Everyday | A Hidden Cantonese Gem Near MSU – My New #1 in Greater Detroit! 📍 1375 E Grand River Ave, East Lansing, MI 48823 Let me start with the rating: 4.8/5 ⭐! Sorry, sorry—just have to gush first! This long-standing spot near Michigan State University has been recommended by friends for ages—but somehow, I always missed it on my trips to Lansing. I’m kicking myself for not coming sooner, because one bite yesterday instantly made it my top Cantonese restaurant in the Greater Detroit area 🥇! Must-Try Dishes Yu Xiang Eggplant Pot: The eggplant is fried first, so it’s crispy on the outside but soft inside—sweet, savory, and perfectly tender. All the best textures and flavors in one pot! 🍆 Sichuan Pepper Beef: The beef slices are super tender, and the dish is packed with that fragrant Sichuan pepper aroma. Spicy but not overwhelming—so addictive you’ll keep reaching for more 😋. Lucky Roast Platter: A feast of jellyfish, roasted duck, white-cut chicken, char siu (barbecue pork), and crispy pork belly. As someone who refuses to eat duck if it has even a hint of gaminess, I can say every item here is delicious! The green onion dipping sauce is also a total standout—elevates every bite. Steamed Live Fish: There’s a seafood tank at the entrance—they pick the fish fresh and cook it right away. It’s the definition of “fresh”—tender flesh, light sauce, and you can taste the ocean (in the best way). Total winner for seafood lovers 🐟! Price Reference The four dishes above cost around $120 (before tip)—great value for the portion size and quality, especially for a group to share 💰. A Small Regret We went for dinner, so we missed out on their pineapple buns 🥹—I’ve heard they’re amazing, so next time I’m definitely coming for lunch to try them! Also, word on the street: if you stick to Cantonese dishes here, you’ll never go wrong. If you’re passing through the area, do yourself a favor and stop by! Ambiance & Service The space is just a regular Chinese restaurant (nothing fancy)—but when the food is this good, who needs fancy decor? The servers are super friendly, and the food comes out quickly—no long waits, which is always a plus ✨. #Detroit #LansingEats #MSU #MichiganFood #AnnArborFood #NorthAmericanLife #UniversityOfMichiganAnnArbor #MichiganStateUniversity
