China East Restaurant — Restaurant in Douglasville

I just moved to Douglasville and have been considering China East for a bit, but wanted to get more accustomed to driving in that area. So, tonight I finally placed an order. It was clean and quiet when I went inside. The kitchen looked very nice, you can see it from the counter. When I was approached about my order, the lady was extremely sweet and my order was ready several minutes before the time indicated.

I wish I had been able to leave a tip, but I didn't have the money at the time. However, I intend to next time!

The food is great. I'm picky about Chinese food, but this was quite nice. I'm not sure why anyone complains about the rice. It's yellow FRIED rice, guys! Have you not heard of yellow fried rice? And it's delicious. I actually prefer it over any other fried rice I've had at other places. The pork and veggies in it were fresh. The rice was perfectly cooked. (Please don't change your recipe!)

I also had the sweet and sour chicken. It was fresh, not tough at all, and wonderful. Sure, they don't put pounds of meat into their batter (at the guys who keep complaining about that) but I thought it was a fair amount of chicken and it went so well with the sweet and sour sauce.

I'm excited to come back for another visit! Thanks, everyone at China East for making my dinner worthwhile tonight! I've already spread the words to my family to also...

• If I could give NEGATIVE stars I would!! * I ordered my food 15 minutes prior to arriving at the restaurant to pick it up. I waited an HOUR sitting in the restaurant, watching six different people leave with their orders before me - two of which ordered while I was still waiting. The lady kept saying "Yes I know your order". Clearly she did not because my food had been sitting on the counter for thirty minutes while I watched her answer phones, give other people their orders, take some orders, cook some food and bag some more orders.
• THE FOOD HAD BEEN SITTING ON THE COUNTER FOR HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THE WOMAN REALIZED I WAS STILL WAITING AND FINALLY GAVE ME MY FOOD* I am writing the review because it is RIDICULOUS to have customers waiting over an hour for food that takes 10 to 15 minutes (at most!) to cook. I will not be eating there ever again. The food's not...

First visited last week and was disappointed. The service and prices were good. The food was probably the worst Chinese I have ever had. I got the sesame chicken combo with pork fried rice and a vegetable egg roll. The chicken was crispy but had some rubbery parts, plus the sauce was completely flavorless. Sticky and shiny but not sweet at all.

The fried rice just tasted like overcooked pork. Even the eggroll was bad -- just old tasting cabbage. Very little flavor at all in anything. I even tried dumping soy sauce on everything to make it edible but it didn't work. I ate maybe half the chicken and ditched the rest. The search for decent Chinese around...
