East Side Village

The beef and broccoli was extremely salty, that should never be salty at all. The beef was extremely boiled and grey with zero flavour. I will not be going back to eat there again. Very very disappointed.

Pros: great food and portion size, great menu options and specials, you can't beat the prices on the specials, friendly service. Neutral: I believe you can dine-in but it's very limited. Cons: no washroom available, the neighborhood area in general is a bit on the sketchy side but I suppose they can be chalked as part of the experience. Overall: great place definitely gotta check it out at the least.

Amazing service! They called me to confirm some changes. I was very difficult and had a hard time understanding cause of how tired I was! The woman on the phone was patient and kind. We enjoyed the food! Will order again! Good price for combos!

I'm just going to add in right in front . I guess the first order what to impress me. I've never had anyone tell me it's my fault that the food tasted like 10 pounds of salt dumped in . Because i have an allergic reaction to Soy. i eat food with out soy all the time. Guess what -? It's doesn't taste like salt at all. so back to the drawing board. Oh, yes and no offer of compensation My husband was sick for 3 days. I didn't eat . happy new year Wonderful. I have given up ordering or dining out even because of my severe allergies. Vegetarian options: The vegetable dish was really nice, good variety of veggies and cooked really nicely . The food had a clean taste if that makes sense. Loved it. Dietary restrictions: Allergy to soy and fruit.

The Singapore noodles tasted like they had soap in them and the Tao chicken was cold and chewy my wife's rice and chicken balls were even worse never going back again complete trash right were it belongs

We have eaten at East Side Village for over 5 years now. Their spring rolls are amazing, perfectly seasoned, huge, obviously homemade. Since I'm a vegetarian I order these frequently. Today we ordered for the first time in a while and received small, obviously not homemade spring rolls. We opened them up and they had little balls of meat inside. We asked for new ones to be delivered and after one delivery mistake we finally got our order around two hours after having picked up our food. Turns out, these have meat in them too! I didn't think to check before biting in, so thanks for that East Side. We called to complain and the manager "swore to God" that the only thing in them were carrots, onions, and cabbage and she knew this because it was on the box in the freezer seriously...... Why would you say that?. Couldn't explain whatever these were and wouldn't read the ingredient box. So. Frozen spring rolls. No quality control. Not the same East Side Village since it changed owners. Do not go here.

Ordered through SkiptheDishes. Worst chinese food I've ever had. Everything was dry or rubbery. The lemon sauce tasted like cleaning products. I hardly leave reviews, but this warrants one. Don't waste your money.

I heard this place was good a while ago but did not realize that they changed ownership. My tao chicken tasted really off and my pregnant wife's chicken balls were very under cooked and doughy. The chicken fried rice also tasted really weird and like it was days old. I wish i just ordered from VIP like we usually do but i guess we had to learn our lesson the hard way. Don't go here to eat its nasty.

It used to be much better, and since the change in ownership, things have fallen very far. Items taste strange or off, some things are very undercooked or overcooked, and the prices are far too high to bother ordering when the quality is as low as it is. Both times I’ve tried their chicken balls, something was horribly wrong. The first, the batter was still raw in the middle, and the second, they were overdone so much I had trouble crunching through the stone-like shell of nearly burned battered chicken. Vegetables in certain dishes, namely, sweet and sour pork and general Tao’s chicken, were either cooked beyond taste or only cooked enough to count as “not raw”, which would have been preferable I would not recommend them, there are at least 10-15 better Chinese restaurants near the downtown core, try one of them.

I've yet to have a decent meal here. Even when there was a 2 for 1 deal, I regretted ordering from this place.
