"If you order Chinese from the stadium corridor in Ann Arbor and it is not from Chan Garden it is because you haven't eaten there yet. Yeah, but no hole in the wall. Great traditional dishes and their vegetable dishes rocks. Great value, clean and very friendly. And not just out! They only sit four tables plus a few alfresco, but as they usually take out, there are usually a few tables in the evening. I've been a patron for some time, I wish I had found this place earlier!"

"We came on a Thursday at noontime so I leave room for benefit of the doubt and COVID circumstances, but this meal was genuinely regrettable. We ordered 6 dimsum plates between two dim sum lovers. It took half an hour to receive the last plate after ordering (check-box menu style) and the first took ten minutes to arrive. Having worked in dumpling restaurants myself, I imagine the first eight to ten minutes might have been the time it took to put some frozen dumplings into a steamer. The following intervals may have been owed to a lesser number of stoves or staff, although there at least seemed to be a healthy number of front staff for the half-full restaurant.Time taken aside, the meal itself was so disappointing that we couldn’t bring ourselves to finish. And that takes a lot! Any pieces of prawn were tough (perhaps from overcooking or recooking) and every dumpling was folded with skin so thick and starchy that I left pieces off. The har gows were broken and the xiao long baos were all skin (reminded me of pork rind), chewy meat and literally no soup. The prawns in the ha Cheung were shrunken and tough while the sauce, although fully absorbed into the folds held no flavour. We received the prawn crisp balls whole, had further difficulty tearing them open, and were met by an unmistakeable “this is not fresh” foot-like smell.After pecking at the plates we took the leftovers home out of habitual guilt. We hate waste but I don’t expect anyone to be reaching for them before they end up in the garbage. It was worse than “below average”, it was terrible. We would have been better off ordering frozen from western brands at the local Safeway. ?"

"we have almost always dimmed when we visit alameda ca. the people here are friendly and eating is really good. it is always a good culinary experience when they share good eating with friends and family. the two items that we cannot find at many Dim-Summe sites are the Matcha-Ei-Cutard and the Chinese donutard."

"Absolutely loved the food and service. Our server was outstanding we had a group of vegetarians he explained some of the sauces co rained oyster and had them adjusted to fit their needs. Food was unique not typical Chinese fair. We went crazy over the cucumber appetizer. Thanks for such a wonderful experience."

"Food is crowd pleasing, but not memorable to me as a Chinese person. Environment is great. Atmosphere is ok, you can hear loud noise of stacks of dishes bumping into each other if sitting at an unfortunate booth. They have super big tables for families and parties. Serving speed depends on luck really, I’ve got good ones and bad ones even when there weren’t lots of people.But main reason I don’t give such a nice looking restaurant 5-star is because food isn’t good enough for me as a foodie. I would go somewhere cheaper to satisfy my craving."

"BEST Chinese restaurant in Chicago. Love love this place. Absolutely loved the food, decor, and family friendly vibe of this place. The service was fast and the servers were extremely helpful in explaining the items on the menu.Great place for large groups, loved the circular tables with lazy Susan tops for easy access to food. Their menu is enormous with dim sum, noodles, rice, and many types of meat and vegetable dishes. There is something in there for everyone.Don’t wait and go check out Minghin restaurants now, they have multiple locations in Chicago."

"We've been going to Putnam Inn for a few years, but what a find! We love this place! We never had a bad experience in this food! We took some family members for lunch on Saturday 7/2/16. The buffet changed from breakfast to lunch when we arrived. The lady who sat on us said it was about 10 minutes or so to be completely finished, so that we put our waitress, our beverage orders came. We have drinks in time. The buffet was ready for lunch within the time the lady said it was. I must say all raves about the fried chicken BUT let me say I tried the pox for the first time they were the bomb! I hardly needed a knife to cut it!! I have NIE pork chops in a restaurant, let alone on a buffet that soooo delicate had so good taste! WOW! I have read some mixed reviews about this place, but I can honestly say we never had a bad experience with the food, the staff or the decor of the dining room! The tables are clean, the buffet always seems clean, even the cutlery! Genuine cloth napkins for a buffet?! What a treat! I like the decor. Yeah, it's simple, but I'm here to eat the delicious food, not to decorate ideas. The fancier the facility the more you pay. The price for the buffet is very reasonable given the type of dishes served! Maybe we're not picky people, but I always leave this place with a good feeling! I say if you're starving here, it's your own fault! I wouldn't change anything here!"

"Our food was great and the customer service was excellent. The owner was very attentive and friendly; he realized that cookies were missing from our order and ran them into our car when we left. We were taken from his goodness and quality of their food. In any case, they intend to return to this facility."

"The food was wonderful as was the ambience. We were not happy that our vegetables, the beets, were the last thing served as we would have liked them with our other food. Also one person had their own entree and had to wait while the rest of us sampled from the small plates that we ordered."
