Feast from the East has been around since 1981 and that outdated Chinese Chicken Salad that everyone raves about is pretty damn tired.
It’s just barely shredded romaine lettuce, wontons and shredded dry ass chicken. Oh, and a tiny portion cup filled with not enough salad dressing. It needs cabbage. It needs mandarins. It needs some other veggies.
It needs to just go away.
The sesame chicken wings tasted good but they had clearly been sitting in the warming bin for an hour or so and were luke warm at best.
The meatballs were fine but had a rubbery consistency and freezer burned flavor and the teriyaki sauce was pretty pedestrian.
The BBQ Pork Bao was ok, but not nearly enough bbq pork for my liking.
Wow, did I like anything here??
Chesty didn’t hate the salad, which is why this place gets 2 Buns but I’m honestly surprised that a place with such average pseudo-Asian cuisine has lasted so long.
I guess even bad faux Chinese is still good faux Chinese.

Looks like Asian food for the geriatric jewish community of the west side!
I’m actually a fan of Feast from the East’s Chinese chicken salad. It appears you obviously ate in the restaurant; did you not see all of the squeeze bottles of their dressing that you can apply to your liking? And for the record: the CCS also has scallion, sliced almonds, and sesame seeds. I like it because it is a very light salad — no peanut butter or soy in the dressing, very heavy on the ginger.
