About this business

Editorial fromNowadays, there are nearly as many Chinese restaurants as there are strip malls, simply because most every strip has one. And both are often sadly undistinguished. But not only weren't we disappointed in China cafe; a lot of people seem to…

Reliably good food, Great atmosphere – It is perhaps the best Chinese food store in the entire area. The people are very amiable and the food is consistently good. I have the orange chicken almost once a week as my reward for making it through the week. I have also dined there with friends and the atmosphere is not what you'd expect to be lying along a strip mall; it is very sheik. My only critique was that the egg roll recipe has changed and not for the better. Aside from that, I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys Chine... read more

Exquisite Chinese Cuisine Best In Area The Gem Of Novi – I traveled from the East side of Detroit to experience exceptional Chinese Cuisine @ the China Cafe. The atmosphere and freshly prepared Chinese Cuisine was fantastic. I did not realize how the food could differ in such a wonderful unique way. My meal was prepared fresh and made to order with fresh vegtables & other fabulous ingredients. This was the best Chinese Cuisine I have ever experienced, the staff was exceptional and the pride taken was apparent by the food, se... read more

BEST CRAB RANGOONS I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! – The food is not the best I have ever had; though the crab rangoon can't compete w/ anyone else's!! (Golden House Chinese Restaurant in Howell, MI ROCKS!! ) The servers watch you like hawks (kind of makes you feel like you can't take your time and enjoy.) The atmosphere is not your typical Chinese restaurant; yes, it's modern, but nice! Odd location, you would never would know it's there if you didn't know! Pricey.

Forget What You Think You Know About Chinese Restaurants! – If you have never tried China Cafe, you owe it to yourself to do so! But be prepared, this restaurant completely redefines the 'Chinese restaurant' experience. From the comfortable, contemporary decor to the elegant execution of the dishes, this place has never disappointed. My husband is an excellent cook himself, so it is very difficult for us to find a place that really offers us an outstanding experience at a reasonable price. He never turns down an opportunity ... read more

One of the best restaurants in the area – I have been going to China Cafe regularly since it opened. Kelly and Susanah are fantastic people - one or both is always up front to greet and talk with guests. The food and service is consistently excellent, and it is one of the best restaurants in the area. The pricing is beyond fair, given the quality of the food, presentation, and atmosphere. Everyone I have referred this restaurant to has thanked me for giving them a new favorite place to eat.

Great Asian Fusion – Always pop into China Cafe when I'm in the Twelve Oaks Area. I'm never dispointed! Very clean and incredibly freindly service.

BEST CHINESE FOOD & SERVICE!! – I absolutely love the food here!! They need to open more locations so I can go there more often. Kelly & Suzanna are so welcoming and friendly. They will prepare any dish that you like, even if it's not on the menu. Clearly the people that wrote negative feed back... must be jealous that their business is not doing as well as the China Cafe!!!

over-hyped disappointing – I used work nearby for 2 years and HAD to go to this place a number of times. I can't understand all the hype about this place. I have tried almost every dish on the menu and can definitely say that it doesn't deserve it. Service is not impressive either. The decor is good though and the place does not stink.

Not Very Good – Don't go out of your way. The rambling and subjective reviews are written by vainglorious locals who think Novi is the culinary center of the universe. In one sentence: if you think the Lions are going to win the Super Bowl, you'll think the food at China Cafe is great.
