" If you're looking for authentic Chinese food, look elsewhere. The flavors seem diluted, and it feels like they're trying to cater to Western tastes. During my visit, the service was surprisingly indifferent, which ruined my dining experience. I had the Mongolian beef, and honestly, I've had better at many local diners. I'll stick to my favorites in town from now on, just not impressed with what I experienced here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, East China is nothing to write home about. My experience on multiple occasions has been underwhelming. The fried rice was bland, and the shrimp were overcooked. It's frustrating because I've had homemade Chinese food that rivals what they offer here. I wish they would take their food preparation more seriously and engage with their customers more effectively. If you're looking just to fill your stomach, then it might suffice, but if you want real Chinese flavor, look elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had both good and bad experiences here. The first few times, I couldn’t complain about the flavors—my Kung Pao chicken was spicy and fragrant. Unfortunately, more recent visits resulted in bland tasting dishes that felt like they were missing key ingredients. I’ve also experienced long waits with incorrect orders being given, which really tarnishes the overall impression. However, they do have some of the best crab rangoon around, which is why I’ve kept visiting. If they could find a balance with the flavor consistency, I believe they'd win back more loyal customers. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a long-time customer who recently celebrated my birthday at East China with my friends. They were shocked to discover how great the food was during this visit! We shared a variety of dishes, including the bourbon chicken and lo mein, which were all delicious and portioned generously. The service was quite friendly, even though they struggled to keep up during the dinner rush. The restaurant’s cleanliness was also appreciated. Overall, a delightful experience, but I hope they maintain the authenticity moving forward! " (*Curated Review*)

" East China has always been an average spot for me. I've never had anything that outright disgusts me, but I've also never had anything that truly excites my palate either. The food tends to be overcooked at times, particularly the rice. It's great that they have a wide selection, but I find myself just always going back to the basic sweet and sour chicken. Service is friendly but can be really slow on busier days. " (*Curated Review*)

" East China has a charm of its own. I was drawn in by the warm smiles of the staff and the tasteful decor that reflects traditional Chinese cuisine. I ordered the honey chicken and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had! The sweetness was balanced beautifully, and it came with a generous serving of rice. The service was quick and attentive, and although the restaurant could use a little more buzz in the atmosphere, the cleanliness cannot be overstated! I left with a smile and the intention to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I like to enjoy my meals at East China, especially their crab rangoon and fried rice. I have never had a bad experience there until recently when they forgot my order! It did take a while for someone to care and look into the mix-up. That aside, the food is consistently good, and I love their takeout options. The staff could improve, but the food keeps me coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
