I've eaten here numerous times but finally got around to writing a review. I stopped by at lunchtime and ordered the lunch specials: chicken with green beans and Mongolian beef. Each lunch special comes with chow mein, steamed rice, and a small bowl of egg drop soup.
The restaurant was getting busy, but the servers were quick and provided excellent customer service. There's plenty of seating, so even during the lunch rush, it didn't feel overcrowded.
As for the food, my chicken with green beans lacked flavor, and the chow mein was a bit too salty for my taste this time. However, on other occasions, the food has been better, so I'm chalking this up to an off day. I also ordered the duck over rice and BBQ pork over rice to-go, and both were delicious, highly recommend them those for lunch special!
One issue I have to mention, though, is that a customer seated behind me had an extremely strong body odor, which made it difficult to enjoy my meal. I'm usually pretty empathetic and not easily bothered, but it was overwhelming. While this isn't the restaurant's fault, it did affect my overall experience.
Overall, Far East Cafe is a solid spot, especially for takeout. I'll give it another try.
