Asian fusion restaurant, Japanese, Korean and Thai bento
Yum Yum Bento is the perfect place for a delicious bite! Small cozy restaurant with adorable decorations. ShanShan and all the staff are so sweet and welcoming! I've been coming here for years, and it's never disappointed.
The shrimp tempura curry is SO good. All the appetizers are good too.
Mr. Bear gets a 10/10 as well. He's very quiet and polite π§Έπ
Volcano Ramen was not too spicy but a good amount of spice to enjoy the broth. Broth had a nice umami flavour and great thickness to it. Just the right amount of meet and noodles but a tad pricey. The bowel is shallow and wide. Chicken Karaage was good but nothing special, personally wouldnβt order it when I return.
Also parking is in the back of the restaurant the lady at the front was extremely nice and helpful. Atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant and the restaurant was very clean.
Great place. They have many options, delicious food and friendly service. I came with two other people. We came in for a late lunch and were the only customers for a bit. The inside looks nice and is comfortable. All three of us loved the food we ordered. Everything came quickly. Our server was patient with us while we took time to decide. Great experience overall.
Edit: I visited this place three times so far with a few other people each time, and we all loved the food each time. The food is always quick and delicious.
4 stars because of limited seating and the lack of parking space they had. Also the fact that it's right off the busiest street on campus. Other than that, everything was great. I order the volcano chicken Ramen, and there's nothing better than a spicy and hot ramen to enjoy on a chilly day. The inside is super clean and modern and very cozy. Will be back next time for sure.
YumYum Bento is a great food choice located in East Lansing - very close to the MSU campus. I love their milk tea. They have a lot of Japanese, Korean, and Thai menu choices. The wait for food can be a bit long but it's always worth waiting for. The teriyaki tofu bento box is one of my favorite lunches for a great price.
I love this place so much! I come here every week because they have the best ramen Iβve tried in the area. If you love ramen or any soup in general, I highly recommend giving this place a try. They also have many options like bento box varieties, Japanese & Thai curry, stir fry, and more. Thereβs also bubble tea, fruit tea, and their slushies are really good. The staff is super friendly and the environment is very cozy and cute! Food is always ready without a long wait too. Itβs a great place to spend time with friends or enjoy a meal by yourself. I will definitely come here a lot from now and strongly recommend!!
This place is fairly new on Grand River and I was craving some Asian food, so I wanted to give it a try. I ended up picking up takeout with a friend. I was slightly disappointed that they didnβt use less plastic in their packaging but, so goes the typical practice of the Asian takeout restaurant and a lot of Michigan restaurants in general. They have several ordering options, including Uber eats and DoorDash which was nice to see. We just walked in to place our orders. It was nice to see that they had a very inviting seating area. It felt very bright and open with cute Asian-themed decorations. The two ladies running the counter were kind and friendly, and we had no issues ordering and receiving our food. I ordered Takoyaki and Chicken Yakisoba Noodles. Whenever I see Takoyaki on the menu, I feel like itβs a must have. The best way to describe it is a deep fried ball of seafood mush topped with a super flavorful sauce and some flaky stuff. The Yakisoba noodles were on point and definitely a highlight to the meal. The noodles were sauced with a Japanese style subtle smoky bbq flavor that wasnβt overpowering. Tossed and fried with vegetables, eggs, and chicken, I felt like the dish could have had a bit more chicken in it but, definitely would not be a dealbreaker for coming back here again. Overall this place has a lot of Asian variety on their menu that makes it a very versatile Asian Fusion restaurant for a quick bite or full-on feast. I am excited to come back to dine-in and try their seafood pancake, kimchi fries, and bibimbap!

I love coming here with my little sisters! They love the ornament wall with all the drawings, probably my favorite Asian food place in Lansing!
We did a carry out order. The food was ready on time. When we got home it was still warm. We all agreed our meals were delicious. Would definitely try it again.
Fav local fusion place
Delicious food with excellent service!
What a gem! From the outside you wouldn't even think the inside was so nice, warm, and welcoming. The service a absolutely amazing. I had the volcano Ramen with chicken..... THE BEST RAMEN hands down. The flavor, the spice, the tenderness of the chicken was amazing! The yum yum fruit tea was refreshing and went perfectly with my meal!
This will definitely be my new ramom spot. I can't wait to inside l introduce my sisters to YumYum Bemto!!!
Located on Grand River just past MSU's campus! You won't be sorry you went!!
The BEST ramen in East Lansing and so many other delicious options! Iβve been a huge fan of this place for four years!
The inside is so cute and the food is amazing!! 10/10 recommend the ramen !!
Yumilicious! Food just takes a long time to come out but tastes delicious and is great price to quality ratio
Amazing! me and my mom came to MSU to visit my brother and we took him here- we all loved it! We had the takoyaki, karage, chashu ramen and thai fried rice and everything was perfect! staff was so friendly and the inside is so cute and so clean! will absolutely be returning
This place is amazing! The inside is so cute and cozy with nice music. The chopsticks were quality and the food was to die for!!! Two of us only paid $40 for two meals and an appetizer, I would highly recommend coming here. The staff was very friendly as well.

Very sheek decor,friendly staff and fire ramen. Didnβt think the noodles would ever end. Definitely recommend.
I understand that it is summer and the students are away, but HOW WERE THERE NOT MORE CUSTOMERS HERE WHEN WE WERE EATING DINNER?
This was our first time dining at YumYum Bento and we will certainly be back! As vegetarians who love Asian food, we are used to having a small selection of menu items to choose from, but here there were so many vegetarian and even vegan items on the menu that it was almost stressful to pick!
We split an order of spring rolls to start and they were FULL of flavor and not overly greasy. The best spring rolls I have had in a long time!
For dinner my husband ordered the vegetable bibimbap, which could only have been better had it come in a stone bowl. I had the Korean style stir-fry with tofu, which was so dark with peppers I was a little afraid of it, but it was DELICIOUS. It was definitely spicy, but not in a way that overwhelmed the other flavors. So tasty it actually made me enjoy zucchini!
I got a mango strawberry smoothie to go with dinner and it was excellent!
The restaurant is cute, clean, and cozy. Admittedly it wasn't busy at the time, but service was quick and attentive.
I have a whole list of other dishes I want to try, especially as we haven't ventured at all into the Japanese or Thai portions of the menu yet!
i love this place. favorite restaurant in east lansing.
My favorite hidden Gem restaurant!!
Small Asian eatery in EL. They have great food and great service. They serve 3-4 different Asian cuisine and they all taste amazing. Definitely recommended.
Very nice ambiance.
Very delicious π
Great food and service
I love this place, I have had takeout several times before and decided to dine in, interior is lovely, the exterior is very unassuming but it disguises a very nice place, definitely want to come in from the alley to park. Road noise from Grand River is pretty high but I didn't find it spoiled my experience.
First time trying this place, food was so good!! I recommend the shrimp bento box. Also prices are reasonable so worth it!!
I ordered a chicken Tom Yum Kway Teow and specifically requested no mushrooms. However, when my dish was served, I found it still contained mushrooms, prompting me to complain to the waiter. Instead of preparing a new dish, the waiter merely took my meal back to the kitchen, attempted to remove the mushrooms, and then served it to me again. Unfortunately, not all the mushrooms were removed, and the soup still had a very strong mushroom flavor. I am appalled by the poor service attitude of this restaurant, which showed a lack of consideration for customers with food allergies.
I stopped for lunch. I was seated with no wait and the server was pleasant. I ordered Tom yum soup and red curry noodles. The mushrooms in the soup and the curry were going bad. Obvious black spots on them. The noodles were ok. Lunch was 20.00 for one person. A bit on there pricey side. I came based on other reviews and might try again, but not the same items.
Well, that was spicy.
Good food but the hours are hard to work with to visit on the weekend.
Ordered Volcano ramen and crab Rangoon for takeout and both were delicious. The quality of the ramen is fantastic. The meat is tender and flavorful. The broth is complex and well balanced. The soft boiled egg is perfectly cooked and well seasoned, which is a rarity at many ramen restaurants. Will definitely be back!
Chicken Karaage, Bulgogi beef, and Bibimbap were very good. Thai red curry chicken also good and less sweet than other places. Cozy place and clean. Excellent flavors here.
very small, so don't expect to come in here with a party larger than 4. very quick service. ramen may cost quite a bit but you get a very large bowl of great quality in return! they also have plastic bowls so that you can take it home.
Good food and good service
This is one of the very best restaurants around, period! The food is always delicious, fresh, and of the highest quality. The service matches the food, as well and is equally amazing! Iβd recommend the teriyaki beef and spring rolls! But in all honesty, you canβt go wrong with anything you order! Iβve never had a bad meal here.
I only came down to Lansing for a work trip, as I actually live 3 hours north from Lansing. Right in walking distance was Yum Yum Bento; I made a pick up order and didnβt even think about how I had no tables or somewhere to sit where I am working at! The sweet lady at the front told me I could sit in, but they normally donβt allow it. Regardless I am forever thankful and so grateful for that experience. This was such a relaxing time in my day and my week, I really needed to just take a break and eat delicious food! I got the gyozas pan fried and a bento box with calamari, and strawberry boba! BEST BOBA EVER. Super impressed and will come back if I am ever in this area again!
Cozy, clean, staff is very kind. I love this spot.
Love love love
they are always so nice and gracious, with some of the best food in east lansing!!
The driest, most rubbery chicken I've ever had the displeasure of eating. Please, just go to a Korean or Thai or Japanese restaurant instead. These folks are shamelessly serving low-quality Chinese imitations of these respective cuisines.
The food is hot and good!! My first time here, won't be the last.
Fantastic food! Delicious and fresh, and I love the separate menus for different cuisines.
I always get the chicken/pork bento box when I go and it is executed perfectly every time. Would definitely recommend and better than any other place I have gone too.
Great Service, ordered the Japanese Katsu, was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend, will come again!!
Its name is definitely fitting! My ramen was so delicious, I could hardly put it down! The tea was equally as good, it was very fruity and sweet but also aesthetically pleasing. I have a shellfish allergy and Iβm not doing dairy for Lent, so our server was able to guide me in making options that suit my dietary restrictions, which was very helpful. Lots of vegan options to choose from!
We've tried a few of the local Ramen restaurants in the area, but this has been our favorite. Cozy restaurant with limited parking. Food portions were good and the food was well prepared. We sampled 3 different appetizers, and all were great. Lived the plum sauce with the spring rolls. Many different menu options for ramen. All of ours were great. Many other menu items beyond that. Can't wait to go back and try more of them!
While we went for the first time on a Friday night, we didn't have any trouble finding a parking spot and got seated as soon as we walked in. I was suprised by the diversity of options available including Thai, Korean, and Japanese. I must say I have never had to choose between my favorite Thai and Korean foods so that was a tough decision to make. I got the bulgogi bibimbap which was amazing, however I wouldn't say it was the best I ever had. My boyfriend got the volcano ramen which he enjoyed. I tried his ramen, as someone who doesn't intentionally seek out the spiciest foods, I must say it was one of the spiciest things I have ever tried. We also got some pan-fried dumplings and the original bubble tea which were great additions to the meal. The price matched the quality and quantity of the food well and we will be going back.
Bento box π± WAS AMAZING, everything to perfection and the speed was incredible! It was my first time here, will NOT be my last π
Absolutely delightful and delicious. I would order 2 entree's personally as they're filling but light. Amazing spot for a quick lunch or dinner.
Really good food
Incredible! Was exactly what I was looking for
Delicious authentic Asian cuisine. Friendly staff, fantastic all around. Might be your new favorite spot, you can thank me later ;).
4 stars because of limited seating and the lack of parking space they had. Also the fact that it's right off the busiest street on campus. Other than that, everything was great. I order the volcano chicken Ramen, and there's nothing better than a spicy and hot ramen to enjoy on a chilly day. The inside is super clean and modern and very cozy. Will be back next time for sure.
Food was delicious and the prices are fair! Huge selection of food too! The staff was very kind too. Love this place!
I've gotten food from here probably 10 times and every time the food is superb! I keep going back to try something new and have never been disappointed. Their bubble tea is also great! The people working there are always friendly and I've never had an incorrect order. You can tell they care about making all of their food delicious! 10/10!!
Delicious food, great service, pleasant atmosphere!
Pretty good restaurant serving Chinese, Japanese, Thai cuisine with a hint of Chinese cusine
Seating is very limited but they offer takeout.
Parking is also limited and to the back of the restaurant
Service was a bit slow but staff was very courteous and polite. Overall very clean and nice place, would recommend a trip out to try it out
So good! Bulgogi is a favorite as well as any ramen!!!
OMG!!! This place is SOOOO cute, the food is good and has high value options!!! Service was happy and welcoming. They have something for everyone - Thai, Korean, Japanese (Ramen & Bento style).Larry, etc. I asked for "la jiao" or Chinese pepper spicy sauce(instead of siracha) and added it to the basic Ramen dish which took the dish from ok/good to amazing and sipped every last drop.
Yum Yum Bento, you have made me experience what itβs like to ascend to the heavens. I have seen the pearly gates after blessing my tastebuds with each bite I took. My highest gratitude to the chef(s). The kalbi was cooked to perfection, with the mesmerizing meat falling off the bone with flavor. You have not seen the last of me.
Best regards,
Daisy Lilly
A great little place with lots of different options on the menuβthere's a Japanese, Korean, and a Thai section on the menu! Ordinarily I would expect a restaurant not to be able to nail three different styles of cooking but I've never had a bad meal here! Whether it's ramen or bibimbap or Thai curry it's delicious every time. β€οΈ
Wait times are never long and the owner is great to chat with! I just wish more people knew about this place.
We came right as it was opening, and I ordered a pork katsu bento and it was so good. The food was out in no time, service was nice and quick.
Amazing! I loved the ramen and the Boba I totes recommend the Japanese green tea boba
amazing
Awesome food. Great price. Will be back again.
All of the food was amazing and the service was great!
This place is my all time favorite. Clean. Fast. Delicious. I love it. Itβs the only reason I attend MSU. I LOVE YOU YUM YUM BENTO. I WOULD DIE FOR YOU
Great authentic food and kind service, the women greeted us with a smile and had good recommendations for food options :) Very happy and price was fair.
Im from Hawaii and there is a lot of asian cuisine back home and not a lot of tasty places asian places around here like yum yum. Highly recommend

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! π«π« not only is the food amazing, but the service is always high quality, fast, and the staff is so friendly!! I often go with friends but some days I go in alone and they are always so nice and respectful. My personal favorites are the Chicken Katsu curry, and the bento box. Very customizable and in my opinion, the best katsu curry I have had yet in the East Lansing area. Each dish is around $12-15 but you are 100% getting your moneys worth, as they serve perfect portions. Highly recommend if you want to try something new or are craving Japanese/Viet/Korean food! Pictured is the Chicken Katsu Curry and the Potato patties appetizer :)
This restaurant is delicious! Iβm usually skeptical of places that have multiple cuisines (Yum Yum Bento has Japanese, Korean, and Thai), but I can safely say that all the dishes I had across the board were delicious. Highly recommend the katsu curry- itβs the best katsu curry iβve ever had because itβs not dry and the sauce is delicious and tastes fresh. Great prices and very cute decor. Honestly please just go here itβs a must try :β)
Amazing food, great service & prices :) the best spot in town for Ramen!
Love this place π I come here as often as my budget allows
I love this place so much! I come here every week because they have the best ramen Iβve tried in the area. If you love ramen or any soup in general, I highly recommend giving this place a try. They also have many options like bento box varieties, Japanese & Thai curry, stir fry, and more. Thereβs also bubble tea, fruit tea, and their slushies are really good. The staff is super friendly and the environment is very cozy and cute! Food is always ready without a long wait too. Itβs a great place to spend time with friends or enjoy a meal by yourself. I will definitely come here a lot from now and strongly recommend!!
Grabbed a chicken katsu bento box for lunch. Super delicious, perfectly sized portions. Will be back.
I usually have had a good experience eating here but last time we came here on a Saturday they were very short-staffed. We waited over an hour for our food. I got mine first and then my friend didn't get their food for another 25 minutes. My food was cold by the time we began to eat and the rice was very stale. Definitely not worth the $30 and the mcdonalds across the street would have been better for $5.
They had one little kid who appeared no older than 12/13 years-old running around waiting tables. The restaurant was packed and there were at least 10-15 pickup and doordash orders while we waited. As someone who's managed a restaurant before I can tell they're definitely making a killing. They have two fancy cars parked in the back worth at least $130k combined yet they're too cheap to hire and pay proper staff.
It was a great experience. The service was great. The food quality was high. I have got chicken karaage and my wife went for the katsu, both were delicious. I will definitely be back.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Great service!! ShanShan is so lovely! The takoyaki and shrimp tempura curry is absolutely delicious π Comfortable seating with Studio Ghibli movies playing on the tv. Definitely coming back for the food and boba π―
My go to on Grand River! Lovely staff and great food for the price!
Their tofu bibimbap and the taro milk tea are delicious! Definitely recommend the dine in experience as the area allows for a small crowd. The staff there is always very welcoming and quick!
Nice small restaurant with good choices of different asian countryβs cuisines. Pad Thai and Yakisoba are good choices π
I love this place. It is consistently good food. Iβve tried dishes from each of the featured cuisines (Thai, Korean, and Japanese), though I most often return to order Thai and Korean dishes! The spice level is always perfect for my taste - sort of a mild to medium spiciness. My absolute favorite item to order is Thai Red Curry. Itβs great with tofu or chicken! No complaints! Staff is always so nice!
Love the Kali, so delicious π
Wife ordered food (she's a vegetarian) and the order was completely wrong. Was only able to eat a small portion of the bento box she ordered. First time ordering....and the last time ordering.
Have you ever dined at a place whose food is so "shut-up-and-take-my-money" good? Do you want to? Then you should check out this place.
I had pad thai and tom yum soup here a few months back. I've been waiting for the day I could finally dine in. I liked the mild, and not too-much-in-the-face taste of the pad thai and the freshness of the shrimp. But particularly, I really liked the tom yum soup. And this is huge, because I never liked tom yum before. It was just a boring sour soup dish to me. And I lived in Berkeley, Osaka and Shanghai; those are foodie heavens. Never liked tom yum. Until I had it at this place. Besides the mild sour/savory taste, there's an added creaminess in their soup, which makes it so much more flavorful. I'd never think that a small restaurant in a small Michigan town could make me like tom yum.
delicious
The food is really good, I been here a lot and tried lots of different dishes here, gotta say it's one of my favorite restaurants in East lansing
Extremely over priced for the items brought out and the food was very mediocre. The portions were also super small.... I think honestly two bowls of noodles shouldn't cost me 45$. Literally my friends and I spent a hot moment trying to figure out how to afford the dishes since the lady already sat us down. Not only was the service extremely slow but the woman didn't even look like she cared about what we had to say. Notably terrible customer service. Definitely the last time I'm going there.
We have gotten the bentos here before and they are pretty good. It's a nice choice for our kids because they like teriyaki. The mix and match is good to keep everyone happy. What bumps them to 5 and what keeps me coming back is the Korean stir fry (add rice cakes). It's sweet and savory and hits such comforting and warming notes. It's instant joy and one of those dishes that as soon as I taste it I am in my happy place.
Delish food and fantastic service! We will definitely be returning
Gf and I got bento boxes to-go, and it was well worth the price! The spicy rice cakes were also quite good, and I have to recommend trying the passionfruit orange honey drink with lychee! Weβll be back.
AMAZING!! Most underrated Asian restaurant in this area. I got the bulgogi bibimbap, and it was perfect. The meat was tender, the fried egg was still perfectly runny, it came with the most delicious kimchi sampler, the gochujang sauce was to die for, and the portion was huge for only $11. Iβm so shocked more people donβt know about this place but I almost donβt want to let people know because maybe I wonβt be able to get a seat inside if it became busier :) Highly recommend, Iβll definitely be coming back to try their other menu items.
Worst service. Only show hospitality to white guests.
This is my favorite restaurant in lansing! the pork katsu curry is my go to and it's absolutely delicious. Everyone who works there is also super nice. I wish I had found this place sooner
This was my first time at this establishment, it was very good. A little pricy but it is worth it. Korean, Thai and Japanese dishes. If you're used to the sweet ginger dressing for your salad this is not something you should order here. If you like Thai tea, try the Coconut π service is a little slow, but the atmosphere is quiet and calming.
Pretty good!
Clean, friendly staff, delicious food!
Great food, understanding and friendly staff. Comfy welcoming atmosphere. Parking was a little tricky but at least they had their own lot.
Food was amazing and everyone was incredibly nice. The restaurant is very pretty and a nice environment to sit around in. Though the service was incredible, it did take a little while before the food we ordered got to our table. Totally worth the wait though because it all tasted amazing
This is the first review Iβve ever written about food. Im not kidding so so so good might be my new favorite place now that Iβm back in East Lansing! I regret not trying it sooner. So yummy and great prices. If your even thinking about trying it this is your sign, do it.
Tasty food. Good flavor and well executed. Nice presentation in bentos. Does not disappoint.
-Tom yum soup packs a punch.
-Chicken karaage well seasoned and comes with a creamy dip to complement.
-Shrimp tempura crispy and not greasy. Quality taste and texture.
-Kimchi sampler a nice variety and so good. Not always thee freshest but def passable.
-Chicken katsu with moist chicken breast and balanced breading and fry.
-Egg roll is OK, not good, not bad.
-Kumquat lemon tea. Sweet and tart and fragrant. Yuzu-esque.
Exceptional:
-Gamjatang (Spicy Pork Bone Soup). Very comforting with white rice.
-Shrimp tempera udon soup. Delicate and beautiful. So simple but so right.
Iβve had many other menu items but donβt remember enough to comment further. In general their Korean is pretty good.
Parking in rear is available. Easy online ordering.
I love coming to Yum Yum Bento. Its one of my regular spots to eat delicious food. The food is not only delicious but its also beautifully plated. The honeydew bubble milk tea is one of my favs to get everytime I come in. Keep being awesome Yum Yum Bento β€
Absolutely delicious food and amazing service. The servers are the kindest!
Everything here is so tasty!
The ramen was spicy but you could still taste the flavors.
Good thing I love spicy!
Super clean and I like how they remodeled the inside! The ladies working there were very welcoming and kind! Food is also really good! They have a variety of Japanese/Korean/Thai food. Had the Thai curry and katsu don and both were delicious! The fruit slushes were also amazing to have on a hot summer day! :)
Very delicious. Lots of variety and the presentation is cute too. Get the rice cakes.
Super nice staff. Great portion of bulgogi for carryout for the price. Deep fried gyoza were tasty as well. Carryout order had a small cup of banchan as well. Highly recommended.
I used to go to the restaurant that was there before but YumYum Bento was shockingly delicious. The bulgogi was amazing, not fatty at all. They give you a lot of food and their speciality drinks were very good as well. The staff was super polite, attentive, and nice. Service was 10/10. Will definitely go back
The interior decoration look really good. Very modern and sleek and I can imagine college kids spending some time Sipping on some milk tea and doing work. The food is good pretty decent takoyaki is on point pretty standard, curry is delicious Kutsu is pretty standard as well. The best thing are the short ribs, extremely delicious juicy and tender. Itβs a little bit on the pricey side but thatβs expected in a college town. Parking a little bit tricky , itβs in the back if you missed their entrance you can go through the back alley.
Ramen tastes fantastic.
Ordered Chicken Teriyaki bento and enjoyed it a lot. The portion was average. I wouldn't say a lot of food but also it was not skimpy. A really big issue with this place and the reason I won't be returning is because of the insane amount of plastic and styrofoam that is used in the packaging. Overall there was 7 pieces of plastic and a styrofoam cup for the soup. If they decide to use environmentally conscious packaging, I will return.
Awesome and fast asian fusion food. Great tasting, good portions, good bubble tea. All around pretty awesome.
Amazing!! I heard about bento and wanted to try it so I got take out from here and wow it was great. The chicken teriyaki is to die for. And I love the cute packaging! You get so much food in a meal too which makes it even more worth it. 10/10 recommend and definitely will be going back!!
If you havenβt tried Yum Yum Bento in East Lansing, I would recommend it! I ordered the Teriyaki chicken bento and the Bibimbap for take out and this is how it looked when i got home (~20 minute drive)! It looks fresh and amazing and tastes even better than it looks! I didnβt check the bag before heading home, but everything I ordered was there including sauces!! π€― Other restaurants need to get on their level!
Well packaged take out! Delicious food
Amazing food, a good mix of different types of dishes.
Nice food and service!
Slow.
Great food. Smart packaging. Nice people. This place has it's stuff together.
This place is so cozy! A great concept well executed. The woman who was working the day I came in was incredibly kind. Get the Korean rice cakes, you won't be disappointed!
I just ate the Japanese curry with katsu pork and I am feeling so so happy. It was clearly prepared and served with care and love. It tasted delicious! Also had the passionfruit and honey drink. Loved the little heart stopper haha just gives out the impression that they really care about their costumers. The place looked neat and clean. I hope they get to open for dine in soon!
Absolutely wonderful little restaurant! It's very clean and welcoming, with delicious food and reasonable prices. The staff were kind and hospitable and very accommodating! I had the teriyaki beef bento and a boba tea, and I will definitely be back soon!
Love the variety of dishes!
The bibimbap was super delicious! Definitely a fav spot for Asian cuisine in EL
They're doing everything right - excellent quality food, fast and friendly service, very reasonable pricing, and a great location. East Lansing needs more gems like this.
Food is great, restaurant is nice and clean. Great option for lunch and quick meal with friends and colleagues!
