$8.95 for raw dumplings? I ordered the Szechuan dumplings and they were doughy and mushy. Even pan frying them really didn’t save them (pic included just as I started). The Szechuan beef and chicken were mostly just carrots. BBQ spare ribs were dry and chewy

My wife and I had our first visit this past week, and we were extremely pleased. The food was exceptional, some of the best I've had in decades. Wait staff was punctual and professionally unobtrusive. Perfect experience!

As I have mentioned in the past (harp on even), dining out is about food AND vibes. The best thing I can say regarding the vibe at East Asian Cuisine is: bring your own. Because, WOW. Situation here is dire my friends. The woman at the host stand probably should consider a line of work other than one where you deal with the public. YIKES.
I arrived at about 1:30pm on a Wednesday, which is an “odd,” in between time. All I’m going to say is that East Asian Cuisine might want to consider taking a little time out between lunch and dinner service. Might potentially boost morale…
Anyhoo, there was a deserted, empty bar beside a dark and closed up sushi bar on the wall beyond the unwelcoming host stand. The TV was on at the bar, so I asked if I could sit there. No. Epically unhappy host began leading me across the large, center dining room, which had ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF, to a row of booths along the opposite wall, where the lights were on, but not all the way up. Very dark. But! The front wall is all windows. Host began leading back into the darkest bowels, away from the windows and the light. I asked to sit near the windows where there was some light.
Oh. Wait. I forgot to mention that there were 2 other diners in the entire place. Multiple empty booths at the window…
She begrudgingly sat me at a booth with actual, natural light.
The menu is huge and has sushi and Japanese kitchen items, plus all the American Chinese food. Which is what I was there for! There are also lunch specials.
I decided to order two full sized items: Shrimp Pan Fried Noodles (mostly there are not really any descriptions on the menu, so I asked if it had veggies in it, my waiter assured me it did) and Eggplant with Garlic Sauce. Because I couldn’t resist. I. Love Eggplant.
Okay, legit? Portions are enormous. And I know from huge portions. LOL Snaps to my waiter for not trying to dissuade me from ordering way too much food. It is 100% my god given right as an American to over order when I dine out. Also definitely a personal goal of mine. Every time.
Food is GOOD here. Veggies are all fresh and perfectly cooked. Shrimp were HUGE and also perfectly cooked. The Eggplant was DELICIOUS.
Once you’ve got high quality ingredients (which they DO here with what I had!) the thing about Chinese American food is the sauces. Your sauces need to be delicious. I only had two, the Garlic Sauce (definitely delicious) and the sauce on the pan fried noodles (I’m not sure what it’s called, but it’s more on the sweet side). My only criticism is the sheer volume of sauce on those noodles. It was BONKERS. LOL The noodles were excellent, but they’re fried crispy and then someone poured like half a gallon of sauce on them, so they were swimming and losing the crispy. Which forced me to eat them as fast as I possibly could. Honestly not the best approach. Still fun tho.
Obviously, maybe, I could not finish the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce at lunch. But I did about 6 hours later at my kitchen island…

Sadly the food quality has gone way downhill while the prices went way up! $25 for a small container of slimy beef, some vegetables and pineapple. Not at all what the description said we would get. The fried food was chewy and $9 for 5 dumplings is too much. They also charge a $3 CC Fee now. We’ll just order from the other places since there’s no difference in quality now.

The smallest container you can possibly get makes it so difficult. The food is great but not the amount you get. It's priced more then everyone else and you get less... you could charge a dollar or 2 more and give larger portions and get a 5 star rating.. instead you get a low rating for amount you get....

One of the excellent general tao that I have eaten. Crispy chicken, firm vegetables, just spicy enough, all in a beautiful presentation. Very attentive service.
Parking: Huge parking lot in front of the restaurant.

Had the beef chow fun. It was exquisite!
It had a quiet, cozy atmosphere. The booths were comfortable, and the servers were attentive. The food was top-notch, and the Pu-Pu Platter came with a tiny aluminum foil grill. The prices were fair and reasonable. It's a great place for a date.
