    6 Pork Dumplings
    Jacintha T.

    Pork dumplings (Pan Fried) Very large, fully stuffed dumplings; the size of the dumplings make them very filling. Definitely much larger than traditional dumplings. The pork reminds me of breakfast sausage. I would've love if they had more of a green onion or lemongrass or more of a pronounced Asian flavor palate. Pretty good, though. Crispy Honey Chicken Chicken is lightly breaded, very crisp. I appreciated that they tented the lid to keep the chicken crispy for carryout. The sauce was interesting with a strong sweetened mayonnaise taste. I was expecting more honey than mayonnaise flavor. This was just OK. Combo Lo Mein The lo mein noodles were perfectly cooked. Generous portion and good amount of meat. Steak w/ Black Pepper Sauce This was the star of the show. Hands-down, the best dish out of everything I ordered. The steak was very tender, the ratio of peppers and onions was just enough. I appreciated that the bell peppers were not overcooked nor mushy. The pepper sauce had a heavy pepper presence and yet wasn't overpowering, it was the perfect balance of pepper to make the sauce. Jessica has customer service down to an art. She makes a conscious effort, to ensure everyone feels like family and welcomes everyone in with joy radiating from her. I would definitely recommend this place. A lot of the locals eat there and the food is really good.

    Service is good. Food is exceptional. I've dined here around 5x and have tried many things on the menu and I have enjoyed the experience each time. I tried their Sunday brunch Buffet for the first time two days ago, and I was frankly, floored. There were so many items on the Buffet, and it was being refilled constantly. They're literally was a man in and out of there checking each dish about every 3 minutes. And unlike other Asian buffets, this wasn't full of mundane food but rather some top-of-the-line stuff. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. Desserts were fabulous. I had 2 of many to choose from. the strawberry mousse and the crème brûlée. I left full and happy. I'll be back.

    Went here to celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend. We covered the entire table with food. It was incredible. They offer sushi, and have a lovely-looking sushi bar, but those aren't wheelchair accessible, and I wasn't there for sushi anyhow. We were seated in the dining room, FOX on the television. Seemed to be a lot of regular diners, as staff had conversations with several of them, catching up. And after tasting the food, I can see why people would eat there all the time. We started with shrimp toast. It's so difficult to find decent shrimp toast. These were okay, but I wouldn't order them again. They were nicely fried, but the filling was more like a dense shrimp paste. I liked them more with the dipping sauce that came with my crispy eggplant - which was perfectly battered and fried. Both reheated well in our air fryer the next day. My boyfriend got the Spicy Szechuan Wonton. HE LOVED IT. The soft wrapped wonton was like what you would find in soup, not hard fried. The broth was just the right level of spicy. Got him sweating a little. Of those three, we'll definitely be ordering the wonton again. Since we were celebrating, we also had cocktails. The Summer Breeze is tastier than the Zombie, but smaller. The Spicy Crispy Beef is what brought us to the restaurant. Saw pictures of it on Yelp and was like, "I need that in my life" and damn IT'S AMAZING. I wouldn't necessarily call it spicy, but it is gloriously crispy, yet tender. Sweet sauce and a julienne of carrots, celery, and another veg to add to the texture sensation, and to counterbalance the sticky sauce. We also had Hunan Crispy Duck (Half of a specially marinated boneless duck; served with asparagus in the Chef's spicy brown sauce). My boyfriend and I couldn't decide with sauce was better. He adored the sauce that came with the duck, but my vote is for the sauce for the eggplant. Our meals came with rice, but we never touched it. We couldn't stop shoving everything else into our faces. I think the one miss, the one dish that just didn't stand up to the others was the Sweet Chili Grouper (Lightly breaded grouper in chef's special sweet chili sauce). It wasn't bad, but like the rice, we just couldn't be bothered with it. One of these days we'll learn to stop ordering fish at Chinese restaurants. We completed our meal with a dish of mango pudding (SOOOOO good) and another dish of chocolate-covered banana pudding (could have done without the Hershey's syrup), you know - just free cuz they're cool like that. WHAT A GREAT BIRTHDAY DINNER!!! Would recommend.

    Service was very fast. I placed a pick-up order, and it was ready when I arrived. The inside was decorated nice, and seemed very busy. The food was good. The dumplings and wonton soup were very good. The roast pork with vegetables was just okay, too smoky for my taste, but it may just not be for me. Overall good experience.

    Credit to Yelp for helping me realize this restaurant exists, because I've been to this shopping center so many times before but never paid much attention to East West until now. It was clearly a blind spot in my local restaurant lineup because we really liked it. We came for their Sunday brunch buffet. Given it was our first time, I'm not sure which of the items are there regularly and which are on rotation, but they had a good variety of American breakfast items, Chinese takeout classics such as Hunan beef and orange chicken among others, fried shrimp, 6 different types of maki sushi rolls, salad, chocolate covered strawberries, and plenty of other dessert choices. They offered us wonton soup when we sat down and coffee to go with our dessert as well (included in the price of the buffet). The seating area was full when we arrived at noon, so we sat at the high top table at the bar. This did not impact the level of service- all of the employees are very nice and checked in on us for water refills and to see how we were doing during our meal.

Their food tastes very good, they are very friendly, the portion sizes are more than acceptable, and the menu is robust. I feel like their service has gone downhill in the last year. I have had multiple orders missing food. Since I order for a family, that leaves someone out and I've paid a lot. Waiting for what's missing is not an option since the other food gets cold and the family has to wait. On the last occasion I was missing an entire large meal plus rice, and they refused to credit back my card. It was delivery and they said I could drive there and get a cash refund. Drive? I paid for delivery. Refund? One family member goes hungry. Then they agreed to deliver another one right away. It never came so they obviously lied. I called back an hour later and they said the same thing, come drive here and get a cash refund. It's unethical to lie to your customers and even worse that this isn't the first time. I gave a four out of five, but one more instance and they go down a star. I'm now using the competition for most orders.

    I stopped by this restaurant while in the Glen Burnie area. The Ma Po Tofu was decent, but I wish…read morethey listed what type of meat is inside. The dish is traditionally made with ground pork or beef; however most restaurants in the US prepare this dish with no meat due to it being placed in the Vegatable section of the menu. The flavor was great. It had and authentic flavor coupled with silken tofu. Maybe restaurants prepare with medium firmness tofu, which makes the dish heavier due to the higher protein of a denser type of Tofu

On top of that, service was extremely fast and friendly for how busy it was, and the food was amazing!! Cant recommend the naruto appetizer enough if you're a cucumber fan!

Every single one was delicious and honestly some of the best sushi I've had in MD. If you're looking for a sober experience, would also recommend the smoothies (I got the passionfruit), they were cold and flavored well without tasting artificial. Can't say enough about this gem, and I'll definitely be back. If you're looking for a late night vibe, this is your place!

I ordered the Chirashi bowl with a side salad and miso soup. On third fork full of salad something poked me, to my horror it was a Nail clipping. I spoke to the server and she argued that it's not a Nail, and when I asked what it could be she said she doesn't know. She did not offer to replace my salad and insist that she doesn't know what that is vut def not a Nail clipping and instead just offered a 10% discount just for my food. I will never come back after that disgusting experience.
