Wonderful delicious large portions, and the friendliest service. Prices are worth the food, which they make just the way you ask them to. I adore going to this restaurant, which I consider my fav in Crescent City. Large comfy booths and great friendly vibes !! K & R read more

Came here for takeout while heading back south after a trip over the Oregon border. Found it very much to be a typical Chinese American restaurant, mainly meant for carryout. The portions were large, prices were good, and everything was accurate. We ended up ordering too much (since we didn't know the portion sizes), and absolutely would have eaten it for multiple meals if we were closer to home. We arrived into Crescent City at around 3 pm, and I had looked at the menu on-line before arriving so knew what to order. The menu does not include an ingredient list, so asked if the twice cooked pork had zucchini...sure enough, it did (it must be used as filler in this area), so I asked it to be removed. They replaced it with green pepper instead. I was warned that the chow fun would take 30 minutes to complete, which I agreed to. Paid and waited. Sure enough, it did take that time, so appreciated the heads-up. Drinks are through bottles/cans and they had various sodas available. All dishes were presented in those styrofoam lunch containers, so the amount of food given was huge. Twice cooked pork ($16), Shrimp Chow Fun ($18), Mongolian Beef ($18). Only gave us one rice, though (should have been two). It took about 70 minutes to get back to our hotel near Eureka, so intentionally chose dishes that would travel well (i.e. no deep fried dishes). We made it just in time for Game 4 of the NBA Finals (Spurs blew the biggest lead in a NBA finals game). The food was good: plenty of good quality meat in each dish, and I especially liked the Chow Fun (delicious sauce). read more

I came in after driving from Redwood NP/SP and stayed in Crescent City. I ordered the Singapore chicken noodles. It was a large size for one person. I liked that they give it to you on a go box but you can sit in restaurant and eat it. I ate a little less than a half, it was a lot. They have a large indoor booth seating. The service was great, she was super friendly came over to talk to me for a few minutes and was attentive. The noodles were a little bit salty for me but I like less salty for me. Other than that it was delish. read more

Always review your itemized receipt immediately after ordering! My total felt wrong, but I didn't fully realize the error until after she demanded her tip while I was still standing there confused by the pricing. When I asked for a breakdown, I found she had overcharged me by $9. When I pointed out the math, she rudely cut me off and just said "no." She clearly added a hidden $9 fee on top of pushing for a tip at checkout. If I had known I was already secretly charged that extra $9, I never would have tipped at the end! Wish I took the time to read previous reviews this looks to be a common issue. read more

Great food. Although it is served in to go boxes, it was very fresh, full of vegetables, Great cuts of beef and chicken. The vegetables were very fresh. The oil was very fresh. The egg rolls were crisp and delicious and the service was delightful read more

Tried to order food here but they can't make anything without MSG and I can't have MSG. I am highly sensitive and it gives me migraines. Whomever answered the phone was rude about it. read more

I just love that when I come in and place an order, it's cooked fresh and served hot. Excellent selection of some really good Chinese food. Their afternoon buffet is just that, a buffet but if you want fresh cooked, order at the counter. Their new location is very clean and a chill atmosphere. Service is always pleasant and friendly staff. read more

Stay away from this place they pretty much have children running the place food we got was mediocre no flavor ingredients seem old what a shame you got a new location and fumbled the quality guess I'll keep going to Brookings for Asian food or make it myself or at this point just have my 12 year old copy your bland expensive shitty food read more

Pretty decent all around American Chinese restaurant where the sit down dining is limited due to the owners preference stemming from the Covid lockdown, has one of the most reasonable prices for the buck. With the recent trend of hyperinflation and additional 22% tip culture that is blowing through the California like the wildfires in August, majority of the restaurants are suffering from lack of customers. Therefore, the servers are leaving the restaurant industry and many places had shuttered for good. Not this one. The dinner size food averages only $14-16 with generous steamed rice for free. The ingredients are healthy and lots of protein and shrimps. I liked the big tough and chewy Mongolian Beef and crispy Kung Pao Pork and salty Salt and Pepper chicken. The four major dishes were enough to feed five adults for two Christmas dinners! read more

There's not too many food options in Crescent City..seems like. The Thai spot down the block didnt pick up their phone. Far East was quick to pick up. I ordered the chicken fried rice, chicken chow mein and their kung pao chicken. I think their customer service is great. There are tons of cars parked outside waiting for their "to go" orders. Several ladies come out constantly to check you in, get your payment and bring your order to you. They are quick and friendly! The food - Can I make a suggestion to give a little less food?! TOO MUCH food. Great for families. Not so much for individuals or couples. Or they could have family style portions and smaller "lunch" portions all day. That prevents food waste and they could charge less for the smaller portions too. Food was not bad- very basic chinese food. The fried rice was the saddest I have seen fried rice in a long time. Just rice and chicken. NO little peas, carrots, eggs. Fried rice always has some sort of veggies even if it's the cheap little veggie mix. Chow mein was not bad. Kung Pao was the winner- flavorful, a little kick of spice. Just food overload. Not bad if you're craving chinese food. read more

We ate there last Friday. We understand it's not a typ restaurant n service but the food is pretty good n hot. I like their chow mein,it's yummm. Beef in blk bean sauce had a delicious mix of vegetables, very good. read more

I heard the chow mein was good and I don't usually like chow mein but I took a chance on the pork chow mein and it was quite good. It was fast and very hot even after driving home. The proportions are also very large and the people working here seem very kind. read more

Went to the new sit down place. They pointed to the take out menu. We asked if we could sit they said ok and showed us the eat in menu, reluctantly. Asked about the Horrible squealing noise they said "wind". Reshut door and fixed it. After we sat, my daughter went up to ask for glasses of water. They said they don't serve water, we had to buy bottled water from the refrigerator. Seriously????? Is that even legal? We walked out. Not going back. That is the basics of customer service. read more

Tried Far East for the first time and it did not disappoint! It was delicious! We ordered the Kung Pao Beef, Sweet and Spicy Garlic Chicken (AMAZING!), Won Ton Soup and the sautéed Mixed vegetables. Everything was great! They were busy with take out orders but they let me know it would be a 30-35 min wait and that was exactly what it was. I will definitely come back here! And so happy for them to move to their new space on the 101N.! read more

Currently they are only offering takeout. Door was great! portions huge! One order of Szechuan chicken is enough for at least two people. Spice levels are great. read more

We love this place! Chinese food is our favorite, and this is, by far, our favorite Chinese food. We have been calling here for our orders for years. My husband calls, and the owner has it ready as soon as 20-30 minutes. They know him by his voice, and know our order. He goes down to pick it up, and it smells delicious. It always is. We are never disappointed. We order a lot of food, and eat it over two days. My favorite dish is the egg foo young, My husband's is the sweet and sour prawns. We both eat house chow mien and fried rice. We always eat at home, so not sure if the restaurant is disabled friendly or if there is even indoor eating anymore there. The people who own and run the the restaurant are wonderful. They want the customers to enjoy their meals, that's for sure. If you love Chinese food and haven't tried Far East, it might be time, to call and place your order soon. read more

Delicious food! It's hard to find good Chinese food in the area, but this is one of them. They do to-go only. Don't be put off by sign, it's super good. We had the General chicken & vegetable chow mein. The chicken could have been more spicy, but other than that, it was lean and good. read more

Fried rice tastes like very salty old restaurant oil. Waste of money. I couldn't continue eating it.. Nearly $20 for garbage.

Great food and great people! This is our go-to Chinese food place! We go here at least once a week and never fails to fulfill our cravings read more

I love the chow mein!! It's amazing, also order the orange chicken you will not regret it!

Too much onion, greasy and not the authentic Chinese food the owner raved about. Egg foo yung was very undercooked. Sauce for Katsu was too watery. Owner asked me to give him a call and let him know how the food was but I decided not too unless I was going to get some big change refunded. I spent a lot of money here and really disappointed with everything. I called in my order only to have a young child answer. Very unprofessional. No indoor dining because of Covid. read more

This restaurant is only offering take-out options. We ordered the veg chow mein and kung pao tofu, both of which were delicious. We particularly enjoyed the chow mein. We placed our order over the phone and picked it up within 30 minutes, at which point the food was already prepared. The lady working there kindly offered to bring the food to our car. Overall, we had a great experience picking up our food and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. read more

It's disgusting! 21 dollars a plate! Tiny pieces of chicken covered in thick overcooked batter fried in dirty oil! Thick Ramen noodles also covered in dirty grease. It left a layer of grease on my lounge. I wouldn't have been back because the buffet used to make me sick. My daughter said they had new owners so I thought I'd give it a try. Please don't waste your hard earned money here!​ read more

This was once one of the best places to have Chinese food. The food was always prepared with fresh ingredients and very tasty. I wish I could say that now, but the quality has deteriorated to the extent of being non consumable. Not sure if ownership has changed hands, but I can definitely say the food we ordered was old and stale. It didn't even smell like Chinese food. They used to have dine in, and now you can only call in and pick up, but that is not why the poor review. read more

Very good! Generous servings and always hot and fresh. Have got this for my family everytime we visit cresent city and it never disappoints! We get stuffed and still have leftovers. We like to have a lemon on hand if we order the lemon chicken just to give it a little zing because it is on the sweet side. read more

Chinese restaurants in our local area have closed their doors for indoor dining. Unfortunately they are providing to go orders. So this particular restaurant; brought my food out. It smelled really bad and tasted even worse. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

I am so sad they are temporarily closed. I hope they are ok! There food is so good

The food is great, service is fast and friendly, and the prices can't be beat. Always enjoy hitting up Far East when I stop into town.

I LOVE Chinese food but this was the worst food I have ever tried. The chow mien actually smelled so bad I threw it out. The sweet and sour pork was small clumps of pork with very little sauce and no pineapple, onions or peppers. The egg roll was so greasy my wife could hardly stand it and threw it out as well. On top of that we picked up a "current" menu at their door before ordering and they charged over $5 more than it should of been. $36 for two and we threw most of it away. This place is awful! read more
