East Gourmet

I was scared to eat here after reading some of the reviews, but I tried it anyways. I got the sesame seed chicken with fried rice, no pork and no peas. I really liked the chicken. The rice resembled more of a Spanish rice than a Chinese rice, but it was still good.

I wanted to give this place hope since they are on the cheaper end of local Chinese American spots. But I should have prepared myself for the meal I was about to receive... Prior reviews left me wondering if I was about to have a good experience or a not so pleasant one. I can honestly say that East Gourmet delivers mixed reviews, and that is spot on! The menu is limited compared to other Chinese American spots, but not too far out of the ordinary. The egg roll was OK, but left a bad aftertaste. (You'll see the common theme shortly...) the chicken wings were again, just OK, but also left a bad aftertaste and were lacking much flavor. The wonton soup was seriously lacking flavor (thank the heavens I keep msg on stash) and the actual wonton left a weird aftertaste...again! The beef lomein was lacking and the beef was also on the lower end of quality. Gray and flavorless and as you may have guessed it, left a bad aftertaste. The same can be said for the pork spareribs dinner combo (which was small and compared to a "lunch sized" serving from other locations). The rice was bland and the ribs were lacking that familiar "sweet red sauce" flavor we all know. I truly think the "weird aftertaste" is due to a lack of changing oils or the woks they use aren't cleaned consistently. The lack of flavor issues are consistent with most Chinese American spots here in Central Florida. The food didn't make me sick, so that is one plus, I guess. Ciao!

I order from this establishment all the time spending more than $45 during each visit. I ordered three combo meals and the rice was disgusting. By the time I begin to eat my dinner the establishment was closed so I tried calling them the very next day beginning at 11:15 but no one answered during my three attempts. I called back in the evening around 4:45pm and spoke to a lady, which I explained to her my loyalty to their establishment and how I was disappointed in the quality of the food. She asked me what would I like to do, I told her since I frequent them a lot I would be okay with having the food remade in another visit. She told me I needed to bring the food back, mind you it had been over 16 hours and I made attempt to call them. Unfortunately there was no resolution because I no longer have the food and I’m not about to dig in the trash to retrieve it. I do not recommend this establishment.

This place is the best in town hot food , fresh, the place is a whole in the wall but the food is 5 starts in my book i have visited many Chinese restaurants in Florida, Vegas, California, and Puerto Rico and i can say this is one of the best i have gone, Egg rolls are always super hot and and good, i even got a Veggie one by accident and i wasn’t even mad bc it was still delicious. Fried rice was good, soup was good, all was good will defiantly come again and will recommend

First time ordering from here and the food was delicious and cooked fresh. I will be ordering from here again.
