CLOSED: Fresh East

I had read about this place on happycow, and here's my Fresh East review.

The restaurant is more cafe style where you order your food at the counter, and bus your own table when you finish. The decor is a mix of old and modern Hong Kong. The location is on the main drag in West Hollywood where the cafes, shops, and bars are frequented by locals and out-of-towners.

On the menu, the vegan-friendly dishes are marked with a "V." My husband and I shared the spicy garlic noodles (wheat), the Indian vegetable dish (served with brown rice), and the spicy Korean noodle with tofu (served chilled).

Overall, I thought all the dishes were good, though very spicy - so be sure to specify if you'd like a bit less spicy, cuz the noodle is spicy. A good place to try.

Fresh East is a great new restaurant offering healthy, fresh cuisine from many Asian cultures. The food is very tasty. I enjoyed Korean spicy noodles as well as a couple of other dishes and enjoyed all of them. They have some very creative drink choices and offer quinoa as well as rice as a side. The owners are delightful and the staff is friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful for people watching. Try it out! There is also ample parking in the rear which is a rarity in the area.

We checked out Fresh Eats on Vday for their Rose Petal sorbet. It was packed and slow, they are still getting their act together. They forgot one thing from our order and gave us wok fried veggies and then denied they were fried and said they were steamed until I mushed the oil in my fingers for them... Either way its super cheap and the portion sizes are huge, they just have no clue about health despite the endless health claims all over the restaurant.
