I'm surprised more people don't eat here - it could be the hidden location next to International Market and a laundromat. I do see a lot of takeout orders going out, but usually you can easily get a seat and the food is prepared quickly. Have tried maybe 10-12 different dishes and all of them are good in their own way. Some favorites include the Spicy fish filet soup (a large bowl you can share), shredded pork with dry bean curd, stir fry string bean (a classic), and then the string bean with ground pork - (green beans are diced into small pieces). You really can't go wrong, so it's a matter of finding your favorites. The servers are extremely helpful and almost always know the menu very well. You can get American-style dishes such as Beef Broccoli and General Tso, but I would recommend branching out - haven't been disappointed with any menu item yet! Really great execution, professional service, all around fantastic place to eat, especially with a group so you can order several dishes to share. read more

Main dining area in on your left when you walk in. I got seated and looked at the menu. My nephew told me about this place and told me to get the dry pot, so checked the place out while visiting EL. I looked at the menu and for the dry pot, you need to select a min. of seven items from the menu. If doing dry pot, let the staff know, as there's a separate menu for it. I went with med. spice, added: squid x 2, rice noodles x 2, shrimp x 2, beef brisket x 2, pork belly x 2, baby bokchoy x 1, chinese cabbage x 1, egg plant x 1, dry tofu x 2, & enoki mushroom x 1 Yes, added a lot and it's because the menu was not helpful. Lot of the items are singular, couldn't tell if "Squid" meant 1 or 1 serving. If it was 1 serving, how many squids came in a serving? As I wasn't sure, some of them I ended up ordering two. IE: Shrimp, I got 2 orders, there were 9 or 10 shrimps... had I know 1 order was equal to 5 shrimps, I would have ordered just 1. I wish they would update their menu to reflect the topping items so the customers know how many comes in a order. My bill came out to $70, yeah, it can get expensive! It took some time to get the food... but because I ordered lot of items, the food that came out was good for 5 people :) It was good, loved the medium spice and definitely hit the spot. Oh and yes, had leftover and took it home. I thought I was going a good job of eating, but barely made dent in the plate. I brought the leftovers home and had two more meals out of it. If you are in EL area, definitely visit the place and if you go, go with friends to try other offerings. If you are solo diner and ordering dry pot, only order one item of each from the list and 7 items from the list will be plenty for one person. Three stars for now. read more

A very quiet restaurant -- which is excellent for having a conversation with the person you're dining with! The food is interesting and inexpensive compared to other nice Asian restaurants in the area and the menu is diverse. I get the chicken curry with bok choy and absolutely love the pickled radishes (I could get a take out order of just those!). This will continue to be one of my favorite places to go. read more

Reservations: You don't need a reservation! Ambiance: Pretty spacious and they can accommodate big groups as well. Service: Very friendly! Food $$: We got the dry pot and it is pretty big that you should share with 2 people. I would first try Spicy then go with Extra Spicy. It does have a mala kick to it. Audience: Solo Trip [ ] Family Friendly [X] Friends [X] Date Spot [X] Recommendations/tips: Pretty authentic! I recommend. read more

Nicely decorated and clean. Service was good but waited a long time for my soup and then of course my dinner came right after. The hot & sour soup was served very hot but lacked the hot and sour. I had their rice bowl beef brisket. Looked great, lacked flavor, I had to ask for salt to get the flavor to come out. I finished it all and left hungry. I drove 40 min hoping to get some good Chinese food, I was disappointed read more

Limit Kitchen & Bar - I ordered the Chongqing Chili Chicken & Salt and Pepper Pork Chop w/side of white rice. - Karaoke Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

I LOVE this place!! As a Chinese American and was always craving Chinese and Taiwanese food, this hit the spot every single time. When I was missing home, I would come here with friends to enjoy a perfect plate of braised pork on rice with bok choy and eggs with a side of Taiwanese Fried Chicken (both the original flavor and the spicy are terrific!). The mapo tofu has also constantly hit the spot. The one that each dish is perfectly seasoned along with the portions being huge, I always come away satisfied and craving fulfilled. This is a small business and they have done a great job of renovations from several years ago. If you're looking for a spot that you can have gatherings with, this would be the place! And if you karaokeing, this is a fun spot to do it at in their backrooms! read more

I asked my husband to surprise me, and he did! He picked this place all by himself. I couldn't help but wonder why we were the only customers though. The place was empty! The service was super quick and the portions were big. The food was served hot and steamy. The decor and atmosphere made the place very appealing. read more

The carry out is ok. I wouldn't eat in the restaurant. The place is empty the two times I've gotten takeout.

The food was really really good. We actually chose this place for karaoke, but the song selection is just barely acceptable for English speaking audiences. There's no way to play your own music and the search function is completely busted. (Try typing in an artist who you literally have open and it won't find it. Makes no sense) Edit: okay you just type the first letter of the artists name and then scroll the pages til you find it. read more

I ordered online via DoorDash and got the "Spicy boiled beef". When I tell you, the serving size is very large, and this is the closest food in America that I've had that tasted like I had it in China. It tastes similar to food in Hunan and they are very generous with serving sizes. Will definitely be ordering this again if I'm craving Chinese read more

First time trying this darling restaurant (hidden gem) tucked away in a strip mall. The space is really cool and clean with unique light fixtures and comfortable spaces. A beautiful bar is front and center when you walk in. Love the sparkly top! The staff was very friendly and helpful with questions. It was surprisingly empty for a Friday night at dinner time but more people started to arrive after we were seated. Plenty of room. No waiting. The menu was not too big but has a little bit of everything you'd want in a Chinese restaurant. Our food was delicious and beautifully presented. We will definitely be back! read more

Limit is a decent place for Chinese. We've been visiting here for years, even back when they were "Limit Pool and Karaoke". They've since reinvented themselves as a restaurant first, with karaoke on the side (and no more pool tables). Even in the brave new COVID world, their pricing is reasonable -- there are many other restaurants I cannot say the same for. Our favorite dishes are probably: * 辣子鸡 (spicy fried chicken) * 麻辣酱大骨 (spicy ribs) And their 麻辣香锅 / 麻辣烫 (spicy pot / spicy soup) are respectable. Overall I'd say East Lansing is lucky to have this place. read more

Speedy, service food was piping hot and very tasty looked as good as it taste and my daughter had the bowl stew and got to pick all these different items. That was really good and she had a medium spice. It wasn't too hot. My wife had chicken and I had a beef meal. Very tasty. We will be back. read more

Food was awful, nauseating even. The 2 shrimp in the lo mein were dime sized. Only detectable flavor was garlic, and it was painfully over used. read more

Zero Stars! Ordered delivery. Basil chicken, no basil and no flavor at all. Chicken was the worst part do the leg all bones

I brought my sister's family here when they were visiting from Atlanta. Everyone loved their food, my nephew used to live in China and he loved the dry pot he ordered. This place has the best Chinese food!! read more

Amazing food and service. Super good value for the amount of food you get! High quality all around. Highly recommend.

Everything was good. We had double cooked pork, orange chicken, dumplings, chicken fried rice and egg drop soup. Everyone was pleased with their meal. The service was excellent too. read more

Good food and decor! You should try it before they are found and jammed in spring weather.

Looks like they were only closed temporarily, as restaurants that do deliveries sometimes shut them down because their dine-in gets too busy. Yay! read more
