Top 100 Asian Restaurants in America
Named by Zagat one of the Top 100 Asian Restaurants in America for 2011 — the only Asian restaurant in Michigan on the list.
— The Oakland Press, May 3, 2011
“Hong Hua is fascinating and first rate, elegant but very comfortable. It uses only top-quality ingredients in a kitchen run by a dancing wizard.”
“A couple of visits to Hong Hua can only scratch the surface of what chef Chan’s kitchen can do.”
“Our favorite: spicy squid stuffed with shrimp mousse — the squid is delicate, bright white and so meticulously wrapped around the filling that it looks like a plate of shrimp.”
“The craziest part about this restaurant is how they are doing Peking Duck as good as any place in Chinatown, New York. The deeply authentic Chinese dishes explode with flavor but the Chinese American classics also exceed expectations.”

“Dinner party for group of 20. We had a 14 course meal: peking duck, roasted chicken, steamed lobster, cuttlefish “salad”, etc. Everything was amazing. I have been coming here for years with family and friends and I have never had a bad experience.”
“Top notch Food, very authentic Chinese food. The staff is the best, food service is fast and delicious. 3 dining rooms and can host larger gatherings. The bar service is well stocked Chinese and American beverages.”
“Best place for high end chinese food in the area. Love the peking duck which my kids fight over. … Almost all of the major events in my family’s life was here.”
“Up-scale Chinese restaurant with excellent service and food. Peking duck is carved table-side and served with yeasty steamed pancakes/crepes, pickled daikon + carrots, julienned scallions, and Hoisin sauce. The remainder of the duck is taken back and cooked in one of several ways.”
“Very impressive authentic Chinese food in greater Detroit area. I was truly impressed by their flavor profile, matches some of the good restaurants I have visited in San Francisco Bay Area (my high bar for good Chinese food in the US).”
“This is my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant and it’s perfect for families that have diverse dietary needs. I’m vegan and this restaurant is a vegan heaven — but it’s also perfect for omnivores …”
“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. We’ve been coming for years, since they first opened, and the quality of the food has always been excellent.”
“Peking duck at Hong Hua has become our Christmas tradition. Best in metro Detroit that I’ve had (so far!)”
“I lived in Beijing for 4 years, and feel what’s served at Honghua is very authentic.”
