What a terrific place We have been twice, once for dine in and dined in another time Absolutely would recommend this spot! read more

Sizeable portions of very good food! Reasonably priced and many menu options. I especially like their egg rolls. Service with a smile both in restaurant and carry out. I will continue to patronize this nice Chinese restaurant! read more

We have been on the hunt for a classic American-Chinese option our favorite has gone downhill. We stopped in for dinner on a Sunday and had a great dinner. It was everything we were craving and the service was great. The dining area was very clean and the menu was large. When you walk in, you get a table with menus, then you order at the bar and take a number to your table, then you bring your number up to the bar to pay when you're done. The service was very quick as well. The dining room was pretty busy and takeout orders were constant. Our meals included rice, soup, and our choice of either an egg roll or 2 cheese rangoons. I'm not sure if this is everyday or just a Sunday thing, I don't think the menu mentioned this deal. The portions were very large and we both took boxes home. The prices were reasonable for EGR and the portions received. We will definitely stop in again: read more

Firstly, what a crazy name to have! I think the name is a cultural difference because of how current vernacular but still cool to go to. Anyway, the food here was so good! My friends and I visited for an event in GR, and we found this on Yelp. Very glad we came to check it out! The food was so good and affordable. We chose to do family style at our different tables so we had a great spread of food. The spices were great in the food and I was so excited to take food home too! Also, they have a full bar, so if you would like to drink there, it's an option too! We didn't drink there but we did get the Vietnamese coffee and they brewed it fresh! It was so good! Lastly, shoutout to the staff. Their service was great! We came in with 12 people and they were very helpful with our questions and accommodating us. Mind you, this is not a huge location but they were still great to work with. I definitely recommend visiting if you're in the area! read more

The best Chinese you can get in greater Grand Rapids. Normally the service is great, when the younger girl is working orders are wrong, and she's rude when you ask her to correct them. She actually laughed at this last instance. No problems with the rest of the staff, just poor service from the young lady / daughter. If she answers the phone we will hang up and go to another restaurant. read more

Totally a loving family operation which is self evident in the quality of the food. General Tso's rivals NYC Chinatown high end restaurants. Moo Shu Pork rivals SF Chinatown. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

We were visiting Meijer Garden and would like to have light and quiet lunch , and we found this place. The place is very nice and clean, the food is delicious and just suit my stomach . The service is quick and pleasant. We will come back if we ever in that area again! read more

Decent food. I didn't really like the crab ragoons - too cream cheesy and not enough crab for me. The lo mein was good. The place has good service. The food is overpriced in my opinion. read more

Darn I thought I already reviewed this place a long time ago... now this place is top 100 Chinese restaurants on Yelp. Yes it's that good. This is my go to Chinese restaurant and I'm glad a lot of people agree. Wishing this place so much more success. read more

I came here after seeing so many rave reviews on Yelp! First thing I noticed is it is very small and simple yet still gives a semi elegant vibe giving 3 stars for ambiance. Service was interesting. They seated us then gave us a menu, took our drink orders without giving us an opportunity to look at what they offered then said to order at the counter when ready. I put our order in then took a number to my table that I would need to take back to the counter to pay. This is where I was a bit disappointed. There weren't very many people in the restaurant and there were 3 servers in a tiny place that could have provided table service. They did serve the food but overall I'd say the service is mediocre, 3 stars. Cleanliness gains 4 stars as there were multiple clean tables but we were seated at a dirty one that was wiped off after we sat down. Other than that it appeared to be very clean. Food quality and freshness. I do think the food was very good but honestly it wasn't anything special. With so many reviews saying they're the best Chinese in GR I think I had expectations for something special but it was just average. I'm going to give 5 stars for both of these though because it was very good. That's 4 stars total. read more

Could be better. I guess I expected more based on the reviews, but the takeout seemed pretty indistinguishable from any other chinese place.

Some of the best Chinese food I've had in a very long time. The egg rolls and chicken lo mein were so fresh tasting and were definitely made to order. The ambience was very laid back and relaxing. Staff was friendly and attentive. Zero complaints about this spot. Great location too! read more

Best Pho I've had ever within the USA. When I travel I like the comfort of foods from home (Markham, Ont, Canada) and Gaslight had been the best so far. Thank you for taking the time to chat with us. Will be back the next time we are in town. read more

I have passed this spot a couple times and never thought to try until recently. I have been on the hunt for some good Chinese styled dumplings and I think this one hit the spot! I stopped in for lunch and was expecting a super small, hole in the wall, type of Chinese restaurant but being in the heart of EGR, I should have known it was a bit bigger. To my surprise, they even had a full bar! Not super rare in any Asian restaurants so I was very happy to see that as an option. I ordered the lunch special Lo Mein and my boyfriend go the lunch special Orange Chicken. Both came with soup (hot and sour or egg drop), an eggroll and 2 crab rangoon. Everything was so good and surprisingly not super greasy! You can choose either white or fried rice with the lunch special as well, but we got white rice so I didn't get a chance to try the fried rice. The dumplings were really good and all the sauces provided just added to the flavor. Not overwhelming, not too doughy, and the flavor of the inside was great! I am definitely going to make this my go-to Chinese restaurant. read more

Been wanting to eat her since we moved to the area. Food was amazing and the staff was super friendly (seems like one big family runs it). Super clean and the ambience had a big city Asian restaurant feeling. The egg roll appeared to be made in house and the chicken lo mein was super yummy and big enough to split. read more

Love the food and the service. Lucky to have this restaurant nearby. We call early for takeout as they can get busy.

I visit Grand Rapids quite often for work and each time I visit I try at least one new restaurant. I found this place via yelp and thank goodness I gave it a shot because it was so delicious. This is a family run business which is a bonus for me. The person I believe is the owner was so nice and prompt with greeting me. The dining area as bright and clean. Lots of 4 top tables. The portions were big and it all seemed very fresh and made when ordered. The egg drop soup was unique in that it had baby shrimp, mushrooms, peas, and carrots in it which I don't think I've had in any other egg drop soup. I like it and would get it again for sure. The egg roll and crab cheese pieces were very flavorful and crispy. The orange chicken was perfectly crispy and saucy as well. They say it's spicy but I did not pick up any spice with mine. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I decided to try a new place for Chinese food and chose this restaurant. I ordered the beef lo mein and crab cheese, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed. When I arrived, they couldn't find my phone order, which made me think they may have given it to someone else. They remade it in about 5-10 minutes, but that made me skeptical about the quality. When I got home and opened the food, I found there was hardly any beef, just a large amount of bland noodles with little to no seasoning and very few vegetables. The crab cheese tasted like it had been made hours earlier and just refried for my order. To top it off, even the fortune cookie was stale -- something I didn't even know was possible. I won't be ordering from here again, although I will say the staff was very friendly read more

Best Chinese food in Grand Rapids. The owners are very friendly. The portions are very generous and the flavor of the sauces was on point! Highly recommended! read more

Really enjoyed our visit. Food was quite delicious and fresh. We had a curry chicken dish and one of the classic Chinese chicken dishes. Both came with a generous serving of steamed rice. My only comment is the odd process where you need to order your food at the bar/counter. It didn't ruin the evening but it certainly impacted the sense that you are relaxing in a restaurant. By ordering at the bar, it's confusing, for example, will there be any service during our dinner or do we have to go up to the bar again if we need something or if we want to order something additional? Again, not the end of the world, the delicious food outweighs this ordering process, but maybe something they can consider changing in the future Thanks. read more

Went out for dinner here with some friends, I love eating here. I had the Singapore Noodles, made with chicken, vermicelli and curry. It has a nice bite. I also had a Tsing Tao beer. My wife had Mongolian Beef which she enjoyed. Our guests had Cashew Chicken and Chinese Vegetables with scallops. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The family that runs this restaurant are very nice and welcoming. I suppose they are short handed because you order at the bar and they bring your food to your table. The ambiance is quite nice and the atmosphere relaxed. read more

Food was wonderful. I had the best soup. Service was fast and food presentation was excellent Will be returning.

YUM!! If you can make it, get in there for the lunch special! Because you get an egg roll, soup, crab Rangoon, and entree! Whatttttt! It was so good! We loved the hot and sour soup and egg drop soup. The egg roll was full of meat! The Mongolian beef was to die for. I may have not shared with my husband like I was supposed to. The seasame chicken was good but I would order the Mongolian beef before the chicken. The fried rice was full of flavor. The chicken Lomein was another favorite of mine. I ate it alll!! Also the town this place is in is the cutest! There was limited street parking in front of the place, I didn't see their parking lot but there is a garage right down the street to park in. read more

Hi visiting from Florida, wanted some good food and this hit the spot. the pho was excellent. The staff was so friendly , real nice relaxed atmosphere. Overall 10 out of 10 read more

I am so impressed with this place! We got a large to-go order, but sat at the bar for a drink while we waited, and watched the friendliness of the staff and owners. Once we got home, it was evident that great care was taken with the quality of the food, even down to not putting sauce onto the sweet & sour shrimp so that it wouldn't get soggy. Everything was flavorful and delicious, not greasy, crispy and on pointe! We will be back... many thanks to all of you!!! read more

The food was good. The dinner and lunch combos are limited to one specific sauce. They charge a lot extra to substitute. The options are extremely limited. The meals are advertised as $25 but they charge fees on top of fees and extra fees until you're out an extra $10-15 more than asking price per meal. Two of the cheapest small meals come out to $60 before tip which is almost double the menu price listed. read more

I ordered here for the first time. Very pricy so I thought the food would be great. Wrong!! I dont know what was in the egg roll but it was gross. There was very little brown sauce in the garlic chicken Very disappointed. Never order from there again. read more

Yelp drew us to try this spot and there was PLENTY of food so great portions. We had the appetizers while we were starving and they were absolutely incredible. Fried wontons and steamed dumplings, which were more like steamed bao buns, but I'm not complaining as they were homemade and what I was craving. The entrees we tried were chicken low mein, which I think could've been more flavorful, chicken with garlic sauce, (again, could have had more flavor. Menu stated it was spicy and it was not) and the general Tao chicken which was tasty and saucy! Service was great although we ordered to go but the person at the bar was knowledgeable and anticipated our needs. Chill little restaurant spot on the corner. Not the best but definitely not the worst Chinese food I've had read more

Stopped in for a first time visit. Great service, wide selection of menu items and options. Food was four star, bathrooms five star, service five star. Sesame chicken was good however it was a little dry. The steamed and fried dumplings were good yet. Dumplings skins were thick and the meat was kind of dense but overall the taste was good. Singapore noodles were good however they were very heavy on the curry powder. read more

The best Chinese food in GR hands down. You seriously cannot go wrong with anything you order. It's a small place with a bar for your Tsing Tao needs. The hot and sour soup is more peppery than other places but in a good way. The sizzling rice soup is salty with poppy rice and crunch vegetables. The egg drop soup has more than just eggs with mushrooms and carrots. Their egg rolls are less cabbage and more pork and chicken and have an amazing flavor. Their spicy wontons are slippery and covered in a spicy sauce that has just enough heat. The entrees I recommend are the Singapore noodles, princess pork, Szechwan pork, and pad Thai but you cannot go wrong with anything. The fried rice is also delicious and not super oily like some other places. This place is our go to and the staff and owner are all super friendly. read more

This is a take out review. Let me start out by saying except for pizza, I'm not a take out guy. During these trying times with restaurants closed for dining in, we thought we'd give Gaslight Kitchen a try. We first went there a couple of weeks ago and loved everything about our experience. The food and service was outstanding. Happy to report that there is no difference with take out. Our order was well packed and still warm and fantastically wonderful when we got home 15 minutes later. None of us know how long we will be impacted by COVID-19. Supporting out favorite restaurants by utilizing take out is a must if we want to see them in business when things "return to normal". read more

Today was one of many takeout orders and my husband was very satisfied with how quickly the process was. We called the order in and within a half hour it was ready for curbside pickup! This was a great relief as we were quite hungry! I ordered the chicken and pea pods - it was really good but not quite as flavorful as expected; pretty mild brown sauce. My husband got the sweet and sour chicken and was happy with it. Another great visit! The staff is also friendly and we are happy to support a local family business! read more

The best Asian food I've had perhaps ever and I'm from New York where we have incredible Asian restaurants! The food is gourmet quality but the prices are extremely reasonable. The servers are friendly and top notch and the atmosphere is very clean and inviting! We found it after going to Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids and it made for the perfect end to a wonderful day!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

I ordered take out from this restaurant so I can not speak for the service that you will receive if you choose to dine in. However, I received exceptional service on the phone while ordering my food. The menu was a little confusing so she helped me order just what I was looking for. She was very patient which is not common for most restaurants taking orders over the phone. As for the food, we ordered the Kung pao chicken and the Mongolian beef. The Kung Pao chicken was ok but I wouldn't say that we would order it again. The chicken was cooked well but it didn't have the most flavor. Thanks he Mongolian beef was very good. They had quality beef strips with their Mongolian beef sauce and I would definitely order it again. The inside of the restaurant was clean and well kept. There were multiple couples seated for dine-in and it looks like the perfect spot for date night if your balling on a budget, but want something nicer than Panda Express. They also had a full bar that I'm sure they have some fun drinks. For the two meals and two egg rolls we paid $34 which is a decent price for a Chinese restaurant in gaslight village. read more

Some goods, some meh. We have not eaten at the restaurant yet, only take out, but the restaurant is always packed. The bali bali beef is a must - sweet, savory, chewy, falls off the skewer so easily. The general tso's is so good- massive chunks of chicken, perfectly sauced (4/10 spice level) . Exactly what you want in that dish. I tried only 1 bite of the hunan chicken as it was ordered at a higher spice level than I prefer (6/10)- was spicy but I could have easily eaten it and I am not a spice person. My husband said it wasn't spicy for him so he will need to order a higher number. The princess chicken was ordered as is (2/10 spice level). It was good but I wish it had a little more flavor. Not pictured- egg roll, husband said it was the best he has ever had- not excessively breaded and so much flavor- another must. Finally, the major meh- crab cheese. Really not worth it in my opinion. Barely any crab in it and not even much cream cheese. We will order a different app instead next time. read more

Clean and friendly restaurant but I don't know how this is considered the best in Grand Rapids. I don't like that they use chicken thighs for their Chinese cuisine because I prefer white meat. Everything was just basic as one would get at any Chinese food court. read more

Chinese takeout that was far from the worst (The worst title is still owned by Bozeman, Montana followed by Gananoque, Ontario - as the worst ever) The mix Chinese vegetables were really good. Nice assortment. Good flavor. Not very imaginative, but no complaints. read more
