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…

Awesome Asian Fusion, Chef Kelly always comes up with a great new dish – Can't say enough about China Cafe. The owners Kelly and Susana personally greet their guests and make everyone feel welcome. China Cafe is such a wonderful resprit from the national "cookie cutter" chains. Great food and warm smiles always await you at China Cafe.
Best Chinese/Asian Food in Metro Detroit, Bar None – Please ignore the supercilious jerkoffs who've given China Cafe a 1 out of 5 here. It's ridiculous to call this restaurant "lower than the average" typical neighborhood spot, or whatever the Einstein who made that comment said. It's always possible to have a less than satisfying experience at an otherwise consistently great establishment. Like the character who judged this place on the basis of having sat next to a table of people drinking too much. Poor baby. Did you ask ... read more
I know why this restaurant is popular!!! The people at the table next to me were so drunk they could have been eating dog food. I'm not kidding. They kept ordering round after round. Drunks will scarf down anything just to keep drinking. And the waitress could not bring them drinks fast enough. Everyone was really happy. Thrilled. That has got to be it. And they will roll into here time after time... as long as the well does not run dry. Oh, the food? Who you kidding?
Did not care for the food or ambiance. Do not understand all the hype. It is on the low end (very low end) of typical suburban Chinese fare. There is a bar scene but that is not why we drove 15 miles. We will not return to The China Cafe in Novi.
Biggest con job in Southern Michigan – We have no affiliation with any other local resturant. Don't own one. Don't work in one. We work hard and don't like to be conned when we spend money eating out. From the looks of the other people who have written reviews stating they don't care for this place, the owner comments on the poor reviews.... This time tou can save your time, Pal. The food in this restaurant is indefensible. It's a total con job. Try serving good food rather than good excuses.
Best chinese around – Just went there tonight and I was impressed! I was skeptical due to some of the bad reviews on here but was persuaded to go check it out and was pleasantly surprised! Orange chicken was great as was the fried rice soup and the service was great. Orange chicken was 10.95 for a TON of all white meat chicken and I loved each piece so much I appeared pregnant on the way out haha. Check this place out!
Unwilling to accomodate special needs (even though not all that special) – I'm looking for a Chinese restaurant where I can eat: I have an MSG allergy. Not this one! I asked for steamed tofu in Genreal Tso's sauce and steamed vegetables in rice with some kind of tasty sauce with no MSG and no oils. They say "we don't add MSG to anything" whch means, if you question them closely, that their sauce ingredients are purchased ready-made from outside and all contain MSG. I was clearly told "There is nothing you can eat here." OK..... read more
Beware of Nefarious Intentions of Reviewers – Are you kidding me? People HONESTLY think that this is a one-star restaurant? I call shenanigans- these negative reviews are likely from owners of competing restaurants trying to bring down the best Chinese restaurant on the west side. The wait staff is phenomenal - I have never reached the bottom of my glass without it being cheerfully refilled. Everything is fresh and tasty. The Mongolian Beef and General Tso's chicken are our favorites. The menu has great variety, and the enti... read more
One Star is Too Many – After reading the reviews, we tried the China Cafe. Sorry to say we have to agree with the ones that say many of the 5 star reviews for The China Cafe must be a hoax. 100% FICTION. The China Cafe is a local watering hole that happens to serve something that resembles Chinese Food. Barely. The China Cafe serves up great reviews for their own food. Tricky Business to be sure. Detroit News Restaurant Critic Molly Abraham does not jump up and down about the China Cafe. Why is that? Because she knows food: ... read more
