Reviews for The East Asian Cuisine in Great Barrington, MA
The employees were extremely passionate about their job. They treated all customers very kindly and put a smile on their faces.... Service was fast. The food had a lot of flavor at a great price. There were many options for vegetarians and vegans. Servingsizes were perfect as well. The interior design was aesthetic and calming. Highly recommend 10/10! Read more
I have been to The East 4 times in the last year. Only one of which did I get good service. The only reason I am giving them 3... stars is because their food is very good and they have a large menu to choose from. The service, however, is the exact opposite.The three times we saw our waitor in the hour we were there seemed very rushed. He kinda tossed things at us like he was tryingto do it quickly so he could walk away. We asked for drink refills and after 15 minutes of waiting for them had to go up to thecounter and ask for them. There was another table that was a party of 2 (we being a party of 5 that was there 10 minutes prior)that got waited on immediately after us, and got their food and drinks faster than we did. They got their main dishes before wegot our appetizers. He was the only person waiting in the whole restaurant but there were only 3 tables to wait on. I donttypically like leaving bad reviews. Their food is very good. If you do go here I highly recommend their honey walnut shrimp,although I substitute their normal sauce for their general tso's sauce. The teriyaki beef is amazing. The food in general alwayscomes out good. I just wish the service would match. Read more
I love this place. Went there for lunch with my bf and friend and it was quiet and the food was great! Our server was great, he... chatted with us and made us feel welcomed. Definitely going back. Read more
Would give 3.5. Nice large and comfortable restaurant. Attentive staff. Vegetable tempura had rather thick coating instead of... the usual light batter. And the dipping sauce wasn?t the typical flavor and could have used some shredded daikon to help cut theoilyness. Spicy maki rolls had a unusual amount of crunchiness, possibly due to a lot of sesame seeds or use of some friedtempura batter bits. Supposed to be 3 different fish for 3 rolls but they all tasted the same. Possibly trying to cover too manyAsian cuisines under 1 roof. Read more
The vegetable Lo mein from here is so good that sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it. Seriously, big... fan. The broccoli is cooked perfectly and the noddles are amazing. Service is also good, fast, and the atmosphere is nice.Restaurant is very clean and has never been too busy when I?ve gone. The fortune cookies are usually stale but that?s the onlydownside I?ve ever noted so far. Read more
OK good, but the taste is very bland. Even the hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour :)
Average Asian restaurant. Some Tide dishes some Japanese dishes and some traditional Chinese dishes. The food was good. I... wouldn't say great it was good. They also had some specialty cocktail drinks that were nice. The wait staff was good and apleasure to deal with. Read more
Our first time to this restaurant last night with my family. We decided to give this place a try since our usual Asian... restaurant unfortunately was closed. East Asian Cuisine has lots of variety, which not a bad thing especially we have a largegroup with kids & adults. We?re foodies, growing up in the restaurant biz, we tend to be a bit critical. We were pleasantlysurprised this place food and services was very good! We ordered some of appetizers, soups, sushi rolls, many Chinese / Thaientrees & sake. The waiter that served us was very friendly and attentive, and the portions was good and quality of the disheswere very fresh and quite tasty. Not over priced at all, good value for what they served. When we come back to the area nexttime we?ll sure be back! Thank you East Asian Cuisine for a great meal. See you next time! Read more
