GOTTA HAVE PHO
I love Asia's Finest Pho! I was turned on to Pho by a friend of mine who is of mixed Vietnamese and American ancestry. He said that I had to try the Pho because it was the closest thing to his grandmother's that he had ever had. I had never had Pho before and was a little skeptical of how great it could be -- after all its just beef and noodle soup right? -- but boy was I wrong. My fiancee and I are now Pho addicts! The Pho is not only delicious and very filling... but it is also fairly inexpensive. For about $8 you get a fresh, piping hot bowl of Pho that is big enough to swim in. Plus, you get a nice hearty plate of fresh condiments (bean sprouts, thai basil, cilantro, limes, and jalapeno slices). Bottles of siracha (very spicy chili sauce) and hoisin sauce (very sweet and complex sauce that reminds me of a Chinese bbq) are also provided with the meal.
Also, if you are in a rush and cannot stop to dine in, Asia's Finest offers Pho to Go! Just call in your order and pick it up. The ingredients come neatly packaged in a box and the broth comes in a large plastic containter. Simply take the stuff home, spread your ingredients (noodles, veggies, and meat) into a large bowl, heat the broth until it is very hot, pour it in the bowl and enjoy! (Trust me, its easier than it sounds. I have ordered Pho to Go several times as a home remedy when I am sick. If I can prepare it with a 102 fever... you can do it no problem!)
So, if you want great pho for little dough, try Asia's Finest!
PS> Don't be fooled by those other Pho places. One night when Asia's Finest was closed and I was needing a Pho fix, I stopped by an East Lansing restaurant that offers Pho. Trust me, I will never make that mistake again. Not only was the Pho far more expensive at the East Lansing restaurant, but it was not nearly as good. Stick to Asia's Finest. -
the Pah Khee Mao is awesome
as is the Tom Yum for carryout, Pho for dining in. i do think it's better for lunch than dinner (more spice). i also think tonynanita works for Bangkok House.

Sep 11, 2009Love the Pho!
My all-time favorite vietnamese place. I used to live in Lansing and go all the time and miss it. Everytime I am in the area I make sure to stop to get the Pho.

Rockin food - unusual menu
I ate here a couple of nights ago, food was hot, fresh, delishious. I had Pad Thai, well prepared, spicy, mmmmm.
I also had Vietnamese egg rolls, hot, not greasy, excellent. Last time I ate here I had a Vietnamese soup and it was very good as well, one of the best asian resturants in Lansing. -
Great Pho
The Pho is amazing! I enjoy it so much it has been difficult to get around to trying anything else. I've also had the Special Vermicelli, and it was equally good, but now I have two things I can't get enough of. I've had Pho in an award-winning Vietnamese restaurant in Cleveland, and this was better. Their fresh (uncooked) egg rolls are wonderful, and the dipping sauce unbelievably good. Considering how good the Vietnamese food is, I have to get around to trying some of their other cuisines.

Asia's Finest Top Notch
In my opinion Asia's Finest is the best restraunt for the money in Lansing. Their Vietnamese, Thai and standard Chinese dishes are all consistently tasty and reasonably priced. The Thai dishes are spiced to taste both noodle and curry dishes are incredible. I recently started sampling the Vietnamese dishes and they are awesome. They have different soups on dine in based upon the day of the week. Thursday is hot and sour soup day, which is my and my coworkers favorite.

The place for hot n spicy asian!
I've eaten here on several occasions. The thai food is excellent. Pa Nang chicken, gang musmun, all of it!. The satay chicken and crab rangoon are great too. Either Tuesday or Wednesday they have cucumber soup. Oh my is it tasty!
Oh, and sometimes they play asian variety shows on the TV. Quite entertaining. -
Very Good
Food and service were both very good. They had a very wide selection of asian dishes. I had the Gang Musmun and it couldn't have been better.

Go here all the time
The food is very good. I like the Pho and many of the Thai dishes, like chicken Pa Nang. This is a great place to go for lunch and they can accomidate large groups at their 2 giant round tables.
