East Side Chef

Came here on an afternoon, the place was clean, perfect customer service, the food was great, gotta say best in town. 5 stars.

Food is absolutely amazing and everything done within 15mins of ordering! We ordered the party trays consisiting of the honey walnut shrimp, orange chicken, and chicken chow mein. Now, I'll mention that my husband and I eat out often and have tried so many Chinese restaurants from the Bay Are, to South Sac, through Placerville, and all the way up to Chico and there's honestly no place like this here! I'll start with our first dish. The honey walnut shrimp was very clean, perfect amount of flavor and stripped of the poop (lol). Many restaurants make it sloppy, have poop in them, too zesty and some even taste like it just came out of the sea! The second dish was the Orange chicken. I never tasted orange chicken like this! The meat is very tender, it also tastes like real chicken and the crips is delightful - not battered. In my experience, I've always had soggy orange chicken, dry meat, squishy meat or too zesty. The last dish was the chicken chow mein. My goodness, I swear, it gets better and better here! The chicken chow mein is the spaghetti noodle type and not like the ugly thin ones at panda express. The seasoning is the perfect amount, enough to have all flavors run you wild lol. On top of that, the bean sprouts aren't excessively added into the dish - you dont gotta keep picking them out to enjoy your food (lol). Lastly, the location of the plaza is great. It isn't crowded and so much parking avaliable you can transition the food with ease. The inside of the restaurant itself is very clean, customer service is smooth, and to mention again, they're so fast! I would say this place is exceptional for the price, location, fast service, and i forgot to mention, THEY ARE NOT GREEDY WITH THE AMOUNT THEY SERVE YOU! However, I do understand that we ALL have different preferences and taste buds but I give this place an A+ and will only order from here from this day and so on . Until then, you decide 😊

Since I love sweet, my favorite item of theirs is the mandarine shrimp which are coated in a clear, sweet glaze that is absolutely divine mixed into the pork fried rice and the chowmein slurped up alongside! I'm an addict. The lunch plate is generous and reasonably priced. They get all five stars from me, just for this dish.
