Mon Jin Lau has long been one of my favorite restaurants in Detroit. Every dish that I've ever tried here has been good, and most are excellent. Their Nu Asian choices are generally better than their traditional Chinese. Some of my favorites include the Sesame Salmon, the Sea Bass with Black Bean and Garlic, and the Peppered Tuna. If you prefer more traditional, the Singapore Noodles are also great. Excellent appetizers ... especially the Ginger Garlic Eggplant and Chili Pepper Squid. I've also had very good sushi here (similar in quality to Little Tree or Noble Fish). The service is friendly and they have an excellent selection of wines and Martinis. On weekends it does get crowded and you'll probably need a reservation. Weekdays are quieter, but you may still have a short wait. The ambiance is excellent, and includes the main room, bar area, a Terrarium room and patio. Great for couples and small groups of friends.
Pros: Excellent food and ambiance
Cons: Somewhat expensive
