6. Lim's Star Restaurant
Reviewed By 966bobo
This was my third visit to Lim's Star. I've eaten in once and carried out food twice. The place is not easy to rate or describe because the exterior is rather offputting, the vestibule and interior door seem old and dirty, and yet the dining area is spacious and comfortable...well appointed but somewhat dated. It is dark inside and yet the sit-down service is very good. On my three visits to the restaurant there are very few people there, and yet friends tell me that they've been there when the place was packed. I went most recently at 8 o'clock on a Saturday night and there was nobody in the restaurant. They do seem to do a swift carry out business however. I had Gai Kow and my friend had sweet-and-sour pork. Both of the portions were huge and both were quite good. Would I say exceptional? No, but quite good. They certainly beat the Chinese restaurant that's up the street in Farmington Hills whose name I can't remember but whose food is very ordinary in my opinion. If they put some shrubs out front and cleaned the doors and vestibule it would make for a much more attractive restaurant. I think these factors detract from people visiting them and it's too bad because we liked our dinners and will be back.

From the outside this restaurant looks unimpressive and the interior could use some updating and refreshing as well. Nevertheless our experience here was quite positive. The cups and plates were all Chinese themed which we liked. Tea and crispy noodles were offered free. We had the combination dinners which were very reasonably priced and included soup, egg roll and entrée with fried rice. We had Chop Suey with shrimp and Sweet & Sour Shrimp both of which were very good and served piping hot. The service was very prompt.

The food here has always been consistently good. However, since ownership changed, service is not the best. It is difficult to get them to understand what you are asking for. Most of our orders of late have had errors. For example, we would ask to have an item eliminated, but it would not be. You never know how much rice you will get. Even though we order the same two dinners most times, we will sometimes get one container of rice, but other times we will get two. We are easy going so these things don't bother us too much, but others may not agree. We like the food, so keep going back.

P.F. Chang's is a restaurant concept that honors the 2,000-year-old Asian tradition of wok cooking and believes in making food from scratch every day in every restaurant. With a Farm to Wok food philosophy at its core, P.F. Chang's chefs hand-roll dim sum

PF Chang is an upscale restaurant with a nice elegant ambiance. The food here is very good but not like your neighborhood Chinese restaurant. We had pork dumplings for appetizers and they were excellent. We also had egg drop and wonton soups that were very good. For an entree I had a tofu and broccoli dish which I liked. It had a huge amount of broccoli in it, perhaps too much. My wife had a vegetarian noodle (lo mein) dish which was a bit too garlicky. The service was excellent.

Every time husband and I visit family in Michigan, we eat here. Since retiring to East Tennessee, we can't seem to find a good Chinese restaurant. We've ordered so many different items, I don't even know what is our favorite. It's all good. Plus the portions are big. I can't wait to go back soon.

Average. Upgrade to shrimp fried rice did not seem worth it; rice was dry and relatively bland. Egg rolls placed in carton with food, unlike some other places that put them in a separate bag; this caused all our egg rolls to be soggy. Even fortune cookies were somewhat flavorless compared to our more frequent takeout place. Szechuan chicken was decent but the brown sauce seemed generic.The Detroit area is sadly lacking in quality Chinese restaurants like can be found in other big metropolitan areas. They are largely mediocre with lower quality ingredients. We would gladly pay more for fresh and tasty flavor.
