" I experienced a great time at Far East. The food was delicious, particularly the curries. The service was exceptional; the owners always look after their customers. The restaurant has a simple yet cozy ambiance that adds to the familiarity. My only issue would be the slightly smaller portions than expected. Regardless, I'm looking forward to dining here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I have been frequenting Far East for several years, and I can confidently say it’s our favorite restaurant in Olympia! The owners treat us like family every time we visit. The orange chicken is always tender and bursting with flavor, while the pad thai is simply the best I've had in a long time. I appreciate how clean and cozy the atmosphere is, making it perfect for a family dinner. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and stop by; you won't be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried various Asian restaurants, Far East easily stands out for its authentic flavors! The spicy garlic chicken paired beautifully with the sauce. The cozy atmosphere made for a great dining experience; the staff were attentive and friendly. My only complaint is the quantity of certain dishes; they could be a little more generous with the proteins or sides. However, I still rate this place as top-tier in Olympia! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere here is warm and inviting, with the decor reflecting the cultural essence of the food served. You can tell that the owners are very passionate about what they do. I particularly enjoyed the Singapore fried rice, which was packed with flavor. The only thing I found lacking was the veggie portion; I wish there had been more variety! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, the food at Far East never disappoints. The curry is rich and flavorful, and the portions are generous. The service is top-notch, with the owner often checking in to make sure everything is to our liking. The only downside is the wait time during peak hours can be a bit long, but the quality makes it worth it. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for solid Asian food! " (*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*)
