Trying to find cheap n tasty eats in Ponsonby has become more and more difficult. We stumbled across East Noddle Bar on are way back from the gym. And what a find! Fast and tasty food at great prices. Recommend the terryaki chicken and Mongolian beef. Love how they added loads of crisp veggies.
Wondered around Ponsonby for quick lunch during Anzac Day but most places were shut and stumbled upon east and popped in for a quick lunch special - chicken fried rice for $9 plus a coffee frap for $5 , nice a easy and hit the spot ! Recommended and will be back !
The food here is so cheap, veges are fresh and crispy! Fried noodles weren't oily like most places, very tasty and the customer service was great. And they also deliver for $5! My new fav place
One of my favourite spots for a quick and easy dinner - dine in or takeaway. Delicious dishes with lots of flavours and generous portions (I find the kids menu portions are enough to fill me up for dinner). Great location and service from staff. Being able to purchase on the YQ app is a bonus!
Great food! fresh and delivery time was on point. Will recommend and eat again! Filling in space because some knob made minimum review 140 characters.
I was actually on my way to Renkon, but upon arrival I found its closed down - so I ores for East as it was near by.
I ordered what I'd been wanting from the get go, Katsu Teryaki Chicken.
The serving was large and I couldn't finish it. It was retry delicious though, with enough sauce and crispy chicken.
I'd go back.

Attention lovers of food: If you have ever enjoyed an Asian takeaway dish in your life. Ever. STOP SCROLLING. Good. Now read on:
Some divine deity reached out to me today, and guided my typing fingers to the online menu of East Restaurant in Ponsonby. Now, by there loving and merciful ways, they are reaching out to you as well. You, saintly child of food, are about to be rewarded for your service of eating that which is edible.
Uncertain whether I should give my credit card details to the online order delivery site, Dine In, the gods (and google) reassured me that it was safe and I proceeded to purchase East Restaurant's Chicken Laska; a pure, delightful and sacred dish. I payed only 15 unworthy dollars and a minimal delivery fee, and the steaming plate of unearthly deliciousness arrived right at my feet.
I tell you now food-child; I never want to eat again, lest this holy taste leave my mouth. I want to savour its other-worldly flavour and fragrance for all of eternity.
I was so moved by the divine experience that I decided to write a GOOD review on MenuMania and DineIn. And anyone who knows anything knows this is remarkable because reviews are only written to passive-aggressively get back at a restaurant for serving up cold hotchips. But for this, my review will be different; I have been changed forever and I offer this review to the sacred food deities as an emotional prayer of gratitude for my salvation from the darkness of never having known this restaurant existed. I have vowed to save others from this darkness, yet I have not even explored the true extent of enlightenment that East Restaurant has to offer. As I try more dishes on this biblical menu I expect to find more pathways to the warmth and love of the gods.
If you do but one thing in your life, I urge you, let it be buying this God-blessed Chicken Laska. And for the full heavenly experience, summon the God-chosen staff to deliver it to your door; they will do so to any nearby suburbs in which the light of the heavens shines down. The gods have spoken.
May the food of the heavenly gods light your path. Amen.
(P.S. Apologies if I have now built this up and the dish turns out to be a let down. I was bored and hungry and the relief was real.)
WOW!!!!
I first tasted the amazing cuisine at East 6 years ago. The food is just as good now as it was back then.
I popped in today as I had a little spare time, and ordered my favourite dish Canton with chicken.
It must have been my lucky day, because the owner/chef came out ( between woks) and offered me some special treats from the new menu coming soon.
The new starters were devine!!!
I'm not going to say any more than this- but check out East when your next in Ponsonby...you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for the great food and awesome friendly service.
East has great food and great service. I love being able to order using YQ on my phone cuz it means I don't have to use my lunch break waiting for the food to cook! Good stuff.

Thank you East!!

Update from last review 26 June 2012.
Again, very pleased with our meals. Super hot, 4 different flavoured dishes, all good and again couldnt fault the staff. They seem genuinely happy to see you and make you feel your visit was appreciated.
We have only had takeaways on both occasions, however something to keep in mind if you are planning on dining in. It is a casual, small eatery. Give them a ring and book before hand to make sure a table is avail, and whatever you do, if you cant make it, or even change your mind, please let them know. With only having a small seating area, if you have booked a table and dont turn up, it makes it hard for them to cater for others who do wish to dine. Its just courtesy, really. But DO go, to dine in or takeaway, you wont be disappointed.
Thank you again for our lovely lunch, and a special thankyou to your younger assistant, who I am sure is not only a helping hand in busy times but is learning along the way. Kindest regards for continued success. Sharon.
What a LOVELY wee find this is. Happy friendly staff and very tasty food. Had prawn dumplings and 1 x beef & 1 prawn dish. Both were piping hot, had great flavour and plenty of vege. Thanks heaps. Will return.
Visited last Sunday evening. Was a little hesitant given the previous reviews on here, however was pleasantly surprised.
Ordered spring rolls and dim sum as starters and two main noodle dishes. We dined in.
All were perfectly cooked, tasty, fresh and delicious. No complaints from us. None of the food was dodgy, and they were doing a brisk trade in takeaways so the turnover was high.
I would return again without any hesitation.
Very good for vegan dietary requirements understanding, generous portions and tast food. Chips where nice and not greasy too. We usually order through uber eats and delivery is prompt and never had issues
Only place in Ponsonby you can get a good lunch for under $10. Friendly staff solid menu.
Food always so good bbq pork and dim sims my top fast service even on delivery aa++
Our weekly go to - never disappoints. Fresh and tasty.
Beef Bami is the go to menu item which I've always ordered from here.
Very busy for take away food. Clean and tidy Shop. Fast Service
Nice food options, great for lunch
