About this restaurant

East Restaurant serves classic and contemporary Chinese cuisine with a twist of Malaysian flavors and inspiration. The interior of the restaurant is decorated beautifully with floral murals and Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Vibrant reds and greens are the dominant colors and serve to create a bright, welcoming atmosphere. East is extremely accommodating as well, offering dine-in, takeout and delivery options. While guests will find many staples of oriental cooking on the menu like spring rolls and pad Thai, there are also many dishes unique to East. A great example of this is the Japanese fish and chips, which are panko breaded and topped with a togarashi deviled egg tartar and cucumber slaw along with some house cut fries. Another wonderful fusion entree is the hoisin chicken and Thai grilled fettuccine with chili peppers, cilantro cream sauce and brussels sprouts.

    A table of five and we ordered different dishes to share. Waitress offered suggestions and advice. Food was excellent and fresh. Quantity was more than sufficient. Waitress was great and helpful. Overall a great experience. Restaurant and washrooms were clean and tidy.

    My first impressions of this place has mixed feelings. I stood at the door for about five minutes when the restaurant was empty, with the exception of two tables. One lady sat by herself at the corner table, who turned out to be the server. She had made eye contact with me earlier and then look back down at her iPad. It was awkward as I stood there not knowing if I shall self seat or let these other diners look at me stand there. Finally she came over and seat me after what seemed to be too long. The rest of the evening was fine and food was delicious.

    This was our first visit to East and we found the food and staff to be excellent. The server was there when we needed her but let us dine in peace - just checking the right amount regarding food quality and refills for drinks, etc.

    Good food, love the server, the dishes encourage sharing. I go to East several times a year for business lunches and dinners and my guests have always been very happy. I Have taken my primary school age daughter many times as well. If your child is adventurous with food this is a great place to introduce new foods.

    My wife and I decided to go out to East for a dinner while the kids were being babysat by the inlaws. East was within walking distance, so we took advantage of the beautiful evening to walk to this nondescript restaurant tucked in behind the Tim Horton's on 97st. The food we ordered was excellent - ginger beef that was "melt in your mouth" (I had no idea beef could do that) and our server recommended some shrimp/noodle dishes that were spicy but still flavourful. Absolutely would go back. The only downside is that the restaurant seemed a little too empty. It made me worry that they might go out of business, but perhaps it was just a quiet night when we arrived.

    The ambiance was quite nice and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The menu is great as you can see a picture of what you are about to order. Food was very tasty and the presentation was very well done.
