    Stir-Fried Fish Fillets with Chopped Pepper
    Tiffany L.

    Tucked in the corner of the Rivermark plaza it can be a bit hard to find parking here. I came here with a party of 4 and were seated right away. We ordered food off of an iPad and got fish, vegetables, pork and rice. All of the dishes were quite delicious but definitely more on the oily side. My favorite dish out of them all was the fish, the sauce on it was pretty light and the fish was very fresh. I really enjoyed it.

    Beef Noodle Soup
    Dominic G.

    The food here is expensive, but I recommend going for the specials. I ordered the beef noodle soup. It was excellent! Tender beef to go along with a flavorful broth. The broth has an enjoyable amount of spice: just the right amount to make your tastebuds tingle. Orders are through the store-provided iPad. The customer service is good overall. Good amount of dining, and the space is overall clean.

    清炒鱼片
    Maggie W.

    Came here with my dad and I to grab something quick to eat for dinner before going up to SF. We ordered the stir fried fish (清炒鱼片) and the beef noodle stew. Really filling and hearty, family style dish but we did see lots of couples around us that ordered one to three dishes so YMMV (depends on your appetite!). I really enjoyed the broth in the beef noodle stew, it was not too salty and came with a good amount of vegetables. Noodles were QQ, the stir fried fish was delicious and aromatic. The tender texture paired with the crunchy leafy greens was well balanced! Overall, authentic Eastern Chinese fare in the Rivermark Plaza- a well maintained and nicely groomed area nestled in the middle of corporate Silicon Valley. No complaints about the surroundings, but when you go inside it's as real as you can get. Service is good and the interior is clean, lots of seating and the waiters are friendly!

    Came here with a party of about 15 of us, and they were definitely not that prepared lol. The round tables seat about 10. We ended up connecting the long tables into a huge one for all of us. The long table design is nice - there's like a basket underneath to hold your stuff! Not for the round tables though. You order on an ipad. Our team ordered so much stuff. Quantity of the dishes were decent. What would I order again? I think: - the chicken soup - the spicy beef - sour cabbage fish fillet - vegetables were all yummy What would I not get again? - the shrimp with vermicelli noodles - clam dish (didn't have enough clams, just a ton of spices inside) Overall, customer service was great. Parking was also easy. And for my birthday... they gave me a complimentary birthday noodle dish! But they only gave it to me at the end when I'm stuffed LOL.

    Plain noodles

    Located in the rivermark plaza, parking can be pretty hit or miss depending on the time of day. We got here when they were an hour off from closing. There were maybe 3 or 4 other parties here. We were seated pretty quickly. My bf has ordered their fried rice on a previous occasion and I was super impressed by the wok hei so we decided to come here for dinner. The waitress spoke to us in Mandarin and named their specials and instructed us to use the tablet to order. We're Cantonese speakers so we could only sort of understand but we appreciated the hospitality. We understood enough haha. We could have told them we didn't speak Mandarin, but we decided to just go with the flow, we were in too deep. We got the braised pork belly with tofu and plain noodles. The plain noodles were definitely a good deal. I wasn't expecting vegetables, which were a nice touch. Especially great for the cold rainy night we were having. The pork belly and tofu were very well done. Really appreciated that it came with a flame so we could have hot food. Would definitely come back and see what else they offer.

    Grilled tofu with minced pork. Good
    Frank L.

    Great authentic Chinese food. Ordered Togo from Uber eats and the prices/portions were really fair. Taste was on point. I liked all the dishes I ordered. I got the grilled tofu with minced pork, steamed egg with minced pork, smoked pork fried rice, and steamed braised pork with smashed peppers. Usually I critique each dish but tbh every dish was solid and what I expected if not a lil better. I had very low expectations of the smoked pork fried rice but the smoked pork added an interesting dimension to the fried rice. Overall, enjoyed my order from here and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again

    Quality of the food served here is next level. Good portions and plenty of the main items, like a chicken dish has a lot of chicken and not filled with veggies. Loved ordering on the IPads, so convenient with photos.

    Braised Boned Chicken with Taro Root Special
    Minnette T.

    A friend and I thought we'd check this place out since we always pass by it in Rivermark but never go. At first we were drawn by their sign saying Hunan Cuisine and when we entered we were greeted and seated us right away. There are QR codes where the napkins are but those will make you download an app on your phone. They take your order by handing a tablet and noting your table number down. We weren't craving much so we only got 2 dishes and 2 bowls of rice. The first dish they brought out was braised boned chicken with taro root. My initial impression of this dish was there's a lot of chicken and the chicken was good but it starts to get salty really fast. I know the point of the dish is the chicken still has bone but it seemed like there was a lot of shattered bones throughout the flesh and so we were cracking a lot of those with almost every bite. The spice level was good and taro didn't seem to get spicy. Our next dish was sautéed egg with fermented soy which we were excited for. It was tasty but also really salty which made it hard for us to keep eating. The fermented soy was definitely a nice a touch to the dish. Overall, we felt the food is okay but not something we would crave for. We also thought the required tip amount was kind of silly because we felt ignored by our server the entire time we were here. They were good at taking our order and card (they took our card without showing us the receipt) but not so much answering/noticing you when you need help. Also, do not think you can get out of their required tip amount as they chased us to increase the tip.

    Braised Boned Chicken with Red Pepper Special
    Josh D.

    Yesterday I went to try Easterly because I thought this restaurant would be a good representation of Hunan food. I'm not sure if they have the same level of authenticity in China, but I might have to go somewhere else that serves Hunan cuisine because I had a bad experience here. Let's talk about service first. They never checked up on us to see if the food was okay or if we needed anything else. We had to wave down the server for the check because she couldn't take the hint we wanted to leave. I normally tip 15% whenever I eat out, but I didn't enjoy the service nor food and I'll explain why soon. I didn't leave a tip and as we got up to leave, she went to pick up the check quickly and she said we are required to tip. My friend and I looked at each other like... "Uhh? is this legal?" LOL. I left a dollar tip and heard our server running to see how much we tipped and she took a deep breath and huffed at us. The audacity to stop me and force me to tip for bad service was ridiculous. Now talking about the food, my friend and I ordered the braised boned chicken and as you eat the chicken, all the bones are mixed in and you have to pick out the bone with your finger. The chicken was also too salty and diluting it with rice doesn't help at all. I really got excited for the sautéed egg because you can't mess that up, but surprisingly they did lol. The egg was very salty and I still have to eat it with big scoops of rice. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty clean, including the restroom. The most enjoyable part of the dish was the kick of spice that leaves your mouth a little bit numb. The food would have been a lot better if it wasn't so salty or if the chicken didn't have so many tiny fragments of bones that makes your teeth hurt when you bite down on it. The only thing I loved about the food was the bowl of rice.

    Beef
    Jeannie P.

    Pros: This restaurant is conveniently located in the river-mark plaza . The decor is spacious and clean. The food is tasty, and food comes out super fast. Cons: Be prepared , the food is very oily and salty. It's not for everyone. You can always ask for less salt, and oil. Also they charge mandatory 18% service fee. And service was a bit slow.

    Linda C.

    My bf and I are frequent quests at the Hyatt House. We have eaten at Easterly a few times. I'm not a big fan, but I don't hate it either. The flavors do have a home cooked touch to it, but most of the time it's a little overly salty. We got a noodle dish today, I think it's the same one we usually get, as much as I like it, I also don't like how overly oily it is. We got the Mongolian beef which was mostly white and green onions, and some pork and cabbage steamed onion. The service was great, we sat outside because we had our dog with us. It was very sunny, the server opened the sun umbrella for us and brought out a bowl of water for our dog. The server was super attentive.

    This was my second time here and it was just as good as the previous time! Only thing bad was that there was some crumbs in my water.. we asked the waitress for a new one Food(5/5): We got octopus and fish soup it was spicy and flavorful. Definitely will come back for the octopus dish again. Service(4/5): Service was good, they just accidentally placed the wrong dish on the heater but someone else noticed and fixed it. Ambiance(5/5): The ambiance was good everyone in other tables were lively and seemed to be enjoying the restaurant.

    This review is from my visit earlier last year. I'm just catching up on all my reviews now…read more We went when it was dinner time, and the place was packed. We waited for probably 15-20 minutes which wasn't too bad. The place is pretty big and fits a good amount of people. The food was great. Every single dish that we got was so good and packed with comfort and flavor. The veggies were well cooked, my favorite was the beef rolls. I would recommend checking this place out.

    This review is from March 2025, it just takes me awhile to write reviews…read more I have heard that they have since had a kitchen fire but are going to re-open some time this year. They have also opened a location in Cupertino that is more convenient for me. Adding Mian to this plaza definitely livened it up, it was so difficult finding parking and then there was an hour wait when we joined the waitlist. We wandered around Grocery Outlet and Savers to pass the time. I came with a group of 6 people. We ordered the sichuan spicy fries and fried chicken cutlet to share. The fries were the spiciest item I had that day, wow! I ordered the Sichuan chicken cold noodles, extra spicy. They were not spicy at all. I left everyone at the table try them and they all agreed it was not spicy. Kind of disappointing, I expected them to be spicier than the fries at least. My partner had the chengdu zajiang noodles, mild spicy. They were good, the signature dish of the restaurant. I would return, but their spice levels are very inconsistent.

They gave us a large bowl of sauce and honestly, it's good for two portions of noodles plus 2 portions of rice with just the sauce. I wanted to cover everything in it because it was just that good. I just wanted to eat more and more and really should've asked for a bowl of rice to eat the sauce with. Chicken wings - Sticky, sweet, very well fried. The glaze was amazing.

Would've preferred a spicier soup, and noted it didn't have that wok hei, similar to other Korean places. Overall a decent bowl, and the best dish we had. Kan pung gi - first time eating this dish but it was a lot sweeter than expected. There was a bit of a crunch, but nowhere as crunchy as other Korean fried chicken places. Meat itself didn't have much flavor either. A disappointment, but part of it was our preference in taste as well. Green beans - really dry and some were undercooked. Not really much flavor in the dish. Biggest disappointment. Service - we never got check ins, unless we flagged someone down - not usually a big deal, but it was hard to flag anyone down when we wanted drinks and our check. They also kept mixing tables up, and tried to give other table's orders to us three times. We also never got our banchan refills, even though they took it away early on in our meal. Ambiance - a run of the mill small restaurant, nothing fancy. Parking is tight in the back. Didn't have much of a wait on Sunday at 7:30pm.

Love the more unique baby corn and water chestnut in this dish - Stir Fried Eggplant: don't mistake this as a health dish - it is absolutely glistening with oil.

Had a nice wok hei flavor without being overbearing, and the noodles and veggies in the dish were cooked perfectly. The beef was super tender in both dishes, but I regret ordering the mongolian beef because they ended up having the same flavor profile. I would probably stick with the beef chow fun, and just order a different entree. They only have basic condiments like vinegar, salt, pepper, on the table but if you ask, they do have sriracha and chili oil to bring out. The chili oil had a good flavor, but wasn't spicy. All dishes are family sized and perfect for sharing. They'll even bring you out smaller sharing plates if you want. Their menu is so big! I attached some recent photos from earlier this month so prices and menu items should be up to date. Parking is easy as they're in a pretty low key plaza and they do take CC.

We knew to go early, since they don't take reservations and we often see lines outside. We arrived at 10:30am and the front manager said if we can be done my 12:30, that they had a table for us. Party of 12, since we got there early, we agreed. The side room had the biggest round table for us. They ask you what kind of tea you want, we like chrysanthemum tea. You order the items on the paper menu and it comes to your table. So we got going on the orders and TBH, we must be hungry, because we did a lot of orders (we had plenty of left overs). Tried some favorites and a few new items that we thought were unique to their restaurant. My dad has to order crispy noodle and chow fun, and we also ordered chicken fried rice. The service was prompt and attentive, with enough servers to take care of the side room. Since it was the "sun room", the sun was shining through the windows and it was bright. Review from my parents: it was just meh, they prefer the other place near our house. I think the food is good, but probably won't come back again with a big group of us, since they don't have many big round tables. And personally, I prefer the whole experience of the ladies coming around with their carts. Perhaps their dinner menu is also worth trying.

The food quality there is more consistent, and the service is much more phenomenal. The only things this place really has over Koi Palace are the lower prices and those black sesame custard buns my friend loves! I've been here at least a dozen times, and the food can be hit or miss. Sometimes dishes come out cold, like they've been sitting out for a while instead of being served fresh and hot. That said, there are a few items we always order that are consistently good when brought out fresh like salted crispy pork chops, siu mai, shrimp rolls, and fried calamari. Be prepared for a wait on weekends since it gets crowded. If you're coming with a large group, it's best to arrive before noon. The restaurant is located next to a hotel, and finding the restroom can be confusing since it's inside the hotel. Service is also pretty minimal--they seem understaffed, and I almost always have to flag someone down just to get basics like soy sauce, chili, and water. I don't understand why they don't just have the sauce on the table for guest to dip, but I get that they're saving $ on controlling the cost down. On my most recent visit, the experience really went downhill. Our table had food but no soy sauce, chilli nor water, and when I flagged a waiter multiple times, he got visibly annoyed and irritated. It was frustrating--we shouldn't have to chase someone down repeatedly for basic condiments. Being met with attitude for that honestly left a bad impression. That experience alone makes me reconsider coming back. Good food at a good price is one thing, but poor service--especially to that extent--can really ruin the overall experience.
