Where to eat Chinese food in Lansing: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Chinese 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.

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.

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!

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.
5. Fortune House
Reviewed By MITripGirl
We have been here numerous times, and unfortunately it's either hit or miss. On some occasions its exceptional, and other times, like this visit, it's just disappointing. The Tom Yum soup was delicious (and spicy), but the orange beef was over cooked, and the curry vegetables were just blah. The service here is always fabulous, but not the food preparation.
