We have come to Charlie Kang’s many times within the past year and the food, service, and atmosphere has been nothing but phenomenal. This is our favorite restaurant on Grand River and I could not recommend it enough! During our past visit, our waiter Danny was so friendly and a great server.
My girlfriend ordered the Chinese chicken broccoli stir fry and not only did it smell horrible but it was inedible. Three small pieces of chicken in it and a pound of soggy tasteless green veggies. I physically could not swallow the piece she gave me to try. My orange chicken also had the wrong sauce. Unreal that I paid $27 for our order tonight and only one meal was edible.
The food is delicious, and it comes in good portions. The atmosphere of the restaurant is pleasant and the staff are nice. I gave it 4 stars because there can be long wait times sometimes.
This is my go-to place to eat in the area. I am used to a lot of good dining back home in New England and East Lansing/MI has a dearth of good, local restaurants. Charlie Kang’s is the exception - it is great food at decent prices. My go to is Sesame chicken, but also have tried some of one of their noodle dishes with black bean sauce which was also extremely good (much better than I expected). I cannot recommend this restaurant any more highly.
Absolutely one of the best restaurants in east Lansing, I recommend it to everyone. Food is phenomenal and staff is always so kind and friendly. Also the portions are amazing especially for the price, I almost always have leftovers and they are just as good the next day. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough I go there regularly and have never had a poor experience
I love you Charlie Kangs!! My girlfriend and I frequent this restaurant and we've had nothing but great experiences. Good (and fast) service, decent prices, and amazing food. I like the steamed dumplings, chow fun noodles, japchae -- and their tofu dishes never disappoint. Great for dining in and takeout.
Charlie Kang’s was kind enough to get us a same day reservation for a party of six during prime dinner hours. Service was incredible, as was the food! Really excellent fried rice and sweet and sour chicken!
I had an excellent dining experience and a mediocre takeout experience. For the dining experience, I ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp. The portion size was huge and the taste was delicious. Plenty of peanuts and the sauce was also very good. I ordered the Crab Butterfly appetizer and it was delicious. The Egg rolls were also good. My friends ordered the Kung Pao with chicken and the Sesame Chicken. Both of their portion sizes were large and they both liked their meal. Meals was served hot and we only had to wait about 10 minutes for our meals. On my way back to Grand Rapids, I ordered the Sweet N Sour Shrimp and Mongolian Beef. The portion sizes weren't as large and they were not nearly as good as the previous nights. Overall, I would give the dining experience a 5 and the takeout a 3. It's better to eat at the restaurant than to order takeout.
Best service from a sever that I've had in a while. The young gentleman was more than accommodating, super attentive, and great with my kids! My oldest even gave him a 5 buck tip from his own pocket! That was a first... Aside from that, our food was very good, hot and sour soup is always a favorite. After the renovation it seems smaller so you may have to wait for a table but it is clean and well lit. Nice job and we will be back to this East Lansing classic soon!
Food was delicious! Great portions, high quality meat and veggies. We got 7 or 8 dishes to share. Some were gluten free and vegetarian for my daughter who has celiac disease. They were very helpful on the phone with ordering and accommodating safe, gluten free food. Amazing! We are so excited and will definitely eat here again soon!
