    Ordered a combination plate( Roast Pork with vegetables , pork fried rice and egg roll ) and everything tasted good. Even fried rice tasted so good and egg roll was not oily. Buddy got sesame chicken combination plate which was good with right amount of sweetness. The hand made Art work arranged in between glass at the tables where amazing and finest at its best. Pros: ------ Good Food Quick service Good amazing Free ample parking Lot of food options close by Plum market grocery is adjacent Friendly staff

    Stayed the night in Ann Arbor for a hospital visit, and was really craving some good Chinese food. Found this spot about 5 minutes from my hotel and ordered the Shrimp and Garlic stirfry combo, and ordered the General Tso's chicken combo with shrimp fried rice and egg roll. Everything was really good and the portions were enough for us to share. Definitely a great gem in the area!

    Wish I found this place sooner. A notch nicer than a typical takeout joint. The beef chow fun was good but a bit more "wet" than I prefer. I appreciated the fresh bean sprouts. Lunch special menu available.

    Panda House has become our "go-to" Chinese place in town. I still maintain that it's not the best Chinese I've ever had but the prices are right and they're quick and easy for pick up. Most recently I wanted some comfort food and enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken, pork fried rice, and egg roll dinner combo. It was a ton of food and just $9! That's a wild deal. The chicken arrived crispy, perhaps a little over battered but that's par for the course for most S&S chicken dishes. The fried rice didn't have as much protein as the shrimp fried rice delivers but still pretty good! It's great to have a reliable and inexpensive takeout place nearby. Especially during these times!

    I'm VERY particular about my Chinese food. Its a hit or miss going to many Chinese food places. My grandma in law comes here and since I was on her side of town, I decided to get some on the way home. I ordered general tso chicken and shrimp fried rice. My total was $20 (ugh why is Chinese food so expensive). Customer service was pleasant when I came to pick up my food. Once home, I actually did enjoy my food. I wish the prices weren't so high, but the flavor is great.

    I am new to the Ann Arbor area and coming from Southern California so I have a baseline of really…read moregood Chinese food. This was not it. I should have listened to the average rating. The host was responsive. The food came out of the kitchen incredibly fast. It had that hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant feel. But that's about it. That's the 2 stars. The hot and sour soup got the taste balance and broth right but the ingredients were a disappointment, too much tofu, too much egg, not enough wood ear and/or black mushrooms, scandalously few shredded bamboo shoots (which also clearly came from a can). The wok hei for the mu shu pork was not good; too greasy and again, the ingredients were really inadequate (way too many onions, zero cabbage, scant protein). The hoisin sauce clearly came out of a bottle (way too sweet and flat) and here's the death blow - thick flour tortillas, not those thin Mandarin pancakes. I mean, the thinness of the pancake is the whole point - it is NOT a "Chinese burrito" (a phrase that is an insult to burritos, mind you). The last dish was ma po tofu. For me, a good ma po tofu is all about flavor balance - do you understand between straight up heat from the chili and the numbing of Sichuan peppercorns? They do not understand, this was so overwhelmingly peppercorn that it seemed pretty apparent that someone just equated "hot" with peppercorn and then added chili oil. Again, scant protein. I usually give a place a couple tries because anyone can have an off day. I won't be back. This is a kitchen quality problem, not an off day.

    Food came fast even with a nearly full restaurant, the food prices were fair, the employees were…read morefriendly and the portions were great. Unsure why this restaurant is currently at a 3.4. Should be at least a 4.6.

What's worse is it's a hidden gratuity that you may never notice. Pro Tip: Unbelievable someone has to be told this; check every item on your bill. Always look for posted signs as you initial enter; especially near the cash register. Also read the menu thoroughly. Normally, I wouldn't complain too loudly about an automatic 18% gratuity. What if today's service was lousy? It's no longer a tip, but a service charge. The biggest problem is not informing customers in advance. Maybe illegal? Well, IYKYK. I hate their dining room and probably always will. It's just like a boring, drab, dull office building cafeteria with no colour and nothing on the walls. Just an opinion. Always wanted to vent that. When it comes to customer service they are smiling, friendly and accommodating. Things have become a tad slow since pandemic. Maybe it's yet one more staffing shortage? The food here is very good. I encourage you to try the duck. Friends swear by the Wuxi Ribs. They did just raise the price to $22; but remember to add the 18% so that entree is now $26. I wonder if being a family O/O business, all tips stay in the building. Isn't that just a hidden price increase? 11/24

    Oh hell yeah, I came here last Friday by high recommendation from my friend who is a local here and…read moreshe told me this was the original location and just better. Their online menu does not have the pictures that the in store one has and woowee it is a lot of choices of noodles! Amongst the 4 of us, we ordered the pork tip noodle, the Peking pork (zhajiangmian), hot oil wide noodle, beef tendon knife noodle. YUM! The noodles are handmade, handpulled and you can customize the shape and thickness you want! The portions as you can see are massive and the prices are very reasonable! $14/$15 a bowl! My pork rib tips were too tough but still seasoned. I would say their Peking style zhajiangmian is pleasantly less authentic and I liked this version better than the original! It included a braised full egg, and not too much of the cloyingly sweet and intense sauce. We ordered and within 2 minutes we were served fresh bowls of piping hot noods. Our server was efficient, warm, knowledgeable and bilingual. She said I looked like a popular Hong Kong singer, like OMG what a cute compliment! There was convenient parking and it was really close to my friend's house. Highly recommend!

Gai's Kitchen is located inside of Bethlehem Church and when they say kitchen, they really mean it, there's no dine in or host stand to place an order haha. Despite this though, my friend and I were allowed to eat here in the church cafeteria adjacent to the kitchen after stumbling our way into the church and placing our order online, but just so everyone is aware this is for pickup, take out or DoorDash really. Now on to the food! My favorite thing we ordered was the Leshan Beef soup, so comforting, warming, and flavorful! Xiao, the owner, was kind enough to teach us how to best enjoy it which was to first take a sip of the broth, have some of the veggies, then dip the beef into the chili powder. The billionaires fried rice was unfortunately a bit under seasoned but at least the portion size was quite generous. The mapo tofu was very authentic and the numbing spice they used was top notch, although Xiao did mention that they would hopefully be moving towards using a more tender cut of tofu than the medium/hard tofu they're currently using which I think would be delightful. The snowflakes dumplings were good although I question how well the crispness of the dumpling lace will hold up during carry out considering we got to have these fresh. All in all very promising and authentic, I'm excited to see what else might make it onto the menu and how things might still improve from here, they're working out some kinks with the soft opening and they've only been open for 2 weeks!
