East Café

Highly recommended. Authentic Cantonese cuisine. Very good selection of hot and spicy dishes. Good, friendly service and reasonable prices.

When I got there they helped me pick what I should get, the food was super good (mapo tofu), and they were very kind. I definitely would recommend going here!

You better like real Chinese food and not the Americanized Chinese food. This place is authentic and amazing! The beef mushroom stone pot is excellent!

My first visit to East Cafe in East Lansing, MI was fairly pleasant! Overall the food was great but it can be very INCONSISTENT, they have very POOR SERVICE & the one waitress was rather RUDE. Would I visit again? Yes it's not the worst food/place, my food was delicious but it's definitely not the best service. Here's a further in depth review on what I liked and disliked about the experience ~

Pros ~ Chicken Pad Thai was delicious, it's the best I've ever had! The grape bubble tea was fairly good but the tapioca pearls were a bit old and mushy for my liking. The one waitress was very kind! They have a wide variety of dishes to choose from too!

Cons ~ One waitress seemed to be short with me after I politely asked about a dish on the menu. Nobody every stopped by our table to see how we are enjoying our food and if we needed anything.

At literally every single restaurant I've been to, they ALWAYS serve the drinks first or at least along with your meal. Here they gradually brought our drinks out one by one every 10-20 minutes or so (we had 6 drinks). It took so long that our food came first and we were almost done eating!!! This is NOT OK!!

My uncle ordered frog legs which he had here before and he said they were amazing, so he ordered them again. Not only were they about 1/4 the size they used to be, but worse yet is that they were big time FREEZER BURNT!!! The taste was so disgusting and they offered no discount or coupon or anything to reimburse us for this horrible food. VERY INCONSISTENT with their food!!!
