Chao Zhou Restaurant — Restaurant in Madison Heights

Service was a tad slow, but our waitress was attentive when we needed her attention. Atmosphere was just ok, not amazing, but not the absolute worst. The restaurant mainly had Chinese people, which was comforting because if Chinese people came to eat here, it means that the food is probably actually decent.

The food was the best part here. I came here with my white husband, and I told him I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious flavor of the tea they served us while we waited.

We got our appetizer of pork bao buns, which were yummy. My husband got his beef brisket noodle soup not long after while I had to wait a bit longer for my fried rice and orange chicken to come. The fried rice was just ok, and the orange chicken was pretty good, considering it seemed like they used orange rind in the sauce. My husband was mind blown over the portion of my food since I also got an egg roll with my meal for $13! It was huge, enough to cover like 1-2 more meals.

Overall, it is a decent...

For several years, our family loved to eat at this place because the dishes are authentic, and food came quickly. Since about two years ago, food came to table slower and slower. The waitress explained that there was only one chef. We noticed that there were lots of take-out orders being cooked ahead of our dine-in order. One time, my husband and I waited for an hour at the table without any food coming in. So, we told the waitress that we were leaving. With an expressionless face she went to the cashier and gestured that we pay...Several months had passed and last week we decided to give it another try and ordered take-out, thinking that maybe we did not have to wait. The order was ready on time alright, but we were extremely disappointed by the quality of the dishes. The dishes were not only soggy but also badly chopped. In the "Young Chow Fried Rice" we found large chunks of lattice uncut. We wondered whether the current chef is even the same...

This restaurant serves the most delicious AUTHENTIC Chinese food I’ve ever had in my life. The place is small but very cozy. The menu has so many delicious options. My family and I ordered the crab rangoons, chicken lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, and the Taiwanese beef noodle soup. I couldn’t believe how fresh the wonton wrappers were on the rangoons. The filling had fresh spring onion and delicious flaky crab. The lo mein noodles were out of this world. They melt in your mouth like butter and the chicken had a delicious bbq flavor. Speaking of chicken, I’m absolutely obsessed with the sweet and sour chicken now! The sauce is so good. The Taiwanese soup had the perfect amount of heat and also had fresh delicious noodles. The waitress that helped us was so kind and made sure we always had waters. If you come here be prepared to wait a little. You can’t rush excellence. I can’t...
