" I can't believe I wasted my money at East Cafe. The shrimp egg foo young was clearly pre-made and had no flavor. The staff didn't seem to care when I mentioned my dissatisfaction. The dining area was cluttered and unwelcoming. I left feeling nauseated and won’t be returning. It’s disappointing to see a restaurant that could be good falling so short. Save your money, folks! " (*Curated Review*)

" The takeout from East Cafe was the worst I’ve encountered in a long time. The general tso's chicken arrived cold and soggy. I was hopeful after hearing some good things, but this was a total letdown. The price wasn’t worth the quality I received. I won’t be coming back any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I first went to East Cafe because I heard their dumplings were good but was sorely mistaken. The dumplings were tough and tasted like they were frozen and reheated. The service was nice enough but didn’t do much to uplift my overall experience. I’ve had much better dumplings elsewhere, unfortunately. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to try East Cafe after hearing mixed reviews, and we left feeling dissatisfied. The chicken and broccoli lacked flavor and the rice was dry. Staff members were polite, but it didn’t make up for the food. To say it was underwhelming would be an understatement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe this restaurant is still in business. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and could barely see the chicken amid the mountains of gelatinous sauce. It was sweet to the point of being sickening. Nice people behind the counter, but the quality of food simply does not match the service or price. I would give it a solid ‘no’ from me.

" Visited East Cafe for dinner with a friend, and it was a mixed experience. The sesame chicken was fine, though not very authentic. The service was attentive but the atmosphere felt a bit off, with clutter all around. I appreciated the quick service but the overall meal lacks that homemade taste I was hoping for. I may consider returning, but only if in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stopped by East Cafe when I was in the area, but I regretted it. The general tso chicken had no spices and tasted more like sweet fried chicken. The dining space felt neglected and uninviting, which made the experience even worse. I wouldn’t come back here again, and I wouldn’t suggest it. " (*Curated Review*)
