Ordered some food via DoorDash. Received the pho ingredients but no pho broth. Literally can’t even eat it, unfortunately. Appalled and frustrating.
Drink special was nice . Food wasn’t so great . Order the large pho , hardly any meat and pho . Didn’t fill me
Great food great pool

We came for the music show. The staff were really kind to us, and made us feel welcome. There was also a kareoke room that was neat.
I have peeked at the menu online, and note there are not really any vegetarian options.
Told the bartender it was my first time at Far East. I was already crushing on her. There's no way she doesn't already have a lover. She was definitely running the show there, and the #25 Pho she served was perf.

Pho is always decent and same with the fried rice. Do not trust the oysters.

I went to an amazing show there last night, only to find my phones camera is fried this morning from the lasers that they had there. Then talking to friends today found out 2 other people had their phones cameras fried too and a photographer that was there had his camera damaged from the lasers.
This is really dangerous because these lasers can damage eye sight permanently. Luckily it was just my phone. (Although I'm not happy about the $200+ deductable I'm now going to have to pay.)
So other than that, the show was awesome, the music was great, the food and drinks were good and the people there were cool.
We were charged different prices for the same drinks but it wasn't a big deal. I just really hope that they fix their laser/light system, because it is pretty dangerous the way they are currently set up (fall 2024)

Food was ok, service was good at the start but never came back to check in to see if we needed anything else after we got our food, the atmosphere was not so clean.

My bf and I really enjoyed this place before the renovation. We were excited to go back after they reopened but the service and food didn’t meet expectations. We enter through the bar for the restaurant and there were no directions (do we wait for server to sit us or do we sit ourselves). So we ended up asking someone at the bar and it was the waiter. We sat for about 15 mins and had to get back up to tell the waiter that we were ready to order ??♀️ He said he forgot about us. The food was okay but didn’t taste fresh and made us both have diarrhea the next day. I don’t think I will return and do not recommend this place

Pad thai and fried rice was good, could've been a little better, but I was okay with it. Oddly enough they don't serve egg rolls. I'm sure if they did they'd be really good.

Far east has been closed for a while now and just recently opened again. We’ve been trying to go but every time we go, they were closed. We finally got a chance to go after checking their hours on FB. There was no clear indicator of where the new entrance is. Services were extremely slow, stood around for a few minutes before we were even approached for a seat. Had my kids with me but was told they did not have any high chairs available. When we got to our seat, we waited for a menu and the waiter brought us our waters fairly quickly and left. When waiter came back and asked if we were ready to order (we said we didn’t get a menu yet, was told that the menu was a QR code (the water was on top of it so we didn’t see). The menu is small (which is fine) but still took the waiter 5+ mins to come back to take our order. There were only 2 other tables and they were already taken care of. Pho took 10 mins to get to us and chicken wings took 15 mins. Overall, the food was okay, I ordered the oxtail pho and the oxtail was smaller than what it used to be. The flavoring use to be better, the broth tasted water down.
I’m a big fan of their spicy pork belly eggplants, but there are days when they served old food because the porkbelly is tough to chew which made me bit the inside of my mouth. Now I remembered why I stopped ordering from the place 4 years ago.
