Cafe East

I've been patronizing this place since it opened in 2004. The first 3 years the service and food were outstanding. Things have not been the same since Hurricane Katrina. The food is still good but the service is non existent. The past few times I've ordered take out, I approach the bar to pay for the meal and have to wait usually for service in an empty restaurant. Once I finally receive the bill the waitress walks off before completing the transaction. Last few times the waitress walked off to continue her coversation on the couch with another employee. I did want to request some chopsticks and tip you, but that conversation was more important. Good food, terrible service.

Enjoyed a business lunch with a friend. Service was good but not great. Beautiful Upscale Asian Fusion Restaurant. Everything that I've eaten here over the past several years has been very tasty. One of the five dishes that we had was off but the other dishes were excellent. If the one dish that wasn't quite right had been better and the service had been excellent, I would have given the restaurant a higher rating. Large parking lots. Just off Clearview Pkwy and Veterans Blvd ... easy access.

I just left this amazing restaurant. The food was great. I had the Mandarin Chicken and Shrimp fried rice and it was the best Chinese food ever in Metairie. I been looking for some good Chinese food here since I moved here from New Orleans and I have found it. The food brought me back to the Chinese food I use to get before Katrina. I will be back and I'm looking forward to trying other meals in this facility.

I really enjoyed eating at Cafe East. I liked the decor, the service was friendly and we didn't have to wait at all to be seated on a Sunday. The food was great and I'm not a Chinese food fan. The reason I gave the resturant a 4 is because they had a limited selection for non alcoholic drinks. Overall, I was truly pleased with the food, the service & especially not having to wait ro be seated on a Sunday :-). I'm looking forward to planning a girls outing here really soon. This place is a well kept secret because while the restaurant was not full, there were numerous take out orders being filled.

Public service announcement from a fat man who LOVES Asian food. Stop ordering crappy chinese from the instant woks. (Where they pull frozen "chicken" out of a freezer and heat it up) Go to Cafe East. Google it, get real chicken, not gristle batter. It costs the same as crappy Chinese, but it is GOOD Chinese. It will be like the moment you realized how much better wet wipes are than toilet paper, you will kick yourself for doing it wrong for so, so much of your life. At least I did, on both counts.
