Food is amazing. The service could be better, but it's a very small family business, so I give them grace there. Everything is fresh and delicious! read more

Consistent high quality and value for generations! Formerly a West Dearborn fixture located on Michigan Avenue near Military, eliminated as part of a still unrealized urban renewal project. read more

I ordered the sweet and sour pork platter with an egg roll. The sweet and sour pork tasted old and it was dry, like it was first made months ago. The egg roll was missing something. I don't know what but it was also dry. The only thing I could salvage from the meal was barely the rice. read more

My friends recommended this place because they been going here for 30 years. They love it but I had a crummy experience with dry fried rice and burnt Szechuan chicken. read more

I went there about 5 years ago. It was ok. My usual place closed and opened under new owners. Not good. Decided to try Lim's again. Was worse than a few years ago. Waited a few months and tried again, hoping 3rd times the charm. NOPE!! I'm done. No flavor. Still looking for that place where the food is actually good. Haven't found it yet. read more

First time visitor to this restaurant! My go-to at a Chinese Restaurant is Sesame Chicken and it wasn't what I have at my family's go-to Chinese restaurant, but it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't purchase it again. The price was steep for what I received. I only got takeout, so I can't talk about the service or the ambience as I didn't truly experience it. But I can tell you in walking in to pick up my food. It did appear it would be the cleanest restaurant. I felt the decor was outdated from what I saw. Not sure I I would want to dine in. It does make me wonder what the kitchen looks like then. read more

Went there for the first time. Was very impressed with the price of food. One of the cheapest Chinese restaurants around but still with great quality. I was greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant and my food was prepared earlier than expected. Overall, a very nice establishment I will be returning to. Clean on the inside as well. read more

Lim's Garden - L18 Beef and Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Very tasty dishes. Been coming here for years. Friendly service as business carry's on with family members. Ample portions and reasonable prices. read more

The food is fresh. Taste like the old chinese restaurants with bell peppers and pineapples in the Sweet and Sour. Food was hot!! The food is so good that I drive over 20 minutes to go to this place. Good service too read more

Always great food, gone there since they've been on Carlysle in Dearborn. Before that went to Mich Ave Lims (same owners then) and a favorite place. read more

Had the almond chicken with gravy and chicken fried rice the food was okay they have the best gravy its the kind they used when most of the chines restaurants cared about the taste and the quality of their food overall not close to the best but okay read more

They do not have a dine in option, carry out only. The people running this place are super nice. The orders are always correct. The food is always pretty good. They get a steady stream of business and sometimes you might have to wait an extra 5 minutes or so. read more

When it comes to Chinese food I'm a pretty picky eater. I tried this place twice for lunch and ordered Shrimp Fried Rice with an egg roll. The rice was very flavorful and well seasoned. I asked them to add green onion as well. The egg roll was really tasty, wish I ordered two! Lately shrimp fried rice in different places has been very bland, so I was excited to get something with some flavor finally. Will try something different next time. Also the customer service was pretty good, the lady in the front was extremely nice and inviting. read more

Authentic Chinese and a great price. Never had a bad experience here and we always Lims over any other Chinese restaurant.

Nice to have this just a few blocks from home. Very good Chinese food at a decent price. Seems many know this though because they are always busy. read more

One of those places people should try. Older Chinese place, the food is consistent and good. We just recently moved to this area, and this has become our go to Chinese food. read more

There food here is great!! Never dissapointed ever! Always fresh so make Shure to call at least a hour or so before ur ready to go get there because they make everything to order witch I like because most Chinese food places have it already done not these guys though they are definitely my go to Chinese food place read more

This little place is just awesome! If your used to red plum sauce ask for the sweet and sour sauce that they give with the other plates, the duck sauce that they give is just gross , make sure to remind them of hot mustard if that's to your liking ... EverythingCrab Ragoo I've ordered has been the best in our town! ********* read more

The best local Chinese food! I can't say enough good things about this place and the hard working owners. Please try them if you haven't yet, you won't be disappointed. read more

My family and I have been going to this restaurant religiously for the past 10 years, the food is always ready on time, and prepared to perfection. The owner and her family are always so sweet and kind, perfect place to pick up some food when you don't know what's for dinner. read more

I REALLY wanted to like this place, but oh my god. We ordered out from here on New Years Eve, and i dont know if the cooks and staff just didn't care, but it was AWFUL. My wonton soup? Water, a bunch of spinach, and a dumpling. Literally, water poured over it all, not broth or any semblance of flavor or soup whatsoever, it was disgusting. The "fried" tofu in my vegetable lo mein was hardly baked let alone fried, it was mushy blocks, and "vegetable lo mein"? Hahahahaha. Green pepper and onions, that was it. Where were the veggies?! My husband, who eats everything, threw his bland, flavor-less chicken lo mein put after two bites and spit out the egg roll. The only thing edible and semi-decent was the vegetable spring roll. $50 bucks for a hard lesson on how bad this place sucks. Don't waste your money read more

Best Chinese in Dearborn. Never disappointed. Please give this carry out place a try. Szechuan chicken is my favorite. General Tso chicken is also great. Won ton soup is perfect and egg rolls nicely delicate. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating. You will enjoy this place!! read more

Always delicious food and affordable, the staff is friendly. Hidden gem I recommend to anyone who loves Chinese food!!!

Good spot if you live in the neighborhood, but there are definitely other carry out places I'd choose before Lim's. Healthy portions, but nothing really stands out and screams 'Gotta Have It!!' Service is outstanding - the front of house is extremely polite and double checks your order before hanging up the phone and again before she hands over the bags. Three stars mostly because of the crazy wait times. Minimum of 40-45 minutes, but there have been nights when I didn't see my order for over an hour. If you're local, live nearby and have a craving for Chinese food, definitely place an order - just time it out accordingly. read more

Good food quick carry out. Friendly owners. Had the sweet N sour chicken. Sauce had pineapples peppers and tomato in it. Yummy

This is the best chinese in the area hands down. We always get general's chicken and it's way better than anywhere else around here.

The quest for Chinese food continues. I figured that I've been approaching this all wrong and need to seek out the more hole in the wall places...even more so than I've already been doing. I found this shop on some side street. The neon sign caught my eye from the main road. Since I was tired and not thinking straight, I just shot from the hip and ordered up a chicken broccoli dinner combo and a small beef with broccoli. The combo came with an eggroll and chicken fried rice. The eggroll was pretty crappy as is every eggroll that I have sampled in the area. It was filled with bean sprouts and relatively little meat. The fried rice was ok, but it consisted of just chicken and rice. The chicken with broccoli was ok. Pretty average chicken and broccoli stir-fry. There was a good mix of vegetables although they were cooked until soggy. The beef with broccoli was mediocre as well suffering from the same problem with the vegetables. The reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is that the food is pretty cheap and the food is no worse than anything else I've found in Dearborn. This is a takeout place. Expect to wait at least 20 minutes for your food from the time you order. The owners are pretty smart. On the night I went in, they stuck a 10-12 year old girl at the register and had her handle orders. Now, most people wouldn't be able to yell and curse at a 10 year old girl (with the possible exception of myself and Lester, the only person who reads my reviews). This way they can take as long as they want in food preparation. Genius. Pure Genius. Bottom line: This place is cheap takeout. read more

Adequate and standard American Chinese. All the usual items are available. Not a standout by any means, but very consistent and the portions are generous. I've never had a chicken dish here that wasn't all white meat. Bonus- the person answering the phone speaks clear and fluent English. A word of caution: always ask for "no lettuce". "What? Lettuce??" you may be saying. Yeah.... They have an unusual habit of putting a thin layer of semi-shredded lettuce in the take out container before adding the food. Naturally, it becomes wilted and soggy once doused in hot liquid. Of all the food faux pas one could commit, this is as heinous as pungent cheese on fish. But not a deal breaker, as it is easy to omit. Still... WHYYYYY. Overall, what you expect from an affordable Chinese take out. read more

Now, before I get into the review, I should clarify that if you're looking for real chinese food, look else where. If you're looking for americanized chinese food, this is it. I'm not a big fan of fried dishes (I like my stir fry more), but when I feel like it, I'd get the sweet and sour chicken and mmm is that stuff good. As for my usual stir fry dish, I'd get either the beef or chicken (depending on what kinda meat I feel like eating) and peapods with mushrooms and carrots. A simple yet delicious dish. I gotta ask them to teach me how to do it! Oh, I also like their wonton soup, that's gotta be my favorite. Egg drop soup's pretty good too. And the spring rolls, I usually get that. Okay I think drool's about to start dripping from my mouth, thinking about it is making me crave it! The owners are pretty nice and easy going, making my experience even better. The reviewer underneath me gave me a good laugh, cause I think I had the same server and I gotta say, she does look pretty young. During my previous visit, I was bold enough to ask her age, and she replied for me to take a guess, (and I'm definitely not the best guesser) and I said she looked around 15. She laughed and said gets that a lot, and younger sometimes. As to her age, she said it's not her first year in college, boy was I wrong. Overall, I've had some good experiences here and I definitely enjoy the food. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely stop by again. read more

By far my favorite spot in the area. We used to live 2 mins from here. We moved three yrs ago (2016) and have tried countless places since, proximity to our home. The kids keep asking for Lim's Garden. So we drive past two other chinese restaurants for Lims. Over proportioned, ALWAYS fresh, and by far the best fried rice ever. You cant take a bite without all the goodies in it. Spring rolls and egg rolls... I should of ordered more!!! You wont be disappointed I assure you. read more

I had a hard time picking between one and two stars on this. I ordered egg drop soup and while it is not the most disgusting egg drop soup I've ever had it is in the top three. It is very thick and goopy it is more of a gravy texture. The big red flag and white decided the one star was instead of wonton strips it came with saltine crackers I guess that should've been the big red flag. Looking at the menu everything seems very affordable everything is between six and nine dollars. I ate here based on a recommendation but I personally will not be returning read more

Best Chinese food in town! Always the same great taste, clean and all while meat chicken

Have tried this place 3 to 4 times and just do not enjoy it. Have called in a order before to be told 20 minutes for pick-up, arrived 20 minutes later only to wait for an additional 25 minutes for the order to be ready. The only item I enjoyed here is the Almond Boneless Chicken, fried rice is bland and sort of plain. Wife ordered Pepper Steak, and it was pretty awful, hardly any meat, and the sauce had the consistency of gelatin as it cooled, reheating would not make it better. read more

Literally, there most expensive thing on the menu is $10 and the portions are generous, which completes the value equation. The taste is consistent with other American Chinese takeout places (it's bland because that's what the American palate wants -- there's a documentary on Netflix called "Searching for General Tso" that addresses the history of Chinese food in America and is quite interesting). The people are friendly. Go there for a cheap hand-prepared meal, but at a fast food price. read more

I found a black course hair in my spring roll. Ewwww! Never ordering from there. I don't think I was ever this grossed out, but when there's hair in the food, that's a no no. If I wanted hair in my food, I would've just eaten my own hair. read more

This is my favorite place for Chinese food. Everything is fresh, and delicious; and the people are nice! I like the General Chicken most of all, but I've never been disappointed with any dish I've tried. Good quality egg rolls, and soups too. read more

When he place closed off MI avenue, I was sad. Many fine memories of late night take out, dining in. I was so happy to stumble upon their new carry out place. They put a different touch on their Szechuan dishes that is refreshing and different. The food is fresh and portions generous and reasonably priced. The appetizers and non Szechuan dishes are as good as they get. read more

We love Lims! Big portions, usually no more than a 20 min wait for fresh hot food, and good pricing for the amount you get! The owners and staff are so friendly, one of our favorite spots for take-out :) read more

I like this place. If you are the kind of person who consistently orders MSG laden overlooked Americanized crap from Chinese take out joints, stop writing reviews. It's always going to be mediocre. But if you are looking for fresh veggies, a better grade of chicken or beef and a cook who knows how to stir fry really well, come here. I usually always order the vegetable subgum chow mein or the chicken subgum, no sauce...who wants that cornstarch crap anyway? But they do decent curry dishes and their spring rolls are pretty good (hint: regular egg rolls are always bad, no matter what restaurant). And although I don't get it, my kids do, their sesame chicken is very tasty. read more

Lim's Garden chinese food is very good and tasty. This is my second time eating here. Both visit the food is fresh and hot. I will continue coming here if they keep this up. read more
