Best Restaurant in Michigan...Arguably Best Chinese Anywhere – My friends and I tried Mon Jin Lau for the first time. I kept hearing and hearing about it, but never got a chance to try it since I don't live that close. We went on a Friday night. They were so busy. We grabbed a drink at the bar and waited for our table to be set. One of our friends had the lychee martini, which was amazing. I tried the asian pear martini, it was good, but I think I liked the lychee better. The ambiance of this place was amazing....great music... read more

Americanized Chinese Food – I am not sure if I would say over-rated. I think the food is a bit americanized. Even so, I still think the food is very good. As for the person who ordered the Pad Thai... All I have to say is that you don't order Thai food in a Chinese Restaurant (and by the way... Pad Thai generally is cooked with an egg)... The only reasons why I dine here is the ambiance. Otherwise, I go to other places for carry out.

Totally overrated – The menu was innovative, I will give them that. It is also has a nice atmosphere. My dish, the vegetable pad thai, was terrible. You would think such a common dish would be safe to order. To be perfectly honest, it was a big pile of mushy noodles and overcooked veggies. Also, the menu does not state that it has egg. I am a vegetarian and do not eat egg. If my server wasn't so rude and unavailable, I would have mentioned it to her. As other people have said, we were not offered any refills on our drinks.

Best Pan-Asian Food Hands Down – Been going to Mon Jin Lau regularly for I don't know how long. The food is consistenly outstanding, always. As many restaurants come and go, Mon Jin Lau seems to stay excellant on food quality and service throughout the years. My favorites are the Beef Chow Fun and Singapore Noodles. The best Crab Rangoon anywhere. They have a new outdoor pation that is beautiful. Lively bar, and great music.

Unbelievable Food and Atmosphere – I just went to Mon Jin Lau for the very first time after hearing so many raves. We went there for my girlfriend's 30th birthday party. The service was outstanding. Our waitress was so attentive to every detail, and helping us order. I ordered the Rainbow Roll and the Hong Kong Roll. It was amazing....and I'm no sushi rookie! The Asian Filet was incredible, done just perfect. Few of my girlfriends ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which they said was out of this world. They have an amazing patio.... read more

Totally overrated – Don't believe the hype. Went there with friends and the atmosphere was terrific. Very upscale and trendy. However, much like PF Changs, the ambience is superb but the food is overrated. If I go out to a restaurant, the food better be good and well worth it. Service was also poor. Our waitress was rude, failed to offer refills and there were flies everywhere. For the amount of food and quality, its totally not worth the price. Would not recommend.

Unique, high-quality food, lively atmosphere – Mon Jin Lau has long been one of my favorite restaurants in Detroit. Every dish that I've ever tried here has been good, and most are excellent. Their Nu Asian choices are generally better than their traditional Chinese. Some of my favorites include the Sesame Salmon, the Sea Bass with Black Bean and Garlic, and the Peppered Tuna. If you prefer more traditional, the Singapore Noodles are also great. Excellent appetizers ... especially the Ginger Garlic Eggplant and Chili Pepper ... read more

Overpriced and overrated – Lots of positives so I will qualify that I like more downscale places, to me authentic Chinese is like the places in NYC or SF Chinatown and more to include formica than marble. And to be clear this is by no means a bad place, service was great, the ambience is nice if you don't mind smoke and the food solid. But nothing spectacular. And when combined with the price point, it is unlikely to be a return visit place for us. By all means go if you like a more upscale experience, order some of the more... read more

A white-tablecloth Chinese restaurant, this local hot spot serves food a cut above the rest in Troy. – In Short The dining room features palm trees, big windows and a light and airy atmosphere. The crowd ranges from suburban business people entertaining clients, to individuals and families enjoying quality Chinese fare. If it's a dish you find in Chinese restaurants everywhere--sweet-and-sour this or almond boneless that--it will satisfy, but try the less common dishes, like soft-shell crab with cilantro.
