⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Pedro Puglia
One of the best and most authentic Asian restaurants I know in East Lansing. The atmosphere is cool and the food is really good. I tried their beef noodle soup and totally recommend it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Charitha Gamlath
This place has made it into my top three restaurants in the Lansing area, simply because of their food. The food feels homemade, the owners are super friendly, and the atmosphere is simple but charming. We ordered the seafood pancake, seafood noodles, pork legs, and teriyaki eel, and every dish was delicious. Most dishes came with kimchi, potato salad and rice. Their kimchi was crispy and tasted fresh while the potato salad was smooth, providing a nice contrast. I’ll for sure be a regular here.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Beth
Felt like we stumbled across a hidden gem. The atmosphere was very welcoming; the owner made connections with each of his customers while we dined in. The food was phenomenal, and I continue to dream of the seafood pancake to this day. Everything was amazing, Thai tea, Kim chi (seriously, I don't even normally like Kim chi, but yum! ) & beef noodles. Cute place.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Ginb Om
Owners are very nice :) their food is good for its cheap price and good portion
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — James Holmes
Lovely, chill little place for soup and bubble tea. You can also get a couple fingerfoods like fried dumplings. They do have california roll and cucumber roll but the soup and no frills bubble tea is the experience to come for (not a sushi restaurant or bakery). It's been here for decades. Tony and his wife retired but luckily his brother took over.
