A not so hidden gem. Finally some authentic Chinese food around here. Dishes come out lightning quick as per usual Chinese restaurant way. Piping hot. Fresh off the pan. Flavors are super close to what it should be. You can tell when the head chef is there vs when he's not. Love coming here for my comfort foods: hot and sour soup, mapo tofu, fish, yang chow fried rice, beef chow fun. Service is quick and polite. The seating option is pretty decent. The key point which I appreciate is THEY DONT JUDGE IF YOU ARE DINING BY YOURSELF. Particularly, they don't judge how much you order if you are a lone diner dining in. You know what I mean. You want that variety but you're by yourself. You want to order 3-4 entrees. Too many times you have a waitress tell you that's too much for one person. Well they don't do that here! Thank you!

Authentic chinese-cantonese cuisine. Only Chinese people here which is a good sign. Came here from hearing good reviews. If you can navigate thru the menu you'll have a great food experience. Ordered 1 safe dish - beef noodle soup and two dishes we were iffy on - beef tenderloin with mushroom and string bean, and tofu casserole. All dishes were superb. As you can see there was a Chinese menu. Just ask the waiter what is ordered frequently and they'll help you if willing to try something Authentic. All dishes paired very well w rice which is the cornerstone of Cantonese cooking. All were savory- Chinese soul food like, granda-ma like cooking. Not spicy but you can ask for hot sauce which theirs was great. They have a sambal olek like one and a chili oil one , both great. Neighboring customers' dishes also looked good. If you frequent trizest or empire dynasty, can for sure give this a try!Minus 1 star for service. The lady was not polite, seemed like it was a lot to ask for Basic utensils and even carry out box. I did not care for the service as she did not care for us.

My family likes to buy our own lobster and fish and bring it to Chao Zhou to stir-fry and steam it for a small price (to give it more of that "wok hay" flavor). We stopped by a few days ago for dinner and the food was pretty average.The lobster that we brought was stir-fried well, but I wish it had more sauce. While it had more of a "wok hay" flavor than we could do at home, I expected a bit more oomph. The flavor was lacking and I wish it was a bit saltier, but the freshness of the lobster pulled through. I think they charge around 15.00 to stir-fry a lobster if you bring one in. The fish we brought was steamed and prepared well. I felt that the fish was a bit over-cooked and even braising it generously with the soy sauce-oil, it still lacked flavor.The pea shoots here were probably my favorite thing. The pea shoots were seasoned perfectly with a light amount of sauce and lots of garlic. They were also really fresh and had the perfect texture. We also enjoyed the walnut shrimp, which had huge and tasty shrimps mixed with a bit of mayo. The broccoli were surprisingly good (in most cases, I don't even think about the broccoli).The spicy salted squid was bland and not very spicy. We might have gotten another dish, but I forgot. The rice that comes with some of the dishes was not good. The quality was subpar at best, and the texture was mushy and unappealing.Overall, 3/5 experience for me. They seem to do vegetables here pretty well.

My family and I have eaten here and also gotten takeout from here several times and it's got solid authentic Chinese food. I will say, portion sizes are considerably bigger if you eat in the restaurant vs ordering takeout - just a tip. However, it always takes a long time for the food to come out, so that's something to consider too.Some of the dishes we've had:- Walnut shrimp: they serve the best I've had. They use freshly fried jumbo shrimp that was piping hot, flavorful broccoli, and crunchy candied walnuts. It was a good portion size.- Beef haw fun: they use fresh wide rice noodles that have great wok hei. It is filled with flavorful tender beef and they were generous with bean sprouts.- Lotus root stir fry: delicious savory sauce, great textures, but could have used more pork - that was pretty sparse. - Seafood chow mein: pretty good, but nothing special. Noodles were deep fried, ingredients were fresh, and they were pretty generous with toppings. The gravy was quite heavy on the ginger. - Peking style pork chops: generous portion, crunchy breading, pretty lean meat, and delicious sauce that goes well on rice.Service is like typical Chinese restaurant service you'd get in Toronto: they take your order, bring drinks and food, and that's it - no asking how everything is, no refilling water (but they did refill the teapot when we lifted lid up)It's quite cozy inside as it's small and doesn't have a ton of seating. Like I mentioned earlier, it took quite a while for all the food to come out, but it was well worth the wait.

Authentic Chinese food in Madison Heights. I've been here a few times already and each dish always comes out delicious. The portions are huge and we always end up taking home leftovers. The ginger scallion beef is tender and flavorful!

This restaurant is definitely a mom and pop shop. Very easy parking in a convenient shopping center filled with other Asian businesses. This restaurant only has a small number of tables and what feels like maybe two employees the person that works in the front of the person that works in the back. we purposely came here during what we expected to be slow times, which really made a difference and not having to wait in line. The food was fine. The place was old but seems maintained as best as they can. I'm not sure if I would come back, but was definitely worth this in at least once.

A group of us went here for lunch. I'm glad we made a reservation because the place got busy! The portions are big and the price is right. We ordered 5 entrees and a few dim sum items. 1-2 entrees came out at a time and the timing was fine because we were able to finish what was on the table before the next round came out. To our surprise, we weren't charged for rice, tea, or a tip. We will definitely be back!

Ordered Togo Hong Kong wonton noodle soup and the Chinese broccoli with beef. Service was nice and fast. Restaurant inside has several Chinese styled tables and interior. The beef was delicious, tender, saucy, thin, but generous. The Chinese broccoli was good as well 10/10. The wonton noodle soup broth is a little more bland but the wontons were flavorful and delicious. Pork and shrimp filling.

Went here on a random Monday holiday and first- they were open! Had some shrimp dumplings, spicy green beans with chicken, and Mongolian beef. They have combos with fried rice and egg roll. The green beans and chicken were made to order spice level. The shrimp dumplings were devoured. Hot tea on the table also! When I go back, more dim sum and will endeavor to try another dish! Not much to look at and great food.
