Absolutely the BEST Chinese food in metro Detroit. A hidden gem that you must try if you love Chinese cuisine. The almond chicken is the best I’ve ever had and something I order every time I have the chance. Egg rolls are fresh and hand made. The owner is courteous and friendly. Please try this family establishment!!!

This is our local go-to Chinese restaurant when we want Almond Boneless Chicken (not stir fried). Their yellow gravy is delicious. 2 egg rolls and a quart of Almond Boneless Chicken is plenty for my wife and I, and it's just under 20. Stop in or carry out. You won't be disappointed.

Was in the area and had a craving for some Chinese food and I’m so glad we found this hidden gem! I love that they have Cantonese dishes. We got the pork fried rice, salt and pepper shrimp, and Mongolian beef. Everything tasted delicious plus they had very generous portion sizes! We were so hungry I forgot to take pictures before we ate, but we loved the salt and pepper shrimp so much that we had to order another plate so we could have left overs to take home

Got carry out from Lim’s Star and everything tasted great. The restaurant is under new management and you can definitely taste it in the food. Will be coming back here again soon. Edit: Came back for some egg rolls and they were so good! I have been craving egg rolls for so long and haven’t found a place that makes them like Lim’s Star. 5 stars

This was my first time coming here and the food is amazing! From the wow factor circle red front door to the excellent customer service. This orange chicken is the best orange chicken I have ever had. The vegetable fried rice is excellent. The portions are more than generous. I will definitely return.

We ordered the Chicken Chow Mein dish which was excellent! The Wonton soup is very unique with a lot of flavor and plenty of different veggies. It was the most delicious Wonton we've ever had, hands down! The Pork fried rice and eggrolls were also perfect! The portions are very large with plenty of leftovers for the next day. Lim's is the only place we are going to from now on!! Delish
