I tried the Dan Dan noodles, which featured a peanut sauce; this was my first time encountering peanut sauce in a Dan Dan dish. I wouldn’t rate it five stars. On the positive side, the service was quick and attentive.

We thoroughly enjoyed the sizzling shrimp, short ribs, dumplings, and pork belly bao. The Dan Dan noodles were delightful, and the lobster fried rice was also quite good. However, we were both completely amazed by the Tokyo crêpe filled with mushrooms and tofu—it was innovative and incredibly delicious. As I was the designated driver, I asked Javier for a recommendation on a mocktail. Without hesitation, he offered to create something special. He suggested their fantastic Heart of the Pina drink, which is usually made with tequila, but he made it without. It featured the amazing flavors of passion fruit, pomegranate, lime, agave, and cardamom bitters—truly outstanding and refreshing. All the staff who brought the beautifully presented small plates to our table were very helpful with answering our questions. As locals, we’re eager to return soon because the ambiance, food, and service at 8 East are all top-notch.

The fried bacon was so fatty and not our taste, but the dumplings, Bao, and honey cake were definitely great. We got Sake and it was a mini bottle for $12/$14, which was nice cause I figured it was gonna be one shot/glass for that price.
