Good Chinese takeout in Detroit on Jefferson
🤠 Howdy, fellow lazies. Sam here.If you're like me and never feel like making food, finding a consistent Chinese takeout spot is essential.Dig in: Pekin Pavillion on Jefferson serves large portions of American-style Chinese food for a bargain, at least in 2024 money.I ordered sesame chicken, fried rice and an egg roll ($10.95) and six crab Rangoon ($8.25).What to expect: The food usually takes a while. I probably waited 15 minutes in the dingy waiting room on the other side of the kitchen. But the food made up for it.The sesame sauce was sweet and tangy and the rice was soft and pleasant.But the real star was the crab Rangoon. Hot, fresh and filled with creamy imitation crab and cheese — they're my favorite anywhere outside of Chicago's Chinatown. Pekin PavillionState of play: Pekin Pavillion is attached to an art studio right next to Nicky D's on Jefferson near Belle Isle.If you go: Open daily from 11:30am to 10pm at 6905. E Jefferson Ave.Not to be confused with Peking Express, which is two minutes up the road.
