Cheng's Restaurant Rochester Hills

Ask for the Chinese menu and you'll never go back to American Chinese. This place is as authentic as any China town around. Kids love the dim sum

Cheng's - Chinese Gourmet Cuisine. This small Chinese restaurant is tucked into the corner of the Hawthorn Plaza in Rochester Hills. One of our friends had recommended this place to us because the food was excellent, and had heard that the new owner was the former Dim Sum chef from the Shangri-Ra Restaurant in West Bloomfield. Previously, Cheng's was your average neighborhood Chinese restaurant, but the new owners (re-opened on 11/26/11) introduced gourmet Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine.
Their small dining room with a maximum seating of 56; is clean, brightly lit and is decorated with your typical Chinese restaurant décor. While they have the same "Chinese" menu you'll see in all your family owned restaurants, they also have an "Authentic Chinese" menu consisting of Gourmet Cantonese and Szechuan dishes.
Since it was Chinese New Year, "Year of the Dragon", we had a group of 10 for an early dinner at Cheng's and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the service great. Not only were the entrees excellent examples of true Cantonese and Szechuan dishes, the portions were large and well presented. For dinner we ordered Steamed Minced Pork and Salted Fish, Doubled Lobster Cantonese Style, Deep Friend Crispy Chicken, Deep Fried Squid with Spicy Salt, Peking Duck (3-courses), Deep-Fried To-Fu Stuffed with Shrimp Paste, Steamed Flounder, Egg Plant and Green Plant Stuffed with Shrimp Paste, and Beef with Pan Fried Noodles. Every dish was delicious and our dinner was topped off with Mango Pudding for dessert.
Whether you go to Cheng's for a holiday banquet, a nice dinner for two, or for their daily Dim Sum (afternoon tea); you'll not be disappointed. Great food, great service, and great value! That's Cheng's in Rochester Hills.
