Peking Express

Love the lamb hotpot here. It doesn’t hold back on the spiciness which is great! Get a side of vegetables which comes with tofu, enoki mushroom etc and you’re good to go. I recommend going with at least three other friends to eat this since it’s so plentiful.

Get the Lamb Pot was super delicious, portion was generous for the money and service was great. Best authentic Chinese food around town.

We ordered an orange chicken with crab rangoon. Instead we received a completely wrong dish and their management would not do anything to fix it. We tried explaining that all we wanted was the right food but they did not care and would not help us. It was irritating because they just kept telling us we were wrong when they were at fault. Very unhappy with the service.

The dishes were less competitive to other Chinese restaurant near MSU. The quality was lack as well. One thing I want to most highlight was the service was pretty bad. I was raising my hand for them to give us check for 3 mins and no one even saw or came while they were just working on right nearby. And after that I asked them to come and they picked our cards raggedly. It’s bad. If you want chinese food there are some much better than Peking around

Rude service. Food was mediocre at best. Quickly served at the expense of quality and care in preparation. Pricey dining for what you receive. Bland noodles, stale rice and plain egg rolls. Combo dinners looked from a microwaved box. Try East Café down the block or Rice Kitchen for MSG Chinese food. With so many quality Asian cuisine in East Lansing, they and you can do better.

Horrible experience! I ordered a delivery with the delivery fee already charged. When I got the delivery, I am tipping the delivery guy for 2 dollars just for thanking him. He said’”just two dollars? You have to pay 10−15% for tips” I mean, when the hell we have to pay a sit in dining tips for delivery!

Peking Express is my go to New York style «Chinese» restaurant in the Lansing Metro. The food is typically priced. They serve the food quickly. But the real win here is in the serving size: an $ 8 meal gets a you a huge helping of your main dish, rice, crab-​rangoon/​egg-​roll. The dumplings seem to be made in house are vegetarian and are pretty tasty.
Can’t ask for much more in a «Chinese» take out joint.

Solid lunch destination. This little hole in the wall (or basement if you want to get technical) has decent food. The authentic menu is where it’s at, but in the event that you can’t see yourself eating the organ meats of animals, perhaps you should stick to the more mainstream dishes.
They have a fairly good menu with the standard Americanized dishes (General Tso’s, Almond Chicken, etc.), great selection of noodle soups, and non-​Americanized dishes. The food does tend to be on the milder side. Not even their hot chili paste is not. Not a bad place to go, but there are definitely better places within driving distance.

There is no excuse for the poor service and the bad food here. The delivery driver was an asshole. The rice was lumped together like shit and the chicken looked like shit. I will put up with this from Rice Kitchen because they deliver at 4:00 AM. This restaurant needs to go out of business now. I want my money back.

This restaurant is horrible. I ordered the Orange Chicken and it gave me food poisoning (and I have never had food poisoning before) that forced me to be out of commission for four days. I would highly recommend that you steer clear of this place. The delivery man also couldn’t figure out my location, when it is honestly the easiest location to find. Just seriously do not eat here. You will regret it. For four days.

this is the WORST chinese restaurant in east lansing. so i did delivery here one time and it took forever and the food was stale also the people on the phone got confuesed lol didnt even know what was on THEIR own menu. I cam into the restaurant for a smoothie THAT WAS ALL. there was no line no one else there lol this was in summer when east lansing is liek dead lol and they forgot and only started when after 10 mins my friend and i were liek wth why is it taking so long ??? needless to stay the smoothie was the worst smoothie that id ever had. DONT waster your money.

Authentic chinese restaurant ambiance, good food, reasonable prices, and quick service. They also have big tables with rotating top for large groups! Give it a try!

Was good before, but now it’s terrible. Food is extremely oily, it’s like they added half a carton of oil into each dish they cook. When you order for delivery from them, they almost always deliver food that’s spilled out, making the entire meal a huge mess before you even start it. The customer service is also terrible, with deliveries often missing chopsticks, knives, forks, etc along with missing items such as drinks.

Yeah, I’m pretty much fed up with their service. Twice in a row, I’ve ordered through Grub Hub and they’ve messed up the drink order. The first time, I was offered a free 2 liter of drink. They didn’t bother to tell me that I had no choice of what drink — they just blithely brought a 2 liter of regular Mt. Dew. I hate Mt. Dew and am diabetic, so that probably would have killed me.
This time, I check the box on the order menu to indicate I wanted Diet Pepsi, and (again with no phone call) they brought me regular Pepsi. When I said I’d ordered Diet, the delivery guy said they don’t carry Diet Pepsi. Well, then why on earth is it on the order website!!!
It might sound petty, but their food is no longer good enough to put up with bad service and not the drink I want.
I’m going back to ordering from Gourmet Village — they’re a Coke place, but at least I know what I’m getting before it gets here.

Service is good, but taste is really not good.

I had heard that this is a great place for Chinese food — mostly from MSU grads. I finally got a chance to check out this place and I was not impressed. Service was very rushed even though there was just a few customers scattered through the dining room. I ordered the BBQ duck on rice for $ 6.95. The entire dish was lukewarm — tasty enough, but not great. I think this was a great place back in the day and under previous owners as I’ve figured out from reading the other reviews. I’ll probably not be back.

When this place first opened, boy was the food magnificent. I use to only get Chinese food here and it all went downhill…
THEN, the business was sold to another owner. The food then got worse and worse. My Shrimp Omelette that I normally get was just not the same. It became too oily and they starting skimping on the shrimp.
Had the Mango Pudding there and it was really good. Again, haven’t had it once it was under new ownership.
It’s sad that it has come to this where I can’t go back to enjoy a good meal anymore.

This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in East Lansing, and really, in all of Michigan. The tiny, hole-​in-​the-​wall place run by an old man and his wife — immigrants from eastern China in the 1970s — was a great place to go for any kind of quick Cantonese craving. It reminds me now of some of the little places in Shanghai, owned by similar-​minded folks, which for me adds a little bit of authenticity. Or at least down-​home Chinese atmosphere.
Having tried just about everything from the mongolian beef to the sweet and sour pork and tons of the various daily specials, I can honestly say that in my opinion, nothing was bad there. I’m not huge on water chestnuts so I’d avoid those dishes with ‘em, myself, but that’s a matter of personal taste and not quality.
And the old man and his wife were friendly folks, too. After awhile they knew you by name, what you were up to — as a student they knew what I was studying and would ask how various things were coming along. When things were slow, they’d let me in a little bit on their family, and how their sons were doing and all that, even though I’d never met them and likely never will. They’d become characters in a family drama that I’d gotten to, at least in part, bear witness to. Really, just great people altogether. Sometimes when I get Chinese food elsewhere, I kind of miss them, and wish they were still in the back running the kitchen or something.
A couple years ago or so they moved into a new, bigger location, and the old man confessed that they were having trouble making ends meet. The rent was too high, and business was slowing down. I’d moved away by then, and was only in town visiting, so certainly I was no help to them, but I ordered a plate of mongolian beef and the largest coke they had, to try and do my part. I still spent under ten bucks. He brought it to me at my table, now that they had actual tables, his wife in tow with an extra serving of rice, and it was the last time I ever saw either of them.
The place has new owners now, and they also serve korean dishes as well. It’s still pretty decent food, but it’s still primarily Cantonese, so really, you have to go a long way to screw it up. Now if you’re dining in, sometimes they’ll serve you on those cast-​iron sizzle plates, which I still get a kick out of, despite it being wholly unauthentic and inappropriate.
Either way, it’s not the same without the old man and his wife. I hope they’re doing alright, Chinese food in Michigan isn’t the same without them.

This place has changed over the past year, because they have a new owner and cook. Before, it was very similar to rice kitchen where you’d probably only get like combo #5, however they now have traditional chinese dishes as well as korean food.
The service here is ok, there’s this one girl who likes me so she gives me some hookups. You can choose between Korean rice, and chinese rice. If you are Korean, they will most likely serve you side dishes (banchan). I haven’t tried all the dishes, but from what I’ve had it is pretty tasty. You can tell that the ingredients are fairly fresh, and they actually know how to cook it.
I recommend the crispy ginger beef, the cantonese pan-​fried noodles, and any tofu dish. These are the main dishes I get. It’s not overly greasy, and it’s quite tasty. My friends and I usually go family style and share the entire feast, and end up spending about 7 to 8 bucks, including tip.

5 stars for Old Man Peking and his Peking Express hat!
«You want spicy, no spice?»
Then he bangs on the bell and yells at his wife while she cooks your food.
The food is alright, but the real value is the entertainment from the owners.
