Tonight was the 1st time my buddy and I tried this place.My buddy and I try to hit new restaurants each weekend when possible. We have probably tried 25 Chinese restaurants and my finding have been only 1 is consistently good that is Shanghai Garden Downtown. There are several that are good 3 out of 5 times and a few. are just nasty. This place is super Clean, staff are on the job food came reasonably quick, hot and fresh. We ordered the House Chow Mein - Very flavorful with large shrimp Garlic Chicken- sauce was silky with flawless flavor General Tso Chicken- Again a silky spicy sauce that leaves your tongue urning for more Pork Fried Rice- Clean and flavorful with perfect balance, texture Not greasy and a twist I've never seen in Fried rice ( bean sprouts ) excellent touch. Hot & Sour soup my buddy described as the best Hot & Sour he has ever had Won Ton Soup full of flavor Egg Roll - excellent flavor all by itself but dipped in Chineae Mustard a must try Yes we ourself have cooked professionally for over 30 years ourselves so giving a 5 star rating does not come easy. YOU MUST TRY THIs PLACE My buddy wanted to find fault in this restaurant but had to say it was one of the best we have tried hands down...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy family and I have been going here for years. We made our 1st visit during their grand opening several years ago. Susan was our 1st waitress and has our kids 16, 13, & 11 names and she reminds us that she can't believe how big they are and how she remembers them through the years.
The food here is really good. We have our favorites. Our youngest loves the soup. Everyone loves the Salt and Pepper Chicken. All the rice dishes are perfectly prepared. We all love the combo meals that come with individual grilling Sichuan Beef on sticks.
We have brought family and friends here over the years. It's one place that many want to revisit again and again when they come to town. I highly recommend East Side Chef...
