    The chicken mei fun is disgusting, tastes like pure onions and the crab rangoon has little to no filling. General Tso's is terrible at best... Oh, and don't order online because even if you add a tip they will write an additional tip on the receipt, cover it, and when you sign run for their car. Enjoy your $8 tip, you thieves.

    I typically order carry out and have never had a complaint. The food is always ready when they say it will be, and the lunch-sized portions are huge and only cost ~$5. You get either the white rice or pork-fried rice with your lunch entree and an egg roll. I get pretty picky about my Chinese chicken, and sometimes that over-chewiness throws me off, but I've yet to encounter that at Empire Szechuan. Probably their big calling to people in the area is the buffet option, which I've tried once and I was surprisingly pleased with. Everything stayed stock while I was there and they had a pretty big variety given at how the space is on the small side. Definitely my favorite Chinese place in Lansing.

    Being a vegetarian, it's difficult finding Chinese restaurants willing to tailor menu options for takeout or delivery. Recently, I was CRAVING sweet and sour chicken but not one restaurant would let me order sweet n sour tofu (it tastes way better than it sounds) except this place. Even though every Chinese restaurant I called had tofu in their menu, ONLY this place said they'd fry tofu and put sweet n sour on the side. Now, I ONLY order from here and haven't been disappointed once... Well one time they forgot my chopsticks :(

    As a customer who frequents this Chinese buffet I'm often disappointed with their food and atmosphere. The only chance I have to go to the buffet is after 2:00 and by then they stop replenishing the food until 3:30. God help you if you walk in at 3:15 to try and catch the lunch special before it ends. You'll be greeted by a lousy display of food, half of which isn't even there. The atmosphere of this establishment is empty and isolating. There's no ambient noise other than the hum of the buffet heater. It's the perfect place to study if you like psychotically quiet environments. I often hate myself after leaving this restaurant.

    I don't live in Lansing, and was only in the area for an event at Lansing Center just a few blocks away. It's usually pretty difficult fort to eat out because I'm vegetarian, but my partner and I had hopes that a Chinese restaurant would have something we could eat! Man, am I glad we stopped in here. On our first visit, we both order General Tso's Tofu and an order of Spring Rolls. I've definitely had better Spring Rolls (these were much too hot to eat when they came out, and were a greasy), and I was seriously surprised by the tofu. I was expecting veggies and tofu with tons of sauce, but what I got was a huge plate of large fried tofu cubes covered in General Tsa's sauce with a few pieces of broccoli on the side and a bowl of rice. Whoa, looks hearty. I tackled to tofu mountain fully expecting to be disappointed, but I was so very wrong. The tofu was cooked/fried/magically summoned to perfection with just enough sauce. It was so good, Yelp. So good! And much too much food for one person, but I tried to eat it all anyway. Nope. Still had tons of leftovers after stuffing myself silly. On our second visit, we ordered the same thing, but this time with only one order of tofu. They were pretty busy this time, and were trying to convince people to get the buffet. It hadn't been open when we'd come before because it was too late in the day, but I glanced it over. The assortment was pretty good, but I wasn't interested; I knew what I wanted. The tofu was just as good as the last time, and the spring rolls were mostly the same, just not as hot. The service was alright, though nothing to write home about. The staff is Chinese, and doesn't speak the most fluent English, but I never had a problem ordering anything. Most of the other customer's seemed pretty pleased with their meals as well. I highly recommend Empire Szechuan, and I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area!

    The decor is your standard inexpensive Chinese buffet, clean and basic. I came during lunch with the intention of ordering from the menu. At noon during the week they were packed, every seat taken and a few people giving up on waiting on tables and taking a to go box up to the buffet. As they were so busy, they were not taking orders. I am not a fan of buffets, but I was already there and had limited time. I'm giving a higher rating because it was probably the best buffet I've had. Since the restaurant was so busy, the turn over for the food was quick so dishes were not sitting on the buffet. The food itself was standard-good. My only major issue was that I ordered hot tea and despite being in a pot, was luke warm.

    This is no frills "Americanized" Chinese fare and the quality always meets or exceeds expectations. Their lunch buffet is an amazing bargain in the area, but come hungry! This is not the place to go for a business lunch but if you want great food at a terrific price don't count Empire Szechuan out!

    Dad and I went back again after several months of dining elsewhere. We found all the dishes were cooked through and nothing was cold or undercooked. The ladies who work there remembered us, one asked after my dad's health, which was nice of her, as he has lost weight. Attentive service, hot food, filling. They're back on my list!

    Pretty decent food. Cheap buffet weekdays. Food prepared quickly for pickup during all times. The best Chinese food I've had in Lansing.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
