The East Chinese & Japanese Restaurant
Restaurant details
Reviewed 20 July 2017

There are a couple of Chinese restaurants in Great Barrington, Great Wall, Koi, and The East. And I have to admit, I end up at The East more often than not.

They do have a sushi bar, but I've never had it. (The town has Bizen, why go anywhere else?)

Great Wall is more of your, college budget, it's greasy, it's cheap, kind of place. Koi, is good, but I always find the service... well, as if you're bothering them to be there.

The East is just right. Very helpful staff, attention to detail, and always good food. Not too expensive either. Parking is easy, large parties are easy, and their takeout is always great.
So there. It's good, honest food when you're in the mood for Chinese. And a lot closer than getting on a 18hour flight to Beijing. Trust me, I know.

A nice place to get Chinese food for lunch. There is complimentary chinese noodles with a duck sauce dip, they were a bit oily but it did not affect the taste. I ordered General Tso Chicken and Crab Rangoon, my girlfriend got Chicken with Broccoli. Both of the meals came with a small bowl of rice. The general tso was exactly how I like it, crunchy on the outside. The crab rangoon was also just as good as I expected it, along with the sauce it came with which I believe was sweet and sour. My girlfriend enjoyed her chicken with broccoli as well. We went during a slower part of the day and the service was good and helpful. Overall, a good restaurant to eat in for a good price.

We ate at The East twice for the Labor Day weekend while we in Great Barrington MA. Our Hotel was walking distance. Our boys loved the food. We ate Sushi, Salmon , and other great dishes. The services and staff was very professional and price was fine. Thanks again for your great food.

While not deserving of a Michelin star, The East is our go-to place for Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Reasonably priced and family friendly, we can get by with 3 entrees for a family of five. Dare I say that the sushi here is better than the Japanese place down the road? The same could be said for their miso. Family favorites include Sesame Chicken, Pork Lo Mein, and Moo-shoo Pork. We are always satisfied after eating here.
