Ordered multiple items for our first time, and asked for extra spicy on several. East Cafe is hands down the most authentic to their makings and perfect for the spicy fans out there! Arguably the best Asian region authentic style in the Lansing area!

Ordered beef brocolli with mushroom since basil beef was going to take longer because they literally pick out fresh basil. Requested lightly spicy instead of the regular and mushrooms. Everyone says its authentic chinese but I can honestly say I have no clue, it’s definitely not the regular “Chinese food.” A little less tasty than the americanized because it doesn’t have a load of sugar and/or salt, still tasted great and felt way healthier and reminded me of my home country’s food a little (Egypt). I can literally drink the beef sauce, quantity btw was great maybe not so much the beef but the veggies and rice were surprisingly plentiful and filled me up with plenty for later.

Good food. The waitress was so nice also. I didn’t give five stars because I didn’t like the crab rangoon that much. But the sweet & sour chicken came with onions, pineapple, carrots, and zucchini. The waitress saw us picking out the zucchini and she brought us green pepper instead. Great experience!

my gf & I were looking for someplace with vegan options that wouldn’t be too close to campus where all the hectic parties are. We also happened to be going out on a Saturday evening, so we had to find someplace that wasn’t over crowded. This place was perfect! It’s tiny, and cozy with authentic hong kong / Chinese dishes. There is a dictionary sized menu there, so we asked the lady who runs the place for recommendations on vegan foods. She recommended the crispy green beans, which honestly did not sound appetizing to me because as vegans there’s this stigma around us only eating greens or whatever… However, these were THE BEST green beans I have ever tasted. However they served these beans, it was heavenly and addicting. My gf and I will be returning for the beans lol. Also, my gf doesn’t usually like curry, but she really enjoyed the Singapore noodles!! Make sure to ask for them without egg if you’re vegan!! The kung Pao tofu was SPICY as heck, so next time we’ll ask for light spice (we forgot to tell her we are actual babies when it comes to spice). I also got the veggie delight rice dish & it was ok, but I prefer my veggies cooked a bit longer.

Had the fatty beef/fish in chili oil and it was incredible. Everyone there was so friendly and they even gave us recommendations on how we could use our leftovers in other recipes. Loved it

I was greeted by a nice woman when I walked in! I ordered take out. Sesame chicken and orange chicken. The rice was delicious and the chicken was tender! I moved to Lansing a year ago and have looked relentlessly for a great place to order take out and this my favorite by a good mile!

Their food doesn’t just nourish you physically body but also your soul. You can tell it is made with love. I have eaten here at low points in my life like when I’m sick or after the shooting and it has made me feel better. It’s delicious.

The owners are super nice! They have daily specials that I thought is unique from other Chinese restaurants around. The owners always try to cater to your needs. I go there and cater from them a lot.
