Ordered for the first time using door dash. I was very pleased to see they offered egg foo young, as I have noticed many Chinese restaurants around here do not. We went with the chicken egg foo young and it was the favorite out of all the entrees. When it came to the fried rice, beef lo mein and egg roll, we were left dissatisfied. While lacking in flavor, they all had a weird distinct taste that we couldn't put our finger on. I can't say we will be back anytime soon. read more

The best Asian restaurant in town. You can watch them prepare your food, especially making hot-sour soup.

Easily the best in Lansing or even Grand Rapids. Their chinese menu is a hidden gem with a traditional version of the American favorites. Food tastes freakin amazing, plus they are very quick too. You'll thank me. Ps: clean and quiet seating in the mid-sized dining area :) read more

The Wok and Roll was very good for lunch and dinner with a lot of selections and large portions. We would definitely go back.

No one greeted me when I entered the restaurant. There was a cook in the kitchen preparing a takeout meal. He saw me and pulled the short curtain down. I could still see what he was doing. I kid you not, he was scoping the noodles with his bare hands into the takeout container. I walked out! read more

The employees are always nice. I've ate here multiple times with no problems. Unfortunately I won't return after this. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and my chicken had a large bug in it. read more

Two words... Hidden Gem! Wow! We ordered carry out from Wok & Roll on a whim and were super impressed with our first visit! The chicken egg rolls were huge and delicious, and the portions of our entrees were filling. I ordered Mongolian beef and normally when I see that little red chili pepper next to the name of the dish, I'm disappointed that it isn't at all spicy when I take my first bite. Not this time! The Mongolian beef was making my nose run! I also enjoyed the fried rice - it was loaded with vegetables and scrambled egg, and it was not dry like some Chinese carry out is. My significant other ordered the Double Delight and said it had great flavor and was some of the best Chinese carry out he has had in a while. We both thought the sauce flavors and quality of ingredients were above average, and we are looking forward to our next visit to see how consistent their dishes are. I round down for half numbers but our experience tonight was worth a solid 4.5 stars! read more

We order take out from here regularly, and it's always good. Tonight it was amazingly delicious! We got Generals chicken, beef and broccoli, egg rolls and crab Rangoon. Great portion sizes and everything is always hot. We always get General's chicken but today it just tasted better than usual. The egg rolls also tasted better. The crab Rangoon tasted the same, but still so very good. It was the first time we got beef and broccoli. The beef was very tender, tasted great and the sauce was very good. read more

If you're looking for truly authentic Chinese food, this is a must. Definitely get the roast pork with tofu bow ties! It is SO good. This is a very authentic dish, something that my mom would make at home for our family. The mapo tofu is also really good. The tofu is a perfect softness, and it is spiced to perfection. It is not overwhelmingly spicy and incredibly savory. You can always ask for more rice, which is very nice because the portions are huge, and you will surely have left overs! I would say one dish can easily feed two people. The dishes are reasonably price for their portions. They run between $9-15. Definitely check this place out! read more

Stopped in for the first time this evening hoping to find a good spot to start ordering from. May have found one. Came in around 7pm. Few people in the store. Kind cashier gave me some time to review the menu while she attended to the other customers in the store. I asked her a couple of questions about how some items were prepared and decided on the chicken and broccoli. She said it'd ready in five minutes and sure enough she was bringing out my order. The chicken (white meat) and broccoli were cooked well and was well seasoned and not overly sauced. The quart size was served with a pint of white rice and was well priced. Would definitely order it again. read more

Wok & Roll - Chinese Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

After reading all the funny reviews on this place on how mean the lady at the front is, I had to come to this place to try it out. Mostly because I knew if people thought the Asian lady at the front cashier was mean, that means its legit. I was right. Its looks like a hole in the wall joint in a small strip mall next to the gas station. When I walked in only 3 people were eating inside. I walked up to the counter and the menu indeed was in Chinese. I ignored the other "regular" menu since it was the generic asian-american items. I asked for the thousand year old egg and tofu but they were out of the eggs so I went with the Ma Po Tofu and the tomato egg soup. Ma Po Tofu is a spicy dish with soft tofu and minced pork. The tomato egg soup is a light clear broth with of course, eggs and tomatoes. The tofu was 8.99 and the soup was 6.99. both reasonably priced. I also purchased a chrysanthemum tea for $1.10. Altogether came out to about $18. It was alot of food. I ate this meal twice and even heated up it was delicious. This is easily the best Ma Po tofu I have ever had. Most of the places make it generic with diced carrots and peas. Wok & Roll's tofu was spicy and very appetizing with rice. All in all, I am so glad I found this place. The lady was nice enough, its what you expect at authentic Chinese restaurants. So ,my advice for those that cant hack it trying to order here, lighten up or go to Panda Express for your Chinese food fix. read more

Food is disgusting, low quality, cheap ingredients. Ordered beef fried rice and sweet sour chicken. Rice was dry, less than 3 pieces of meat. Chicken was dry and sauce tasted like ketchup. Never going back again. read more

Food is awesome but the restaurant is tiny. Service is fair because this is more like fast food restaurant. Cash only so not that convenient. read more

I've opted for pick up a few times as I work nearby. The customer service and promptness has always been great. The food isn't particularly the best Asian take out I've ever had, but it's not bad by any means. If you're in the mood for Asian food this is a good option. It looks like there are many options, which I have yet to try, but based on other great reviews I'm assuming they're promising. Please note there isn't a menu online but staff is always helpful when it comes to recommending something over the phone. read more

Close to home so decided to try it for lunch today. Called in my order and the lady was nice enough. It was ready when I arrived 20min later. Kung Pao shrimp lunch special is very tasty and the best thing I ordered. Good amount of diced veggies and flavor was spot on. Not too spicy, but I usually add my own chili flakes anyway. I ordered hot and sour soup with it, and that was very bland. Mostly sour without much other seasoning. Wouldn't order that again. I also ordered the Moo Shu chicken based in the other reviews. This was pretty bad. It was too salty and soggy. Definitely no need for the hoisin. It was 95% cabbage with bits of carrots and onion. I'm used to more al dente veggies, less salt, less liquid, and more variety of veggies like mushrooms and bamboo. Big dinner portion, but I'll need to modify it to make it edible. Also, they do not give you true moo shu pancakes. They give you spring roll wrappers, which are a cheap substitution. I think their standard dishes are probably fine but it is trial and error. Will still give them another shot. read more

Horrible service! Extremely impatient the lady at the desk. 0 start for this store. If you want to get angry and be treated badly behavior, go there. read more

Excellent fast-food Chinese. Yes, the servers are rude--that's a cultural thing. They gave me a menu in Chinese, and one in Korean (I was confused) but then I got one in English. There was a pitcher of water on the table for drinking. The food was excellent, though the rice was a little cold. Overall exactly what I wanted: cheap, quick, hot, and delicious. read more

Over the year this place has become the go-to place for my wife and I when we want good Chinese food. Order off their Chinese menu (which has English translations) the portion is huge and delicious. They also have seasonal dishes on the whiteboard above the water cooler. The owners are "friendlier" if you have dark hair and speaks Mandarin, but they are generally good to all their customers. They changed to cash-only last year, which make it a little less convenient, but understandable. As a small family business, I guess they didn't want credit card companies taking all their profit. After three years, still a great place to eat! read more

To start, I'm rating this a 4 because I knew what I was getting into. This restaurant is run by immigrants for immigrants and international students. They welcome your money, not you. They are there to support Chinese students and immigrants. Don't come here if you think Chinese food is what you're ordering at Rice Kitchen. Do not order off the English Menu. Also, they do have menus in Korean, which helped me be able to order, not sure if that would help anyone else, but it is an option. If you're going to eat in the restaurant (which is not big, let the international kids eat there, they have KTV and Chinese soaps playing on the tv for them), the owners charge you a couple bucks extra for rice. If you take your food to go, it doesn't cost anything extra. All that being said, the food is delicious. 10/10 would recommend. The service is what you would expect in this sort of environment, however. The food is out quick, which is for the best given there are only two chairs in a corner as the "waiting area." So don't be intimidated to come here, just take everything with a grain of salt. Remember though kids, this place is cash only. read more

I've been here twice, and both time have been fantastic! I just ordered off their lunch menu, and got a big bowl of fried rice, hunan shrimp and a can of pop for $5. Great deal! The shrimp is cooked perfectly and the veggies taste so fresh. Last time we went I got Mu Shu Vegetables- and they were the best I'd ever had. Suuuuuper thin wraps and so good. It may seem like Wok & Roll is far from campus, but really it is a straight shot up Hagadorn. I could get there in just over 5 minutes from my office. Plus the lady at the counter was so friendly & nice! read more

Don't ever try korean Chinese dishes. Such as tang soo yuk or ja Jang myun. Waste money. read more

I've eaten here enough times to give a fair rating and I've decided they deserve a 4 in my book. I wouldn't say this is the best Chinese food I've ever had but I will say that it's not swimming in grease like a lot of Americanized Chinese food is. A lot of Chinese food tastes the same to me, with certain variations here and there and Wok and Roll has food that tastes like it could have been made at any number of other Chinese food places I've been to in the U.S. But they are consistent and the food is always hot, fresh, and a lot healthier than I've had at many other places, thanks to that missing pool of grease. It's tasty and their portions are generous. It took the woman who takes the orders awhile to warm up to us but she knows our faces now and she's started smiling at us. In the early days we barely got a grunt. The last time we went in she forgot to include my egg roll in the takeout bag and when I called she had realized her error and only rang in the amount of the bill, rather than including the tip I left, which was a bit more than the cost of the egg roll. I've tried several other Chinese food restaurants in this area and this is my favorite. Their prices are reasonable and the place always smells like Chinese five spice when I walk in. I love that stuff! read more

Pro. its the authentic Jiangsu Cuisine you can hardly find in the entire USA. reasonably priced cons horrible service. the only reason I took points off is because the boss is not friendly at all. She kinda freak out all customers. another points off for environment. read more

I like their Wuxi ribs, yinyugeng, and Yangzhou tofu. I order them all the time. One time I tried their eggplant dish. It was good, too. The lady owner is nice to me all the time. I never have any problems with her. Another reason I like their food is that I don't feel thirsty after eating there. Most Chinese restaurants make me feel very thirsty after. The restaurant only has few tables. It's good to have dinner there with few friends. read more

Racist restaurant. I am not asian, and they refused to serve me a dish off the Chinese menu claiming they had no such dish and directing me to the English "American" menu. I then confirmed that the dish is indeed on their Chinese menu. It was not a miscommunication, I clarified, "beef noodle soup" is not difficult to understand. I planned to be a regular, but now I will not return. Unless you enjoy being looked down on and belittled for not being Asian, avoid this place. read more

Almost 3 years later this place still is my favorite, they got best, fresh and healthy food. Most important reason for me to choose here is that they treat me as family, they actually ask me what do I like to eat and try their best to cook it out. Their food made me miss my country and my family a lot. Best place in town, hope you all enjoy this amazing Chinese restaurant. read more

Definitely my most favorite Chinese restaurant in town.

If you're looking for standard Asian take out, this is the place to go. Nothing to complain about in regards to the food, but it's nothing out of this world either. I'd recommend the General Tso's or orange chicken. read more

First time visit for us and it is probably our last. 1. The place is set up like a "TO-GO" joint so we ordered at the walk-up counter only to discover that they do wait on tables. Why didn't she tell us that when she asked if it was to go? 2. The lady was very, very UN-friendly. Precisely why we don't eat at their competitor to the west. 3. No fountain drinks. 4. Then, the final snub: At first I thought I was imagining this but as the tables filled up, it was very obvious. Every table occupied by Asian-looking customers was served with individual ceramic bowls/plates and large ceramic bowls for the rice and the main dish. Our meal was shoved in front of us with the rice on a paper plate and the main dish in a ceramic bowl. No separate bowls or plates to serve our portions. I noticed one other American-Caucasian-looking fellow and his soup was served in a to-go container. Oh, we also were given plastic to-go forks (the extreme cheap-o type while the Asians were supplied with cutlery (or sticks). 5. Oh.............the food was fine although my Tso chicken was spicier than I've ever eaten (I still enjoyed it). 6. I'm going to stick with the Thai joint on Oakland. Banzai people! read more

Their food is so good and fresh. My favorite is their pork with bean curd. They use pork belly without skins which reduces unwanted oil and smell of pork. I am glad to hear that they have accepted card since last year. Their Chinese bbq rib is a kick, so juicy and yummy! The owner lady is so nice, she gives me some special food they make that's not on the menu very often. read more

This place still open??? After I was told by a worker that they use leftover customer dishes' for the next customer, that was it for me! I mean seriously, I understand PORK BELLY is expensive, but how are you going to put that back in the wok and add a little more sauce and serve it out again??? REALLY???? read more

Really like this place. To me, it seems a bit expensive for Chinese food, but the portions are HUGE! We usually order the General Tso's chicken (it is awesome), a couple eggrolls, and it's more than enough food for two people. I like the fried rice, but the steamed rice is good and sticky. They're always friendly and prompt. It's by far my favorite Chinese takeout place in the East Lansing area. read more

I just had the worst food I've ever had in a restaurant at Wok & Roll. The broccoli (in my steamed chicken & broccoli dish, so there was a lot of it) was literally rotten. I pointed it out to the woman who waited on me and she just shrugged her shoulders and said sometimes the broccoli is fresh, sometimes not. This was my first time here, and I will not be back. read more

This restaurant is so good. It impressed me. One of the best Chinese food restaurant to go.

I know it sounds silly, but I rate a chinese food place by their wonton soup. A simple dish, but usually how that goes is indicative as to the rest of the place. Honestly, their wonton soup was awful; old tasting filling in the wontons (what I call garbage tasting wontons) and the the little crisps tasted like old grease. A real turn off - sad, as it's only about 5 blocks from my house. This was about three years ago and now after reading the many favorable reviews, maybe it's time to check it out again. Thanks, yelp and reviewers! read more

As a Chinese. I could have very traditional Chinese food here. Some of the dishes are brilliant and hook my memory back home. BUT a female boss(老板娘) who never smiled. Unreasonable charged on the tips(什么时候中国人收小费呀) and poor service if you want to eat there. Overall, the food is good, and it surely can redeem its service. Recommended for all( take away please ) read more

It's traditional southern China restaurant. They have two kinds of menus, one in English and one in Chinese. Obviously, the dishes on menu are totally different. If you want to try real Chinese food, just look what's on other customers table and give it a try! This review is based on the menu in Chinese. The way they cook focus on showing the freshness and the original taste of food. So, their dishes are not spicy or salty, but light and fresh. I'd recommend their chicken broth if you like authentic Chinese food that they only serve limited quantities (around 15-20). There are only chicken and mushrooms in the broth. But you can tell how delicious the soup is. In addition, the Yangzhou tofu is always my favorite! You would like it if you think Mapo tofu is too spicy and oily. read more
