★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really nice atmosphere along with great vegetarian/vegan Asian food, I was convinced that the jackfruit baos were actually pork belly at first! Also loved their cocktail selection utilising Sake and Shochu to name a few, very original and also not too sweet which is what I prefer.
One thing that was a bit odd was that I had around 4 waiters in rotation kept asking me if I wanted to order food/drink and none of them seemed to communicate with one another that I had already ordered, very minor observation.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great food, good service, 90% vegan. Great to be able to pick a wine knowing it's vegan. Every course was delicious, you must have the jack fruit pancakes, and the shiso salt edemame.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ East is such a great find in CBD. The flavours are bold, spicy, saucy and everything you want from an East Asian inspired restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive. Only thing was that we asked for a recommendation to accompany our Peking jackfruit and was recommended a mushroom dish that tasted extremely similar.
Still a great place that I’ll definitely be recommending! Cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Review from a meatlover:
I am one of those people who say "If there isn't meat, it isn't a meal" haha!
BUT this was some Stunning food. From the presentation to flavour. Burst of zingy, zesty flavours in every dish. Can't really pick which one was my favourite. The staff was amazing as well and overall intimate vibe.
Don't miss out on Caramelised eggplant, Larb, Yellow Curry, Som tam salad (but that one is pretty spicy). I mean.. Any choice from the menu, you won't go wrong!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely superb. Delicious. Amazing.
We were absolutely blown away by our dinner at East! Whether you’re vegan like me or a big meat-lover, you will no doubt love the food here. Every single dish was absolutely FULL of flavour. We loved every meal, the staff were friendly, the music was great, I have nothing bad to say.
Quick review of the meals we ordered:
We started off with three Miang Kham, betel leaf, bamboo, toasted coconut and chilli. Light and fun, these were a great starter and coated in a dreamy peanut sauce.
The Shittake Mushrooms in XO Sauce were out of this world. Chewy and gooey and meaty and exquisite. Both the texture of the shroom and the powerful flavour of the sauce was an unbeatable combo. ?
The Spicy Garlic Eggplant was also a total winner, the eggplant melting in my mouth and leaving this moreish, umami flavour.
The Peking Jackfruit Pancakes were super fun to make. Fresh, sticky, lime-y, how DOES one get jackfruit to look and taste so meaty?
Absolutely 10/10. We will be back soon for more!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Incredibly delicious. This restaurant serves vegetarian vegan food but you probably wouldn’t notice. A multitude of these dishes are also vegan friendly as you can imagine. This is a must-try destination for foodies looking for a creative take on classic and fusion Asian dishes alike. The express menu is available most days for a quick meal plus a drink or try the normal menu for larger portions to share. Great spot for dates as the venue is very classy too. Cost per person is on the pricier side but you absolutely get what you pay for.
