The Peterboro

So many tasty dishes, here! And the service was outstanding! Megan was our server and took her time helping us choose dishes for our large party. The bartender was also wonderful and made us some Red Dragon shots that went down so smooth! The food came out so quick. My favorite dishes were the Lo Mien, which is a bit on the salty side, but I like that, and the chicken wontons! The chicken wontons had a chili soy sauce that was very savory. I don’t like spicy and this was just very flavorful. Also you can’t go wrong with the fried rice!! Highly recommend checking it out!

5 stars all around! From the moment my friend and I walked in we were treated like royalty . . . We were promptly seated at a high top table near the bar and there were hooks located underneath the table for our coats! Our server was fantastic and the food was delicious. Shoutout to the manager on duty that night for making our visit extra special!

The Peterboro offers a hip unique Chinese food dining experience in the heart of midtown in the old and soon to be restored Chinatown district of Cass Corridor. They have a very chill vibe with Chinese decor and full bar service. Their Cheeseburger Egg Rolls are a MUST TRY and they honestly have THE BEST sesame chicken I've ever had.

Stopped in for dinner on a Thursday night. It is a cute atmosphere the waitress recommended the Cheeseburger Spring rolls and they were unbelievable so good! I would go back just for these alone. She also recommended the spare ribs which we so much food. The food and beer was great, it’s easy parking, all around nice place for dinner.

So many reviews raving about great service... But in a place like this, they make it seem like a Michelin quality restaurant when in reality it's a knock-off tire brand of sorts (get the pun?)... I did not feel welcomed stepping through the door (what a lot of people on here rave about). I had a reservation for a table and arrived right on time. A table for two was not available (they manage these time windows poorly). So instead I was given a high chair table right in front of the door that kept getting opened (obviously lol) and the cold breeze hit me every time, and that happened like 25 times while I was at Peterboro. It took the waitress about 10 minutes to approach, and while the place was busy, she gave us a stare and kept going elsewhere until finally approaching us. She made it seem like we were doing her a favor being there, but I tried discounting it on the fact that the place was busy. Food arrived and my wife's noodles were some of the best I've ever had, and I don't like noodles. However, my sesame chicken was mainly covered in some batter that was gloopy (I assume over-saucing was the cause or they didn't fry the nuggets enough). And while the chicken in this dish is covered in sauce, there should be some sort of crunch. The flavor was on point though. The rice that came with chicken was sad to look at - just simple rice, zero seasoning, zero garnish... And while the chicken was sauced, it still didn't mean that rice had to be so boring. Crab rangoons as an appetizer were very good. That's about it. But $23 for freaking sesame chicken with about 10 pieces of meat and that half-dead rice that was crying for at least some soy sauce? Nahhh... There was a manager (I guess?) walking around and checking in with people. I found it quite funny that a place that tries hard to be fancy has a floor manager that tries to make the place seem as if it is a Michelin quality restaurant, but it's just fried foods and noodles place in the essence. No offense, but it is what it is. The waitress was the "cherry on top" though. She NEVER checked in with us until I called her over for a bill. And now that's what I call unacceptable, regardless of the place being busy or not. Someone refilled the water once and brought a pitcher but it wasn't her. Bottom line, there's nothing phenomenal or outstanding about the place itself or the food. This is the era of Detroit's revival and there are a lot of restaurants that will give the Peterboro run for its money. I don't say it's a bad place, but it is a visit-only-once type of place for me. They really need to fix the 5-star attitude and get down on their actual level...and maybe then their rating will grow.

This has just become my favorite place to eat PERIOD in Detroit. The food is so severely underpriced for the flavor packed into it but I would never complain about that. The drinks are fantastic and once again priced amazingly. Wait staff is top notch BUT there is someone there that really ties it all together. That man would be Marty, and he gave my girlfriend and I the best eating experience we have ever had in any restaurant. From carefully explaining the menu to us and helping us find hidden gems, to bringing shots over and slamming them down with us, he is nothing short of spectacular! We even scored a picture with him because he is someone I’ll never want to forget. We will be returning to this establishment and letting all of our friends know where to get some amazing food and even better hospitality.

Amazing service. Chicken wontons, shrimp fried rice, dragonade all delicious. Wouldn't get the crab ragoons again, they were only cream cheese and no crab.

Beautiful restaurant with amazing service! We brought our parents here to celebrate his birthday and it did not disappoint. Enjoyed the drinks, quick service, and got to try new recipes. The service was very attentive and detail oriented. Our favorites were the beef and broccoli, lo mein noodles and crispy eggplant. Only gave it a 4/5 due to how small the portions are for the price. We spent over $200 but left still hungry as the portions for a large plate are smaller than an appetizer. We will be back for drinks and apps but not for dinner.

The Peterboro is one of the more trendy Asian restaurants the Metro Detroit area has to offer. It's located in between Midtown and LCA, where event traffic isn't typically an issue. Chinese décor is scattered throughout the restaurant, and the overall vibe is upbeat. The service is attentive and friendly. The drink menu offers some unique and tasty options, and there are typically specials, as well. The cheeseburger spring rolls and the fried chicken bao buns are my go-to apps. The crab rangoons and vegetable spring rolls are also solid options. As for the "large plates," there are a limited amount of options. I prefer the sesame chicken over the almond boneless, mainly because the sesame offers a larger portion than the ABC. All things considered, Peterboro's consistency and convenient location make it a great place for a night out.

Over the years I've heard wonderful things about the Peterboro, and wanted to eventually give it a try. My friend wanted to try it out, so off we went. I was able to make a reservation online, because you never know if it's going to be busy or not and it's kind of a hike from Rochester Hills. We got there for an "early dinner" at 5 PM and there wasn't much of a crowd at that point so we were seated immediately. The menu isn't massive, which is fine. It's more of a fusion restaurant where the chef has curated traditional Chinese dishes with their own take on the food. The Bar area has seating and I guess they've also done the same thing with the adult beverages. While I didn't get an adult beverage, I wish I would have after I left. The decor is more of a clean modern take on chinese decor. They have some chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling and wall art as well. It wasn't overwhelming but more of a nice aesthetic. I started with the egg drop soup which was fantastic. Quite Unique but tasty none the less. I went with the chicken lo mein and my friend went with the eggplant dish for her full meal. While each dish was on average $20 with a protein, let me tell you, it was absolutely fantastic! I ate my entire portion and my friend took her leftovers home and ate the rest later that night. The portions are worth the price and everything was wonderful. They have a restaurant manager there who circulates named Marty, and he made sure we were well taken care of. He took a few minutes to check in with us to ensure that everything was as it should be. There was a couple next to us who did have some concerns about their dish (we were sitting so close I couldn't help but here) and he handled that right away and corrected whatever the problem was. For what it's worth, I really enjoyed my time here as did my friend. Even though its a hike, the quality and attention to detail is what keeps us coming back for more!

I always hear about the peterboro but this was my first time dining in. I loved the menu and had a hard time deciding on what I want. I ended up getting the crispy eggplant and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend especially if you like black beans because the eggplant has a black bean sauce on it. The service was great. Food was out fast. Drinks were great. Everything was clean. I'll definitely be stopping in again.

Easy access, close free parking, fun ambiance. This is one of my pet peeves- staff that is not properly trained on serving and/or the menu. It's an easy fix - have them try the dishes, tell them what's in it, something unique about it. Advise them on tasty drink pairings. Food was presented nicely, tasted good, but I'm more is a spice girl. I need zippy flavors. The sesame chicken seemed bland to me. My partner loved the tofu. If you want safe, good food then you'll enjoy it.

Great place for date night or to grab drinks. Appetizers were phenomenal. They were fresh and well presented. Service was a bit slow but after receiving the food we figured it was worth the wait. We ordered the following items listed below and I'll rate them: Fried chicken bao buns: 10/10 Cheeseburger egg rolls: 7/10 Chicken wonton: 9/10 Fun chow noodle: 0 they had no flavor and I ended up sending the dish back Chicken fried rice: 7/10 Beef fried rice 7/10 Overall I think next time I'll probably just stick to drinks and appetizers. Parking is 10 dollars right next door. Incase you can't find street parking.

This place has changed. Not all change is bad....but in this case it just might be. When I first visited this restaurant it was simply amazing. The unique twist on a Chinese inspired menu was refreshing. The cocktails were crafted to perfection. I returned on at least four occasions after that initial visit. Then The Peterboro unexpectedly closed down, no explanation...just closed. Then it reopened several months if not a year later with the same name and esthetics within the restaurant. However, noticeably different is the menu. The menu has been limited to small subset of the prior menu. The portions are drastically different which were previously average sized. For example, two small spring rolls for $10 seems ridiculous. Even the fanciest of Chinese restaurants that is over priced. I visited last night and my dining partner order the Chow Fun noddles. They came out in less than five minutes which at a fast food restaurant would be acceptable. But, immediately made us question how "fresh" was the dish. The food was lukewarm at best and okay. I had the Crispy Eggplant with black bean sauce which was previously amazing. This time, there not much crisp and a TON of mushrooms. We also shared the Mushroom dumplings which I will say were amazing in flavor. But, they could have been served at a higher temperature. The apple, strawberry crisp was really apples inside of an egg roll. As a $10 dessert it was underwhelming for what it was and the portion size. I LOVED this place before it closed down. Now, I'm not even sure how I like it anymore. I hope it will bring back some of its former Zest and will survive. As for now, I would not recommend it.....though I wouldn't completely not recommend it either. I do believe there are better options for food quality...honestly right across the parking lot if we want to be real....But for me, I do not see a repeat visit in my near future under the current manner of operation. Service was GREAT though. So this is something to note in our current environment of declining service levels.

I love this place. First of all, I love that they carry Faygo products. Their cocktails are great too. Every time we come here we love to order a bunch of apps and share with the table. You really can't go wrong with anything you order, everything is good. My personal favorites are the bao buns, mushroom dumplings, fried rice, and spring rolls. The service is always amazing and the staff are so friendly. The inside is very modern and beautifully decorated.

I had an absolute pleasure, the food was delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was urban, yet chic and modern! I highly recommend the cheeseburger spring rolls and cucumber salad; not pictured was the Sesame Chicken, which was also delicious! I'll be back for sure!

When you first walk in the ambience is amazing!!! We chose to sit at the outdoor patio which was nice out, we ordered our drinks, I ordered a Gold Fashioned, it was very good and it had great hints of mandarin orange. It was a perfect summer drink. So we went on to order food and we ordered the Crab Rangoon, Mushroom Dumplings, Pork Dumplings, Shrimp & Scallop Dumplings, & Chow Fun Noodles with a side of beef. All the food was truly amazing, the dumplings were spot on, I didn't eat the Mushroom Dumplings cause I don't like the taste of mushrooms but everything was perfect and the beef for the noodles was AMAZING! It was perfectly cooked This place is a must visit, it says it's in the Chinatown District but I don't see many other Chinese restaurants around it, they really need to bring back this community because the Chinese food culture in Detroit is amazing!!

Third time is a charm. First two visits I only had time for drinks, this time I had, without question, the best Almond Boneless chicken ever. Service is great, Tiffany is awesome behind the bar. Makes a great non-alcoholic Dragon-Aid sort of lemonade my granddaughter loves. Greeted at the door by the owner or manager, not sure, great guy. I stopped mid meal so I could take the balance home for the wife-knowing once she tries that we will be back (and this is a good 40 miles from the house).

I love this place. The service is always spectacular and it is so nicely decorated inside. The food is amazing. It is a little pricey but you get filled up fast. The cocktails are also top notch and I recommend sitting at the bar to watch them get made. The bar is rounded so it's great for sitting with a small group. There is also an outdoor space and it connects to the beer store with a small bar in it next door to wait while the table is ready!

This is a great spot in Detroit historic Chinatown. They recently went under New ownership. Food and drinks are a 10/10. I've been here a few times in the service is always phenomenal. The food comes out first come first serve to ensure that the plates are hot and fresh. It's a smaller space so definitely recommend making a reservation.

Have great shrimp fried rice The bartender was friendly and the drink was amazing.

I was excited to visit this restaurant. The staff were friendly and courteous. The cocktails were good and prepared quickly. Unfortunately the food needs some help. I tried several dishes and half were good and others were bland or poorly prepared. This is a great spot for cocktails, but I wouldn't recommend for dinner. Overpriced

Atmosphere was a ten the guy trying to sell me merch at a bar was a zero lol bao buns were better next door but all in all I had a great time and will definitely be back when in the area

We had just left the Detroit Repertory Theatre and was looking for a place that could accommodate us. Not only did The Peterboro accommodate the 10 women in our group, we were impress with the service from the host Marty to the our waitress Erica. Marty checked on us numerous times, making sure everyone in the group was good. He was the hostess with the mostess and I love that. This wasn't only with our group, but I watched him work the room and interact with all the patrons. The food was delicious, everything came out hot and delicious. Until the next time.

Came here today with my spouse and his family because my brother in law heard rave reviews about this place and wanted to try it out. I read some reviews online and was kind of skeptical but was willing to try it out. The place is small and in the beginning of "Chinatown" Detroit. High tops at most tables with a few regular seats against the walls. Service is okay, our waitress personally didn't seem too happy and had an annoyed look on her face the whole time so that wasn't too pleasant. The prices here are a little ridiculous for the portion sizes and the food is mediocre at best. All the food was bland and the flavor that was actually there, was super mild. Cocktails were strong and balanced. Sake comes in a little can with a shot glass which is kinda cool. Overall I don't think this place is worth the hype, but if you wanna try it go right ahead and try it. Be ready to spend way more money than you want and be ready to leave still hungry. Nice try though, a few minor critiques & this place could be awesome.

We had to make a reservation and put down a $60 deposit to get the reservation. I've visited actual places in real cities and I have never had to do this. Anyway you get it back if you show up or cancel your reservation an hour or more before. The food was okay, they had the Detroit special Almond chicken, which was good but not great. Flavorful but not as textured as you want. We also got loads of dumplings. They were good, shrimp, pork, the shrimp were great but not so much the pork. I found them to be tasty but not worth the price. I also got Shrimp fried rice, which was bland but loaded with shrimp which was nice. They also had topo Chico, a nice liquor selection, and some beers. Overall it was a good enough experience but not a go to for sure. The ambiance feels like 90s Chinese restaurant.

I was really looking forward to this place and loved that you could make reservations online. We arrived and were seated quickly because of this and the space is super cute and trendy! The shrimp and scallops dumplings were decent. Nothing out of this world but it was a nice plate to share with my friend. We then waited for our actual entrees and I have no problem with restaurants that serve the meals as they are coming out of the kitchen but my friend got served her meal and I probably was waiting for around 45 minutes before I got served mine. This was at no fault to the server and she kept reassuring me that it was coming soon and even served us another plate of dumplings on the house because of how long it was taking which was very nice. Unfortunately, my friend had finished her meal by the time I was served and we were on our way to an event so I was in a bit of a time crunch at that point. The Szechuan beef that I ordered was fine. Typical Chinese fare and the beef was quite chewy. The rice and cauliflower in the bowl were definitely the best parts and the most tasty.

food, mostly good, waitress great, but some of the good like Almond boneless chicken, tasteless, we ordered a great app, crab Rangoon, great. expensive drinks, five got out for close to $200.00, including drinks. I would've given give stars o if almond boneless tasted decent. Bummed!

I stopped in yesterday after visiting the Detroit Shipping Company on Peterboro Street. I am from NYC and was simply checking out a popular staple of the area and came across your restaurant and decided to support. I actually ordered Vegetable Spring Rolls and your bartender (who was extremely unfriendly) put Cheeseburger Spring Rolls on the order even though we clearly discussed no protein for the fried rice, which she got right ("Make Vegan/Egg Allergy), though the rice was not pleasing at all either. The rice was essentially white rice with carrots, peas and scallions and soy sauce sprinkled atop of it, with something else that I have never seen in all my years of eating great Chinese food placed on top of the rice. The rice was not technically fried rice as in all the ingredients mixed and prepared together. Topping the rice with some soy sauce does not constitute it as fried rice. Just a suggestion: perhaps having the bar take the orders is not the best when she is pre-occupied with making and serving drinks and then annoyed to have to take a to-go order, and took is incorrectly. I didn't think to read the receipt until later I returned to my Hotel to try the food out and realized the spring rolls were not vegetarian as I had requested and then I checked the receipt. I don't do cheese so I would not have ever wanted the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls - I pray she didn't assume that because I am a person of color that the cheeseburger would have been my automatic preference. Just looking at the receipt now looks odd because on one end an item is vegan and on the other a cheeseburger roll. The best part about my experience was probably the guy who gave me the extra fortune cookies and the Manager who held the door open for us at departure. This was my introduction to The Peterboro and it was quite disappointing :-(

The Peterboro stands where old Detroit Chinatown once was. The decor is certainly modern and the menu reflects that with the star of our meal being the Cheeseburger Spring Roll. Crispy on the outside, creamy and cheesy on the inside with great ground beef, this spring roll, with tart pickles on the side, encompass all around flavor and great textures. The Wonton Egg Drop Soup, with their classic chicken wontons, was a little oily and the predominant flavor was the sesame oil on top. The Chicken wontons were flavorful, but the chili-soy sauce was what made the dish so delicious. The Peterboro has great drinks, with exciting Chinese flavors, and amazing service. Whenever you finish a meal with a fortune cookie, you know it's been a good one.

Food Ambiance Service Sopped I'm here for a couple cocktails after the shipping company and absolutely loved it. Our bartender Alex really assisted in making our experience. We tried a few drinks and the cheeseburger spring rolls - O.M.G. You should drive over here right now for these. Looking forward to returning for dinner!

We stopped by this new place for after dinner drinks! This drink is called ghost. The flavor was delicious with a lot of coconut and was very refreshing. The only downside was the amount of smoke they had in the cup . It was all I could smell and taste at first. It smelt like a match was lit on fire. Other than that the service was amazing. They helped my group get a table very last minute on a Saturday night! The other drinks were very good and strong. I recommend coming to try out this place!

We were in the neighborhood for a show at the Masonic Temple and decided to come here for dinner. This was my fist time here. I was told it was Chinese with an Urban flair. Ok... Wasn't quite sure what to expect so I let him order for us. We were able to get in and sit at the bar which is where we enjoy sitting. We like talking to the bartender and getting their recommendations. The decor of this place was very unique. Chic and fun. I loved it. We got egg rolls as an appetizer and he got general Tsao and I got almond boneless. I also enjoyed a fun gin spritzer. I highly recommend checking this place out! We both really loved it here.

Cool spot before a wings game. Food was good. I got the almond boneless chicken and my fiancé got the lo mein. We didn't care for the lo mein as it lacked some flavor but overall, great drinks and good food! We wanted to try more but we're full. Parking was pricey but worth it for the short walk. We look forward to coming back.

This restaurant was great! Service was impeccable! Our server laura was on point! Rico the manager was attentive and greeted us. So friendly and on top of their game. The food was fabulous. Everyone loved the cheeseburger spring rolls. And not to mention the sauce was fabulous!! A must if you go there!! All in all we had a wonderful experience and would like to go back.

Came here as a back up because the show we planned to see at Willis Showbar was sold out. Beware that the Peterboro is in a somewhat sketchy area, with not a lot on the same block other than Detroit Shipping Company and seemingly abandoned buildings. We had just eaten dinner elsewhere so I can't attest to any of the food here, but each of the cocktails we tried were fun and different! My friend got the Ghost which was a smoking cocktail (but not at all mentioned in the description). We also tried the Yuzu Sour which was vegan and used aquafaba in place of the egg white. We wanted to finish with something sweet, but to our disappointment, we were told that they don't serve any dessert :/ Service was prompt and the hostess was very accommodating since we called to reserve a table only 10 minutes prior to showing up. The decor was a modern Asian fusion with lots of red accents and fit well with the menu and overall concept. I'd be interested in coming back and trying the food!

Atmosphere, experience, service, and taste buds exceeded our expectations! Peterboro is absolutely worth the hype. My party got a multitude of drinks including the yuzu sour, let it burn, espresso martini, and tequila old fashion. Every drink was as delicious as described on the menu - enough so that we ordered seconds of everything. As for the food, the crispy eggplant, mushroom dumplings, spring rolls, and fried rice was by far our favorites. Each dish was unique in flavor profile and left us wanting more. I highly recommend trying each item mentioned above! Our server was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and lovely to spend the evening with. Even more so, the manager was circling the restaurant the entire evening the ensure everybody's experience was as it should be. I cannot wait to come back here knowing that the food, drinks, and ambiance will be unbelievable!

Awesome service! Food was fresh and portion size was above average! Drinks were dynamite!

One vegan option on the menu.... Which was a salad. You don't make friends with salad. I had the vegetarian fried rice and it just wasn't good. Lacked flavor even with the sambal they added. It just wasn't satisfying in the least. I won't be back. The building is gorgeous, though. Very interesting pictures of old China Town on the walls. I really liked that. They can keep the food, though.

Recently stopped by in a pinch for food on a busy Saturday and they had an open table, host and wait staff was some of the friendliest I've encountered in a long time. Food was quick, Fresh and delicious and the whole place had a good feel.

Glorified, not as expected. The almond chicken was absolutely terrible and portions were ridiculously small. No bang for your buck with this place. If you decide to dine here, I would recommend the crispy eggplant and that's about it. Mid.

the food is fantastic!!!!! and the staff amazing rico and sid was so cool and helpful great service great vibe great ambience!!!!!

Bartender was fantastic sitting at the the bar was fast and efficient just a shame that shut down for a few months for renovation

10/10 highly recommend!!!! The food was amazing!!! We got the Chinese Chicken Wings and Korean chicken Bao Buns for appetizers and the general tso chicken for an entree. We also ordered shrimp fried rice but it came out with mushrooms when we asked nor non so we sent it back. The entree, however, did come with white rice. We got they drink with lychee and gin and it was pretty good too! This place does take reservations and it's pretty hard to get in without one, especially on a Saturday night, but it is certainly worth it. They also are a bit slow. Amongst a some other small things, our chicken could've used more sauce. We asked for more and was told they would have to heat it up and there was an up charge for it and we didn't end up getting it literally until we cashed out.

I stumbled upon this place while looking for a spot to imbibe. We checked Yelp and saw they offer $4 pours of whiskey throughout the week... Of course, we were like YUP, let's give this odd hipster Chinese restaurant a try. The bartenders on our first visit, Jake and Levi, were charming and professional. They continued to be excellent bartenders throughout the entire visit, even as the small restaurant filled up as the night went on. Each guy was chatty and personable (and handsome to boot). I've visited four times and eaten during two of the visits. The food is good, not great. The first time, we split the pork lo mein and it was decent, but I wasn't happy with the overwhelming amount of bamboo shoots and bean sprouts and lack of pork. The second time, I ordered the beef lo mein and the beef was so incredibly overcooked that it was like trying to chew beef jerky. I asked for extra sauce (explaining the dish was very dry) and it took another five or so minutes for that to come out. It didn't really help the overcooked, dry dish. I may try something new in the future, but so far I haven't been blown away by anything. Some helpful tidbits: Parking is free on Peterboro street and there's also a free dirt lot next to the building. The restaurant is a bit cold because the entrance leads right into the dining space. Bar seating is first-come, first-serve so if there's a wait, keep an eye on the bar. They offer both communal seating and private tables. The bartenders can create pretty much any cocktail you'd find at Sugar House (a sister bar) at around the same prices ($10-$13). I tend to like most everything the Detroit Optimist Company opens and the Peterboro is no different. I love the location, the free parking, the friendly staff and the casual atmosphere.

You know, the first time I came here I walked away feeling very unimpressed with the food, the atmosphere, all of it. What i've realized on follow-up visits is that the company we keep really defines your experience far greater than you might expect. On this trip, things were were far better. Started out with a couple of drinks, I went basic with a beer, but she had a lemon drop. I don't care what anyone says, if you can't make a basic drink then I can't trust you to cook my food. According to my source, the lemon drop was spot on. it was light, delicious, and refreshing. As an appetizer we ordered the vegetarian rolls. Let me tell you how awesome they were, They were awesome!!!! That's right, 4 exclamation points. They were crispy, crunchy, and came with two sauces that actually added to the flavor as to overpowering it. I ordered the General Tso's chicken as my main course. Take a gander at my pic, look at the beautiful coloring,you can almost taste the sticky goodness right through the screen. OOOOOO YUMMY!!! I'm a simple man when it comes Chinese food and man do I love good General Tso's. My friend ordered the shrimp fried rice, and you wouldn't think that something so simple can have so much flavor, but lo and behold, here it is. I wouldn't mind a few more shrimp, or maybe bigger shrimp, but all in all it was very good. We ordered sake to enjoy throughout dinner, and since I'm hardly a sake fan, I can't tell you anything more than I really enjoyed it. The one thing that has been a constant here has been the service. It's always been attentive and well done. If you're craving some higher end Chinese food with a great bar and drink selections, this is your spot.

Love the ambience , the food is super flavorful, the drinks are unique flavors , service is pretty prompt. Reservation is recommended. We had Chicken Korean Bao ; Cauliflower sweet n sour; Shrimp Fried rice. Also, this is a lot of filling food for 2. This was my 2nd visit. n My personal fav was the Bao (in the pic below)! And it is Vegan friendly.

Stopped in here on an impromptu midtown bar crawl with the hubby. Apparently this is the old China Town. I liked the atmosphere and decor. I didn't know what to get so the bartender, Levi, asked what I liked. I said gin, so he made me his favorite gin drink. It had grapefruit juice in it, honey, and it was refreshing and delicious. I LOVED that he peeled the grapefruit rind fresh and rubbed a piece over the stem of my glass, so my hand/fingers smelled like fresh grapefruit after my drink was finished. We also shared the crispy eggplant appetizer - and it was delicious. The menu and prices look reasonable, more reasonable then these trendy $12/drink places, and the highest prices entree on the menu was $18. I usually don't eat Chinese food because I have a MSG sensitivity and when they say they don't use it, or can leave it out, they're usually lying. But Levi assured me they don't use it here, so hubby and I will definitely be back!

Used to really love this place, but not sure what happened to the menu. Really underwhelming offerings now, hope they expand it a bit as I really liked it before, but the new limited menu isn't it.

Some of the best food I've eaten in Detroit. The cocktails were awesome and vibes were great. Will absolutely be coming back for the pork fried rice and bao buns.

Chuck and the team are still doing great. Came in tonight and got the cheeseburger spring rolls and crispy chicken wings. Both were amazing. Drinks were delicious and service was spot on!

AmaZing cocktails, vegan food options, and love the ambiance. I was just passing by and visited this place. Now I feel I should have visited earlier. Even staff is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend others, and already saved to go place when in Midtown

We like the Peterboro. It'a refreshing to have a casual yet cool Chinese restaurant with plenty of veg options. And cocktails - because priorities. Don't get me wrong, Asian food is usually one of the easiest to find vegetarian options. It's just that you don't always want soy (tofu, it is an option here as well!), or the cliché mixed sad and probably frozen veggies. Que the Peterboro and their ingenious idea of offering cauliflower as an option.. YES PLEASE. Favorites are spring rolls and crab rangoon (the mushroom dumplings were a bit too "earthy" for me). Meal wise the general tsao and sesame (cauli varieties) are my standard, and my husband loves the fried rice, extra garlic butter. I forgot my favorite cocktail here but it's yellow with eggwhite. It's very good!

3.5/5 stars from me, so I will round up to 4. I had won a $10 gift card for The Peterboro and had stopped by in December to pick it up, but this was my first time actually dining there. We were attending a concert at LCA so the timing worked out well. We arrived around 5pm on a Sunday night, and the restaurant was not busy. The hostess offered us a high-top by the door (literally NEXT to the door...) or the bar, so we chose the high-top ... I'm not a big fan of high-top seats, for reasons I will explain later, but except for the tables seating larger groups there, most of their 2-tops are high-tops. We started off with the coconut lemongrass soup, which was not what I was expecting: it had a thick consistency. I didn't entirely dislike the flavor, but it would have been better as a sauce atop chicken or another meat, in my opinion. I was hoping it would be more like Thai coconut lemongrass soup I've had in the past (more of a liquid consistency). After that, we tried the Korean chicken bao, which were good - they're set atop open-faced bao, and the Asian slaw was particularly tasty. Our third course was the pork siu mai, which with the dipping sauce was also very tasty although you only get three small dumplings. We finished with the beef and broccoli, which was a large portion and could have been eaten as a regular meal. This was probably my favorite of the dishes we tried - the sauce was sweet, and it was very tasty. It also came with white rice. The broccoli was a little underdone (more crunchy than it should have been) but that was fine. The dessert menu looked great but at that point we were too stuffed to order more. Minor complaints: -Our waiter was very personable but we had to ask for water multiple times. -Obviously not their fault, but this is part of the reason I hate high-tops: the man who was sitting directly behind me kept leaning back into me, and even though I kept moving closer and closer to our table, it was still annoying. -The pricing: for two people (2 soups/2 small plates/1 large plate) it was about $44 with tax, which is a little out of my budget - but still not awful overall, at $22 per person, for Detroit. -Hostess didn't really seem to care much ... I asked if there were other choices (instead of the bar / the high-top by the door) and she said she couldn't give a 4-person table to 2-people. I understand rules are rules, but it came off as kind of blase. There is free parking in the lot next to the restaurant, also (more like a mud pit, when it rains, but still ...) and they have a guy with a shirt marked SECURITY kind of wandering around making sure everyone's cars stay put, I assume. I'd like to return here for drinks, I see that they do a happy hour but I'm not sure what their HH menu looks like. There were other food items I'd like to try, also. Overall I was a tiny bit disappointed with The Peterboro, as I was expecting "excellent" and instead got "good/very good," but the food was tasty hence the 4-star rating.

Yum!! Ordered this for Yelp's Big Night In to support local restaurants, and the Peterboro did not disappoint. I've been coming here for the past two years, and the food tastes so fresh and authentic. Their cocktails are so good too, but I'll sadly have to wait to dine in for those again. This go-around, I got shrimp fried rice, pork dumplings, and general tsaos chicken- it was the perfect amount for two people. #yelpsbignightin

Went here before a Wings game recently. It's in walking distance and the menu looked intriguing. We arrived and were there pretty early and it was not busy yet. The bar is beat Uri full and has a great seating area. They have a Happy Hour but it is ONLY at the bar. Save on drinks and apps that way. We were a wee disappointed but recovered and ate anyway. We got a smattering of appetizers. The jackfruit bao and eggplants were my personal favorites. We also got the crab Rangoon and they were the richest that I'd ever tasted. Nothing was left- all was tasty! And the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I'd be careful of the parking lot next store because I've been stuck there before (a double park situation)- if it's really busy.
