Super rude over the phone. I asked to add teriyaki beef to the family meal instead of the pork slices and I said I would pay extra and they told me "No, we won't do that" I asked if I can just order the beef on the side and they said "No" and my wife really wanted to try this place so I at this point I still continued to try to place an order instead of hanging up. So I asked if they could tell me what the size is of the main courses that come with the family meal and the employee sighed and said "Sir, we are really busy I can't answer-" and then I hung up. What a joke of a restaurant. read more

Order was perfect my family orders from Here often. Dine in or takeout always good food read more

Service is great but the food is really bad. My look good on photos but it has no flavor and the beef taste old and cheep quality for sure. Worst Chinese food I've ever had for those of you who know real Chinese cuisine. read more

To get the correct perspective, this restaurant is located in Ontario, Oregon where the Chinese population is almost non-existent. I remember eating here in 1970 when visiting family and my father said it has been around since the late 50's. Being from Seattle with tons of Chinese friends and eating at Chinese restaurants frequently, I consider myself as a semi-expert on Chinese food. And this is American Chinese food. You will get filled up on the food since the portions are decent and you won't get sick from it. But it just isn't the Chinese cuisine that I'm used to. I gave this place 2 stars since the service was good, everyone is friendly and the portions were good. I'm picky about my food. I don't really recommend this place, hence the 2 stars. read more

I went in with apprehension, most of the Chinese places in the whole area. Don't serve Chinese food like I'm used to. I have the chow mein with pan. Fried noodles was pretty good. It was lacking a little flavor. I had a egg roll with the egg was very unique. I think it was one of the better eggrolls. I've had handmade not a little round one. It was fluffy like a pastry and pretty tasty, that was mistake. I'm supposed to get young so I got young and young usual brown sauce. It was a brown ginger sauce which was really good soup pretty much typical had a great waitress. She buried with me with all my indecisiveness. I'll try something different in service was really good prices reasonable for lunch, nothing beats San Francisco Chinese food read more

See all

Good service. Food came out quickly. It just wasn't very good. The szechuan chicken was not spicy at all. You would swear it was just brown instant gravy. The chicken and tofu tasted the same. read more

I have been coming here for years because I love the tofu. Some of the dishes are too Americanized for me. But it comes out hot and fresh, just as it should! read more

I've stopped here on and off for decades. The last time I stopped in will be the last time. The food was so bad, I could not eat it. It smelled rancid. I try to support small restaurants, but they at least have to try. read more

Pros: lunch comes with soup and tea. Cheap. Mysterious veggie noodle sauce is better than expected. Deep fried items extra crispy. Cons: soup is so so. "Crunchy noodles" are more like salad condiments. Red sauce is too sweet and fruity. read more

Far East Restaurant - a plate of food on a table - Chinese Near Me - Ontario, Oregon

We have limited exposure to Chinese food in Ontario as we were just paying a short visit but this was on our way to the interstate, we were hungry, it was dinner time--so we took a chance and stopped in. this store appeared to be one of the more popular places for local diners as a steady influx of diners came in while we were eating. It is standard American/Chinese fare with few surprises so I would not expect gourmet delights. We all had combination plates that arrived piping hot and in substantial quantities , and with one exception the food was very good. The only downside to both of us who had it was the sweet and sour pork. It was exceptionally dry and tough-so much so I thought it was beef-and severely overcooked. Prices are reasonable and service is good--a good place to get a filling meal without breaking the pocketbook. read more

Just spent 50.00 for take out for 3 adults. The food was so horrible that we went back to town to pick up dinner from a different restaurant. We didn't even recognize some of the dishes. They just have their own way of making it I guess. But the taste is absolutely awful! Save your money don't eat here. Since they are closed for Covid, we drove back into Idaho to go home and eat. So we are definitely not happy! read more

Just okay, surely not the best Chinese food. Pork fried rice was rediculous. Mogo gypan was the worst ever. Did like the steak and green pepper dish. read more

I wish you could vote 0 stars on Yelp. This restaurant would been the first '0' for me. I don't even know where to begin. Given it was 9:00PM in Ontario... Should of went fast food, Anyways. I walked in thinking it was going to be a little hidden treasure, looking past the previous helpers, i mean yelpers... It was not. I figured I would order what the waitress suggested. I do that a lot, but here, I figured I would get the best meal they had to offer. I ate half of my meal and actually had to ask the waitress if I could have another Tsingtao after waiting 5 minutes. Maybe it was because she was too busy mopping the floor in front of all the customers, reaching over them to close all the blinds. I couldn't wait to leave also! CHECK PLEASE!! ! ! read more

Far East Restaurant - Yes. She's mopping the floor. - Chinese Near Me - Ontario, Oregon

Since I'm a local, I know what to order & what not to order: I go in for the Mongolian Beef (Extra Spicy). For people coming from out of town, I can't say I would recommend this restaurant too highly. It's okay - fine if you're just looking for generic chinese fast-food. The place is usually nice enough, but I remember going in one summer and they didn't have adequate air-conditioning - just this huge fan blowing hot air around (very noisy, slightly annoying). read more

I wish you give zero stars. I don't know how this place still exists. It's the worst Chinese food ever, it was when I was a kid and still is. It's disgusting inside and the food is SO bland, dry and tasteless the bottom of my shoe would have more flavor. read more

Worst food ever!!! bland, no flavor. got a to go meal and threw it away after 3 bites. read more

The table was dirty. There was food was stuck to the table. When I got my food the rice was old and hard. My egg roll was burnt but the worst part was that I found a hair on one of the pieces. I showed the server and she apologized about it. She told me that she wouldn't charge me which was the only good thing. The server was nice and friendly. read more

Far East Restaurant - Egg Roll with hair - Chinese Near Me - Ontario, Oregon

If you enjoy Cantonese Chinese Food with thick, sticky, syrupy, cloying sauces, then you might like this food. There is also a LOT of food for a reasonable price. If, on the other hand, you have the slightest bit of discriminating taste in Chinese Food, then you might not like this restaurant. read more

My experience with Far East was quite pleasant. I ordered over the phone for my family of five, which turned out to be a rather large order. The woman who took my order was very patient and pleasant, and she repeated the order back to me, which always makes me happy. When I got there, the place was mostly empty, understandable for an early afternoon on a weekday, when most people are still working, but the general vibe was comforting. It almost reminded me of an old diner. The Asian aesthetic is almost non-existent, but I'm willing to dismiss that. The amount of food that was handed to me was well worth the $80 I spent there already, and that was before I even tasted it. I walked out with three bags of food that day. I don't know who the chef is there, but I applaud them immensely. That food was delicious, and my mouth is watering just writing this review. I will happily order more from them when I can, and I recommend it to anyone who can afford to spend extra. read more

Chicken fried rice was great! Everything else: gen chick, potstickers, chick egg foo yung: pretty mediocre. The beer battered honey walnut shrimp was very.... Unique. Not a bad meal, but not what I am used to. read more

Hot, fresh food that is very consistent. Far East is a great option for a quick lunch. Their lunch combos are inexpensive and there are many to choose from. Friendly service! read more

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant. We go to Canada just for this and have the same set of order all the time. We usually order several different dishes for us to share instead of a combo or set meal for each person. Our faves: House Specialty Chicken, Honey Garlic Spare Ribs, Black Pepper Beef, Chicken with Almonds, Sweet n Sour Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, and Chicken Fried Rice. We leave the restaurant feeling full and satisfied but still able to bring a LOT of leftover that we eat at home for the next few days lol and oh it's cheap! We pay no more than $100 usd for 7 dishes that can feed 6-7 people. read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in town. It has everything a person could ask for. No this is not a fancy place by any means. If that's you're thing stay away. It makes up for it with good food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in town read more

This place has been here forever and fresh and still the same food and people!!!!! Family 3

Was traveling through and stopped here. Staff was very attentive and food came quickly. I enjoyed the Mandarin Chicken with Fried Rice. The quality was good, but it was Americanized. It really worked for the dish however. The tea was surprisingly one of my favorite things. It had a good steep which was smooth and flavorful. Wish I could buy tea from them. read more

Been coming here for many years. Always a good, basic Chinese fix. Lots of fried, crispy goodies! Great egg rolls, always fresh out of the fryer. I love the Beef Tofu, and the sukiyaki is truly unique, and very tasty. Those that complain about the food here should stick with Panda Express. read more

Mom and pop joint...nothing fancy... Have eaten here several times till a Chinese restaurant open closer to home. My local place is closed (family vacation) so we returned to the Far East. Had the #8 special....$9.00 and wasn't disappointed. all kinds of stuff....all good. read more

The waitress was nice but I'm not eating the waitress. The sweet n' sour and mandarin sauces taste the same (overpowered with vinegar), fried rice dry and tasteless, pan-fried noodles coated in gooey (oyster?) sauce that was difficult to swallow (so much sauce!), and the only redeeming quality was it was served fast and they have huge koi in a fish tank. We were on a 12hr drive and tired of fast food, but I'd rather eat at BarfDonald's than this place. Should've consulted Yelp! before we stopped here. read more

Really gross. We came here because somehow this is my Grandmother-in-laws "favorite restaurant" but I can't even begin to understand why. The fried shrimp were pretty good but I could barely get down anything else. I would steer clear if I were you. read more

Let's call this the greasy spoon of Chinese food. Took 3 Sons and myself, tried to get the attention of the slow waitress to express the concern of my son's and I to no avail! We couldn't try another bite nor did we want to take it home, owner basically did not care and said "You pay or me call police".......I paid for 4 meals, maybe 8 bites, and we left feeling as if we may have left with E Coli.......My opinion is to avoid this establishment!!! read more

Dirty table& water glasses. Flavorless food & watery tea. Will not return. That's all.

My husband and I are driving across the country, and visited my grandparents in Ontario. They wanted to go out for their 64th anniversary, and they chose Far East. I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, and when we pulled up to the restaraunt, I wasn't expecting much. The exterior looked aged and unkempt. Inside was clean but aged as well. The menu offered typical Chinese and some Japanese fare. All four of us ordered the lunch specials- I believe we all got Mandarin chicken. At $6 a plate, I wasn't expecting high quality. But we all were served tea and egg drop soup by our attentive waitress. When our entrees came, I was shocked- all white breast meat, cooked to perfection. I mean it- perfection. Taste was incredible as well. I was in disbelief. Overall- the ambience wasn't there, but the food and service was on point. read more

Find it funny it says "Japanese" for category when its really a "Chinese" restaurant!! However, I love it!

Chinese is one of my favorite foods ever! Ate at the Far East in Ontario today 9/17/15 it was by far disgusting ! I had the A2 which is chow mien , sweet & sour pork , fried rice ... Pork was dry to the bone hard as a rock ! Their sweet and sour sauce was Nasty unflavored same with the rice and chow mien ! Hands down 0 Stars ! read more

Nasty i have never returned food but this was a first. It was so gross we couldn't eat it. we payed for our drinks and left. owner said that for 20 years no one has returned food or said it was not edible. she should look at all the bad post. read more

Gross! The restaurant is crumby and the food is disgusting. Everything is cooked into some sort of gelatinous goop. The waitress was cranky and slow and it smelled unpleasant. Unable to locate a health department score sheet although im sure it is barely passing. read more

Nice family owned restaurant with great employees! Far East is the only Chinese place I like to eat at. Love ordering to-go and having leftovers throughout the week. Very filling! read more

While it won't win awards for decor, the food was good. Wife and I ordered the special and received it in good time and it was OK. We had Mandarin Orange chicken and Hong Kong Chop Suey if I remember right. The Chicken was cooked well with the skin nice and crisp while the meat was juicy. The sauce over it was out of a can and not exciting. But not bad. The Chop Suey was a little heavy on celery, but it was a vegetable Chop Suey and the veggies were crisp and fresh not canned. Price was really nice, coming in at $9 a plate. Will go back again. read more
