Food is amazing delicious & fresh. The bubble teas that I got (Strawberry/Watermelon) were both delicious the cups are nice as well. Everything was perfect food and drink wise. The service was friendly simple straight to the point. The restaurant inside was nice and clean, chill vibe. Will come back for sure. read more

I really like this place. It is only a block away and the food is delicious. I love the dumplings, fried rice, and hot and sour soup. I think I eat here at least once a week!! read more

After a night out this place is like an oasis. Great service, atmosphere and food all around. My pals and I sat in a clean booth and enjoyed our sesame chicken combos, the portions were large and our stomachs (and hearts) were full by the end of the night. Perfect place for a late night bite to eat!! read more

Customer service was great! Very helpful in deciding what I wanted. The food was not bad. The sesame chicken was sweeter than I would have liked but overall, good for the price. read more

China Flavor - 5. Spicy Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Do not be dithered by the appearance or old reviews. China Flavor is under new local family ownership, the same family who owned the beloved Golden Wok restaurant (Now Trader Joe's). This is some of the best Chinese Dim-sum small plates in the Lansing area at an amazing price. The Hong Kong tea made with whole tea leaves is addictive. Even the tripe was delicious and I don't even like tripe. This is my new favorite spot for authentic Chinese food. read more

That place is shut down with a for sale sign in the window. Waste of a trip, so glad Yelp had it listed as an option. read more

New ownership. Food is fantastic, so is the service. Dim sum is a must try, and their Hong Kong milk tea is fantastic too.

The food just sucks, low quality, sweet and sour sauce is like water, zero flavor, fried rice is bad and lo mein is also very mid. Go to china garden if possible 2/10 egg roll was the best part:.. just okay (4/10) read more

DELICIOUS food, amazing service, and quick turnaround. Plus, very reasonably priced. I recommend the Lo Mein :)

Ordered during quarantine. Kung Pao chicken with fried rice and chicken with vegetables and fried rice. Spring roll and crab rangoons. They put some potstickers in with the appetizers. My significant other and I were satisfied with the spice of everything and everything ordered. Will order again. Thank you. The only thing I didn't care for was the extra fees bc using a delivery service. read more

This restaurant is ran down, which is a token of great service in my opinion. It shows that this place served food good enough to make the restaurant survive covid even. But that alone is not enough for me to whip my phone out mid meal was how good this food was. This chicken was crisp, the sauce was so good & the rice was fire. 10/10 great food! read more

100% transparency here! The first time we placed an order, it came a little rough, but we ordered late at night right after everywhere else shut down and they were getting slammed! I called and let them know that the food wasn't exactly what we were expecting and slightly over cooked. The manager (or owner, I am not sure) made things extremely easy, gave us free meal tickets attached to my phone number. Let me tell you what, they knocked the replacement meal out of the park today, it was cooked damn near to perfection! The sweet and sour chicken had a beautifully golden crisp fry to it, and the chicken inside was incredibly juicy and HOTTT! The shrimp lo mein was fantastic as well! Noodles were cooked fantastically and the flavors were extremely well balanced! The owner while I was placing my order told me not to tip as he was going to take care of our order himself and he would take care of everything. When he delivered it himself I couldn't help it, I had to tip him. That was honestly a wonderful experience, and an excellent way to run their business, if you have a chance to order from here DO IT! Their hours make them the perfect pick for late night ordering! Excellent customer service! read more

The bf and I decided to try this newly opened Chinese place. Me and the bf went around 7 or 8p and I would suggest going when it's bright outside due to the sketchy area and it's metered parking. When we arrived the owner greeted us and sat us at a booth. He later came out and offered us complimentary soup which was very nice of him. I got the hot and sour soup which cost more but he ended up still giving me and the bf free soups. The soup was prob the best hot and sour soups I've tasted in lansing. Food: the owner actually suggested the spicy chicken and the beef hor fun which they were both delicious. We also decided on general tso's just to try it and that was good also. We also got mini shrimp balls which was yummy. Very good food and nice owners/service. read more

The last time I ordered, they forgot my sprite. I ordered chow mein and I received what looked like lo mein. Their food tastes mediocre. Spend your money at Panda Express instead. read more

This place was awful. We were there for 15 minutes before being acknowledged by a lady that was sitting front booth cleaning out her wallet. There was another lady with a colorful personality dancing around the place like she owned it, but it was really just a place she hangs out when board. All the food was old tasting and it didn't look appetizing either. I might mistake this for good food if it were 2am and I was drunk, but I wasn't...1 star! read more

China Flavor - two containers of food on a table - Chinese Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

We waited for several hours for the food to arrive. After the two hour wait the food wasn't good at all. And the two items that we received were well undercooked and had the exact same sauce on them. Very unpleasant experience, do not recommend. read more

China Flavor - Chinese Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

The food was pretty bad not going to lie. It was so bland and had no flavor. Me and my roommate were so disappointed we damn near want our money back don't go here read more

I'm not sure if I just ordered the wrong thing but I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and asked for no peanuts and a couple things: they put peanuts on it, the chicken did not look appetizing (looked spongy and fatty), the rice was cold, and something just didn't taste right. Maybe again I just ordered the wrong thing but I do not recommend the meal I just got. read more

For the price, it's not bad... but overall this place is cheap microwaved, non-seasoned, fake, take-out that is a college drunks' dream/nightmare. It is decent, but they make you leave thinking "man, if I didn't care, my Chinese food would taste like this!". read more

I can not recommend this restaurant during the pandemic. Tonight, I called and was hung up on and then it took another two hours of calls before finding out that I needed to use Grubhub to make an order delivery. After making my order through Grubhub, I then suffered through a three (3) hour wait. The app never gave me real time updates as promised. At 10:15, the app said it was 9:12 and my meal was finally being made. And to add insult to injury to get my meal I had to personally pick-up my order. When calling the restaurant about the status of my order they did not know when it would arrive. They even admitted they did not know who was delivering the order. The best they could say was a Grubhub driver had my meal. The Grubhub app stated that the restaurant delivered with their own drivers. All this was a truly sad and miserable experience for a restaurant I once truly enjoyed. It bothers me that to post the one star rating to simply get the rating posted. read more

Ordered from Eat24. Wasn't expecting anything brilliant, just quick Chinese delivery. Dumplings looked odd, but tasted good. Could have used a little more ponzu. The wonton soup was pretty bad, wontons had hard pieces of something in them, (I'm assuming tendon). The broth was pretty tasteless. Threw it away. Pepper chicken was average, 80% green peppers and onions, 20% chicken with little flavor. Took a while to arrive too, was quoted 50 to 65 minutes, ended up taking 80. Wouldn't order from here again needless to say. read more

Best Chinese food in Lansing! Always open late and accommodating to the bar crowd! Polite owners always willing to work extra for your food. Definitely recommend! read more

The rice and the rangoons were good, but unless you're a senior, or are just a fan of mushy, sauce drenched meat with good tasting vegetables, then this place is not for you. Seriously though I was not a fan of the beef and broccoli. Although, the customer service was so nice (items were given to us on the house) that I have to give 3 stars, at the very least... read more

Owner (?) Hits and screams at employees. Wouldn't recommend for pickup. Order delivery and tip well. I feel really bad for the people that work here. Food was terrible. Would have been better off grabbing Chinese from the frozen section of Meijer. read more

Nope. Duck and rice was tasty, but almost all bone. Lemon chicken was fried chicken with an inch of undercooked batter and a vat of lemon pie filling on the side. Fried rice salted beyond description. Egg rolls undercooked. Double nope. read more

Arguably the best Chinese dining experience in the area. Tea and bottled water are provided on the house, as well as soup (hot and sour or egg drop), usually served as soon as you sit down. Sometimes they also bring a plate of dumplings if the management is feeling generous. I have had the beef with broccoli and also the egg foo young. Egg foo young at China Flavor is the best I've had anywhere--it is served on a huge saucer and the dressing is superb--delicate, lightly sweet, and slightly sour. The last time I dined there, they also brought out ice cream and cubed watermelon as a palette cleanser after the meal (as well as the obligatory fortune cookie). The atmosphere is quaint and domestic, all the dishes are served on real porcelain plates and bowls, never styrofoam. The staff is extremely generous and friendly; almost over the top. I also really appreciate that they have an authentic Chinese menu IN ENGLISH. So many other places have an authentic menu only in Chinese, so I only see international guests getting the fancy dishes. Not the case at China Flavor--anyone can order anything! (Note: I have not ordered from the authentic menu yet because I'm way too scared). read more

Nice friendly people......quick service and AWESOME FOOD! What more could you ask for. Restaurant was clean....which in this area is hard to find. We parked in the back and walked up the sidewalk and they had the door propped open....I looked in to check out the kitchen....it was clean! That's a HUGE plus. The only thing I could complain about would be the musty smell as you walk in......but it's an old building and I am sure it has a really bad basement that floods. In the future, I will probably just do take out since musty smells bug me......but it won't stop me from ordering the food. read more

About a year ago, the food here was great. Recently, I dont think he puts love into his work anymore... Good prices though.

My wife and I have been here four times now and every time we've gotten something on the house, as far as soup, drinks, ice cream, or soup again! This place is quick and delicious and the people are friendly every time. read more

China Flavor - Kung Pao Chicken and Crab Rangoons! Another cup of free soup too! - Chinese Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

I went to SM and their espresso machine was down, so I figured I'd grab some lunch. Only $4.95! I ordered Tso's Chicken and it was very good, only a little spicy & sweet. My 2 yr old ate 2 bowls of the egg drop soup. The people here are so kind they even brought my little one some complimentary ice cream & watermelon. read more

Four stars is dead on in my opinion - well above-average bordering excellent Chinese food but the four stars is fully factored in the service (including friendly staff/owner and delicious treats served while waiting for takeout!) and clean space that it's hard to believe was Lamai Thaai (delish but admit it--- it was dirty). If your an Eastsider or live downtown this should be considered for your go-to for Chinese takeout. Love the Kung pao squid and the hot and sour soup. Not a huge fan of the Singapore Street Noodles. read more

The best part about this restaurant was the delivery driver and his politeness. The worst part(s) were that the food was over an hour late from the delivery time, the chicken was soggy, the rice was salty, the crab rangoons were chewy, and I don't know what spice was in the eggroll but it almost tasted like cinnamon to me. Definitely will not be ordering again and will be spending my money elsewhere. read more

We have ordered this for delivery twice now. The first time, the food was pretty good so we figured we could add this to our list of places to order from late at night when most other restaurants are closed. However, we were severely disappointed the second time ordering. The sweet and sour chicken was good the first time, but the second time, the sauce was flavorless and the chicken was tough. The only way I could describe the lo mein was strangely wet... Just absolutely covered in thin, flavorless sauce. The donuts were chewy. The only items we ordered that were pretty good were the crab rangoons. Very disappointed and likely will not be ordering in the future. read more

Such a sweet old man working there. Food was good and very in-expensive. Good for pickup.

I ordered Chicken Lo mein and some Crab Rangoons The chicken was soggy, really didn't taste like chicken at all. The texture of it was more like that of a boiled chicken nugget from McDonalds. BUT THE NOODLES. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE LO MEIN!! They aren't even Lo Mein noodles. They are some soggy Udon junk that tastes like it's been stored in a can for a year in chicken broth. The ingredients in the "chicken lo mein" are not anything like you'd order AT LITERALLY ANY OTHER CHINESE RESTAURANT EVER. I was so beyond excited to slam down some chicken lo mein only to get a box full of soggy tape worms. read more

Ordered 5 things. Chicken was awful for both orders. Over cooked. Breading was soggy. Crude rice was ok. There was little to no flavor. Ordered a side of Lo Mein, received udon instead that tasted awful. Doesn't even have Lo Mein ingredients. The dumplings were good tasting, but over cook and poorly made. They fell apart just holding them. Extremely disappointed. Upset I couldn't get a refund. read more

The local crackhead likes to hang out here and yell and dance outside the front door. I think her friend (?) works here (??). What you get at China flavor is a nice taste of the local area, which I can only accurately and shamefully describe as "Ghettolicious," which isn't even a real word... But it's fitting because the food here is unreal. I mean, I refuse to believe that what I ordered was actually beef, And that the sauce was anything but a freaky msg stew. China flavor is a holding place of lost souls and old meat pretending to be fresh meat. read more

The delivery was quick and accurate, the food was still hot and they sent a can of coke with my order which was very nice! The food was very good, too. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! I didn't have a yelp account until I received food from China Flavor. I absolutely had to warn other customers of the scam that goes on at this restaurant, so I downloaded it lmao. China Flavor is one of the only places open at 1:30 in the lansing area so we decided to get it delivered and try it out on 4/20. Absolutely ruined my favorite holiday. The Lo Main was literally just soup noodles, the fried rice was easily a 25 cent pack of nasty brown rice from Meijer, and the chicken was hardly chicken, super stringy and even had some sharp pieces in it. Here I am the next morning with a super upset stomach and nothing but regret for dropping 30+ dollars on Chinese food I had to throw away. Very sad, don't fall for the scam. read more
