Great experience overall. The restaurant is comfortable, the service is efficient, and the food quality is good for the price. A nice spot to stop by when you’re in the area.
If you want authentic Japanese food at a reasonable price, this is one of the best you can find in Manhattan. From the service to the food quality, everything was 10/10. We had teishoku as we were hungry. One main dish plus small plates and real soba noodles (udon option is also available). We cannot wait to go back and try other food items they offer.
East Japanese Restaurant has a really welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly from the moment we walked in, and the food was fresh and nicely presented. Definitely worth coming back to.

East Japanese Restaurant is a hidden gem known for its exceptional value and high-quality food. Guests appreciate the calming atmosphere and beautiful decor, which enhances the dining experience. The attentive and friendly staff, many of whom are Japanese, contribute to a welcoming environment where customers feel cared for.
The menu offers a variety of options, including set meals and a handroll bar with choices like tonkatsu teishoku and the highly praised toro handroll. For $28, diners enjoy a protein, two small handrolls, a bowl of noodles (hot or cold udon/soba), and unlimited seasonal sides. The generous portions and all-you-can-eat sides like rice make it an attractive choice for those seeking a balanced meal without breaking the bank.
While the flavors are described as standard for Japanese cuisine, the overall quality and presentation shine. Many consider East the best bang for their buck among authentic Japanese restaurants in New York City. Customers often leave satisfied, recommending it for both lunch breaks and dinner. The restaurant is particularly praised for its mochi ice cream, providing a delightful ending to a well-rounded meal.
