    16. Beef with Broccoli Dinner Special 3. Fried Crab Rangoon and fried rice
    Donna O.

    I asked for my beef with broccoli to come with fried rice instead of white rice, but instead they charged me for a side of fried rice. I didn't think anything about it, I expected it was an upcharge but no. I got rice and fried rice. The beef and broccoli is somehow greasy which I've NEVER experienced before with Chinese food. I'll definitely not be ordering from here again. The only saving grace was the crab Rangoon I got. It was prepared correctly. Nothing to write home about, but at least not gross

    No filling in the crab Rangoon.. all the pieces were like this
    Phai O.

    I can't even say I'm disappointed because I red the reviews and I knew what I was getting myself into but omg... I really did NOT... but if you are skeptical like me then please hear me out when I'm making this review....... I ordered crab Rangoon, egg drop soup, veggie spring rolls... First off.. egg drop soup was good but a bit salty..... veggie spring roll tasted a tad off.. taste very....earthly... or a bit old... but thee absolutely most disappointing was the crab Rangoon.. it had absolutely NOTHING in it at all, each piece that I opened up was empty... I mean I can see you being cheap but nothing beats this cheap and just for this I won't order from here again.

    Taro Flavored Bubble Tea (",)

    Whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant anywhere, I usually put them to the level of authenticity test. I order two things, and two things that I am very particular about... Mushu Pork and Singapore Noodles. After taking these dishes for a spin I've come to the conclusion, that this establishment one of the better decent fast chinese restaurants here downriver. We came here during its first ever opening, and found that the spot is hella nice and hella new. Not just that, their food is very good. Don't compare this spot to a proper chinese sit down restaurant. This is more of the fast food chinese spot. Compared to the "American" chinese joints, this place can trump them all. Their Mushu pork is extremely good and their Singapore noodles is top knotch. Let me let you in on a little secret as well.. Their Bubble Tea is kick ass!! The glass is always half full Weeeeeeeeeee!

    Sesame chicken , tastes horrible!  it's old food, Literally my kids and I took couple bites and felt sick to the stomach!!!

    Chicken Lo Mein Sesame Chicken I love their food but this time it tastes and looks old food that's been sitting out has a fishy oder

    I went to Yum Yum Express restaurant last week; after reading reviews, and after my friend referred this restaurant, stating that this was one of the better Chinese Food restaurants Downriver. So I checked it out, and ordered the Kung Pao Chicken combination dinner, w/ Shrimp Fried Rice. And it came with an EggRoll. Everything was really good! The Kung Pao Chicken had just enough spice; and was very flavorful. The Shrimp Fried Rice and EggRoll was very good as well. I would recommend this place for Chinese Food, and I will definitely check the restaurant out again!

    6. Sweet and Sour Chicken Lunch Special. Egg roll, fried rice

    Pretty disappointed. Little pieces of Chicken surrounded by a lot of breading. Fried rice had a couple of pieces of veggies but no egg or meat. The egg roll was full of cabbage and nothing else. I've had better Asian food at my firehouse! Make the drive to Bangkok 96. This place has a lot more work to do!

    Love it. They have quality food and not your box order Chinese/Thai. They have my favorite new found addiction "Bubble Tea" make sure to ask for it frozen if you prefer slush. The first time i ordered it came with only ice. This wasn't bad either but still prefer the slush. I have had the pad thai- it's really really good(not the best I have had but it's also cheaper on the wallet) and I will say it's a close number #2 or 3. General Tso- same as pad Thai (B+)(A-) Bubble Tea- (A) up there on top- maybe the best. And the dining is also amazing! Very classy! Not your typical smelly dining area. Cathay house has them beat in the dining. Maybe because the bar that they offer? But layout but is really clean and warm. Take a date or your kids.

    Eggplant and Broccoli, quart size, both in garlic sauce. Perfectly cooked & delicious!
    Becca Z.

    Serious wok skills coupled with high quality ingredients. Great value, good prices, and always friendly. The veggies are so fresh and delicious! We ordered eggplant & broccoli (two dishes) in garlic sauce, and they were both cooked perfectly! The eggplant was caramelized, buttery soft, and amazing! The broccoli was tender, bright green, and not over cooked. We also ordered Massaman curry which was honestly not an authentic or accurate representation of the dish; but it was a very delicious curry packed full of meat & veggies, so we weren't disappointed.

Their sign is easy to see as you drive by, but my friend did give me a heads up that their door was not obvious. You need to walk through a fence and then open a non deacript door. The artwork outside is awesome! When we walked in we received a friendly greeting and were quickly shown to our seats. We had made a reservation ahead of time and there was no delay to seat us upon our arrival. Our server was friendly and took our drink orders right away. I appreciated that they had multiple non alcoholic drinks and at a fair price. I started with the Thai Iced tea which was delicious, but I would have loved a glass 2x the size! We ordered multiple dishes to share amongst us. I did ask the server how many dishes they recommended that we order as I wasn't sure of the size. The items are brought out as they are made, so we had food being dropped off to is at random intervals. The only slight issue we experienced was when someone else tried to bring a plate of squid to our table. We let them know that we had not ordered it. They then went and talked to our server, who brought the squid back to our table. We also let them know that we had not ordered that dish. Our server did bring back our order slip and looked it over, and I believe at that point they realized that we really had not ordered that dish and just weren't rejecting it. I am not sure if it had been written wrong, communicated to the kitchen wrong, or what but we did have to state multiple times that we had not ordered it. The rest of our dishes arrived correctly. The crispy chive cakes were great, and the sticky spare ribs were AMAZING. The caramel glaze on the outside of the ribs was so good, and they were tender as well. The outside was super crispy. I would absolutely ordered these again. I would say that both of those dishes were only for 2 people. The sticky rice and jasmine rice were as to be expected, and I personally felt that the papaya salad was not as good as others I have had. The chilli noodles had an amazing broth and I would also recommend. Overall, I did enjoy our dinner but I am not sure that I would go out of my way to return. I am rounding up to 4 stars based on the sticly ribs alone, otherwise a 3.5 would be more fair. I have been hearing about Takoi for years, so maybe my epxections were too high but I was expecting a bit more.
