Good East Carry Out — Restaurant in Maryland

Not going to lie..I was going to sit on this review..but I hate gatekeepers..so let’s get into it!

I’m not sure why this place is rated so low…because I have received nothing but delicious eats from here! I heard about this carry out from a friend. It says a lot because WE DO NOT EAT DIRTY, GREASY CARRY-OUT. I understand carry out is not a culinary phenomenon..but WE AT LEAST try to eat at good hood ones. This is one! The steak and cheese are so bomb! Meat is always falling out just bc there is so much! The shaved steak isn’t super fatty like other places are. The Chinese food..delicious! The shrimp in the shrimp and broccoli is clean! Shrimp basket shrimp..clean! (No poop veins). Steak and Cheese egg roll…NOT GREASY! I haven’t had the wings yet..but judging by their Mumbo sauce..I know it’ll hit. Don’t be fooled on the outside..the steps are a little wonky..but it’s all good.If you must order carry out ..order Good East.

*the owner usually has her kids (older boy and young girl) behind the counter..be kind and gentle with them. ☺️

Will upload pictures next time..I ALWAYS dog the food before I can...

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I wish I could give this place zero stars!

I ordered my food with no problems. The driver arrives, calls me and asks me where I'm located. I tell him where. After waiting for some time I call back to find out if he was close. He says that I need to come outside because they don't deliver to the door. Excuse me?? I stood at my door, waiting for him to walk up, nothing. He replies "what you going to do, do you want the food or not?" I hang up, call the store and they inform me that its their policy not to deliver to store.

Here's my issue: you choose to open a business in "urban area" to make LOTS of money off of the "urban community." So what that means is you have to deal with what comes with the territory. If these people are too afraid to deliver to "urban people" then they need to open their businesses in a different neighborhood. ...

Well, where do I even start? Imagine if your taste buds had a nightmare, and the villain of that dream was a microwave. That was my dinner at Good East. The food was so bad, I considered sending it to the moon just to give it a second chance at life.

I ordered the teriyaki chicken, and when it arrived, I thought it was a science experiment gone wrong. The ingredient looked like it had been through a divorce and didn’t get the kids. The sauce was so mysterious, I honestly wondered if it was trying to hide from me.

I can honestly say I was hungrier than before I ate, mostly because I spent half the meal trying to figure out what I just ate. Would I recommend it? Only if you’re in the market for a culinary adventure that feels like a game of 'Guess the Mystery Meat.' 10/10 would...
