Asian Gourmet

Despite a slew of negative recent reviews, I decided to give Asian Gourmet a shot. Upon entering it was obvious that this restaurant was an old school, traditional Americanized Chinese restaurant that was setup primarily for takeout. The menu was fairly extensive with fair pricing for today’s world. Some of the staff could use a bit of training in conversation with Americans as the girl taking my order was a bit short, but I think that was more of a cultural difference than her trying to be mean. My food was ready after a relatively short wait and I opted to sit at one of their few tables. I was generally satisfied with my food. The fried rice was good and the orange chicken was decent but could have had a bit better sauce. I really enjoyed my egg roll and found the crab rangoons to be bigger than what most Chinese restaurants have in the area. In the end, I felt like I had a satisfying meal at a fair price. Keep in mind that they do not really have a way to service drinks, so plan ahead if you want something to drink.

Our family has ordered from Asian Gourmet several times, sometimes for 6-8 people, and the staff consistently gets the orders correct. They are always nice when we pick up, and have offered to help carry larger orders to the car. There are many menu options to choose from and the food is always good. The place is lot much to look at, but this is not a sit-down restaurant.

Egg roll was good. Beef fried rice was disappointing. Pretty bland and boring…barely any beef, no vegetables or anything really. Order was ready very quickly and prices were cheap.

Softest rice I’ve ever had so very delicious and perfect soups. Comforting food and not harsh. Just what I needed. And all the staff are very kind. I will be coming back soon. If you are in Lansing you have to stop by, seriously.

Grease, grease and more grease. This order was inedible. I'm sorry, I wanted to post positive reviews but it was the worst food I have ever ordered. I thought of taking it back and dare them to eat it. No human should actually be exposed to that much grease. It was like it was cooked it total grease and they added a ladel of grease on top of the food after packing. Never in my life have I experienced such nasty food.

The crab rangoons were overcooked, and the filling was barely there from being overcooked; the beef lo mein hardly had any meat and the portion size was very small; worker was very rude, and even though app said to pick up my food (that it was ready) it was not ready and I had to wait an additional 10 minutes on top of the 40 minute wait

Very good Chinese food. Unknowingly ordered food after they closed (Yelp had the wrong hours), and they were so accommodating and friendly. I would 100% recommend for service. As for food, it was just as great! The veggie lo mein and shrimp sweet and sour were great options. I will definitely try again when I’m back in town. Such a great customer service and reasonable prices!

This was a delivery order so all I can assess is the food and the delivery… Both way above expectation.

Great takeout! Me and my friends always choose Asian Gourmet when we are together and feel like ordering!

We ordered the large portion so we would have left overs..one dish had only 5 tiny pieces of pork and the rest was big chunks of onion we asked for a substitute for the green peppers and was charged 3$ for a few snow peas. Totally rip off . The other dish had barely enough chicken for me to get full . Ask for an itemized receipt because the lady who owns this place just adds on extra crazy prices. Food was below average. Won't be going back.

It's a takeout/delivery restaurant, so ambiance is irrelevant. The food is good and the service is great!

Fresh, authentic Chinese. Moo Shu was some of the best I've had in a while. Will definitely go back.

Chicken wings had lots of flavor and were crispy, rice was decent. Bean curd in brown sauce had no flavor and was too soft, deep fried tastes much better. Vegetables were cooked perfectly. Egg roll was good but a bit too greasy. Not bad for take out. A million times better than Panda Express. Reasonable prices. Overall, other than the mushy tofu, highly recommend.

The wait was over an hour, even though we had ordered on line. They still were taking walk in orders, when clearly it was overwhelming. But it was Christmas Day and the food was good. Favorite was Gen Tso chicken, steamed dumplings, bbq strips, and house special lo mean. Fidnt care for Hunan chicken, beef n broccoli, or egg rolls. I'd like to try again when it's not a holiday. ​

Asian Gourmet is the seriously underrated underdog! Although it's not the most "authentic" Chinese foods, I think they serve the Lansing area well with its Americanized Chinese cuisine. I have had delivery twice and the quoted time was accurate, even in snowy weather! It's best to call directly to the restaurant to place the order versus ordering the money-grubbing GrubHub DoorDash or Eat24. Plus you'll avoid the corporate upcharges and can tip the staff directly! Ordered the lunch specials: Mongolian beef, shrimp in lobster sauce, General Tso's chicken, crab rangoon, and chicken wings. Highly recommend the crab rangoons! I thought the chicken wings needed more time to cook, so I threw it in the toaster oven for another 5-10 minutes and it was good to go. Regular entrees such as beef, shrimp, chicken gets the job done, but it was not impressively crazy flavorful-- umami for sure. I am not a fan of their yellow-colored fried rice, it's typically on the dry side. Overall for a cheap meal under $7, it's super cheap and filling. It is basically two meals for me. Will be back for more delivery on a cold day!

This place appears to be under new management. The food and service is less than desirable. Lady running the counter is rude. Squid ordered was undercooked. The sweet and sour shrimp and shrimp fried rice was bland - no flavor. I will not be back. Previous owners were genuinely nice people and took care of their customers. Previously I was a customer for over 10 years.

I had the pleasure of dining at Asian Gourmet last evening. In town for a conference, I was craving some good authentic Chinese food and this was the perfect place. Not a large place but I decided to dine in and witnessed a great vibe and dozens of people getting take out. My entree was hot , fresh and delicious. The staff was welcoming, nice and had great service. The portions were generous and I had enough to take back to the hotel for the following day. They kept checking on me to make sure that everything was fine. I would recommend Asian Gourmet in a heartbeat.

I do not each much Chinese because I try to limit my sodium intake. But over the weekend, I tried Asian Gourmet, and it was good Chinese food. I gave this place 4/5 stars because if a place claims to be gourmet, there had better be something unique about the food. Since I do not eat Chinese food much at all, I walked in on a Sunday afternoon around 2:30 and ordered a carryout dish of vegetable lo mein. It took about 8-10 minutes before it was ready. Once I made it back home, I ate the lo mein. The lo mein was good because everything was balanced: vegetables seemed fresh because they had that crunch; noodles were not dry or overcooked; and the sauce was savory with a slight sweetness. But as stated earlier, there was nothing unique to say this was gourmet. Although this was my first and probably sole visit here, I do recommend this place if you're a regular for Chinese take out.

My favorite chinese takeout place in Lansing. They never miss- they're quick with pickup or delivery and everything we've had has been great (which during the lockdown, was admittedly a lot) - also they're super sweet. We've had some confusion with an order once and they gave us a ton of fortune cookies as an apology (which was completely not needed, but so sweet!)

Egg Foo young was good, decent sized shrimp in it. The fried rice is very bland. The establishment reminds me of New York (east coast) style Chinese food. While I'm not a fan I can understand why people here like it. Better than some of the other options. However, I rather just go without Chinese whenever I'm here vs sacrifice with this.

Dumplings, noodles, rice, and chicken! Such a good order for a Sunday spent inside. I had this food ordered for delivery and it was delivered so quickly. I am such a sucker for dumplings and these were not a disappointment. If you're looking for some fast and reliable Asian cuisine, I recommend.

ZERO STARS!!!! This place was a staple for many years in the greater Lansing area. It was run by such a sweet family. The wife handled the register & taking orders, the husband prepared the food and their children assisted at the front wherever needed. They were customer friendly/focused and provided quality food. We frequented here often for over a decade. We moved recently to a different state. During a recent visit, the staff was completely different. When asked was it under new management, one of the workers (woman) rudely said, "NO!" Clearly, it's under new management & ownership. NOTHING TASTED THE SAME as the flavors we were accustomed to tasting. In fact (not stretching) - it was FLAVORLESS! Did not taste like Chinese food at all. We threw everything away. It was that bad. We will never return. I'd predict they'll be closing this business sooner rather than later unless a drastic change happens like the previous owners return with their recipes & staff.

Doesn't look like much from the street, no inside seating still, but turned out to be great carry out. We got the triple treat, with lo mein. Lots of meat, very good. The spring rolls were great, the egg roll was a bit dry. Also had the chicken curry dish, really good take on curry. Will go again

It's not your classy takeout Chinese restaurant, it's not going to knock your socks off with that esquite smack your mama flavor, but if you find Chinese food to be a comfort food, then this spot hits the spot, food is responsibly priced and well prepared and never disappoints. It's been my go to for years.

Yummy, yummy food served quick! Good, authentic Chinese cuisine. They even go the extra mile and carry food to the car.

Asian Gourmet is always fresh and delicious. Vegetarian and vegan friends love it too.

Ordered take out from here for the first time last night and it was BOMB. I highly recommend if you are looking for quality Americanized Chinese food. Got the orange chicken and general tso combos. The egg rolls are not my favorite in town but I'm still thinking about the crab rangoons a day later! So good!! I'm very particular about chicken at Chinese food places but theirs seemed high quality and it was even good reheated for leftovers.

I ordered delivery last night and overall it was ok. One highlight is they deliver and they were still open at 11pm. I ordered the eggplant and sweet and sour shrimp. The eggplant was cooked well, but lacked flavor. The sweet and sour shrimp was a little oily, but had great flavor. Also they cut the shrimp in half so essentially you only get like 3 shrimp.

5 out of 5 for the quality of food! The chicken stood out as the best you can get at an Asian restaurant around here as sometimes the quality is questionable at other places. I agree with other reviewers, the crag Rangoon is absolutely delicious! The atmosphere cloud be better, the place needs some TLC but that didn't stop my bf and I from chowing down right there and it is clean, just is missing character.

I've just moved to Lansing so had no idea where to find good food. Well, I lucked out on my first try. Asian Gourmet. They seem to use fresh ingredients, a great mix of seasonings and everything was great. I ordered steamed dumplings - perfect, springs rolls- light & crispy, and Shrimp PadThai - probably the best I've had. And it was all delivered ahead of the anticipated delivery time. I mean, I'd moved all day. I was hungry. It was a great meal and I know I'll order from Asian Gourmet again soon.

They have the BEST food and the staff are nice! I buy the chicken lo mein and crab ragoons alot!

My family and I LOVE this place!!! Been coming here for 3 years now and won't go anywhere else for Chinese food.

I've tried several Asian restaurants/take-out in Lansing and have not been impressed with much, that is, until we tried Asian Gourmet! The place is not anything special, but wow, the food was very good! Hot, fresh, fast. Not super greasy or heavy. Our order was ready in under 20 minutes too. Very fast! I ordered the Chicken Chow Fun. It had delicious flavor and the chicken was very good quality (I know the meat at many of these places can be suspect, or low quality, so this was a pleasant surprise). My husband ordered Shrimp Egg Foo Young and very much liked his dish as well. As other reviews mentioned- the Crab Rangoons are excellent! I liked the egg rolls a lot too. We will definitely be ordering from here again!

Got delivery tonight- always a pricey thing around here. That said they made it over faster than expected and the food was amazing. Tried new stuff: crispy duck (delicious sauce that has a kick to it soaked into the veggies), beef egg foo young and shrimp and chive dumplings that could go up against any dim sum I have tried in the best places I have had dim sum in CA. Last: spend over $20 and get a free pint of pork fried rice--- sooo good. Even had fresh bean sprouts.

This was a great stop! The customer service was fantastic, food was very hot, and left satisfied and full. Will come again.

Ordered the Steamed Shrimp Chives Dumplings for an appetizer and the Thai Cashew w Chicken for my entree. Both were excellent, delivery was timely, and prices were low.

You may question the food by the building, at least I did. Don't let that ruin your opinion! When you stroll up the the restaurant you see the unkept interior, especially compared to the retro coffee shop a door down. I definitely would not suggest eating there, but PICKUP. This is the best Chinese pickup in the area! My go-to meal is the standard egg drop soup (delish and large), sweet and sour chicken, and fried rice. Each item is better than the next. All extremely large portions that can be saved for days. Try it!

Friendly people. Would recommend to everyone. Love their customer service, especially their delivery drivers. I ordered my friend food and they were willing to come back to give it to him since he was running late. Love this place

Good food, had the Pad Thai. Employees and the woman who took my order were rude. I asked for some Curry and she told me NO with no explanation and just stared at me.

Just tried this considering its Christmas Eve...very fast delivery! Food was all correct and very warm. A little bland but good for Americanized Asian food. Crab ragoons are Amazing! I'll try again.

Been ordering food from here for about 2 years. I think it is consistently good. Maybe best of it's kind in area.

This is one of those places where everything on the menu is great! And they are incredibly fast. I order food to work and I swear it shows up in under ten minutes sometimes !

So this is my favorite for the most part in the Lansing area! They do a great job and are easy to get along with.

Rome wasn't built in a day, love takes time, but Chinese food delivery shouldn't take over an hour at lunchtime, especially when it's only a mile and a half away. I can forgive it once, but twice in a row? I think I'll find another place to satisfy my Kung Pao craving. (If only Jimmy John's delivered egg rolls and breaded deep fried chicken, coated in MSG-y goodness.)

love the fried chicken from here along with most everything else on the menu. service is superb food is alway hot and fresh i never have an issue at Asian gourmet

This is a good takeout place with dine in facility. Don't expect restaurant ambiance. Food is good only tried crispy chicken with jalapeños. Taste 4 stars Ambiance 3 stars Parking could be difficult during rush hours

We started ordering from this restaurant from work in the quest for some good food. When it got here, it was hot, and the egg rolls were crispy, and melt in your mouth delicious!! The entrees were bountiful and very flavorful. We now order from there every weekend, and our egg roll orders increase in number every order! Delivery is always fast and accurate every time! Highly, HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!

Honestly this is the best Chinese takeout place in Lansing. The menu is awesome, has lots of vegan options. My partner and I love dining in here it feels like an Asian version of bobs burgers. Staff is very inviting and friendly. I've never been disappointed. Try the scallion pancakes, they are crisped to perfection.

I have been going to Asian Gourmet for several years. The service is great for delivery, takeout, and dine in. The food is fresh, flavorful and well cooked. I would go there just for their dumplings .

Asian Gourmet is pretty decent. Love their lo mein and chicken chop suey. However their crab rangoons are not good and their dumplings are atrocious. The staff is always nice though and it's decent to good cheap food.

Ordered food for delivery - delivery was quick and my order was correct.... but was a fruit fly in my Pad Thai, right on top. I was completely disgusted and threw my food out.

Shrimp fried rice, egg rolls, and crab rangoons we're all very delicious! And delivery was very quick, highly ewd

food was good. delivery was on time. would order again. highly recommend if you want a good meal at a good price.

This has been the best delivery I've experienced here in Lansing. It was fast and hot and they spoke very good English!

This is the worst food I've ever eaten. Had to throw it away after one bite pretty sure it was microwaved. Never been served water in a dirty plastic cup either. Honestly I'd rather dumpster dive.

Egg rolls and sesame chicken are amazing!!!!!!!!! Highly recommended this place for anyone looking for good fast Chinese food

It very exciting to have a good Chinese place so nearby: the food is excellent with great variety, wonderful customer service whether you dine -in, carry out or have it delivered!
