    High hopes for fantastic casual Chinese food were met with lots of disappointment: The good: -The food wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t amazing either. -The appetizers were the best part which is kind of sad. -The location and atmosphere are fun. The bad: -The hostess was rude and didn’t listen well. -The entire staff was rather dull and unfriendly. -Despite our reservation, the wait time from sit down to appetizer to entrées was extensive and painful. -The entrées were mediocre and loaded with way too many veggies that overwhelm the star of each dish. -The place was rather dirty (see photos). There were cobwebs all over, dirty tables and seats, and dust in many places. -We watched one waiter just wipe the food from tables all over the floor, not sweep it up, set the tables, and seat new customers down (see photos). Overall, I think any common local Chinese place can beat this restaurant hands down. I won’t come back.

    Looking for a quick bite to eat before a show downtown. Marty greeted me at the door and explained the various dragons in the decor. The staff is very friendly. The menu had a nice variety and I was excited to get fries with a spicy sauce. The beef empanadas were devine.

    9/10 food was excellent. We had the steamed pork dumplings, sweet and sour cauliflower, and shared the chicken fried rice. Vibe was cool and drinks were good.

    The food was incredible! Stopped by right before the Redwings game and was totally worth it. Kate was a fantastic server as well :)

    Food was great but leaned towards the salty side. Drinks were amazing! Service seemed impatient with us as it was the first time we have been there.

    I went here for a date night and was greeted and sat immediately. The bar and decorations make a very nice atmosphere! Parking was no issue and it’s right next to a lot as well. We got the cucumber salad, chicken wontons, spare ribs, and chicken chow fun and all of them were amazing! Appetizers were brought out really fast as well as our drinks, we got the Ronin and Yuzu Sour. Our waitress Maddy was also super friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back!

    A unique atmosphere full of vibrant colors, Asian inspired decore with an industrial modern feel. We enjoyed our appetizers and especially the main dishes! It was nice to share our orders among each other and get a greater dining g experience 🙂

    I visited The Peterboro in their earlier days and was not impressed but since then their menu has changed and I was pleased! I ordered the cheeseburger egg rolls which were simply amazing, along with the fried shrimp dumplings and a cocktail. I am definitely going to order those cheeseburger egg rolls for a Friday night movie night in the house.

    Always a shame when we come across a fun restaurant but it's on a time limit before another event. Oh well just means we'll have to come back to properly enjoy the space. We had a few craft cocktails and split their Chicken Fried rice and let me tell you it was fantastic. Looking forward to trying more of their offerings.

    Took my cousin and her husband here when they were in town visiting and it was also our first time here too. The food and drinks were honestly so good. We got the cheeseburger egg rolls 🔥 I think the food and overall experience was worth the pricing !

    Nice dining experience. Top notch drinks and food was fabulous. The mushroom dumblings were full of earthly flavor and the beef and broccoli was delicious. Sized for sharing.

    Fantastic experience all around! Our cocktails were great and presented well, every bit of food ordered was flavorful and delicious and Amber gave us top notch service. The sweet and sour chicken may be my favorite ever and the lo mein will be craved. Oh and the Oreo stuffed donuts were drool worthy! We had a great time, left stuffed and will definitely be going back!!!!

    Had an amazing lunch here the other day. The restaurant was relatively empty for a Friday afternoon so we were able to be seated immediately. Our waitress was fantastic, all her drink recommendations were on point and she was very attentive. We tried a few different cocktails, will definitely be back to try a few more. My favorite dish was the seafood dumplings, great starter. Overall great vibes, beautiful atmosphere and free parking is available on the street.

    Great cocktails and wonderful appetizers! This is one of the best spots in the city for fun and innovative cocktails. Great atmosphere! Service is always top notch and the bar tender crew is consistently friendly.

    Date night in the D. We arrived just after they opened. It quickly filled up w/a casual crowd. We ordered mushroom dumplings, and chicken & the cauliflower bao. All recommended. Even with the restaurant being full the service was great.

    My wife and I dined here a year or so ago and the food was decent. However, my recent experience to celebrate my 50th birthday with a friend was a debacle from start to finish. We were told ten minutes after ordering that they were out of a certain appetizer and then they proceeded to entirely forget the other appetizer we had ordered as well. I fully understand that there are currently staff shortages, but this has really become the new excuse for poor service and product. The place was relatively empty with reference to staff to customer ratio as it was about 8:30-9:00 pm. My shrimp fried rice was unbelievably salty and clearly made by an amateur. It had an unusual distasteful flavor and the shrimp was rubbery. Overall, the experience was awful aside from the tasteful ambiance and Tiger beer. Unbelievably disappointed. I hate to say it, but this restaurant will not survive producing the present experience it delivers.

    Most excellent first impression. We arrived very early for our table but was lucky as they sat us immediately. The cocktails were fantastic and above expectations. We tried the Thai Old Fashioned, Little Venom, Kobra Kai and Open Sesame. So freaking good. My wife had the Duck Lo Mein and I had the Kung Pao. Both dishes were delicious and huge portions. The whole vibe of the place was great and we will be back. Great place!

    Nice quaint place. I had a little of every appetizer on the menu. I ordered the General Tso's chicken as my entree which was a large portion. The staff was friendly and attentive.

    This place has such a great vibe - very good food in a great atmosphere. The servers are kind and took good care of us during our visit. They serve great drinks and food, and it makes for an overall great experience. It’s on Peterboro street in Midtown, and the block has a lot going on - 8 degrees Plato is around the corner, there’s a bike shop next door, and the Detroit Shipping Company is nearby. Parking is free in Peterboro if you can find a spot on the street, and there’s metered parking on Cass as well.

    Dinner with friends before a show at the Fisher theatre. Since we were going right to the theatre I had no need or wish to carry my cellphone and locked it in my car. My partner did the same. Soon found out that we were expected to scan a qr code from a small plastic placard on the table to see the menu and drinks. I asked for a physical menu and was informed they did not have any and I had to scan the menu. (I've been in other restaurants and have asked for a physical menu. I was provided a cleaned physical menu or a disposable paper menu because of covid protocols.) After returning from my car with our phones, one of our phones scanned the code and the other did not. Waiter said I needed to download an app. Now my partner and I were sharing our phone to order. The rest of the party was now ready to order. They were commenting how hard it was to see the menu on their phones. (They weren't old phones, nice I phones). An older couple had now been seated next to us. They had only one phone between them and didn't know what a qr code was. The waiter did try to help both of our parties out but it was just an unpleasant experience when it shouldn't have been. Heads up management. Make some menu copies. Understand that although most of your customers are younger folks you need to look a bit outside your box and be more accommodating to other folks who don't necessarily live in your tech world. Only thing that saved the day was the food. We all thought it was great.

    Pretty nice place. Good atmosphere. Food was good. Definitely would recommend the cheeseburger egg rolls. They were awesome. Very friendly staff. That's always a plus to me. Food was fresh, tasted great, and was served hot. Definitely a nice little place to check out. Chinese with a little modern flare to it.

    New takes on classic Chinese-American foods. Extensive small plates and cocktail list. Fast service, not a bad bite was had of the 5 dishes we tried.

  • 2/5 Constance B. 2 years ago on Google
    We were looking forward to a nice meal after a busy day, but honestly, the food was unpalatable - too spicy to eat! And we ordered dishes on the menu which do NOT indicate they are spicy (Teriyaki Salmon and Mushroom Dumplings for goodness sake!). Have supported the Peterboro in the past, but this is likely the breathing point. :(

    My first time there. I was greeted immediately and was seated at the bar. Marty, who had seated me made me feel very welcomed. While inquiring about the drink menu, Marty made a suggestion and also purchased the drink for me. As for the food...I assumed authentic Chinese food;it wasn't, and the menu reflected as such. I was given some chicken won tons or dumplings for free ..I just couldn't tell what it was, but anyway they were good. I ordered fried rice and crab Rangoons, both were delicious. I only wished the gravy was more authentic gravy then what was served for the fried rice. As far as service, the young ladies behind the bar had ignored me. I then went to the bathroom and when I came back, still ignored. It wasn't until the server came and asked how I was doing that he got their attention and that's when they waited on me. I'm a stickler for good service...and that's why I gave 3 stars for service. Besides the service not being so great, my experience was good.

    I wanted to share a photo of the beautiful food, but we were too excited to eat it. Delicious drinks and dinner and with very attentive and helpful service. Our server, Megan, made amazing menu recommendations and ensured our visit was a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to come back!!

    The Service, the Food and the Atmosphere, all were spot on. Went on a Date night with my partner to try this place. The Cheeseburger rolls, the ribs and the wings are a definite must try. The Cocktails were really good too and complimented the food. Would definitely recommend and go back here multiple times.
