About Eat 'N East
Eat 'N East, located at 1051 US-202 North, Branchburg, NJ 08876, USA, is a Chinese Restaurant that appears to specialize in sushi and other dishes, including a highly favored Garlic Shrimp with Scallops. They can be contacted at (908) 218-9888 or +1 908-218-9888.
Based on customer reviews, Eat 'N East is described as a "cute little local shop" where the sushi is both "affordable" and of "superb quality." Customers who have visited multiple times report being greeted warmly by the "friendly" waitstaff, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The presentation of the food is noted for its "beautiful" aesthetics, indicating an effort in both flavors and appearance.
A particularly popular menu item for take-out is the Garlic Shrimp with Scallops, with one customer stating they have ordered it at least 20 times, expressing their love for it. However, a significant issue has been raised regarding the restaurant's take-out packaging. The food is typically placed in a white plastic container that has a recurring problem with leaking sauce. This container is then placed in a brown bag, which is further put into a plastic bag, yet the sauce still manages to leak through, causing a mess for the customer upon opening. While one review from July 31, 2024, mentioned a new container that did not leak when held upright, a subsequent review from September 30, 2024, indicates a return to the old, leaky white containers, leading to lost sauce and dry food.
Despite the packaging concerns for take-out orders of certain saucy dishes like the Garlic Shrimp, Eat 'N East is still recommended for its affordable, high-quality sushi and friendly service for dine-in customers. The restaurant seems to be aware of the packaging issue and has attempted to address it, although a consistent solution with truly watertight containers is still desired by some customers to prevent sauce leakage and maintain food quality during transport.

Cute little local shop. The sushi is affordable with superb quality. I’ve been coming here several times and the waitress/waiters are friendly and greets me everytime, so I feel very welcomed and comfortable here. The aesthetics of the plate is beautiful and I can really tell they put in effort in the flavors and appearance. Highly recommend and would be coming back again.
I love their garlic shrimp with scallops menu item. I always get it for take-out. I have eaten at least 20 of them. There is a problem with their packaging. They put the food into a white plastic container that ALWAYS leaks. The container is not water-proof. They put the white container into a brown bag and put that into a plastic bag. The sauce leaks from the white container through the brown bag and into the plastic bag. When I open the white container, I get sauce from the bottom of the container all over my kitchen counter and have a mess to clean up. I have seen other take-out containers and NONE of them ever leak. This business needs to get a liquid-proof or water-proof container to put the food in so the sauce does not leak out. Wake up please!!!!!!!!!!! I ordered a take-out today July 31, 2024 and was surprised to see they have a new container that, when held upright, does not leak. One good step in the right direction. I wish they would go one more step and use a truly watertight container. Many restaurants use waterproof containers so an even better type of container does exist. Got an order of Garlic Shrimp last week (9/30) and they are using the old leaky white container again. Sure wish they would use a waterproof container. Their current container looses the sauce and makes the food dry! Don't know why the owner can't understand he/she has a problem here.
Had lunch there, food was very good. The vegetables are fresh and ingredients are authentic. Our server was very polite and attentive. Would visit more frequent if I wasn't 4 hours away.. pic is the Singapore noodles and beef lomein.
Food was great, tasted good, looks good. We loved it. Unfortunately, All the good stuff ends there. We felt like, the waitress here was so mad at us, for our poor knowledge of Chinese food. She was actually yelled at us when we asked about food. She forgot to get some water before serving food. Well that’s fine, human errors right? Well we asked her to get some water for us.. she just brought one glass of water for two people.. We don’t want to get yelled again, didn’t ask a thing later. Never mind, I took it little personal as she was yelling at my girlfriend. Thanks for great food.
Love by below have been customer for quite a few years. Their food is delicious.
