We went here since it was close to our house and also because of other positive reviews on Yelp. There were plenty of parking spaces as it was situated in a shopping plaza. The decor was nice with Chinese prints on the walls. The place was clean and comfortable with several rooms for seating. Despite several customers, the place was quiet. The staff were friendly and quick to serve us. We chose the beef and vegetables platter that included rice and vegetables. The prices were reasonable. The food temp could have been warmer though. We will definitely come back.

Always consistently good food and service. We usually just get take out but dining in is always a great experience as well. Came for lunch with a group of friends and was very happy all around. Everyone enjoyed their entrees and we had a great time.

My mother and I have been coming here since I was a little girl, and the service has always been stellar!! My mom recently had surgery and the only thing she wanted was some of your Combo pan fried noodles! They were perfect, even ordering them to go. Everything was delicious, hot, fresh, and great portion size! We got the cheese wontons, wonton and egg drop soup, and the pan fried noodles were large enough for us to share! It came with a huge portion of steamed rice! Thank you East Café for always being consistent, your customer service is unmatched, we will always be your loyal customers!

Surprisingly, I enjoyed my meal t this restaurant. First impression was that it felt very authentic and cozy. Loudness of the restaurant was medium due to multiple parties talking at the same time but nothing too loud. Service was great. As soon as I arrived I was seated within seconds. I was then asked if I would like anything to drink and served water within the next 10 seconds by a second worker. The lady gave me approximately 5 minutes or less to decide on what to eat before coming to take my order. The soup came out first and it was hot. I loved the overall flavor because it was neither too hot nor too sour. Just the perfect balance. The entree came out within 5-10 minutes afterwards and it was also piping hot. I started off with the egg roll. It wasn't extremely hot but still delicious. The entree itself was tasty as well since it was a good balance of meat and plenty of vegetables. I would love to come back here again and try their egg drop soup and other entrees as well. It's a good bang for your buck with tips included the total comes out around $15 for lunch pricing.

This is our go to when the family travels from Ft Collins for a family gathering. The staff and restaurant is very family friendly. Heck they have lots of patience especially with our crew. Ha. Three toddlers boys and a baby boy. I love how they have lunch portions until 4pm thank god. I hate to see their dinner portions. As it is we have to box it up for a later meal. The food always comes out hot and tasty. I've never gone in where there is a dirty table. Definitely recommend this establishment.

One of my personal favorite highlights was the stir-fried tofu with seasonal vegetables, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of sauce to elevate the natural flavors. The flavors were expertly balanced, showcasing how simplicity in ingredients can yield gratifying results. Each bite was a reminder of the depth that a true chef can impart in a single dish.
