The East - Hanau

An interesting concept with this tablet order of small portions, a good way to taste a bit of everything. The interior decoration is really nice and, most important, the food is very decent in spite of the wide array of cuisine types variety.

I must say I expected more. I asked for hot sake and they brought semi-cold sake. I asked for water and they brought opened bottles. Highly strange for a restaurant Bottles should be opened at the table. Only consolation is that the food didn't...taste bad. Still I expected a lot more at those prices. And they asked for mandatory tip. Worse.

I went weeks ago in this restaurant with my friends. The food is so nice specially the Chinese food and the waiters polite. I wish if I’ll come back in hanau it will be a stop this restaurant. Very nice !

I eat a lot of sushi and I have to say that even the prepackaged garbage at the supermarket is a lot better than what you get served at the east. The rice is dry and the fish is cut so thinly that you can...see the rice underneath. There's a heavy emphasis on fried food (which I suppose at least tastes better than the sushi). The fried duck and butterfish were terrible (respectively dry and oily) and several things were delivered up to minutes late. The ambience resembles a cantina and is unspeakably dingy. I can't say if it *is* dirty, but it certainly seems dirty. I don't think the staff were unfriendly, but they certainly were harried and stressed. Add to that that it's not terribly cheap and one can only draw one conclusion: don't go.

Having visited this place on a good few occasions I can but wholly recommend a meal here. My recommendation is the iPad driven unlimited menu: for one selects four dishes each quarter hour. The food is served fast after selection and is delicious. Add...in a sashimi for odd and you will not take up all courses. As a business traveller, I do try to visit this place at least once a week. Not to be missed if you like Japanese
