One of the most authentic Chinese (cantonese style) restaurants in Michigan for sure. As a Cantonese person living in Lansing area, this is my go to place for a taste of home. Check out anything stir fried here, you will get a breath of the wok. Be prepared to see fish tanks with fresh ingredients, servers with heavy accent, and dishes meant to be shared. Enjoy! :) read more

I had a great experience at everyday authentic Chinese in landing. The food was really good & the service was great. I'd come back here for sure. This is a true Chinese place - it's pretty authentic. We got a bunch of different things from the menu but really loved the lo mein& the dumplings. The Peking duck and salt + pepper steak were good too. Service was really good. The food came out super quick & our waitress was nice and helpful. Ambiance was good, nothing standout but met the vibes. Overall I'd come back here read more

We had dinner here the other day. Most of the food was very good and tasted just right. However, 2 of the items were overly salted - the fried rice and the tofu dish. I also had an upset stomach right after the meal. It could have been just the combination of the dishes I ate. If I go back there again I'll have to remind them to ease off on the salt. read more

I've recently given reviews for Chinese cuisine restaurants that were new to me in the area. I take back half of what I said, Everyday is the best Chinese cuisine in the East Lansing/Okemos area! We ordered pick up and the service was quick and polite. Our meals were packaged well and everything tasted fresh! Don't expect leftovers like from other places that heap the food in to-go containers but do expect to enjoy every morsel! The restaurant was packed with people seemingly enjoying their meals. Can't wait to try it again, especially the duck! Pretty sure this is gonna be our "go-to"! read more

Several folks at the MSU music school recommended this place during our recent campus visit, and we were glad we checked it out! It's nothing fancy decor-wise, you're greeted by tanks of fish and lobster when you walk in. We were seated quickly. Service is brisk to the point that we felt a little rushed -- they are busy! That said, our order came out fairly quickly. Two of us shared a plate of Chinese broccoli with Chinese sausage, fresh and crunchy with a delicious sauce. Then we got a BBQ combo platter of duck and pork belly with white rice. The duck wasn't my favorite, to be honest, but the pork belly was really good with a nicely crispy skin. Servings were huge and we took enough food for another serving with us. Coming here with a group would be a great way to share and sample more dishes. Just be aware if you're hoping for a beer or a glass of wine -- Everyday doesn't have a liquor license. read more

Approved by Asian parents, so you know it's legit! My go to is always the Dry Hotpot. You have to pick 7 meats/veggies minimum, and it can get pricey, so it's recommended that you get it for the whole table to share (or, don't, if you want leftovers). I love mala anything, so this is the perfect dish for me! No recommendations on which meats and veggies to get, it's all based on personal preference! We also like to get the fried rice rolls that have shrimp on the inside. The outside is so crunchy, and the shrimp is juicy! Crab fried rice is also a crowd favorite. The restaurant is mostly clean, but I will note that at the end of the day, it is a place that uses a lot of oil for cooking, so IYKYK... Service is good; the waitresses have always been very nice and polite to us! read more

Everything we've had so far has been amazing! There's plenty of seating to cater to large groups. If you're in a big party I'd recommend getting there right when they open just to get a table and not have to wait so long. The seafood is FRESH! When you walk in there are tanks on the side where there's clams,crab, fish, etc. Clams in the black bean sauce is a favorite. The salt and pepper crab is also a must when dining here, the fried garlic that it's topped with is so good! The peaking duck is delicious! It came out fairly quickly because knowing that dish it usually takes awhile for it to come out. It's served with thin tortillas rather than a bun which imo was better because you could eat more of it without getting so full. It also comes with some cucumbers, pickled carrots and radish, green onion and a sweet plum sauce. read more

This is a no frills Chinese restaurant. True to its name, I would say it's pretty authentic! My family and I got: - Peking duck: comes with soup, pancakes, and fried rice. We chose to add salted fish to the duck friend rice and it added the perfect amount on saltiness to it - stir fried pea sprout: I love any green vegetable in a garlic sauce I would definitely come back.

Everyday Authentic Chinese Cuisines - I love it when most of what I need to say is already in the name of the restaurant. This place is unassuming from the outside - a sign among many signs in a strip mall. Man is that deceiving though.... When we walked in, we were treated to fish tanks with all kinds of live sea food (lobster, crab, flounder, tilapia, etc) and hanging cooked ducks. I have a friend who studied abroad in China for 5 years who recommended this as the local place that reminded him most of the village where he taught. We're big duck fans, so we opted for the Peking duck 3-course meal which included pancakes, duck-bone-broth soup, Peking duck with skin, and a mountain of mushroom fried rice. As many of you know, we've been to over 300 restaurants in the Lansing area, and many more around the world, so it takes a bit for a place to really blow our minds. Consider our minds blown. The duck was so crisp, tender, and balanced, that I swear if I just had let it sit on my tongue and not chewed, it would have melted away. The soup was deep and full of umami flavor. The fried rice was perfect, and the pancakes made great backup "silverware" to our chopsticks. The place was packed, and I could see why. This hidden gem won't remain hidden for long, I suspect. read more

Ambiance: your typical Chinese restaurant with live seafood you can select and roast duck and pork belly Service: fast service. It only took a few minutes after you order for them to bring out the food. Food: delicious authentic Chinese food. The bbq combo was great since I had a craving for it. The Chinese broccoli came out on a large plate as well as the eggplant. Very good and a lot of options. read more

My family and I stopped by for dinner this past Sunday and they were able to fit a party of 12. We ordered so much food here and most of what we ordered were quite good. I was impressed to find this quality of food here. The peking duck came with some wrappers and garnish along with hoisin sauce for dipping. The duck skin was crispy and the duck itself was tender. However, on it's own it's a bit bland, so definitely dip it in hoisin sauce! This also came with a duck soup (contained veggies and beancurd, I think) but I thought it was on the blander side. It's a good palette cleanser I guess, but could use a tad more seasoning. We also got the fish maw and crab meat soup. Similarly, good amount of seafood "fresh" flavors, but could use more seasoning. The EVERYDAY BBQ PLATTER was a fan favorite at our table. This comes with Hainanese chicken, crispy roasted pork belly and char siu. I personally really liked the strong sesame flavor that's been coated on the chicken and the pork belly was delicious with its super crunchy skin. My favorite was definitely the lobster with ginger & scallion sauce. The lobster shell had been nicely pan-fried and super flavorful ("wok hay") after being cooked in the sauce. There wasn't a whole lot of lobster meat, but the sauce and flavors made up for it. This was a solid option and I would highly recommend it if you are a fan. We also got the mayo shrimp with mango which was pretty standard. We also got the steamed bass which had a nice soy sauce that went with it. The fish was overcooked in some parts but the sweetness of the soy sauce complemented it well. There were a few other dishes (like peashoots and braised lamb in clay pot) that we also enjoyed. Overall, the whole meal was almost $400 after tax and tip, which is a fair price for the amount of food and quality of food we got. read more

The best dim sum dishes around the area. Fresh and good quality. Also the best Cantonese Bbq meat.

We stopped in here for a quick meal while we were at Michigan State for a competition. The food was good, and came out quickly. There were enough dishes with vegetables to satisfy some dietary restrictions. We had the whole duck, steamed eggplant with garlic sauce, beef chow fun, Twice cooked pork, baby bok choy, string beans, and Mapo Tofu. It had been a week of eating random fast food, so the nice family style meal really hit the spot. read more

We came here so that my cousin could try the roasted duck and pork so that he may order it from here for his upcoming wedding. We got here at noon on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy, but since we were a party of 7 we were seated in the back area. Our waitress was helpful with how to order. My mom also was able to speak Chinese with her and add other items. We mainly ordered dim sum items consisting of hargow (shrimp dumplings), fried chive and pork dumplings, sui mai, chicken feet, shrimp rolls, pineapple buns, egg, custard, tarts, and durian pastry tarts. We also added Chinese broccoli with garlic sauce, roasted pork, roasted duck, eggplant with meat and garlic sauce, and beef chow fun. Everything was very delicious. I would have been here a lot if they were around while I went to school at that time. read more

Excellent Chinese cuisine, especially the dim sum, which is consistently outstanding.

Probably the best authentic chinese restaurant you'll find in East Lansing. They have live seafood in tanks. They make many authentic Hong Kong/Cantonese dishes. I was quite impressed with the seafood stir fried in XO sauce. You can really taste the "wok hay" the pea sprouts (aka snow pea leaves) were perfect. Not old or chewy. The beef chow fun in soy sauce is decent for this area. I was not too impressed with the lobster cooked maggi style. It's much better in Toronto/Markham. The waitstaff were nice and efficient. You never go to an authentic chinese restaurant expecting 5 start service. The place is a little older so it has the typical sticky floors and old furnishing, but orherwise place gets a solid 4 stars from me! read more

Everyday Authentic Chinese Cuisine - Dim sum Shumai Beef tendon Chicken feet Honey comb cake - Chinese Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

We have been to his restaurant many times before. My husband swears it is one of the best Chinese restaurants he has been to be including So-Cal and Nor-Cal. We were very surprised to find good Chinese food in East Lansing Michigan. Entering the restaurant is not very special or decorative. It is very traditional with round tables set up to accommodate large groups. There is plenty of space inside the restaurant and the times we went, it was somewhat busy. The first time we went there we looked over the menu to see what they offered. Their menu has so many dishes, very traditional. I usually let my husband pick and chose the dishes just because he knows better than me and I'm not picky. The waitress that helped us the first time suggested off menu items which we agreed on. We also chose some on menu items because we wanted to try out a little bit of everything. Since the restaurant wasn't as busy, our dishes came out quickly. Everything was so good. So much better than the restaurants in California. The flavor was there, and each dish came with pretty good protein proportions. My husband couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. We have taken my in-laws and friends to this restaurant, and they have agreed it is one of the better Chinese restaurants they have experienced. I'm so sad we had to move away from East Lansing but we will make the drive back so we can eat at this place. It is worth it 100%. read more

Everyday is a legit, 广东菜 (Cantonese cuisine) restaurant. Cantonese is not my personal favorite, but I can respect authenticity and good quality when I see and taste it. We tried a couple things on our first visit here: * 萝卜炖牛腩 (radish with beef tendon) * 沸腾水煮鱼 (spicy boiled fish) The former was excellent, and - again - that's their specialty, Cantonese dishes. The latter was average. (My guess after this experience is they do decent Sichuan, but not great.) Price was reasonable. Staff were helpful and friendly. I guess what I'd say is if you like Cantonese food you'll probably really enjoy this place. read more

Everyday Chinese has been my favorite authentic Chinese food in Lansing area. The food quality has always been great with consistent taste and quality. Our favorite dish is the seafood stir fry in XO sauce. The mixture of seafood is not your everyday packet from grocery store. They used more interesting mix including fish belly, fried scallops etc. The mix of stir fry and deep fry textures really makes this dish unique. Their Basil chicken also has its own character. It is spicy and sweet. The chicken is really tender but not overly watery. It was my first time trying this dish and I was pleasantly surprised. The sausage fried rice was amazing. Instead of using regular rice, they used sticky rice. So the dish itself was not dry at all, but rather slightly chewy. The ambiance was Classical Chinese restaurant environment. The service was fast and the waitresses really know what to recommend based on your interest. read more

Everyday is the best Authentic Chinese food in this area we've had. Every time my husband and I order we try something different from their menu, and I'm lucky because my husband eats basically anything! The House Lo Main is my favorite dish and has a really great flavor profile with a lot of noodles and mix of proteins proteins. This past order we had chicken basil, which was nice and spicy with large sprigs of fresh basil and came with well-cooked white rice that was nice and sticky. Everyday is a little pricer than other places if you're planning on getting American Chinese, but for their regular menu -- they're simply amazing. They also have steamed buns, which are okay. We found the BBQ bun to be too sweet and the custard buns to be too messy and overall prefer the ones at Golden Wok, but so far our only "complaint". Thank you, Everyday for staying open and getting us through COVID! read more

The waitstaff is excellent, they are very attentive to details. I ordered peaking duck because it looked pretty good at the entrance, however, the cost is $55 or $70 with tip and the portion size was too small on the duck. The duck was served in small slices upside down, half of the slices (6) were nothing but duck skin, and only about 6 small slices had any duck meat. Moreover, the duck was very dry, somewhat lukewarm, and not seasoned well, it did come with hoisin sauce but did not do much for the cold duck. I guess, my take on this is if you want peaking duck either go to Toronto or China...it will be cheaper and better. I made several calls to the restaurant to speak with the manager but one was not available....oh well, they could have prevented this review. Not worth the money, do not buy it! read more

Super authentic Chinese food. Came here for dinner with some friends. We were all visiting from Boston and were very happy with the variety, option, and quality of the food. Sauteed green beans and spicy salt and pepper tri were amazing. Service was pretty fast, too. They also give you rice, so you don't need to ask for it, and any pots of tea are $5 as an fyi, since we didn't know when we asked for tea. Inside has ample seating, and fish tanks at the entrance :) read more

Like the name says, this is *authentic* Chinese! So yes, there are bones and yes Chinese people eat bull frog (racist comment much?). Yes, it's a little dingy and grimy, but that comes with the authenticity. They have fantastic Peking duck- comes with soup, the Peking duck, and duck fried rice. We also ordered the Szechwan grilled fish - a huge portion and comes with a whole fish (so yes there's bones!). I didn't expect much from a Lansing restaurant but I actually felt the Peking duck was better than the Chicago restaurants. There was a great variety of dishes, and I loved the jellyfish! Well seasoned with sesame oil and chili. I also noticed the other customers were Chinese, so that's a testament! read more

They were still under renovation when we visited. They struggled a little bit on the service side, which is not uncommon. The machine to swipe the credit card was having an issue, which caused a delay in the process. We enjoyed the Mongolian beef and flounder fillet in chili pepper broth. The stir-fried pea sprouts were alright. The everyday special casserole is not the same as I expected, not as flavorful as I thought. read more
