Just finished dinner with takeouts from Hot Pot Chen. It’s so deliciously spicy! And this leftover would be my lunch and dinner tomorrow. We have had more takeout meals than dining in the restaurant before the pandemic. Time’s hard on them just like on everyone else. Great to see them so resilient in this trying time. Wishing them well.
The place was empty went we entered, we ordered a Peking roasted duck and a shrimp spicy hot pot with mixed vegetables.Wait time was a bit long especially since we are the only table, but understandable since Peking roast duck takes longer time to prepare.Flavor was good. Duck was crispy, the shrimp hot pot was good as well. Our food taste very authentic and close to what we can get in China. We definitely go back again.
Good Hot & Sour SoupTo me, hot & sour soup is to Chinese food what Pad Thai is to Thai food. It is my proverbial canary in a coal mine. Hot Pot Chen does a really good one. The broth is the dark variety and it is super tasty with plenty of nice veggies. The heat level is the same no matter what instructions you give, which is a little hot, but it wont flame you out if thats what youre into.One of my go-to dishes is the mu shu vegetables. Theres nothing super special about the veggies themselves -- lots of cabbage, but the hoisin sauce is excellent and the pancakes hold up well under the necessary folding process. I have also had several hot pot dishes and the broth is always comforting and tasty. Some of the chicken based ones can get a bit salty, but theres always plenty of veggies and meat or tofu in there.Middle Kingdom and Kai Garden used to be my #1 and #2 Chinese restaurants in Ann Arbor. Theyre gone now and Hot Pot Chen is my new #1.
Highly recommend! Excellent food and service. The hot and spicy soft shell crab is one of my favorites and Hot Pot Chen is the only place that offers this dish in Ann Arbor. I also love the salt and pepper pork appetizer.
Our entrées were excellent and service was prompt and attentive. Best dine-in experience Ive had since COVID first interfered with restaurants quality.
Highly recommend. Came to MI from NJ visiting family and our first night we had Hot Pot Chen. Very nice lady up front, very clean restaurant. The first thing we realized was the smell of our food which smelled so good! Could actually taste the flavor, tasted fresh, not processed meat like most NJ places. The food was amazing!!! Got three different things and all was beyond words. Definitely going again.
Not a fan. The hot pot with soup base still had very very very little soup for the toppings. It isnt what I was hoping for.
I had a spicy noodle soup that was amazing! I havent ever ordered anything I didnt like here. Get the bok choy and thr sesame balls! The food here is delicious and the cocktails are also not too shabby. I would definitely recommend!
My mom and I love the Vegetarian Paradise dish. Great variety, always fresh and delicious.
Great food. Good prices. Everything is nice and fresh. Nice quiet place.
Great restaurant! We went here the other day and I lost my retainer here. The waitress who served us found it and gave it back to me. Thank you so much!
This is my favorite chinese restaurant in Ann Arbor, and Ive been to just about every chinese restaurant in the city. The quality, selection, service and pricing are all fantastic. It is also very conveniently located and there is ample parking.
Theresa was my server and she was amazing! Food was excellent. Highly recommend!
Great food and super friendly waitress,I would highly recommend the grilled whole fish and the black pepper crab ,definitely will go back 😀😀
Would have rated this lower if I could. Average food, horrible service. Im literally rating this in the parking lot to warn others as soon as I could.
Authentic Chinese food. Highly recommend spicy crab if you like spicy food. Will try fish hot pot next time.
I’ve been sitting here and waiting for my food for more than an hour. There’s still no food served to my table. I talked to the waiter and her attitude was terrible. She just simply told me there’s other guests waiting, while I’m certain I arrived and ordered before they were even in this restaurant. Terrible experience, will not come back again.
Hot sour soup amongst the worst ever. Roasted pork almost inedible. Heard the mooshu was good. Dont eat the Chinese pancakes...whoa.
We waited an additional half an hour next to the restaurant to pick up the food.
Had the fish pot and dry chili pot and it was all very good
We are there last Saturday Night. Crazy busy, but the waitress did a awesome job serving us. Food was amazing!!! Spicy crab is my favorite! I dont think i can find anything close to it in MI. Fish hot pot is great too. You have a lot choice of side added into it. Definitely a perfect spot to recommend~
Excellent food. Looks like they need dine in business.
We’ve driven past Hot Pot Chen for years, always talking about stopping in but never quite getting there. I have to say it really is some of the better asian food we’ve discovered in Ann Arbor. Service was great, food excellent, and portions large enough for a second meal the next day. Parking is not very convenient since the more trendy Noodle & Company moved next door, but Hot Pot Chen is worth the effort!
Excellent food and service. My favorite entrée is the Sizzling Pan-fried Noodle. Enjoy an excellent Mai Tai while you wait for your take-out! 🍹🍜🥠
Im really picky about my Chinese food and tend to be disappointed by the selection in Ann Arbor... But I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised by my dinner from hot pot Chen tonight! The wonton soup was flavorful, the fried pork dumplings were savory with a nice gingery bite, and the hunan chicken was really good. Way better than I’ve had around here previously. Notably, the peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and mushrooms were all extremely fresh, the chicken was tender and not at all like the rubbery chicken I’ve had elsewhere, and the sauce was excellent - not greasy, not too salty. I will be back :) Also - I never review restaurants...This was unprecedented and hopefully it conveys my excitement!!
I visited yesterday for the first time. It was at 3:00, dead. The waitress was more interested in working with the manager than the only person in the restaurant (late on filling my water and visiting me while eating). The food was okay. Decent serving. A little overpriced. Most things were $12.95 and up. You did get some chips and orange sauce.
We were customers of Gourmet Garden. This restaurant is TERRIBLE. WE ordered the seafood soup and the sizzling rice seafood entree. There were few veggies and little sauce.Both had little flavor and had imitation crab not REAL CRAB. A good restaurant will tell their patrons if they use imitation crab and not the real thing. Our daughter is allergic to imitation crab which is made out of Pollack or any white fish of Alaska. Does this place want to risk a persons life. We are greatly disappointed with the new owners of this place on West Stadium in Ann Arbor. I called tonight and all they had to say was okay. We will not return and you shouldnt either. There are other places near us that we will definitely try.
Wow, Best in Ann Arbor for 2011 ?? I dont see it. We ate there last night and first-off you get nothing with their dinners. Egg rolls and soup are all extra. Plus you had to pay extra for fried rice and the included rice was either white and brown rice. (The one good thing was the egg roll; they looked home-made and were great!) We ordered sweet and sour chicken and also almond chicken. Both tasted as if they were in cooked old grease that had been used for days. The service was terrible too. I had to ask for knives 3 times. If this is the best Ann Arbor has to offer as far as Chinese food Im sad for the city.
It was my first visit. I reviewed their menu. It did not have bitter melon dish on it. I asked if they serve it and the owner said she serves it for her regular Chinese customers. Im Filipino and I love bitter melon. She asked me how I liked it prepared. I asked for sauteed with scrambled eggs as one dish and the other bitter melon recipe is sauteed with black bean sauce. Yum! both were cooked just right - the bitterness was hardly noticeable - delicious. I asked for water with no ice for my mom and water with lemon slice for me and the service was good. Im bringing my family for a meal on my next visit.
This is our favorite restaurant. Best Chinese we ever had, and wonderful service. Atmosphere is lovely as well.
Same location as Gourmet Garden, but new name and new owners (same awning at the entrance though...). Food is excellent, reasonable prices, and fast service. Overall, this is probably one of the best Chinese places Ive found in Ann Arbor. Also, if youre a fan of scallops, the Sea-God Special is really good and has tons of giant scallops.
I have been dining regularly at Gourmet Garden since 1995. It is the best value in Chinese food in the Ann Arbor area. The food is uniformly good, the portions are large, and the prices are low. They do veggies particularly well -- always fresh and never overcooked. Lunch is a real bargain at $6 to $8.
Absolute junk. I ordered from this restaurant through door dash. Ordered beef with basil earthenpot. Menu did not specify spicy. What I received was beef with hot dried peppers. Called the restaurant. I thought they gave me the wrong item. Did not. They said it was the Chinese version of basil.
So sad to write this. This has been our go-to Chinese takeout restaurant for 15 years but the quality and service really have changed. Tonight we ordered 3 dishes. One dish was missing which we didnt realize until we got home. We called and there was no offer to deliver the missing dish. We wound up eating beans for dinner. As another writer noted, there always used to be crispy noodles in the bag and now these have disappeared. We also ordered steamed dumplings and these came without the sauce that was always included for dipping. I called again to speak with the owner, she apologized and offered us a free dinner another night - but no help for tonight. We will be searching for a new favorite.
The food was really good and we went for the lunch special. Pricing was great for the amount of food...Also, our waiter was extremely friendly.However, I give two stars because I found two piece of hair in my food. First one I found before I put it in my mouth (thankfully). I pushed it to the side with the food that had been touching it. The second piece? Well, I wasnt so fortunate...my tongue found the second piece of hair. I went to the bathroom to spit out the food as to not make a scene.I would have told the restaurant, but was with a group of people I didnt really know and due to social dynamics I didnt mention anything. Im writing this mainly for the restaurant so they are aware of this.Had this not happened I would have given 5 stars.
Ive been coming to this restaurant for decades. Its one of my favorites. The updates are fine, but nothing to write home about. I can count on decent quality Chinese American food when dining in and the wait staff knows me so they are always extra pleasant with me.
Food is horrible, Service is Horrible. When I first started going here 4 years ago, the food was decent. Now it is not. Any dish with chicken in it is over cooked and tough. They probably cook it once a day and serve it as requested. the last straw was when I ordered a dish with steak, description was New York Strip. I ordered carryout and when I got home. It was overcooked flank steak. Dont con me. I will never go here again !!!
One star because the rice was good! The egg and spring rolls were cold, and the chicken and beef were chewy. The waitress was extremely aggressive, barking at people to make their order. We were told no lunch specials even thou it was 1:30 and it clearly states lunch is from 11-3 everyday. Water glasses were dirty, and had things floating in them. When we told her, she seemed annoyed about it.Unless youre ordering rice, I suggest finding any of the other many restaurants around. Way over priced for your portions.
Best of many Chinese restaurants in Ann Arbor. The chefs specials of stuffed eggplant and rainbow shrimp are wonderful. My wife is Chinese and Ive traveled to China over 50 times and we find the Gourmet Gardens dishes ranking right up there with the most memorable.
Everything was excellent here. Best Chinese food I have had in a long time, if ever.The tea was awesome, the complementary apatizer of the crispy chip things in sweet sauce was awesome.I had kung pow chicken, extra spicy. Also great.And the fortune cookies were served with a (really great tasting and juicy) sliced orange. I suggest eating the orange before the cookie.Im highly satisfied. This place was suggested to me from a friend.
This place is horrible. The service was bad. My food was cold, had hair in it, and had an obviously re-used carrot flower on the plate. It took us 3 times to order everyones drinks, they never gave us napkins, and every time was asked for something they walked away. Half of my family got food poisoning for days. I read the past health department inspections (public record online) and its awful! Food being left out overnight, not properly sanitizing dishes and equipment, employees not washing hands, smoking in the kitchen, meat and veggies being left out overnight, Ice machines dirty inside, the list goes on. I called the health department and complained about a case of food poisoning. 4 out of 8 people in our family got sick.
A very solid option for Chinese food in Ann Arbor. While the exterior is nothing to marvel about, the restaurants interior is large and well appointed. The service is very friendly, and the food hits the spot. You wont regret the decision to go there.
Everything was delicious! And nice environment.The staff were all very friendly.
Delicious food, large portions and excellent service. Nice ambient atmosphere. Always clean. Its really one of the best Chinese restaurants in Ann Arbor.
Used to go here when it was Gourmet Garden. For over 20 years my Son and I went there for lunch. Great food and wonderful staff. Last time we went to this Hot Pot Chen the young waitress ignored us. Was rude and the food was terrible. Never again. Pretty sad.
Not bad exactly, but disappointing. My family came here for my dads birthday lunch; when the food arrived, there was a hair in my own dish, and one in my dads (hes bald, so it definitely wasnt his). While the waitstaff were fairly attentive for a slow Saturday afternoon, they seemed lethargic, not eager to serve us (which I know from personal experience is a tough thing to do, but you can always at least put up a facade of attentiveness). The food was OK, but the aforementioned hairs took a lot out of my ability to enjoy it.
The outside might not look very appealing but the food is delicious! Could stand to have the decor spruced up a bit but again the service is quick if youre in a hurry and the portions are generous. Give it a try!
The lunch menu is a good value. Tasty food, attentive service. I have had some odd experiences here (like a terrible smell right after they cleaned the carpets a few years back), but they are the exception not the norm.
The food is delicious . Staff is friendly. Very nice dining room. And they still serve lunch specials on Sundays , a lot of other Chinese restaurants do not.
Very delicious, just like in China. We like it!
The fish hotpot was pretty good! Liked it!
The lunch specials are very inexpensive, a full-size meal for about $7.95.Dinners have a wide variety of tasty combinations. My wife especiallly loves the Sesame Pork. We have scheduled New Years Eve dinner there on more than one occassion and they can comfortably seat about 12. More than that, I woud try a different venue.The service is always fast, the food is hot and fresh. Your choice of white or brown rice (no extra cost). Ive never had them make a mistake and I have been eating there for at least a decade regularly.I agree its not SanFrancisco Chinese cuisine, but nothing outside California is. For Michigan, its as good as it gets.
Great Chinese! 1 dish split between 2 people filled us both. Low cost. Very fast service. Food was even decorative. Ill definitely be coming back.
Horrible. They rush you to order, stand over you until you choose. They had signs saying lunch special with free drink, they wouldnt give me the lunch special price AND charged me for the drink. The rice was disgusting. I will never go here again.
We used to love this place. went there for many years, weekly even. then suddenly our servers wouldnt serve us any more. the grumpy bossy lady at the register said its because you dont tip we were stunned. we have often tipped in cash because we want the waitstaff to get their money right away and we always felt a little suspicious about the management at this place. our standard tip is at least 25% and often more if we know or really like the server. this is our reputation everywhere. the waitstaff is not allowed to handle the money or the bill once it is paid. THE MANAGEMENT WAS STEALING THE TIPS FROM THE WAITSTAFF (we think it was the little tiny lady who takes up the bill folder after you pay). IT WAS YEARS WORTH OF MONEY!!!!! they are disgusting people who abuse their employees (many of whom are here likely in compromised situations and must work here in order to make it) we have never been back. and now we never tip in cash because we never want the poor servers to be ripped off again.
Not happy at all. Had to throw away everything. Only had a bite of each thing. Only thing edible was broccoli. Hard to mess that up. I would rather of burned the money. Been more satisfying. This is not good food. Just take my word for it. I know food and this is not up to any kind of standard. Just being honest.
Looks like its time to find a different Chinese take out. Ive been going to Gourmet Garden for over 15 years. Quality is going down, prices are going up.. but I refused to let that deter me. Tonight is the last straw...I have a 12 year old and a 15 year old and for as long as I have been ordering from there (the same thing every time) my kids cant wait for the crispy noodles and sweet sauce that accompanies EVERY order. Tonight I went in to pick up my usual.. chicken low-mein, Kungpao chicken, and crab rangoon.... checking my order before leaving.. there were no crispy noodles.. when I asked, the lady said they have NEVER given those out (you know the ones that are on the table if you DINE IN)... I said Ive been getting them for 15 years and my kids look forward to them. She said you only get them if you get soup. I said, it is fine if you changed your policy.. and she proceeded to argue with me saying Ive never gotten them and they dont give them out unless you order soup... which I find even more strange in that why would you want crispy noodles with a sweet dipping sauce just because you got soup? everyone gets them if you dine in.... what is this world coming to?
I go often for lunch. The have the best General Tsos in town, all stir frys are good and LOVE the hot and sour soup. Service is usually good as well.
Great meal. I appreciated the chef making a substitution on a menu item for me.
Googled Best Chinese Food Ann Arbor and GG came up. Tried the Almond Boneless Chicken as a carry out, and to my surprise, having read a bunch of this restaurants reviews, the posts referring to recooked/reused portions came to life as we tried our luck. This couldnt possibly be the Best Chinese Food in the city! But its true ... old dried out portions of chicken mixed with not quite as old. Unbelievable since I couldnt find what might appear to be some freshly prepared ABC in the mix. Very disappointing ... shame on you people at the GG Rest. for selling leftovers to me and anyone else with unlucky timing. How can you possibly think its ok to do this with which the speed bad news travels these days! These people are Out to Lunch! Well they most definitely arent eating whats being dished out.
Luch meal. Suspect chef must be Chinese. Food was well spiced. Flavors are very clear and rich. Soup broths for wonton and egg drop were excellent. All meals were hot and served with great care. Pan fried dumplings were served upsidedown! Showing great care and pride as it keeps the crispy bottoms from getting soggy. We will be back!
Great food, friendly service.
Located next to noodels and co. Large parking lot. Good food and menu options. Lunch specials, large portions. Dining area has decorations. Friendly staff. Best Mai Tai in town!
The Best Chinese restaurant hands down! Try the Treasure delight! A stuffed baby eggplant with seafood. Excellent.Staff are very nice also!
Horrible service. I have been here twice and both times the server has asked my wife what she wants and then walks away. Then when I order my food she argues about what I can order. Save your money and go somewhere where they get you what you want and that knows how to treat a customer.
Tasty food at a reasonable price. The servers were attentive and the atmosphere was conducive to conversation. We go there regularly and enjoy it every time
Very busy and slow service. Waited about an hour before a server took our orders. Doesnt actually serve hot pot. The food was good, though
The rudest people I have ever encountered. They snapped at you every time they came to the table. They walked away when you where trying to order. The food was cold and over cooked. Im not sure that the chicken was really chicken. I wont be back ! If the family was not super starving we would have walked out. As it turns out we should have. Had to go to subway to feed them as no one could eat the cat !!
I tried to make a reservation through the phone and asked for a quiet table after saying we have six people. She said I already made a reservation okay? That was the most rude attitude over the phone I did not know how to respond. Then she says bye... Im not sure if its her English problem or her attitude but being going there just because the big space, it is even more disappointing to hear how she responds over the phone.Update: my father called back to ask for a quiet table afterwards and asked her name. He told me she said we dont need to know her name....wow. I dont think we will go there today.
Best and cheapest Chinese lunch special in town. Consistently find myself coming back for the sesame beef! Good service
Cam4 for dinner and I was more than impressed with delicious food and 5 star service. I will bring friends along during my next visit. Recommended.
The food here is really good and so is the service that have vegetarian and vegan on options on the menu so if youre looking for a good Chinese place to go this is probably the most known and best place in Ann Arbor
They reuse all of their food it happen to me and health department came to their place took garish from my little girl hand and the waiter told my little girl no you cant keep it we reuse them for other time so plz i advise u not to eat at that place and the owner of the place was standing when i was talking to the waiter. i feel that i have to tell people about this .very very very nasty
Gone down hill drastically!! Not anything of the experience it used to be, they don’t bring you the tea in a pot with little cups anymore, they don’t bring you the orange slices afterwards, they don’t have the pretty flowers on the plates, the chicken was poor quality and the bathrooms were dirty!☹️
Lots of food for the money, especially with the lunch special. Great service, very friendly and diligent with orders. Food is ready very quickly, great for carry-out.
Kung pao chicken and general tsaos were completely bland. They changed the recipe for the worst.
Excellent food and some less common and unique dishes. I love the sesame cold noodle appetizer
Fast becoming my go-to place for Asian-inspired foods in Ann Arbor. Ive tried a number of different dishes, and havent been disappointed yet.
Sometimes the good is great, other times its just average. Not bad though, service and take out are quick, and the sesame beef is always delicious!
Really solid, friendly staff, great food. Dine in or take out this place is perfect for some classic Chinese at a reasonable price.
Fast great food. Not very expensive. Covid cleanliness. Ordered take out many times.
The delicious Sichuan chili pot is my jam! Also the tiki drinks are delightful and very affordable.
Very good Chinese food, not too oily and the breaded meat dishes are big chunks of actual meat lightly breaded.
Love the backed fish! The taste is very authentic and good price too! The server is very nice too! Thank you!
Food was great! Love the spicy crab. The owner is super nice. Will visit again
Contrary to the name they are not serving hotpot. They serve the same Americanized cuisine you can find at any other restaurant. Needs improvement.
For a shrimp, beef, and Chicken dish. Also pot stickers and crab Rangoon. Everything was excellent. Service was prompt. Will return.
If your looking for hot pot you wont find it here. Tea was cold. Food is nothing special. Any Chinese take out is better..
Their real Chinese food is great , but you need pre-order. Otherwise you can only eat American style Chinese food there.
Very cool place, very authentic, I showed up just before closing with my son and they were happy serve us.
Ordered sesame chicken and the chicken wasnt cooked at all, pink and like jelly. They wouldnt give a refund without returning the food.
Terrible gave my girlfriend shrimp eggrolls ahtervshe explicitly told them she was allergic. Never going back
Their grilled fish is nice.
Gourmet Garden was pretty good...this Hot Pot is horrible...my wife has a saying...”if it’s that dirty outside, why would you go inside”...I thought to give a try as the sign said “under construction”...wrong...nothing going on...a few people standing around who should be cleaning...dish had severely rotten broccoli...took it back for refund...
Great service, great food. Spring rolls and Kung Po chicken was delicious!
They have a variety of dishes that are for everyone. From spicy to the healthy eater it is worthwhile to visit.
Best Chinese food in the area. Simple as that.
Great time with family. Waitress had an awesome memory of our past experience there.
Very good food, good service. Lunch specials are their best deals.
Its clean and the food is really good. I also found the prices attractive.
Not quite as good as when it was gourmet garden, but still better than most. Lunch specials are still pretty good.
Great prices for lunch. Very good food. Very nice staff.
Food was excellent!! Great service!! Love this restaurant.
Good food at a fair price. A little hard to find, also labeled as Hotpot Chen.
Extremely slow service and poor attitude from a few waitresses. Took 2 hours and yet not all the food has been served.
Excellent food excellent service carryout woman was great really nice.
Been going here for years and have always had good food and service.
Great Food!, This restron was theGourmei Garden but the food is still Great!
New name, higher prices, poorer quality of food, service poor as well. Disappointed! 😔
Good food & service. My favorite is the Mango Beef.
Its very good service and food very delicious.The THAI CASSEROLE is especially delicious！
Lots of interesting choices, I had a garlic, ginger, basil chicken hot pot.
Food was great highly recommend the clay pots and dry chili pots
Phenomenal Chinese for the A2 area! Mango Beef is legit
Always had good food here. Recently changed names and maybe a new owner.
Prices are too high!!!
Nice atmosphere, good service, good lunch specials
I like sesame beaf here.
Service was horrible. We were there for over an hour and were told that our order wasnt even placed yet!

2022-02-15Pork dumplings were very good, chicken and broccoli as well- actually a good amount of vegetables with this dish- green pepper some cabbage, broccoli and shoots. Eggplant was well prepared-if a little sweet. Very well spiced (medium) and the vegetables actually tasted like vegetables, some restaurants they dont. This will likely be out go to spot for Chinese. Photo of chicken and garlic eggplant. Take out- didnt eat in the restaurant.

2021-10-09Could not have been more delicious!!! Scallion pancake, triple special earthen pot and Mongolian beef were all amazing and flavorful. The best part, for two people these were big enough to create a second meal. Please dont notice how I ungracefully ate more than half the scallion pancake before rembering to take pictures.

2022-07-13This was my first time here since the remodel. They did a very nice job with the decor. It looks a lot more polished and tidy. I had the Thai curry casserole earthen pot and found it to be quite tasty. The spice level was just right for me. It may be too hot for some, too mild for others. The portion was quite generous for the price. I had dinner and a lunch out of it. My companion had the veggie steamed dumplings and mentioned that they were quite delicious.The only reason I didnt give this establishment five stars is because my companion had ordered the wonton soup and it never came out. They were gracious enough to provide it for carry out, but it should have never been overlooked to start with.Overall, I highly enjoyed my visit and plan to go back.

2022-01-30All the food was great, except the House fried rice needs a little more flavor and moisture.

2022-04-19Really tasty food and excellent staff. We really cannot wait to try this restaurant again. They had a good variety of options and all the dishes that came out the tables around us also looked very tasty. Fantastic service as well!

2021-07-17This place is truly a hidden gem in A2! A friend took me here and Im now in LOVE! Excellent service and the food is top notch. It is the best around!!!

2022-06-18Ive given this place so many chances but I wont be going back anymore. Most times Ive gone, the food has been somewhat disappointing but still fine. Tonight I spent a hefty $20 on crispy duck that was soggy and unseasoned, not at all what I was hoping for. This place is more expensive than other Chinese restaurants around but it really isnt worth the extra money :(

2022-05-11Decor could do with some updates, or maybe its part of the charm? Food is always good, large portions, fresh and reasonably priced. Service is fast and pleasant.

2019-03-26I had good service this evening at Hot Pot Chen on Stadium Boulevard in Ann Arbor. The waitress mixed our sesame noodles appetizer right at the table, for us. And at the end of the meal, she boxed up all of the leftover food without spilling a morsel. I appreciate that. In between we enjoyed good food and conversation in one of the most beautiful dining rooms outside of the downtown area. I love the pan-fried string beans, the sizzling teriyaki chicken, and the twice cooked pork. I’ll be back to try more.

2022-02-12Menu with A very large selection and the food was very good
