" East Cafe was a huge disappointment after hearing enough buzz about it. The egg drop soup was tasteless, and the chicken pieces in my entree were dry. It felt like the meal was just slapped together. While the staff did their job, the food quality was lackluster at best. Seems like I’ll be seeking other restaurants in the neighborhood. " (*Curated Review*)

" Even though I’ve gone to East Cafe for years, my last visit was the final straw. The chicken in my soup was gray and unappealing, and the egg rolls tasted stale. I had always believed this place would be good, but it’s become mediocre at best. I truly hope they can turn it around, but I’m not holding my breath. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried East Cafe for the first time after seeing decent reviews on a food forum. I ordered the vegetable dumplings expecting something fresh and flavorful. To my surprise, they were mostly doughy with very little filling. The service was friendly, but the food was just not up to par. I've had better takeout from places that don't even specialize in Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has always enjoyed East Cafe, but today was a real letdown. The sweet and sour chicken tasted overly processed and lacked flavor. Additionally, the helpings were not very generous. Service was polite, but that doesn’t make up for the disappointing food experience. I wish this place would get back to its roots. " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon setting foot in East Cafe, I felt a bit nostalgic, but that quickly faded after I tasted the food. The egg rolls were small and unimpressive, and the chicken tasted like it was pre-cooked. Though the lady at the counter was lovely, the food just didn't hit the mark. I had been looking for quality Chinese cuisine in Dunkirk, but I think I need to keep looking. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
