What Jamie L dislikes about East 21:
I've ordered takeout from this Chinese-owned sushi restaurant a couple of times. They offer a mix of sushi, Japanese dishes, and classic Chinese takeout options. The food is decent, and the prices are reasonable, but it's nothing extraordinary. I'd suggest keeping your expectations moderate. Price per person: $20–30 View all feedback.

A perfect date spot! I was skeptical of the quality of the sushi because of the all-you-can-drink sake (which was really smooth, by the way), but the sushi was very good. The sushi is not quite Nakazawa level, but the meal is half the cost, so the price point was also great. They have a fun atmosphere that the staff creates, and all 10 people participated in the fun. Note: sitting time is under 2 hours.

This is truly a unique dinning experience. I have been here a few times now and I have never been disappointed. The quality of the fish is superb and their creations are imaginative and scrumptious. Their presentation is a show in its own right. My only complaint is that it is too hard to get a reservation so don't tell too many people how good this place is.

We have the Sushi Party Plate. It was great! Good price too. They're just cash, but they let me pay with cell.

Sushi is really good surprisingly. Entrees are also delish. I always order through Grubhub and they always deliver before estimated time. Food is consistently on point taste wise however that being said I only ordered dishes that I know would be hard to mess up. Updated Review: Order a few more times from place and had to change my 3 star rating to 5 stars! Delivery man extremely polite, food arrives constantly piping out(I live 20 blocks from this place). Taste and quality on point...really delicious curry chicken.

Best Chinese cuisine in the neighborhood! You make general Tso's tofu, which is actually spicy, and they give you noodles with your hot and acid soup without acting as it is a big thing! Will be ordered again!

I have been ordering here a lot lately, ever since summer of this year 2020, after the pandemic has cool down from it peak. The reason why this is my favorite Chinese food because of the great quality, quantity and price. My house is about 1.3 miles away so this is definitely not the closest Chinese food near me and if I look at the map there is at least 5 other Chinese foods that are more nearer to me than East 21. I have always been ordering beef and broccoli and general tso chicken, time to time also the Japanese side of the menu. The taste is really good, and best part is the price you paid ratio to the quantity you get, that is unbeatable. They give you a really good amount. Many other Chinese food has increased their price after the pandemic, that’s understandable but what is bad is that they start to give you less quantity even though you are paying more now than before. I have tried many other Chinese food and this one give about 30% more amount of beef and broccoli compare to some other ones (depends which other restaurant, some I could even say 50% more broccoli and meat). Some Chinese food they are really cutting corners, giving so much rice and so little broccoli and beef. If you haven’t try from here, I do recommend try it at least once and you can compare to the other Chinese food you go to and judge for yourself if this place is better or not. My money is always spend worth in this place. Satisfied service. Hope they continue to serve the community with the current standard of service, I will always support and order from here when it time for Chinese food.

I have been struggling to find a sushi restaurant that I enjoyed in the area. Honestly, I really like this place! I am a big fan of the Special Salmon Combo.

I just ordered , 2 orders of Spicy California rolls , and One order of spicy salmon, I am allergic to salmon hence two orders of Spicy cal rolls , they sent everything in one dish regular California rolls bunches together with the salom rolls. So I won’t be able to eat my California rolls . Called and the girl on the phone was rude , did not try to resolve the issue . Told me I did not tell her separate . If I ask for two order of Spicy California rolls and one order is salmon common sense it’s separate . She was so rude I was in shock . Service: Delivery Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to salmon
