    Friendly service! The food is nothing special, but reasonably priced and served with a smile. Great place to hang out as a family!

    BEWARE!!!Awful! Just awful! No security, no money for security, drab,cheap. Teenage and gangster…read morehang out. No families, children for old people seen on my visit today. People are scared to go since they had that shooting in the parking lot out front last year. More than likely, it will close soon. And they'll turn it into another Police station like they did the old Montgomery Mall. So sad, goodbye Eastdale Mall. This used to be the Place to hang out in the '70s and '80s. There are a lot of urban clothing stores gearing towards a particular demographic. I still don't see any mall security driving around the times I take my grandkids to chuck e cheese, and it's dark when we leave. I don't feel safe if you go in there.I don't feel safe taking my family there. There is no security. Although they have a sign saying, teenagers must be accompanied by a parent in the evening on weekends, it is not enforced. I see people teenagers being dropped off there. There's also a sign on the door no weapons allowed. Wouldn't have many customers if they put up a metal detector as I can guarantee you most of those rough looking gangster.Types are packing heat when going inside the mall. What today and made a photo of Spencer's, have fond memories of when I took my son there. I wanted to send him a photo. I don't see many cameras around inside the main mall corridor or in the parking lot. The food court is closed totally and got it out. They need to update their google facts about them mall. It is inaccurate, the ice skating rent closed years ago. There is a roller skating rink. Now, that was totally dead in the late afternoon. There was some kind of restaurant that used to be there that has closed. It is not a welcoming place. You feel like a minority in a secret membership club. Dirty floors and bathrooms. Selling cheap cell phones, cheap jewelry stores, cheap kids toys, cell phone repairs. Cheap sunglasses, watches every kiosk that can sell cheap stuff Is there. Meanwhile, all the nice stores are closing and leaving for good reason! It's very sad. It used to be a nice small, you used to see families and children but not anymore. Even my kids don't want me taking the grandkids after that shooting, they say, "Go to Eastchase!" There are no more nice decorations. There is no money, no more flowers in the planters outside. Since the home store closed over a year ago, no one knew has moved in in that spot. Before that, it was Sears, before that, it was Montgomery.Ward, when I used to work there. Maybe that's why the renter cop didn't want me making photos of all the stores that closed. He said, people don't want their photos taken and posted, I explained to him one picture I was making for my son and some other pictures of different and new stores to post on facebook check in as free advertising. Guess they don't want free advertising their businesses booming without it! I still shop at Dillard's outlet there. But they have the entrance to the mall blocked off. Chuck Cheese has very slow busines. The manager told me they were trying to relocate to Eastchase Mall, Iguess it didn't work out. I honestly don't see how the mall is still open. I thought the rent a cops harassment was ignorant, aggressive and rude. As far as yelling at me about making photos was unprofessional and unfounded. There are no pictures or signs, forbidden photography within them all, and the code of conduct when you first walk into the mall like in a high school. It says nothing about such a rule. It mainly concentrates on violent behavior because they realize what kind of demographic population is shopping and hanging out there! Many of the kiosks in the middle are standing empty as you can see on the photos. Really? Getting bent out of shape. It's really funny to me because there weren't even any people there for me to make pictures of. The place was totally dead, and this was in the late afternoon on a Friday. There used to be nice music playing Over the speakers, There was nothing music no atmosphere.They took down FB reviews, no new posts .

    This place was just OK. They had a few stores that were worth checking out prices a little more…read moreexpensive than on certain things that it has some cool public art in the fountain that I like to see.

    This place was awful. I wasn't expecting much from food court Chinese food, but this went beyond…read moresimply mediocre. There were a handful of issues that turn a decent place to get Chinese into a place that you should never go to. I went there with a few friends of mine, and I was the second to go. My first friend ordered a small plate of chicken with white rice. Her order went fairly smoothly, even if the woman serving wasn't exactly the kindest person. Don't worry. There was much more to come. When I got up, all I said was that I'd like a medium plate, and before I could even say what rice I wanted she dumped a healing amount of fried rice on my plate. Okay. What would normally be fairly poor service turned into something completely and utterly confusing considering she had given my friend even two seconds to say the rice she wanted. Then she gave me my chicken, I payed, and I sat down. The instant she finished putting the chicken in the tray I realized that there was a full corner of the tray that didn't have anything in it. Once again, a move that starts out annoying until more information becomes clear. I looked at my friend's small tray, and we had the same amount of chicken. And as all my other friends sat down, I noticed that we all had different amounts of food. Frankly, I don't understand Chinese Cafe. There's nothing about it that's good. The food is mediocre, the service is inconsistent, and the woman who serves you clearly had no care for the customers. No one ever go here, there's absolutely no reason to.

    Horrible service and very rude employees! Visited this past Sunday and was told they do not give…read moresamples after 1:00 p.m. Typically when you're ordering something new, you ask to sample it. I asked why and was brushed off so she could help the next customer. Choosing not to spend my money there, I left to eat somewhere else. Not long after leaving the line, I noticed the same lady who refused to let me sample give out a sample. The only difference between me and the male customer was the color of our skin. I approached the lady to confront her. If policy is policy I wanted to know why he was given different treatment. She wouldn't respond. I will never spend my money here again and neither should you!
