" Far East is simple, cozy, and absolutely delightful. After hearing so many great things, I finally decided to stop by and try their famous orange chicken, and it did not disappoint! It was juicy and very well-seasoned. Service was attentive and friendly, though the portions were smaller than what I expected for a typical restaurant, which made me a bit wary at first. I still enjoyed my visit immensely! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a great spot that I always recommend to friends! Far East has a lovely atmosphere and delicious food with an authentic touch. I particularly enjoyed the patio, which added to the dining experience. The only downside is that I would prefer a little more variety in the portion sizes, as they can tend to be on the smaller side. Nonetheless, it's one of my favorite places in Olympia! " (*Curated Review*)

" This has become my favorite lunch spot! The menu offers a great variety, and everything is made fresh. We tried their special fried rice, and it was packed with flavor! The only downside was that the lunch rush can make service a bit slower, but the quality of the food is always worth the wait. I love the cozy setup, just right for a casual family outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I couldn't wait to try this place after hearing all the great reviews, and I wasn't disappointed! The food was amazing—authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. I specifically loved the peanut sauce they provided. My only qualm was that the restaurant is quite small, and it can get a bit crowded. I still plan on returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful dining experience! The service is top-notch, and the owners are sweet and welcoming. Every dish I've tried has been delicious, especially the garlic chicken and the orange chicken. I will say the portion sizes could definitely improve. Overall, I look forward to returning and trying more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Far East quite some time ago, and it still tops my list for a cozy dining experience. The food was fresh, and the service felt personal and caring.I loved the variety on the menu, but I felt some of the portions were rather small, particularly for heavier eaters. Regardless, I would recommend this little spot to anyone seeking a warm atmosphere and authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Far East has been my go-to place for good Asian food for years. The owners always give a warm welcome, and the chicken curry is consistently delicious. I will say, though, that the rice portions could be larger. Overall, though, I love coming here, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for solid Asian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
