" I can't wait to share my thoughts about East Side King! My friends and I tried several different dishes, and each one was remarkable. The cheesecakes were divine! Parking is a bit of a hassle since it's at the food court, but once you are in, the vibe is worth the trouble. Our only complaint was the wait time was a bit longer than expected. However, the food was exceptional enough to make up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t know what people are talking about when they say the service is bad. My experience was nothing but good! Fast service with friendly staff. The maki rolls were delightful and made fresh right in front of me. The only downside was that the place was a little hectic during dinner time, but that just adds to the charm in my opinion. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to stop by for lunch and was generally pleased! The variety on the menu is remarkable! I had the chicken katsu bowl and it totally hit the spot; super crunchy and flavorful. As for the service, it was a little chaotic, but I believe they’re still getting settled into their new setup. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, the East Side King experience was a mixed bag. I had their fried dumplings, which were really good and crispy, but the sushi rolls did not live up to the hype. They were quite flavorless, and I felt dissatisfied after eating. Service was decent but nothing exceptional. The ambiance was nice; I'd definitely go back for those dumplings, but skip the sushi next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last week and ordered the Chef's special. I was eager, but it turned out to be a letdown. The flavors didn't mesh well, and the quality fell flat. While the front-of-house staff was doing their best, it just wasn't enough to make my experience a pleasant one. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was positive overall. The ambiance was lively, and I enjoyed the fried gyoza. Really nice crispy texture. The staff was friendly, however, one could tell they were a bit inexperienced. I would like to see them educated on the menu to improve service delivery. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was truly disappointed with my recent visit to East Side King. The sushi lacked flavor, which was surprising given the hype surrounding the place. Furthermore, my waiter seemed uninterested. I wanted to love it but found just ok options for the prices I expected to be higher quality. " (*Curated Review*)
