China Tong

Chinatong is a good choice for quick lunch. Their noodles soup are really good. My favorite are roast duck noodles, whistle noodles and Jingdu Beef noodles. The rice bowl are also good. Swiss beef, fried chicken leg, and pork hocks are good choices. And the Sichuan dishes here are very authentic. If you like spicy food, you should definitely try Boiled Fish and Chili Pepper Chicken.

This was the absolute worst Chinese food I have ever eaten, and the worst customer service I have ever experienced.
I ordered two dinner entrees, as well as a side of crab cheese. The egg rolls that came with the meal were soggy, the crab rangoons were hard and old, and both entrees tasted stale and disgusting.
When we got home, my boyfriend and I were so dissatisfied with the food that we didn’t want to eat it. We called china tong and told them the dilemma, and they refused to believe their food was bad. I told them I would drive all the way back there to show them the food and to see if we could get fresh food made or even just a refund so we could go somewhere else for better food. They refused every offer, insisting that they knew our food was good. The woman hung up the phone and didn’t take another call from either of our phone numbers.
I went in the next day to try to talk to the owner, who also said he would not refund us or make us a new meal, even though we did not eat what they made us the night before.
Do not venture out and try this place like we did. It was horrible and I would never recommend it to anyone. Peking or Rice Kitchen are much better places very close by.

I ended up throwing away my beef phở. The noodles and everything looked great except the meet. The beef slices, which are supposed to be thin and cooked by the broth, were thick and dis colored — they looked like they were liver with the shine on them. It also did not smell right… that was the first thing that threw me off. Then I found these chunks of mystery meat — I think it may be tongue? WHAT! So gross. Do not eat here.

Great traditional food as I never taste in Lansing. Their house special FeiTeng fish is extremely fantastic，you can smell it before you start eating and the fish is really fresh it melts in your month

Awful. I got the sesame chicken dinner. The chicken pieces were some of the fattiest I’ve seen, super chewy, with no flavor whatsoever. The sauce had no flavor. The rice was okay but it was rice. They ran out of egg rolls somehow even though it looks like the place is always dead, so they gave me crab ragoons instead which were alright.
You would think, being the only customer there, that they would appreciate your business and be pleasant, but they were rude as well.

horrible food, extremely overpriced! order the food and you can see how disgusting and unsanitary their kitchen is. portions small too.

China tong is a very bad. the food is dirty and bad. The service is also very bad. I order a roast duck by phone and want it send to engineering building in MSU campus. They deliver to my home. My roommates signed for me and send it to me. The food is very bad. The duck looks very dirty and the rice tasted like made 2days ago. I make a phone call to ask return. The people who answer the phone is very rude and refuse to return. So I will not go to that restaurant anymore. I just leave all of them to trash bin. That’s the right place where the food they made should go.

The roast duck there is my favorite! It is juicy, and super delicious! Me and my boyfriend love China Tong sooo much

The inside of this place looks like someone set it up in an hour. Not impressed. I ordered 2 things, the crab rangoon, and a spicy chicken dish with brown rice. It came to $ 13.00 for the 2 which is pricey compared to other places around the area. Also, pricey for how terrible the décor inside is. Now to the food. The chicken is rubber and hard to eat/​chew. Not quality at all. I have been around, so I know they order their chicken by the bag in a slosh mix that they deep fry every time someone orders a chicken dish. Not cool. They need a lot of work. They are kept afloat by all of the international students in the area, however, not even low-​standard college students could make an exception to eat this more than once.

OMG the crawfish and boiled fish is soooo awesome!!! such a great amount for the price. Made my day! =D If you are looking for Americanized Chinese food, not the place for you. But if you like authentic spicy Sichuan food, this place is the best in East Lansing! Interior setup could be improved much more. Well doesn’t bother me much.
Edited: don’t order the Vietnamese food here their phở really pisses me off. I could throw noodles in soup and it would still taste better than whatever that is they made… lol

Best noodle soup in Lansing! Please forget the orange chicken kinda things and randomly choose something from either Cantonese rice bowl or noodle soups.
BTW, their homemade chili oil smells super good, you should definitely ask for some sample and add to your noodle soup if you like spicy food.

ordered from here once and they were good. once thwy thought theyhad me hooked they got bland and not fresh and forgot stuff in my meal. DONT WITH THEM. also the driver was rude and didnt even acknowledge me… try charlie kangs insteas

This is a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant serving a very interesting niche — Cantonese food. Like all the other Chinese restaurants in the area, China Tong has all the standard Americanized Chinese dishes that people love to discuss in reviews. However, I tend to avoid such dishes and head straight to the part of the menu I don’t understand.
So far, I have tried their noodle soups, and I’ve been satisfied. The broths have a lot of flavor and are stuffed with noodles. Unfortunately, the meat can be quite fatty, and the vegetables are sometimes too scarce. Next time I go back, I’ll make sure to ask for extra vegetables.
The atmosphere of this place is limited in aesthetic appeal, but it serves its purpose of providing a comfortable place to sit while either eating or waiting for your food.

My husband were excited to try this new restaurant in town because we had seen an article talking about it in Capital Gains. The article mentions that it was unique because it featured authentic Cantonese food.
We ordered takeout and unfortunately it was the worst we’ve ever had. My husband got the sesame chicken and I got Sweet & Sour Chicken. The meat was dry, had no flavor, basically no sauce, and there were no vegetables. It seems they gave extra rice to make up for the lack of vegetables.
I am giving it 2 stars mostly because it’s possible we didin’t order something that’s their specialty, but we wouldn’t go back.

This is a newly open Cantonese restaurant in town. We gave it a try. I ordered the chicken rice box and the chicken tasted very nice and juicy. My friends ordered the roasted duck rice box, the duck was tender and full of flavor, juicy for sure. However, the ingredients they used in the Singapore fried rice noodle were probably not fresh. We tasted bleach-​like smell in the chickens and shrimp though the noodles taste fine. I will probably come back for their rice meal options. I saw a lot of customers order a noodle soup… probably will try that as well.
