Whether you want to relax and unwind or pop bottles and dance, Mon Jin Lau is the place to be for Shanghai Wednesdays. Mon Jin Lau has been one of Metro Detroit’s top restaurant/lounges since 1969. Owned by the Chin Family, it is now in its third generation of excellence. They offer the top experience of  Nu-Asian cuisine, sushi, cocktails, and fine wines. With its exceptional service and chic design, you will never spend another Wednesday at home. 

Mon Jin Lau’s space is a unique blend of contemporary and luxury design. A sleek restaurant where food, drinks, and lounge come together. With two outdoor patios, a sushi bar, dining tables, and lounge areas, everyone is left speechless. Along with its diverse food menu offering vegetarian, beef, poultry, seafood, soups, sushi, and salads, Mon Jin Lau’s style offers something for everyone.

Shanghai Wednesdays transform the ordinary dining room into an electric atmosphere. Featuring Dj’s Tom T and Matt A, you are sure to dance the night away. Also, ladies with eight or more friends receive a bottle of Belvedere! Rain or shine the party is always going! 

From enjoying a dinner for two to a Halloween celebration each event is amazing. I've been to Mon Jin Lau numerous Wednesdays and it has always exceeded my expectations. My personal favorite dish is the Crab Rangoon appetizer. It is a blend of crabmeat, cream cheese, and Chinese pastry, with a plum mustard sauce on the side.  Though it is just an appetizer it is large enough to be a small meal. Below is a list of top dishes provided by myself and owner Brandon Chin.
