Staff is always so friendly and quick to answer the phone to take my order. I love the food here, and how it’s always hot when I come to grab it. I always get my go-to Sesame Chicken & White Rice, and every time it’s just phenomenal! Absolutely would recommend.

Was there last night for my grandson and I. I ordered the Pad Thai and spring rolls; Devon ordered Orange Chicken. Arrived at time specified and order had just finished up and put out for pickup. There were two families there eating in and 5 people in line waiting to order. The air smelled heavenly and the appearance was clean and well maintained. Got home tried a piece of OCtwo thumbs up. I already knew the spring rolls woukd be delicious...not disappointed. Then the Tai Phan...off the hook! And have lunch today! Like my friend Louie in Friendship I highly recommend Cafe East of Dunkirk

I looove the crispy shrimp with walnuts it’s like the Panda Express honey walnut shrimp but 100% better. They are always super nice and food is always good. I just wish they delivered but that’s my only complaint!

Only ever heard great things about this place. Also, I've been there about 5 times and their food is always spot-on. Great taste and perfect combination meals. If they delivered then I'd eat there every week hah. They say they don't put any MSG in their food either! So good quality stuff here. Relatively fast order times (usually takes 5-15 minutes for normal sized meals). Just wanted to update this review, not sure what people are referring to with the service. The ladies taking the order were great.

We live in PG county and will drive over here just for their shrimp rolls. They are literally the best that I have ever eaten. Sometimes I will just order 3 shrimp rolls and some soup, lol. The crispy noodles that they serve with the soups are amazing as well. You will definitely want to order extra crispy noodles. The entrees are above typical carryout quality and the staff is friendly.

Ordered the General Tso's Chicken combination. It was excellent. Piping hot and chicken was very tender came with a large helping of fried rice, broccoli, and an egg roll for a fare price.

For a run of the mill Chinese place, the food is good. You know it's authentic because the customer service is absolutely atrocious and rude. They treat you like you're pestering them, which is how the folks back in the homeland would ready you. It's not rude or prejudice to say that, it's a cultural thing!

I was very impressed. We usually go to peiking but I got the sesame tofu and bf got general tso chicken..we loved it! Hot and sour soup needs more flavor but still good.
