Enjoyed it! Food pretty good, interesting pan Asian selection. Starters particularly good. Service in terms of taking orders rather slow, but when order taken food arrived very rapidly. Drinks orders seemed to take for ever. Nice people, we enjoyed our evening. Recommended.

Visited on a Sunday evening which did get busy. Only three members of staff so they were rushed off their feet, however they were friendly and helpful throughout, doing their best. Decor was done up to look like a fat east street market, looked great and made it different to other restaurants. Food was great, there is a main menu, a vegetarian menu & a vegan menu. The jackfruit rendang was interesting, the nasi goreng delicious, the laksa very spicy! Too spicy for my friend but the staff were happy to take it back to the kitchen to tone it down a bit, very nice of them to offer. Prices are reasonable and I would recommend a visit.

We booked a table for 6 for a work dinner. Great setting, very different from where we've been before. The menu had lots of options as we had vegetarian and lactose-free requirements. Overall it was a great meal, with friendly service. I would definitely recommend East Street.

Booked a table and when we arrived there was hardly any diners yet when we request to sit at a different table that was declined. The lady serving us seem bored and dissinterested and service was very slow from her. Still waiting to be served after 15mins found the waitress was sat down having a drink. Had to call for service a few times at our table. Over charged for happy hour. No WiFi connection at our table and was very cold. Food was bland and not a generous portion at all. Over rated place with need of improvement.

This place is quite a find - close to Soho, good quality oriental food and not totally packed. However, the service is haphazard. We struggled to get our waitress' attention, and then she only brought 1 out 3 starters. 20 minutes later we got hold of another waitress who had to reorder the other starters. But overall, the food was pretty decent.

Service was really bad. There were only 3 servers in the restaurant during peak hour for lunch. Was seated table at the back of the restaurant and server couldn’t even see us. Difficult to place order or call for assistance. Ordered Thai (drip) iced coffee, served as a powdered coffee instead which was bland. Rice was hard.
