OK. Talk about good prices from the past! (sorta) So my husband suggested this great idea of stopping by here for lunch today because he used to go here with his friends and family back in the day. He bragged about how good it was and how the price was totally unmatched from other places. He was totally right! We all ordered the lunch special and it was eleven bucks. It came with your choice of one entree, rice, chowmein, choice of soup, and one eggroll. Pretty awesome huh. The service was excellent, you can hear them make your food and it felt like we only waited for 10 mins. The only one thing I'll comment on was that my main entree was a bit too salty and my husband also agreed that his entree was also too salty, but overall still good. Lastly, the environment was a total early 2000s Chinese Restaurant vibe. They weren't busy when we went so my first time experiencing eating here was pretty neat. The hostess and waiter were very accommodating and friendly. Totally coming back here to try more. Come try out this place if you haven't if you're down in Carson City, cheers. read more

Foods pretty good. They are one of my favorite go to Chinese food places in Carson because they are pretty consistent in their food delivery. Love their lemon chicken and their Mongolian beef! read more

Always attentive staff, fairly broad selection of food, but what they offer is fresh AND well made. House curry stick noodle is excellent. Shrimp fried rice is fantastic! Prices are affordable and it is always clean. read more

We love this Asian restaurant. They have a great lunch special. 10.00. Rice, noodles with chicken, main entree', egg roll, soup. Can't go wrong! It's clean, always friendly, and quick. The special runs till 3:00 pm. The portion is plenty. Although it seems they have downsized the portion a tad but Still plenty of food. We really enjoy coming here. I love their hot and sour soup. I could just eat that! So.... When in Carson check them out. Right off the 50 hwy about 1/2 mile. Yes I forgot to get pics. I was so excited about eating lunch, yep... I forgot! Oopsie!! read more

First time here. I have been wanting to try it but the road work out front kept me away. So glad I finally made it in. The service is excellent! The food is delicious. The portion sizes are huge. And the tea...the tea is amazing. I couldn't get enough. I'm assuming she is the owner, said she made the tea special herself. I loved the tea so much I went out and purchased some to make at home. Don't be discouraged by the road work, give this place a try. read more

Another OUTSTANDING food order! ALWAYS so fresh, fast and friendly! Our family just LOVE China East... best in Carson City!!! We always come home, rip into the food and all look at each other halfway thru the meal and say, "everything's PERFECT!" read more

Super good super fast. They have been great for years. Lots of lunch options and generous portions for a special.

This is one of my fav Chinese restaurant. Every time I come to Reno or any where nearby I make sure to visit this restaurant, this time I came with my 3year old. I was so touched my their gesture as we ordered food for two people and some shrimps for my 3 year as she usually eats rice so as their quantity was more than enough I shared my rice with her. But the waiter served separate soup and a small glass of water with a straw so that my kid can drink from it. that touched me a lot. Their service was super fast and I always get calm surrounding. They also have a curb side pick up. read more

China East is probably the most affordable, option in town, and they've been serving consistent quality Chinese cuisine for many years. The service, and the kitchen, is quick. I've dined in on a few occasions, but usually order ahead and pick up from the drive-thru window- a unique feature for a cooked to order establishment that super convenient Note: Drive Thur is for phone orders only, so if you want to use the drive through call ahead, read more

All the other Asian places closed on Sunday? Not this one! And what a treat! Oh how wonderful! A REAL Chinese restaurant! I've been driving past this place for years and wondered about it. Finally went and I'm just gonna say it will be a long time before some of the others get me to come back as this is an EXTENSIVE MENU! Written in English and Chinese, the server and cooks are Chinese and were talking away, in their native tongue, while we ate our meal, an added bonus for the ambiance. I fell in love with the place right off as they bring you water, no straws, and hot tea without you asking! The dishes all match with that red border seen in many Chinese diners. Ok. So. The food!!! Starting with a most flavorful egg flower soup! So tired of others not bringing it with the flavor, this was yummy! I ordered the Shrimp Chow Fun (Chow-He Fen, I'm guessing is the right and proper name of the dish as listed in the menu) we often order this to see if a place is good and WOW! Shrimp was cooked perfectly the Wide rice noodles were perfection and although they receive their noodles on Tuesday they were not sticking together on Sunday! The sauce was so good and I'm guessing it was the best onion in Carson City that night as it was sweet and just right. Tasty! Ray ordered the Sweet and Sour Trio which in this day and age we did not have to ask for rice to accompany it, as most used to do, they just brought it (no extra fee I might add). Chicken, pork and nice big prawns battered and red with sauce, could have licked the plate. Not crowded, no wait at all, Our food was quick and hot. A table of two and then eight came while we dined and it was not noticeably noisy. The chairs may be a newly done upholstery, eggplant and gold, very attractive, comfortable. No booths. Just tables. Oh! And in summer you can eat outside in their patio or anytime you can do drive thru! A VERY happy experience and reasonably priced. Thank you China East for hosting us and making our experience authentic! read more

Servers are efficient and attentive, absolutely fantastic prices and meal specials, and delicious food. This place is a super cute Carson City staple.

First time at China East was an excellent experience! Had plenty to choose from on their lunch menu. I ended up getting the Generals chicken, served with fried rice & chow mein. It also included an egg roll with sweet & sour/ hot mustard dipping sauce. Your choice of egg drop or hot & sour soup. I choose the hot & sour soup, which was delicious! The lunch meal was plentiful, tasty, & really affordable! Service was super fast & friendly.I highly recommend China East! read more

They are pretty darn good, they do have competition. But something about the consistency keeps their recipes in check and the quality there. I do appreciate a business that doesn't cut corners. The service kind of reminds me of what a New York Chinese restaurant would sound like - very blunt and no time to mess around. "WHAT YOU WANT?!" But I can respect that - no one likes to have their time wasted. We showed up a little bit before closing after calling in for pick up earlier. They asked if we wanted any soup to go along with what we already ordered, as they would just throw it out, we said "HELL YEA!" So we got a couple freebies out of it, which was super kind on the owners end. Nobody wants to be wasteful. We've never actually dined inside as Chinese food is best eaten in the comfort of your own home, watching a series on the couch and crushing general chicken , pot stickers, and low mein ON your 3rd plate and washing it down with your 4th whiskey coke . Yum read more

I love this place- mu shu pork and chicken both tried on different days. Excellent! Why?? They take extra care of the vegetables! Singed vegetables are perfect on both. How do do that and they are still crunchy ? Rarely do I dream about leftovers but I did with this. What more could you ask for! Oh free tea ! You get it. read more

It was Valentines Day between 430 and 5pm when I went to place a takeout order for dinner for my Valentine. The owner's wife came to the counter and gave me a look like I was bothering her that I was even there? And I placed my order and I asked for extra red sauce for our rice, and she said I gave you 1already I said I know but I would like to have another one I will pay for it. She started to argue with me and gave me a Dirty look. So, I got my order and left and when I got home there was not even 1Fortune Cookie in the bag???????????that was Very Disappointing! We could have gone somewhere else to eat but my wife wanted China East. Never again will I go there again. Bad service from the Owners wife no wonder there was no customers there for dinner you have to wonder why I sure don't! That lady is running their business to the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE and the Chicken Chow Mein sucked as well. Next time I will go to Panda Kitchen! read more

Been here multiple times. Came Wednesday and got dinner for our family 77 dollars plus another 13.00 for another meal for someone. We all ended up sick including my toddler who ate noodles and rice. Called to let them know the next morning since all we had was them the day before and was told nothing we can do. Really. For 100.00 you could do something. It seems like everything we eat from this place 1 or all end up sick that's why we stopped going for awhile then here we are again sick. I posted on a carson city group on Facebook about what happened and come to find out it's happened to several other people same day. Nope not again. Do not eat here go someplace else unless you want to end up sick read more

Over all the food is ok for American Chinese food. Prices are up but that's understandable with the economy. But the service sucks. Go through the drive-through and they are never nice. The owner lady sometimes takes your order and on one occasion I hesitated for a second remembering what my wife wanted and she snapped at me and said, "well hurry up, what do you want! " in a very rude tone. Then there is also a guy in the drive-up window and I always say hi and thank you. He also has never said thank you or hello. A little kindness goes a long way if you value your customers. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place they take forever to give you your food. The inside looks messy. The food isn't the best it tastes very artificial and bland read more

This has to be the best Chinese food I have had here in Carson City. A little soy sauce can go a long way, but I haven't had any surprises as I'm eating (y'know those chewy meaty parts..) We usually phone in our order and their service is quick and efficient, despite our big order of egg rolls (the best). It's been a while since dining in, but every time we pick up, there is always diners inside the clean well decorated restaurant. And I think they open Mondays now! read more

Had high hopes as I went there before. Egg roll was inside box meal...Soggy! This was definitely premade and not fresh. Hot & sour soup was lacking in many ways, mostly corn starch and water. Beef broccoli was in a red sauce and sauce was thicker than hot sour base. Chili, asked for chili and they told me $1.00 for a smaller container. Not included with meal! Chow mein, last time I was here it was better and fresher. Tastes like it was premade ahead of time read more

Another adventure to another Chinese restaurant here in Carson City. Again I struck out on beef stew here. I was talking with the waitress/ probably owner, she told me they have twiced cooked pork belly, I will definitely have to come and try. I tried the dinner special of curry beef. The dinner special included appetizers and soup. The soup choices were egg drop or hot & sour, that was a easy choice, hot & sour definitely, the soup was pretty darn good but the only thing lacking was white pepper to use. The appetizers were three items consisting of a deep fried shrimp, a deep fried spring roll and a white meat foil wrapped chicken, all of them not bad but not my cup of tea. On with the main meal of curry beef. This curry dish was not the saucy type but a stir fried version with not overcooked vegetables like other styles. It had for vegetables bell peppers and yellow onions and one snow pea. I'm not as keen on this method of curry, I prefer a longer cooking process method. I also abhor the use of red chilies and dried chili flakes. They irritate the stomach terribly and it bothers me I download. Sorry it affects everyone differently but my digestive system doesn't agree with it. read more

Good food . We ordered for pick up . You get large orders, so the price matches . Recommend

Yum! Always nice to find a really affordable place with good food! This place has lunch specials 7 days a week with lots of options. They come with a cup of either egg flower or hot & sour soup, fried rice (yum!), chow mein (eh, not a ton of flavor), entree of your choice, egg roll, and hot tea. Server wasn't super friendly but the price and the quality of the food made up for it. I'm not a fan of chicken thighs and was happy to see they used great quality chicken breast for the lemon chicken. Will definitely be back! It was $21.50 for two lunch specials and a soda. read more

First attempt and it was just okay. Nothing special, nothing that bad, just typical American Chinese food. Good price for sure. We ordered their dinner special that came with soup and egg rolls and other things. Hot sour soup was good. Sweet sour pork was also good, not too much breading, but quite skimpy on the sauce. Fried rice was bland, had to sprinkled little bit salt. The seafood menu was not too impressive due the chewy scallops, and again the sauce was bland. Thickness of the sauce was good tho. Service was very nice. read more

We came here for Father's Day (hubby's pick) today. Let's just say don't judge a book by its cover. Our expectations were blown! First, it's obvious this is a family-run restaurant, which we love to support. The staff are all friendly and very attentive. And the food came out smoking fast! We ordered the garlic chicken, orange chicken, chow main, foil-wrapped chicken and plain fried chicken for the kids. Everything was super fresh and flavorful. We feasted, and were pleased to see we ordered plenty for our leftover dinner tonight. As the kids said, this place is 10/10! read more

Super happy we finally got to try this spot, definitely worth it. Very homey, the food was delicious and portions were greatly generous, plus the lovely service at the drive through window was the best. I'm mad at myself for not getting her name, but whoever worked the drive through window on June 9th 2023 is a doll, very sweet and personable. We were there for five mins (we had called ahead to order) and we definitely agree we found our new spot! My fiancé is a chef and watched the cook working the wok and immediately got excited because of the "technical skill" I'm not so idk how to spot that and took his word for it haha read more

I found this place searching on Yelp for "Chinese Buffet" so I was in the mood for a buffet, but they don't do that for dinner at least. I didn't see an obvious buffet area, so maybe not buffet for lunch either? Not sure. I was hungry and fine with ordering something, so I decided to stay sans-buffet. Always happy to check out a new place! A waitress greeted me politely and gave me a little guidance towards the tables I should select from. I knew I was on the leading edge of the dinner period (4PM) and as a single didn't want to hog a large table, so picked one of the few tables for two on the near-side of the dining room. As I was sitting down I noticed that even though the table had place settings and "ready for use" it was pretty apparent that the table itself was dirty. There was an obvious glob of something that the waitress casually took care of with a rag from her pocket... but once I sat down and saw the reflection on the top of the table in the room lighting, I could tell that table clearly hadn't been properly cleaned. I decided not to freak out and move to a different table (honestly, as long as the place mats and plates/bowls are clean... I'm cool... I've eaten under much worse conditions and survived). I ordered Hot & Sour soup and General Chicken... and I asked for extra garlic in the General Chicken as I usually do. Both of these dishes are designated as "spicy" in the menu, and that's exactly what I was looking for since I had a bit of a head cold and my sinuses were clogged - I always crave spicy food when my head is all stuffed up. The dishes came out and had good presentation and plating... but unfortunately, I felt things fell short in the flavor department. Even after accounting for my taste buds being a little out-of-whack due to the cold, the flavor and spice I was looking for just wasn't there. It's the first time I could think of that Hot & Sour soup didn't help clear my sinuses. I'll likely try this place again and if my experience is better, will be happy to update my review. I was simply underwhelmed this time. read more

Food was ok. I've been here many times. Usually I order to go because CUSTOMER SERVICE is terrifying! The owner, the female lady, she is very rude, pushy, very arrogant. I'm not one to speak poorly about people, she just hasn't change. She's worse now! Her Hispanic employees are rude just like her as well! I'm saying Hispanic cuz I'm Hispanic as well and you would think they would treat me right. Everyone should be treated with kindness, with respect. We ARE PAYING CUSTOMERS! THIS OWNER ACTS LIKE WE OWE HER SOMETHING! Plus there was a fly all over my food! The fly was a lot kinder than the owner. At least when I asked the fly to respect my food it did. I got some respect somewhere in that restaurant. Lol read more

Prices are good. But as for the food... I ordered sesame chicken, which is noted as being spicy. It came with fried rice and egg flower soup. Everything was bland, the chicken was soggy and tasteless, and the soup watered down. Had to practically drown everything in liquid aminos and sriracha to make it edible in the slightest. Honestly, Panda Express would be a better decision than eating at this place. Save yourself the trouble and get your Chinese food fix at literally ANY other restaurant nearby. read more
