East China Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Aurora

AVOID THIS PLACE:

We ordered dinner on Christmas at 5 PM and were given an estimated delivery time of 6 PM. I called at 6:05 and was told that my order hasn't been put in the kitchen, but will be put to the front of the line and ready soon. I called again at 650 and was told I lived too far to deliver (despite being 10 minutes away and smack in the middle of their delivery range) but I could come in 20 minutes to pick it up. I got there 30 minutes later, waited on line for 15 minutes and was told they needed 15-20 more minutes to finish my order. All said and done, it took over 3 hours and people who had called their orders in around 630 PM (by their own admission) were getting their orders before me. Either way, I was upset but really excited to finally eat dinner.

When we got home, we opened the three vegan dishes and beef dish we ordered. All 3 of the vegan dishes were completely inedible. This is coming from someone who has a few times accidentally drank spoiled milk and couldn't tell it was rancid. The texture of the vegan chicken was rubbery, tasted like trash, and looked like a badly made fake hot dog. Each piece squeaked with every bite and induced gagging due to the insanely bad combination of taste and texture. The beef dish wasn't much better but at least it didn't cause us to almost vomit (which is a very low bar to pass...). Save yourself the time and money (this place is not cheap at all) and go somewhere else....

2024 Update: A far cry from my last taste/review years ago. Can't even remember when I went there. First and last to-go THEN.

This visit was with other ladies who chose to come here. I was a bit skeptical but, I have to admit, a 180degree change in my opinion. The food was 👍 I had the Black Pepper Beef with Egg Drop soup and it was very good. Others had other menu items and all were very satisfied with their food.

We were attended to by a male server who was very pleasant, friendly and was quick to serve our order.

Will now consider return visits.

Original Review Price vs portion size, ok. Unfortunately, have other Asian restaurants that I patronize and the food we got here is sub-par in terms of flavors and taste. The Egg Fooyong was the biggest disappointment with the vegetables/sauce all over the egg. I guess, we prefer the serving done with the egg separate from the veggies/sauce. Overall, all dishes (4) we ordered rated a 2.5 in terms of flavors/taste. Rounding...

I have been an always satisfied customer UNTIL today 6/19/17 . I ordered the vegetable soup, which was over powered with mushrooms, vegetable lowmein which was very soggy noodles with strange vegs. The food was on on the outside of the container. Then to add something special I ordered sweet and sour shrimp??? The shrimp was really OVER COOKED tough and the vegs were burnt on the edges. Did I miss something? This was not the expected good meal I am used to getting from this eatery. Did You sell out? Are you on vacation? The frieir needs to have to eat the next batch of fried shrimp.. If you are on vacation just close instead of sending out strange food cooked by someone who does not know how to fry tempura shrimp!!! I will probably try this again with the hopes someone on the management end reads this review.. I know it isn't easy to satisfy everyone but before today I was always pleased with the food and the price. ...
