Trizest Restaurant

My toddler children are super picky eaters. But one thing they'll never refuse is the lo mein. It has to be only from Trizest too! We have to buy two orders of it. I think they love the texture and flavor. We've tried other places and they don't like it. We usually order the salt and pepper shrimp, sichuan green beans with pork, and sometimes the general tso chicken. The chicken can be a hit or sometimes sometimes it's dry - but yesterday was really good crispy on the outside and they're on the end. The green beans are always on point no matter what the shrimp flavor is the shrimp sometimes it's a little softer than expected, but it's still good.We wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who wants to try good Chinese. If you choose to sit inside, it's spacious and sorta has been updated. Good for a casual meal and good forgroups as they have large tables.

mapo tofu 2.5/5Had some flavors and kick of spice to it. the fragrance was good but still lacked flavor overall and could only taste some of the spice it had.braised pork 2/5The braised pork on the first bite was good but after it was very oily and started to have a weird bitter after taste, which could have been due to the use of reused or old ingredients.korean -chinese black bean paste noodles 1/5Probably the worst I have ever had as the black bean paste sauce was very of putting as it had a weird sweet flavor to it that shouldn't be there. The noodles used were overcooked and not the correct noddles that was supposed to be used.

Everything beside the cold appetizer were not good. Crispy squid, the batter is too hard and dry. I don't know how they make it like that. Probably frozen then dump it in the fryer. They do not know how to fry things here. Cumin beef the seasoning wasn't cook all the way through. I think they sprinkle 5 spice powder at the end and therefore you will taste raw seasoning. Service is pretty quick and they check on you but the food is meh. You really have to pick the ones that they have experience in the menu otherwise you will end up wasting some money

The only down side is they didn't refill our drinks or rice when it's empty and almond chicken was not good at all. Otherwise, the rest of the meal is delicious and we ordered everything with no spicy sauce - Seafood in a Pot, Cold shaved beef, Cucumber garlic, green beans with minced pork, dried stir fry spicy fish, beef lo mein, mapo tofu, eggplant with garlic sauce. Busy dining place and great for family gathering. Also you have to call to reserve a table for party more than 6

Between the ongoing road construction and power outages in the area, I hesitated to drive the long distance to Sterling Heights for lunch. However, I was in the mood for Chinese food, and according to Yelpers, this was the place to be. Tucked into a run-down strip mall, I found it difficult to locate this place. Compared to the photos that I reviewed, the restaurant seemed like it underwent a renovation. Gone are the old carpeting and boldly painted columns. When I entered at lunch, there were a few tables occupied, but soon afterward, the restaurant was buzzing. I had already reviewed the vast menu online and the photos on Google and Yelp, so I knew what I was ordering: salt and pepper squid, double-flavored squirrel-shaped fish, and orange beef.The salt and pepper squid was deep-fried and served with peppers on a bed of lettuce. I enjoyed the lightly coated, lightly seasoned squid and the refreshing bites of fresh lettuce. The squirrel-shaped fish filet, cut to resemble a squirrel's tail, is deep-fried and served with both sweet and sour and savory sauces. I rarely see this on the menu, so I had to have it. The orange beef was flavorful and fantastic. All portions were large, reasonably priced, and well-seasoned. While a number of the dishes had fire icons next to them, none of them were overly spicy. Or maybe the server could tell that I am a spice lightweight.The server was super friendly. I appreciated how she managed all the needs of the various tables. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the meals were prepared.

This is an authentic Sichuan Chinese restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious. The service is very good also. We let the waitress choose for us which was a great choice because we would not have been that adventurous otherwise. Highly recommended if you're looking for something unique.

I've been to trizest many times, and it does not disappoint. I just found out about this place a couple months ago and I've been here already a few times. If you love spicy food, this is the place for you. The service is so kind. There are two employees that we always see when coming here, and they are always so nice and helpful. The food comes out so quick too and so fresh! The food comes out family style and the portions are excellent. We always have food to take home. The environment is quiet and never too busy when we come in. This restaurant is very different from the traditional Chinese restaurants. It has an authentic Sichuan style! My husband and I love coming here. Again, if you love spicy foods as well this is the place! The popcorn chicken is one of their popular foods and it's delicious! We haven't tried anything we didn't like yet!

Excellent authentic Chinese food. I was sent here by a friend who is first gen Chinese American and enjoyed every bite.

We finally had the chance to try Trizest after receiving a recommendation from a friend. There aren't a whole ton of authentic family style Chinese restaurants in Metro Detroit, especially ones that specialize in Sichuan cuisine. We stopped by for a weekend lunch and Trizest wasn't particularly full - maybe only like 2 or 3 other parties. We ordered a couple of dishes:Sichuan Style Green Bean w. Ground Pork ($14.99) - These green beans had good blistered skin with the insides still al dente. These were mixed with tiny green onion pieces and small amounts of meat that's almost of a dehydrated texture. There's a bit of spice from pepper seeds.Mapo Tofu w. Ground Pork ($14.99) - I thought this dish had a bit of a one note flavor of chili oil. There was only the tiniest hint of mala and the black bean sauce didn't contribute much. There's a bit of ginger and garlic mixed in as well and a very small amount of ground pork to round things out. Overall almost a little too bland for a mapo tofu. Maybe undersalted as well? I think they rely a little too much on the chili oil and not layering the spices as appropriate.Squirrel Shaped Fish w. Sweet & Sour Sauce ($19.99) - This fish had great tenderness on the interior with a light exterior crisp. This was served in a very viscous, cornstarch thickened, sweet and sour sauce. It's much less red than I'm used to seeing in this dish. There was quite a bit of ginger added and the taste was very apparent, perhaps even a bit overwhelming at times.Spicy Cumin Beef ($20.99) - This dish smelled the best coming out with a super nice fragrance of cumin and spice. The beef is wok fried, with nice texture more on the dryish side, and a good exterior. There's some ginger flavor and a ton of green onion and chili peppers mixed in. This was the spiciest dish on the table by far - the only one that got me sweating a little.The restaurant has a mandatory 20% service charge and this information is not given in the menu which is kind of skeezy. We only saw on the receipt when the bill came back. Our party was only 4 people which usually doesn't trigger this charge at most restaurants.Trizest is one of the only Sichuan cuisine restaurants in Metro-Detroit, so it's always nice to see one. While the food isn't the best I've had in this cuisine, it's enough to satisfy.

Tried this place for dinner over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. Had good service and thought all the ingredients were fresh and much better than other Chinese restaurants in the area. Really enjoyed the pot stickers, won ton soup and lo mein combo. The lo mein noodles seem soft and homemade and the chicken was juicy and not dry. The Mongolian beef was ok but probably wouldn't get it again. Was on the bland side and didn't have a lot of green onions.
