappointing.... read more

This place is calm and beautiful. Food is great. Reasonable amount of options for vegan gluten free.

One of favorite restaurants in AA! That's saying a lot. Never too busy, great service, food is great! I always try something different and have never been disappointed. read more

Great dishes. Staff is attentive and professional. Seems to do a good takeout business but still able to find a table inside. Photos of dishes on electronic menu are very helpful. read more

A great mix of authentic Chinese dishes and Chinese-American food too! Cumin lamb and beef noodle soup remind me of home. Excellent takeout too! Eat the Shanghai (soup) pork dumplings there, though. read more

Excellent food and service. I love the authentic taste and quality of the food. I've never had a bad experience at either the location.

Beef noodle soup was amazing. 9/10 but the rest of the dishes I got were not as good. Ma po tofu was just ok maybe 5/10 and pork belly was also alright 7/10. Overall fine and would maybe eat again to try different dishes but just alright. read more

Evergreen Down is the BEST Chinese restaurant in Ann Arbor. It's soo much better than other places I've frequented. Especially fabulous is the Szechuan Fish, Wow--tons of fish in an amazing broth. Also love the House Spicy Dry Pot with Fish Fillet, Bamboo Shoots with Pork and Tofu (REAL bamboo--not canned), King Oyster Mushroom Chicken. They are a bit light on vegetables, so I usually get Vegetable delight in white sauce to go with whatever else we get. Mmmmmmmmmmmm read more

Have eaten here twice recently. This place is great from the food to the staff to the space. Will be back more often. Give this place some love, we want it to stick around. read more

I love this place! Definitely get their soup. It's so flavorful, comforting, and nourishing. I have my friends bring me carry out from here when I'm sick, and it makes me feel so much better! read more

A hidden gem! Slightly off the main drag but well worth the visit. Very clean with seemingly swift takeout as well as dine in options. Delicious Chinese staples as well as more unusual options on the menu, all at reasonable prices, which is unusual for downtown Ann Arbor. Simple "tablet" menus that seem to be ubiquitous these days. Good service. We'll be back! read more

Steamed dumplings had thick dough and little filling. Kung pao chicken had no -- no! -- red peppers and was nearly tasteless. Garlic stringbeans also tasteless. Very disappointing, because I had heard good things about this place. I threw away most of the food. read more
