Reviews for Eastern Carryout in Richmond, VA
honestly, don't eat here. You may see those 5 star reviews thrown in here and there and I can almost guarantee they've been... paid by the restaurant to write those reviews. We spent $70 for two people (delivery fee), and unfortunately for us we didn'tread the reviews before ordering. It was semi-edible. The dumplings were for sure frozen, they looked black on the inside andhad freezer burn. I'm not sure the chicken was actually chicken? It seemed more like McDonald's chicken nuggets-style. It hadsome flavor, but we threw the rest of our order away because it was just not edible. Someone wrote that the chicken was 98%breading, and they weren't wrong. The food was indeed mushy, someone else wrote that. The rice was undercooked and crunchy. Ikept getting really chewy and crunchy (not in the good way) pieces of "chicken", and the bites that suddenly don't taste likechicken. It didn't even look like chicken. I don't really write reviews for places, but please please please listen to these 1star reviews and do. not. order from here. Today is the day after I ate from this place, and I really feel ill. My stomach hasbeen hurting all night and all day today. Save yourself and your wallet, this place ain't worth it. Read more
I used to eat here all the time, they used to be good, but apparently there was a change in ownership and/or recipes. Food is... not the same, very bland and gross Read more
I was craving beef and broccoli. I am 1000.999% sure that what I received was not beef. It was gelatinous, soft, chewy, and... wouldn't break down enough to swallow. It wasn't the texture of beef or beef fat. I rinsed several pieces in the sink and thatconfirmed it wasn't beef or even a cheap cut of beef. I'm not a picky eater. This was not just unacceptable, it wasquestionable, and I felt worse than robbed because I consumed some of it in the process of figuring it out. I will never eatthere again and it's going to be a while before I eat Chinese food again...thanks to Eastern Carryout. Read more
Mushy and EXTREMELY sweet????. Had to throw it all away. What a waste! Place should be shut down! The sesame “chicken” was... like 98% breading! Read more
Very disappointing the General Tso Chicken tasted like it was not freshly cooked…you could not taste no chicken just batter.... Paid extra for pork fried rice you could barely see the pork look like it was shaved. This place was good but now I do notrecommend it. Do not waste your money. Read more
Wow. I have had bad Chinese food but this tops them all. Nothing was good. General Tao’ Chicken was soft and chewy. Vegetable... rolls were rancid. Rice wasn’t good. Unfortunately, I don’t recommend this place. Read more
I ordered vegetable fried rice and frankly it should be called broccoli fried rice with onions. No carrots or peas. For $10 I... would expect more variety. Moo shu was good what they give you as pancake is useless. Crab Rangoon is very good. I will go backbut for the crab Rangoon and not much else. Read more
Honestly very good food for the price. I've never had my order delivered wrong or cold; the staff is very nice when you order... over the phone. Read more
