Michigan, United States Food Guide: 10 Asian food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Lansing
Reviews on Asian food in Lansing, Michigan, United States. The birthplace of the Oldsmobile and Michigan's automotive center, Lansing offers visitors a number of car-related sites like plant tours and automobile museums, but there are other forces driving this capital city. On the political side, there's the award-winning State Capitol Building, completely restored in 1992, where tourists are wowed by the glass-floor rotunda and acres of decorative handpainted surfaces. The Michigan Historical Museum, which boasts a great collection of items from Michigan's past, including a recreated copper mine, will please history buffs. Children and families will enjoy taking a camel ride at the Potter Park Zoo or spending the day biking through Sleepy Hollow State Park. On the cultural side, the nearby campus of Michigan State University is a must-see for the Kresge Museum and for the beautiful campus itself. Entertaining and educational attractions, great shopping, fabulous restaurants and a variety of affordable accommodations make Lansing worth the ride.

Quick dinner stop. Excellent peanut chicken. Lots of choices. General tso chicken is also very good. Bar is kept up and fresh. Tables are clean and well serviced. Hibachi grill is a great addition. Lots of children and a little loud but a great buffet non the less.

8. Huapei Restaurant

Huapei came to Lansing and has remained in the same location since around 1977. Elvis died, Huapei was born Chinese food for me would never been the same! At the time there were very few Chinese restaurants and House of Ing was THE place to eat. Chop suey, chow mien, egg foo young, pressed duck, chicken almond ding - this was the landscape for Chinese food in Lansing, the state of MI and much of the nation. Sichuan food arrived and brought spice - 40 years later and most people know Kung Pao but at the time we didn't realized this was the beginning of a revolution. Was this brought to Lansing by an entrepreneur trying to fill a niche? Nope - much better story! The father, founder and master of the Huapei menu was a Chef in China (not a cook or a stir fry guy - a real Chef) Did he leave China for Lansing? No - he took his skills and family to Korea (I'm betting South Korea) and continued honing his knives and culinary skills. On the wall of Huapei his licenses were hung and may still be there today. My favorite was the blowfish permit - yes I too thought this was only in Japan. Read about this if you are not familiar. Today the founder's youngest son has carried on the family tradition and prepares the dishes following the same recipes and techniques he learned from his father. Their Kung Pao chicken, hot and sour soup, Mongolian beef and dumplings are still the standard I use to judge the rest and 95% can't hold a candle to Huapei. Not sue if Eddie has carried on the Korean menu but the spicy red soup is great as well. For me this is where spicy Chinese food in America started and I thank you for reading!

If you haven't tried Asia's Finest, you should. The overall quality of their food has been very consistent in our experiences there. Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai are all quite good on a varied menu. The prices are average for Lansing, not the cheapest but not too overpriced. We usually get at least one Pho offering and they are all very good (Pho Thai Chin). The restaurant seems quite clean but the service can be spotty depending on the kitchen personnel. The servers are usually attentive and work hard; on this visit we had to wait almost 40 minutes for our food after we ordered (only 2 people working in the kitchen at 6:00 -7:45 on this Sat. evening.). Still worth the trip.

Quirky. And delicious. If you fancy having dinner in a cell phone store, you might not mind the lack of atmosphere (which is quirky atmosphere in itself!) But then you have the food and nothing else matters. May I recommend take-out?The Capital City BBQ offers a wonderful selection of both BBQ and Vietnamese food, available to eat in (there are only four or five tables) or take out (we saw a lot of that during our visit). We both had versions of the pulled pork. Mine was the Awesome Mess, pulled pork topped with cole slaw. It comes with a side -- I didn't realize cole slaw was on the sandwich so I ordered that. A generous (and I mean LARGE) portion, which I took home. My companion ordered the potato salad as his side and gobbled down the whole big thing! We also had the Vietnamese shrimp spring rolls. Outstanding. Notes; Parking is minimal. We parked in the vacant lot of the office building across the street. It maybe be crowded -- be prepared to get takeout. No alcohol served.

I was in town recently and wanted to go back to this place with friends. We arrived at 6:30 on a Tuesday and we were told it was a hour wait since we did not have reservations. A little disappointing since we didnât need one last time and they didnât appear to be too busy. So we had sushi instead and it was still good.

Lettuce wrap was quite good as was the Sesame Chicken. Steak Lo Mien was mostly rice and not too good. I expected noodles instead of rice.The Egg Rolls were okay. The sauces were very good. The interior was very nice the lighting was low which made for a nice ambiance; however, the lighting made it difficult to read the 8 point font on the menu.The portion sizes were enormous. I would estimate 10,000+ calories for appetizers, entree and brown rice. 95% of those calories were rice. Lots of filler and very little of the more expensive ingredients. The cost was $40 with a $10 tip so a decent value.

This definitely falls under the "don't judge a book by its cover" mantra. The inside is super clean, even though the outside is underwhelming. The place is always jumping with people, and understandably so--the food is incredible!The owners, who are serving, were super kind and helpful. When we began clearly ordering vegetarian meals, they clarified that egg was okay--something I will forever appreciate at a restaurant. There's no wrong choice here, either. We loved the fried bean paste appetizers, and the spicy fried noodles. I'm so glad we walked in, and we'll definitely be back!
