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…

Stacked Deck – Citysearch never failed us until the china cafe. After our very mediocre meal, I took another look at the reviews on this page. I wondered how so many customers could revel in such unimaginative food. Over 75% of the 5 star reviews called the owners by name. There is no other example of this on Citysearch. If you value Citysearch (and we do) -- watch out -- The deck is stacked at this restaurant. This is not 5 star food. The only way citysearch can work -- is for customers to be fair and honest. Not by helping... read more
Chinese Food for Yoopers! – We ate at China Cafe and we will never return. The generic sauces could have been poured from a bottle. The flavors were non-existant. We ventured into the China Cafe based on word of mouth. That is the problem. This is Chinese food for Yoopers. If you have never had the real deal; you have no way to compre the China cafe to any other Chinese food. In the U.P., there is usually only one Chinese restaurant per town. Yoopers have no basis for comparision. The owners are The China Cafe must have litt... read more

A Favorite – I have frequented China Cafe for several years now, for three reasons: their service, the food and its value. To me, a great chef is defined by his sauces. This is what separates Kelly Chang's food from the other Chinese restaurants in town. From the savory oyster sauce with his sea bass, to sweet , or the spicy five pepper shrimp, it's tough to choose from the menu, so I often ask Kelly to surprise me. I used to go to Windsor for this quality. Susana and Kelly are great hosts, but I always feel welcomed by his ... read more
Terrible Food – My wife is Chinese. We lived in China. We went to the China Cafe in Novi based on positve reviews @citysearch. What a terrible letdown. The food is not Chinese. I could go into detail about each item -- but what's the point? The fact is: This resturant would be laughed out of China. Laughed out of L.A. & NYC. Don't be fooled. There are 53 reviews (until this one) telling people how great the food tastes at The China Cafe. Don't fall for it. If you are going to go out of your way; find another Chinese resturan... read more

Try the Mongolian Beef ... try anything... You wont be dissapointed – I love chinese food, and have lived all over this country. One of my favorite dishes is the aforementioned Mongolian Beef. I have looked all over my general area (Dearborn, Westland) with little sucess on finding this dish the way I preferred it prepared. Looking for a new chef, I ventured to this board and it's recommendation as to "top" dining Chinese in the Detroit area. I must say, you all are spot on as it pertains to this dining experience. They get ... read more
Best Beef Friend Rice we've had! – After reading numerous reviews here on CitySearch we decided to give it a try on a whim one day. We were in the area and stopped by for some takeout. This place was HOPPING, it was a Friday evening around 5:30pm. The phones were ringing off the hook, it was unbelievable. Looked like a call-center for a large corporation! It only took about 20 minutes to get our carry out order (not bad considering!), and when we got home we started feasting. The food was absolutely delicious, and the price ... read more
Why all the HYPE? – I went there today after reading all the great feedback from this site.I found the place just so-so.Nothing to rave about-the food was just medicore.Service was not the best I had to hunt someone down just to get some water.And the place wasn't even busy.Would I go back....NO!
Great Chinese food and very comfortable – Fantastic service and a great place to have few cocktails and a bite of food with the many regulars that frequent the bar every night. Ps. They also serve a fantastic shot
The best in everyway. – I found China Cafe to be the best tasting Chinese food I've found in the states. The wait-staff was more than friendly from entry to exit, always attentive but not bothersome. The food was plentiful (I've never left without a doggy-bag), and the taste was beyond expectations. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. I highly recommend China Cafe to those who are looking for value and great Chinese food with effiicient service.
