The food is bland, service horrible. I would never go back to this restaurant. I have given them multiple chances and every time they get worse. ... more

Eaten there once and ordered to go twice. Food was good, but I won't go back. Stood at front counter several minutes before anyone even acknowledged me. Attitude was nasty and uncaring. They seemed to feel they could ignore me and be unfriendly and not have the business suffer, sort of a nose in the air attitude. Also - if you want fried rice with your meal instead of white, they will not do it,,,,, you have to order an entire order of fried rice for about $10 extra. more

I have eaten at Hong Hua on several occasions and thought it might be nice to host a small wedding reception party there. Strike one-I called to ask about dates and fees. A woman took my name and number and never returned my call. Strike two-A week later, I called again and discovered my name and number was written somewhere and no one had bothered to call me back. I was told, ""Please call back, it is lunch and we are VERY busy"" . Okay, I'm about the throw significant business their way, but obviously it doesn't matter much! Several hours later, the manager called. He didn't apologize and informed me that I should come in to take a look at the menu. I agreed and told him when I would swing by later that week. Strike three-when I arrived with my fiance, I asked for the manager. He told us, ""I'll be with you in 10 minutes, I have to FINISH MY LUNCH"". It wasn't 10 minutes. We waited for 20 minutes and decided such shoddy attention to service doesn't deserve our business. The manager called almost 30 minutes later and asked us where we were! I cannot frequent an establishment where the service is poor. I was willing to overlook a few things, but when my business to host a party is not appreciated, I will take this as a cue to take my business elsewhere. I was very disappointed and word of mouth can the worse kind of advertising a business would want. In this economy, what a shame to turn an opportunity to host a party and gain new customers. I will be sure to tell my friends why I decided not to host my party here. what a shame! Cons: I was very disappointed! more

I found that this place is highly over rated. I was expecting great food based on the reviews. What I got was mediocre carry-out . Save your money. Cons: food is just average more

After receiving top honors for ""Restaurant of the Year"" in ""Hour Magazine,"" I decided to give this non-descript roadside restaurant a try -- and I'm glad I did. I've eaten here probably eight times and only once was I disappointed with the fried rice & chicken (it smelled like a dirty wet dog, but the server was quick to replace my order). Other than that, the mushu is simply delicious, the hot& sour and eggdrop soup are fantastic and the ambiance is sophisticated and warm. This is a great spot for a date or special occasion. Pros: Gourmet Chinese food, soups & mushu are great Cons: Fried rice & chicken more

I really enjoy the food here it is lacking all of the grease. The staff is really nice worth every penny. I would not recommend this to people who enjoy the chain restaurants. more

I love many of the cuisines of Asia, although the Chinese food I've found in the Detroit area has always been lacking - too greasy, not a good balance of spices, just blah. Hong Hua blew me away. This is the best Cantonese food I've had in the United States. Pros: terrific food, outstanding diversity of menu Cons: a little pricey more

I had heard so many raves about this place that I opted to take my boyfriend here for his birthday instead of P.F. Chang's. While the decor and ambience are much nicer than most of the other Chinese restaurants I've been to in Michigan, the food was not quite as good. We ordered a beef dish, a chicken dish, and shrimp fried rice. Decent, but nothing spectacular-- I've had much better food at P.F. Chang's. A big problem was the service. The service was almost too fast, and we felt like they wanted to turnover our table and get us out of there as soon as possible. The waitress started hovering almost as soon as we got there, so we hurriedly ordered our appetizer and entrees at the same time. The appetizer came immediately, which was great, but we barely had time to finish it before the entrees came. The waitress hovered around a lot but didn't speak English very well, so it was hard to talk to her and she didn't do much besides continuously refill our water and place my napkin on my chest (not on my lap) in the middle of the meal, without saying a word. Afterward we did linger for a while finishing our wine, but the meal just felt very hurried. Overall I would say it's decent, but the food wasn't all that great. Granted we only tried three dishes, so maybe there is other stuff there that's better. But they should work towards making it a more relaxing, comfortable experience and hire a wait staff that is more personable and communicates with the clientele. Pros: Nice ambience; not too expensive for all of the hype Cons: Slightly above average food; hurried service; difficulty of communicating with staff more

Overall, we were displeased about our dining experience. more

Hong Hua is my favorite Chinese restaurant ! Pros: Food, Service, Staff Cons: A little pricey more

This place was voted restaurant of the year. It is very good, but not the best (go to MonJin Lao). The whole fish was great, skip the wonton soup. Romantic surroundings however. Pros: Food Quality, Food Variety more

While the service were quite good and the food was quite authentically chinese, I think that the expensive justification must lie in the ambience. However, I personally thought the restaurant was too dimly lit and the decor style is for the american clientele that it tends to attract. I would recommend the restaurant for someone who wants authentic food with a more american atmosphere... but there are several others in the area that are just as good and more reasonably priced. Pros: authentically chinese, good service, american style Cons: pricey, dimly lit, american style more

Outside of The Pearl in Vancouver, I would suggest this is one of the best Chinese restaurants in North America. Due to the large number of orders for Peking Duck, it is superbly prepared (and presented) and always available on the menu (normally, restaurants require 48 hour notification). Their hot & sour soup is also unmatched by any place in San Francisco or New York... Pros: Peking Duck, Hot & Sour soup, fish entries more

Take a date and they will be very impressed. Best service in Detroit area. Very unique menu items. You will be back. Pros: service, atmosphere more
