Troy peeps

I am on Big Beaver between Rochester and Livernois, aside from Pei Wei and PF Changs... are there any decent Chinese restaurants close to me??

Re: Troy peeps

  • I think I've talked to you once before about working in Troy - My office is just up the road - there's a good Chinese Place - Kim's at the SE corner of Livernois and Long Lake.

    There's also a great Thai place at the NW corner of Long Lake and Livernois.

    There is a place at Big Beaver and Dequindre in the shopping center across from Target/Lowes.  I can't remember the name (I think it may be Ho Wah, but I'm not 100%).  Thats the best that I have tried in the area so far.

  • Cool, I am looking to find a place to order from for our office lunch this Friday =)

    One guy here is obsessed with Takee Outee.... he seems to think it is worth driving to Square Lake and Telegraph.... yeah right.

     I really like HoWah, I don't like Kims. Everyone in my group of Troy friends thinks I'm weird because I don't like Kims.

    Also there is good Thai @ Orchid Cafe @ Rochester north of Big Beaver they also have a sister location (owned now by a different family) at Livernios and Square Lake.

    I don't care for Kim's that much either.  My boss takes us there almost every time we go out for lunch. 

     I have not found a Chinese Restaurant that I really enjoy in Troy or surrounding areas yet so I am no help to you Shelly.

  • I may just pick one and roll with it... but I have no clue how much to order.

    I always make DH order chinese... for some reason I suck at understanding foreign accents =/

    My experience from when I worked at a little family chinese restaurant:  1 pint is for 1 person and a quart can feed 2. Depending on how big of eaters you can probably stretch it a little too.  Someplaces have a dinner for X people and it comes with several different dishes.

    wait do you just always "act" like you understand me?

  • We go to Kim's (corner of livernois & long lake) anytime we want chinesse in troy.  IL's live right around the corner so DH has had it for ever, I like it.

  • Kona Grill is Asian Fusion and is pretty good. I thought Kim's was okay. Not great though it has received really great reviews. And ditto the Orchid Cafe suggestion.

  • I was going to suggest Kim's, but it looks like several others beat me to it!

  • Mon Jin Lau.  Best place ever.  I even had my bridal shower there because I love it so much.  It's on Stephenson and 15 mile.
