26 Best Chinese Restaurants near Meridian

“I eat here at least once a week. The food is great with a lot of made to order choices as well as the items in the hot trays. Some favorites are the Kung Pao chicken and Moo Shu Porkl. Very reasonabe prices and you get generous portions. This restaurant is family owned and operated and you aways get friendly service.“

“Absolutely love this place! I visit every time I'm in East Lansing to see my son at MSU. If we don't dine in I ALWAYS stop to take food to go to take home for later. Love all of the choices. One of my favorites are the jumbo chicken wings!! Wish this place had a location over by me in Troy!!“

“Though my food and waitress were not outstanding, what was outstanding was the manager at this location. Not only did he come over to deliver my drink and show us a cool trick, but he kept checking on us throughout the meal and went out of his way to ensure our satisfaction. Would come back just because of him.“

“I'm a truck driver who was delivering a load in the area and craving ramen. So, I found this place and ordered via Uber Eats. Let me start off by saying that the food is absolutely phenomenal. Everything tasted high quality and fresh. The food was packaged carefully. The broth for my spicy ramen didn't even leak! I also ordered the wontons in chili oil, which, again, were very fresh. The skin was thin, too, so it wasn't too doughy— just the perfect bite. My co-driver ordered the stir-fried udon with beef and enjoyed it immensely.

Now, onto the not-so-great details: this place is not very affordable with its high prices. It's the kind of restaurant you go to to Treat Yourself(TM). As delicious as it was, the spicy ramen came out to a whopping $39 with added toppings. Now, of course, it was my decision to add those toppings, so I'm not TOO hung up on that (mainly because I'm still trying to convince myself that the quality and taste at least made it worth a shot). But, nowhere on the menu or website does it describe what the ramen already comes with (no picture either), so it was either: 1) order and hope it comes with the usual toppings; or 2) ensure it has toppings by adding it myself. Normally, I would have no issue doing that, but keep in mind that the toppings range from $2.99 - $4.99 each. I think this restaurant could include more detailed descriptions for its dishes, and not just for the ramen. The item descriptions have VERY few words to begin with.

Moving on from the ramen itself, the prices for everything else I ordered were pretty high for the portion received. The scallion pancake was $11.95, but it only came with a single pancake. Usually, at that price, you'd get way more. The takoyaki was $10.95 with only 4 balls, and the signature sausage was $13.95 for what I'm pretty sure was only one sliced-up sausage. All were VERY good (the takoyaki was just okay), but the prices kind of killed it for us. Again, we're just sort of in a state of denial trying to convince ourselves it was worth it, because there is ZERO doubt that the food was amazing.

All things considered, I would come here again, but definitely only during a Treat Yourself(TM) day. Maybe next time, we'll try sitting in!“

“Great food,service,and prices“

“We love it for all our family get togethers. The private rooms are so nice“

“My only regret is not having come here before. The food was delicious and portions are very generous. I had their eggplant in garlic sauce but also had a chance to taste the orange chicken and Mongolian beef, which were also amazing. Service was fantastic and really fast. Highly recommend it and I will be back.“

“Food was very good for the price, service was welcoming and respectful! I hate the atmosphere in the community, seems like everyone is angry and not welcoming to someone who isn’t from there community! Lots and Lots of angry stares from total strangers! Im just going to hope everyone was having a bad day! But nothing is perfect and the food here makes you happy enough to let the little things slide!“

“10/10“

“The best fast Chinese restaurant near me (Lansing) my mom (Venice Fl) and my sister in Seattle WA. We love it. Mom passed but every visit she demanded it. Thank you for the good memories with my mom. 🥰“

“Best local Chinese! The staff is friendly and the food is always delicious. It's our go to place for Chinese takeout.“

“Absolutely the best Chinese food I have had in East Lansing/Lansing. Very friendly and helpful service as well. I will certainly return whenever I am in town!“

“This is a little more of a take out restaurant. There is only one table to sit at. We hadn't seen this restaurant advertised, just stopped in because we wanted Chinese. The menu is huge, the cook came out and asked if we needed anything and made sure we were happy with our purchase. I had the sweet and sour chicken, my husband had shrimp Lo Mein. The dishes were excellent. This is definitely a restaurant that we will go to again.“

“During my wonton soup addiction, this place is my absolute goto. The owner remembers his customers, and every detail of their orders. The atmosphere and service makes each visit feel like your visiting family. Thank you for perfect soup, every single time!“

“You really gotta try it!! This is one of my favorite restaurants in the US; every time I order, I got those juicy meat balls, ribs, and pork belly; you haven’t experienced bliss before, wait until they melt in your mouth.

They come in big portions at reasonable prices, the re are only two person working in the shop, but what they deliver is not something to dismiss.

I haven’t tried the English menu so I can’t really comment on that, but my friends like the rice noodles, fried rice, and sweet & sour chicken.“

“Wow!!! Over the top good!! I ordered the #3 combo, Chicken Chop Suey with bean sprouts, AWESOME. American Chinese style food is not just about the taste but texture too, everything exceeded my expectations. Ordered in store, not over phone, about 5PM.

The egg roll was perfect, crispy shell, innards crunchy and had great taste, and NOT greasy, not a drop of oil to be had.
The vegetables in the entree were wonderfully crisp yet tender, fresh, had perfect color, had full flavor ( I could taste each flavor separately), not over cooked, and a delight to crunch. The chicken was tender and almost melted on my mouth. The sauce complimented the Pork fried rice very well and was not overpowering.
I can't wait to have my leftovers for lunch tomorrow ( we all KNOW how good Chinese style leftovers are). Thanks for a great meal, reminded me of Wo Hop's, #17 Mott Street.“

“Generally speaking, the food at Chen's is very good. I particularly enjoy their shrimp egg foo young and their fried wontons. Portions are a good size, and the cooks are conscientious of allergy concerns. My out-of-town friends like Chen's food, and this is where it becomes embarrassing. The restaurant interior is absolutely filthy - it is downright gross. For such a successful restaurant, there is absolutely no need for this. Indeed, the Health Department should be notified. This is a family business. The teen waitresses could use a tip in friendliness and manners, as well.“

“Our family has ordered from Asian Gourmet several times, sometimes for 6-8 people, and the staff consistently gets the orders correct. They are always nice when we pick up, and have offered to help carry larger orders to the car. There are many menu options to choose from and the food is always good. The place is lot much to look at, but this is not a sit-down restaurant.“

“Yummy! We took my mom for Mother’s Day and she loves it. I’m glad to see them open for dine in again!“

“This place is so good I frequent it and dream about it. The tea is good. The dumplings are good and the braised pork on rice is absolutely incredible I could it it everyday. When I go it’s always the same two girls in there and they are so nice and attentive / great place my fav around“

“Got a to go lunch order L14 & 2 egg rolls...Very good...Food was very Hot when back home...
Service was ok...but not real helpful...I explained never been here before...That didn't seem to help any? I will go back...to try other dinners...Hopefully the hostess has a better attitude!!“

“Purchased Hunan Chicken and General Tso chicken. They both had good flavor, the General Tso was cold though. The fried rice and Hunan Chicken were warm. Service was quick as usual. Booths are smaller and good for 2 people or maybe an adult and smaller kid on each side.“

“The oasis of East Lansing. Quality Establishment.“

“I used to be a regular at this place when my office was just a mile away. I probably have not eaten here in 8 to 10 years. My go to dish was always Mongolian beef. I had it again and it was still as delicious as I remembered it. I'm not wild about the rice, and did not eat much of it. The main dish did not skimp on meat, which was good.“

“Within the mindset of “fast food” this Panda location if as good as you can get. I don’t even care which entree it is, if Izaiah or anyone else who cooks back there just got done making it fresh, I’m absolutely loving it. Seriously, the location gets enough traffic during main meal times that the food is usually poppin off hot. It’s soooo good. Always clean, a beautiful view of campus, plenty of sunshine through the windows. Eat here, get whatever is fresh, and enjoy.“

“Good food and super fast as advertised! The chicken i got was labeled spicy, but i think that only applies if you’re polish or german or something… i would give it a 0.5/10 on the spicy meter… literally was sweet and sour chicken. Was GREAT… just …sweet.“
