Asian Invasion

While sandwiches are good for everyday consumption, once in a while you crave a little spice and wish to add some flavor to your life. Well look no further, below we offer our favorites in Asian cuisine.

China Gate
S. University and Church

This is the perfect sit-down place to get a tasty, flavorful lunch for under $6. I don't usually approve of Chinese restaurants that have menus in the form of pictures on their wall, but for Cgate I'll make an exception.

Favorite Menu Items

Kung Pao Chicken
Sweet and Sour Chicken
General Tso's Chicken

*Lunch items come with white or fried rice and an egg roll.

Kang's Korean aka Coffeebreak
Near the corner of South University and Washtenaw

This once humble business of selling coffee and dessert to students passing by on their way to class has become a favorite to many loyal consumers of Korean cuisine. A hole in the wall in its own right, don't let this restaurant's appearance deter you, as you will not only front a mere 8 bucks for a delicious authentic dish, but this will also be your ticket to enjoy a true Korean atmosphere - hands down well worth the cost for admission.

Favorite Menu Items

Kang's Spicy Chicken
Bul Go Ki
Bi Bim Bop

*Kang's is my favorite restaurant of all time, although I have to shamefully admit that I've ordered 1 item from the menu - Kang's Spicy Chicken. I cannot get myself to order any of the other delectable dishes as I have been more than satisfied time and time again with my spicy chicken. Don't fall victim to this behavior!

Champion House
Liberty and Main St.

While Cgate and Kang's are at the top of our list, they might not be the ideal place to take a hot date. Although Champion House may be a pricier option, it offers both Chinese and Japanese fare (unfortunately you can either do only Chinese or only Japanese). The atmosphere is just right for a fun-filled evening out with friends or for a cozy dinner with that special someone.

Favorite Menu Items

Teriyaki Chicken - Chinese
Chicken, Steak, Shrimp, or Veggies - Japanese

*The Japanese side chefs cook your food at your table right in front of you. With dazzling slight of hand tricks, these professionals will cut up your meat, veggies, and rice and cook it for you as you throw down some saki.
