Best Egg Rolls In Detroit
By Liz Parker
Usually when one thinks of egg rolls, you'd initially think of Chinese or perhaps Thai restaurants. However, egg rolls come in all shapes and sizes, and the filling in egg rolls is not always traditional. Check out this list for the best egg rolls in the Detroit area - both traditional and non-traditional.
Mui's Chinese Food Carryout
845 W. 14 Mile Road
Clawson, MI 48017
(248) 435-3920

Mui's is family-owned, located near 14 Mile and Crooks, and only offers carryout. The carryout menu is large and includes chicken, beef, seafood, and more. Egg rolls are included with lunch or dinner specials, or you can purchase them a la carte for $1.25 each. Make sure to also try Mui's crispy wontons, as they're both sweet and salty (most likely with duck sauce baked in).
You might not associate egg rolls with a barbecue place, but Zeke's is here to prove you wrong. Choose from reuben, jalepenofest, BBQ rib, or veggie egg rolls, for $3 each or you can try four for $10. Zeke's also offers a full menu of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian entrees, appetizers, and sides - try some of its BBQ meats, or, if you're vegetarian, try the poutine.

If you're still on the hunt for those unconventional egg rolls, Stache International is here to provide, with its Firecracker Bites. The bites are spring roll wrappers filled with Gus & Grey's "Sweet Jesus" sweet jalapeno jam, mozzarella, and asiago cheese, served with cajun ranch "boom" sauce, as well as Stache's signature red jalapeno "kaboom" hot sauce. Four bites will set you back $6.75, or you can get a "bang bang pack" (12 bites) for $18.25. Stache International is located near Eastern Market, right off of the freeway.

Kwan's Chop Suey
22136 West Road
Woodhaven, MI 48183

The Peterboro is fairly new to the Detroit restaurant scene, and it's the only Chinese restaurant in what used to be Detroit's Chinatown area many years ago. The restaurant combines a mix of traditional Chinese dishes with the "new" and untraditional, and it's beginning to become known for its cheeseburger egg rolls ($7.95) - in fact, on its website, the actual menu item name is "absurdly delicious cheeseburger egg rolls." The rolls come with a tangy sauce, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, and each order contains three egg rolls.
