East 21

This restaurant is the best. This is the best Chinese/japanese I have ever had living in New York for 26 years. They do fantastic classic New York Chinese dishes, as well as a blend of Japanese sushi. They never get it wrong, make accommodations to your order, the food is super high quality and delicious. I highly recommend here.

Best Chinese food in the neighborhood! They make general tso's tofu that's actually spicy, and they give you noodles with your hot and sour soup without acting like it's a huge deal! Will be ordering from them again!

l live in woodside and I have a very sensitive stomach and this place always exceeds my expectations. The fish quality here is always fresh. I recommend this place!

Sushi is really good surprisingly. Entrees are also delish. I always order through Grubhub and they always deliver before estimated time. Food is consistently on point taste wise however that being said I only ordered dishes that I know would be hard to mess up. Updated Review: Order a few more times from place and had to change my 3 star rating to 5 stars! Delivery man extremely polite, food arrives constantly piping out(I live 20 blocks from this place). Taste and quality on point...really delicious curry chicken.

Some of the best General Tsos chicken I've had in the area, the sushi was good as well fresh even after delivery

I have been ordering here a lot lately, ever since summer of this year 2020, after the pandemic has cool down from it peak. The reason why this is my favorite Chinese food because of the great quality, quantity and price. My house is about 1.3 miles away so this is definitely not the closest Chinese food near me and if I look at the map there is at least 5+ other Chinese foods that are more nearer to me than East 21. I have always been ordering beef and broccoli and general tso chicken, time to time also the Japanese side of the menu. The taste is really good, and best part is the price you paid ratio to the quantity you get, that is unbeatable. They give you a really good amount. Many other Chinese food has increased their price after the pandemic, that’s understandable but what is bad is that they start to give you less quantity even though you are paying more now than before. I have tried many other Chinese food and this one give about 30%+ more amount of beef and broccoli compare to some other ones (depends which other restaurant, some I could even say 50% more broccoli and meat). Some Chinese food they are really cutting corners, giving so much rice and so little broccoli and beef. If you haven’t try from here, I do recommend try it at least once and you can compare to the other Chinese food you go to and judge for yourself if this place is better or not. My money is always spend worth in this place. Satisfied service. Hope they continue to serve the community with the current standard of service, I will always support and order from here when it time for Chinese food.

I always order my chinese takeout from here. They fed me when times were rough. Always on point deliveries. Thank you for your service✊✊✊✊ I always get sesame chicken and fried chicken wings here occasionally the sushi, PRETTY GUCCI

I've only ever gotten delivery, so I don't know about atmosphere. The Eel Teriyaki combo is OUT OF THIS WORLD. It is my all-time Favorite meal and I'd get it every day if I could. Try it! It is Always Perfect, Never Disappoints. They let me substitute a diet coke for the soup, and steamed dumplings for the Tempura, as my system can't handle deep fry anything. LOVE THIS PLACE.

This spot is one of the og lowkey gems of the Jackson Heights/Woodside–Roosevelt area. The sushi is always fresh — I’ve been ordering here for years and never once had an issue. While they don’t offer dine-in service, the quality and consistency of their food more than make up for it. With unbeatable prices and flavors that never disappoint, it’s easy to see why so many of us locals have stayed loyal all these years. I’ve been coming here since the early 2000s, and it’s still one of my go-to spots in the neighborhood. Pro tip: consider calling them directly when you order instead of using third-party delivery apps — you’ll notice the price difference, and you’ll be helping them out too.

It’s great for the price! The girl on the phone is always nice. I will say the delivery guy is pretty grumpy, no matter how much I tip honestly he usually seems grumpy. But that won’t stop me from ordering. Maybe he has a lot going on in his life

Order for takeout late at night and the employees were really nice with me. Order didn’t took long and the were friendly while I was waiting. Food was okay but didn’t like how color of the raw fish looked on my food. Overall an okay place to grab a quick bite with family or when you’re feeling lazy to cook!

Its your typical Sushi spot, I ordered salmon, tuna, shrimp, crab Sushi and salmon roll. I wouldn't say it was freshest but it wasn't bad either but I've had better. They do use natural ginger and the pieces were well portioned. I also ordered seafood soup, and it reminded me of shrimp w/ lobster sauce consistency & it had shrimp, scallops & crab meat. It was OK, again typical flavor, nothing to rave about but good. However, to be fair, need to try more of their food.

I've ordered takeout from this Chinese-owned sushi restaurant a couple of times. They offer a mix of sushi, Japanese dishes, and classic Chinese takeout options. The food is decent, and the prices are reasonable, but it's nothing extraordinary. I'd suggest keeping your expectations moderate.

I am writing to formally complain about the unacceptable behavior of one of your delivery drivers. This was, without exaggeration, one of the worst delivery experiences I have ever had. The driver called me and shouted at me, claiming that he could not find me at my residence. This accusation was completely false. I had been standing and waiting at the entrance for a long time, specifically to avoid any inconvenience. I calmly told him that I was already waiting outside. Instead of listening, he continued to raise his voice and aggressively told me to open the door, insisting that he had arrived at my unit. I repeated, again, that I was standing outside and had been waiting for quite some time. It later became obvious that he had gone to the wrong floor. Despite this being entirely his mistake, he never apologized—not even once. On top of that, when he finally handed me the food, he did so rudely and with clear frustration, practically shoving the bag at me. This level of behavior is completely unacceptable in any customer-facing service. No matter how good your food may be, service like this makes customers never want to order again. I strongly urge you to address this issue and correct the behavior of your delivery staff, as experiences like this seriously damage your reputation.

I just ordered , 2 orders of Spicy California rolls , and One order of spicy salmon, I am allergic to salmon hence two orders of Spicy cal rolls , they sent everything in one dish regular California rolls bunches together with the salom rolls. So I won’t be able to eat my California rolls . Called and the girl on the phone was rude , did not try to resolve the issue . Told me I did not tell her separate . If I ask for two order of Spicy California rolls and one order is salmon common sense it’s separate . She was so rude I was in shock .
