The Kung Fu

sweet baby jesus!!! how has this place been here all this time and i did not know about it? remember when i raved about the pork string beans at hong kong? well these are like a hundred fucking times better!!! and the orange chicken… you will never eat sweet ass goopy orange chicken anywhere else again. ridiculously insanely good. best chinese food in lansing (until i find the next hidden gem which is somehow even better).

Nice authentic Chinese food! A lot of surprise here. Many new dishes satisfy your difference desire! Nice place to hang out

I was really surprised to find an authentic Szechuan restaurant in Lansing. With a name like kung fu I had my doubts, but on the first visit the menu had all the standard fare. I ordered the lamb with cumin, spicy chicken pieces, and the spicy boiled fish. The spiciness definitely make it an authentic experience — although I wish they offered a boneless version of the spicy chicken.

Been to a great deal of the asian food places in east lansing this one does not stand out in any aspect. Foods nothing special atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired and service is poor to fair at best would not recommend dining here.

Love this place! Great food and reasonable price. The staffs are friendly and efficient. Would like to come back any time!

Outstanding Korean entries made fresh, pricing is very reasonable, restaurant is clean and comfortable and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

NOT vegetarian friendly — dishes like «tofu with spicy bean sauce» contain PORK but they don’t tell you that ahead of time!
They also completely ignore any special requests for your order — I ordered something and requested it with no peppers, and it came loaded with peppers. When I called them to complain, they refused to take any action to correct it and justified ignoring my request by saying «the recipe has peppers in it».

I used to eat here a lot. However, the most recent experience has made me never ever want to eat here anymore.
Both my Gf and I ordered take out. It came fast. Only 30 minutes. But the quantity has reduced to half of what it was.
The Horrible thing is. The food made two of us bad stomach. We spent a night dealing with medicine.
I will not recommend you come here. There is no real chinese food in Lansing. Go to Ann Arbor if u want quality Chinese food.

This Chinese food is excellent. The best thing that I have had so far is their cold noodles which are AMAZING! They also have great vegetarian dishes including their vegetarian General Tso’s Beef. Their spring rolls are light and crispy. I can’t wait to go back and catch their lunch buffet which is a great deal!

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Kung Fu by some Chinese friends.
Kung Fu is located in Frandor, next to Big John’s Steak and Onion. This restaurant used to be a Los Tres Amigos Express. The décor inside is rather plain, but most importantly, appeared to be very clean.
Kung Fu has a lunch buffet during the week for $ 6.50. My friends said the lunch buffet has some fairly authentic Chinese food on it.
I asked my friends to order what they felt was good, and the most authentic, as I have been searching for a non-​Americanized Chinese restaurant. They told me that the style at Kung Fu is more Northern-​China, and spicy. Kung Fu is known for spicy dishes, in fact, when you go to their website, their tagline is «We will spice up your throat». If you aren’t into spicy food, there are several non-​spicy items on the menu. We shared several dishes including:
— #06 –Sichuan Cold Chicken– A delish appetizer that was sliced cold chicken, with a flavorful sauce, sprinkled with green onions and sesame seeds (non spicy).
— #43– Spicy Rabbit– Cut up roasted rabbit with a spicy sauce– very tasty, just have to get used to eating around the bones a bit.
— #45 Fatong Fish– A huge, hot bowl that contained the fish that was cooked in a spicy broth with vegetables. This was spicy, but I find if I did not eat the peppers directly it was really good and flavorful.
— #79 Green Pepper with Beef– This was a non spicy dish with cooked strips of beef and green pepper– this dish had a lot of flavor and was much better than the standard beef/​peppers at Chinese restaurants.
#122– Sweet Potato in Sticky Rice Pie– This dish is listed under desserts, but we ate it with our meal. I was picturing a pie, but this really looks more like a cookie. The sweetness level was low, it had about the sweetness of a sweet potato. It was lightly fried and coated in sesame seeds. I really enjoyed this one!
Now that I have had a tutorial from my Chinese friends, I feel excited to go back and try some more authentic Chinese food. They said I really can’t go wrong with the menu, and the dishes above are their personal favorites. The service was friendly, and the food came out fast. I recommend checking out Kung Fu if you are interested in eating some authentic Chinese food in the Lansing area.

The food was okay, but the issue was with timing. It’s okay if you’re planning to share all the plates you order. Dishes were being brought out as they were ready, so my husband’s main entrée was getting cold by the time mine came out. The hot and sour soup was different than most places — very heavy on black pepper — so heavy that it was all you could really taste. There didn’t appear to be red chiles in it so it wasn’t really spicy despite all the black pepper in it.

Pretty tasty take-​out buffet choice for a quick lunch. I’m not sure what the dish was called, but the yellow noodles with the spicy red powder were a stand out! Very unique and flavorful. The staff is above-​average helpful and polite, and the prices are fair for lunch, although the dinner menu seems a bit pricier.
Now, I’m not very adventurous when it comes to food… but I have to applaud The Kung Fu for their interesting and diverse menu — especially for being in the Lansing area. Some items to note:
Pig Intestine w/​Bean Curd, Kimchi and Pig Blood, Rabbit with Little Ginger… and many more curiousities I can’t recall… If you’re looking for an adventure in your mouth you should check The Kung Fu out!
PS/​They have Bubble Tea!

If you wanna eat good spicy chinese food. then you should dine here.

I’ve heard good things about this resturant, so I’ve headed there twice. The first time I was beyond being disappointed. The service wasn’t service. Resturant staff seated us, then ignored us for about 30 minutes before we showed ourselves out.
On my second visit, the staff was much more friendly. I had the Spicy Chicken, my wife had some chicken with broccoli dish.
I must say, these guys don’t mess around with the thai chillis… mine was HOT and delicious. I can imagine some unsuspecting visitors might order it, not realizing the ratio of chilli peppers to meat.
Either way, I look forward to going there again… Assuming their issues with waitstaff are perminately addressed, this may pan out to be my favorite chinese resturant in town…

I’ve had two meals here and they both were excellent: green beans with ground pork, and fish soup. The flavors are bright, persistent and fresh, and the food comes out lava-​hot and piled up. The pot-​stickers take a while (because they’re made to order, from stratch!!) but they are worth it. I can’t speak to the place’s authenticity, but they do have some things that take some courage to try (blood curd soup, chicken’s feet, tripe). The prices are good too and the buffet looked fresh and hot, with good variety. I’ve had too many horrible Chinese buffets, but it looks like they put a lot of effort into their buffet, so if you need a fast and filling luncheon, maybe give it a try.

I had wanted to try this new Sichuan restaurant for a few weeks now, but the final incentive came in the form of a free appetizer coupon in the mail! I grabbed a few friends and headed over on a Saturday night. The place was filled (with chinese people) around 5:30, so that was a very good sign.
We ordered a cold appetizer– the spicy tofu ($ 5.95). It was incredible! The mala flavor of the sichuan province was very well represented in this little dish. It is extremely spicy, so order it with caution. All three of us enjoyed that one a lot.
We ordered three entrees– fragrant eggplant ($ 9.95), sichuan shrimp ($ 12.95), and mapo tofu ($ 9.95). All three were fantastic! The fragrant eggplant was sweet and tangy, but not spicy at all. I asked for a side of chili oil, so I was happy. The sichuan shrimp was amazing! Nice succulent shrimp with vegetables in a spicy sauce. I will be ordering that one again for sure. The mapo tofu was also very authentic, so vegetarians, be warned, there is ground meat in this dish. We ate our hearts out!
The only reason I didn’t give this place all 5 stars was because the service was a disaster. There were only 3 waitresses for a packed house, and most of the guests, including us, were getting impatient for refilled drinks, food orders, etc. I hope this gets more streamlined as they get into the swing of things.
If you’re looking for an authentic chinese meal, definitely try this place!

I THINK I’m a fan … two visits thus far, first a Very Good ‘orange chicken’ and the second a mediocre [at best] ‘lemon chicken’ … location tucked between Medawars and Big Johns north of Frandor earns no points for ambiance, has been off/​on Chinese joint in several iterations now ~ its linoleum or take-​out neighborhood owner-​op working hard to make their margins … this one has promise.
Bad News first — lemon chicken call-​in was a plastic bin of yellow sweet sour stuff to pour on a shoeleather patty … i’ve had worse but wont eat this again.
Good News is that when i sat at counter on busy Friday night as walkin, i got the best orange chicken i’ve had [other than my own] on a long damn time. Dark meat, breaded, not overcooked, in very flavorful, authentically ‘hot’ [i beg for a bit of it but am not a Hot freak — find Chinese eateries reluctant to trust western palates].
Took a long time to make — old boy Chinese cook, working w/​scratch materials. Place was full of Chinese, btw — always a Good Sign.
Ingredients fresh, staff works hard/​fast and pays attention to what they’re doing.
Caught tail end of a lunch buffet and its probably better when you’re there three hours earlier — not a large selection but if prepared well would be fine — dinner 12 bucks /​lunch 6 = Fair Enough, maybe on low side.
Awful name — pay no mind. DO think about what you order — menu is still a little bit Original and you can probably find something a little out of the ordinary here … but Apple Jade and Hong Kong are also Frandor area, and same can be said for them.
Goin’ back tonight
This will never be a 5-​star, but .we shall see …
