    Food was very delicious and fresh. Staff are wonderful and very helpful in describing each dish and with substitutions. Menu has a wide variety of selections to accommodate meat or meatless desires. Restaurant decor is very clean and minimalistic. Diners will not be disappointed.

    Ate here for the first time today with the Mid-Michigan Food Club, and while I'm pretty picky about Chinese food (it's the first cuisine I learned to cook, and I've been eating the real stuff forever), this place was quite good. Being here with a large group I got to taste several different dishes. I didn't try any of the westernized Chinese food, so I'm not sure how that is, but from the authentic stuff, the sliced beef and chiles wok (if I remembered the name correctly) was quite good, as was the jellyfish with chicken appetizer. The scallion pancake was only okay, but it seemed like it was house made. On top of all of that we hit a pretty small restaurant with a group of 12 at once and the service was still quite good, the food served quickly, and the quality excellent. It's a little hard to find just driving by, but well worth the effort.

    Legit Chinese dining in East Lansing - yummy noodle soups (pick your items), rice buckets, and juices. We had to assure the waitress we could tolerate spicy... otherwise, white folks are given absolutely no spice by default. Food was fresh and not overly greasy. This might be the best it gets for Chinese in E. Lansing.... Casual, but nice interior - definitely a step up from the typical grimy/ worn interiors in many E Lansing establishments

    I had mixed noodle. You could choose any 3 choices with your noodle. Noodle tastes light, and I like it. My frds told me better try their soup noodle, but rice or fried rice.

    Helpful staff and delicious food. Try the fatty beef or beef with green beans. Fruit smoothies are fresh and refreshing.

    All right, I know this place is new and I hate starting off on the wrong foot with places, but... come on, really? Group of two, we split a scallion pancake and a (large!) bowl of spicy fish stew. (apologies - I don't remember the exact name of the dish! it was around $12.99 though) Both were unmemorable - the scallion pancake was of the slightly translucent, just-out-of-the-freezer chewy variety, and the fish stew... well. It lived up to its label of having two chili peppers next to the name, but I would suggest an improvement on thee fish and vegetables / chili oil filler ratio. (Oh, and we ordered off the Chinese menu, if that makes up for anything... my opinion is that it doesn't) I guess what this place lacks in food quality it makes up for in the interior - I've seen multiple restaurants and managers come and leave from this particular place on Grand River and East Cafe has had the nicest interior out of them all by far. The outside could do with some fixing up - the crumbling off-white concrete is a bit sad and reminds me of Taco Bells of years past - but the interior is well-lit and inviting, and seating is more than adequate without feeling empty. I wish I could bump East Cafe up a star, but I really can't say it holds a place among the "traditional" Chinese restaurants I'd consider going to in EL. Yelp says it best - I've experienced better.

    One of the better Chinese restaurants in EL. Friendly vibe. Noodle soups, salt & pepper shrimp, eggplant hot pot are some good dishes. Fruit smoothies also good.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
