  Lansing is the capital city of Michigan, known for its central position and located less than two hours away from Detroit. The Lansing official website describes itself as a small, charming community "combined with the excitement and sophistication of a big city." The greater area of Lansing extends into East Lansing, home of the well-known Michigan State University. While the Korean population in Lansing, Michigan, is small, there is some authentic Korean cuisine to be found.
  
  

Korea House Restaurant

• This small restaurant is a favorite to locals and is known for its quick, convenient service and cheap prices. Private parking is available, and takeout orders are offered. However, alcohol is not served and reservations are not taken; it is first-come first-serve only. Dining is casual, and daily lunch specials are available. While the lunch specials are an excellent deal -- around $5, as of December 2010 -- don't forget to bring cash or you will get stuck with a credit card fee. Some of the popular dishes served are dokbokki and champong noodles.
