Excellent service, sushi and prices – I really like this sushi place, although I've also eaten the cooked food and other dishes. The prices are very reasonable and the food good, straight up Japanese fare. The salmon lover's roll and the grilled cod are two of my favorite dishes. There is quite a large regular clientele, of which my family and friends are included. I've been to a lot more expensive restaurants, but if you're looking for traditional Japanese, not fusion, not modern - try East.

Makes me wonder...... – Ok, East was recommended to me by a co-worker that lives in the neighborhood. I've eaten there about 4 times. Today is the last time I will ever eat there.

I placed my order and as always the humble Japanese sushi chef smiles and greets me as he does everyone. After ordering I left to get some cash from... read more

Good Inexpensive Sushi – I love it here -- definitely not Nobu or even Haru, but the sushi is always fresh and is always good. They run a great deal with Japas 55 (the karaoke place upstairs) that always makes for a fun evening!

not the same as East 53 Teriyaki house – I just wanted to refute the previous reviewer's comment -- East 53 Teriyaki house is not run by the same management as the East chain. As for East chain in general, it's harmless, cheap and decent fish. Don't take your date if you want to impress but it's good enough for a quick sushi when you don't want to spend a ton of money.

Good in-a-pinch for lunch – This branch of East - now known as East 53rd Teriyaki House is very good for a cheap, quick sushi or teriyaki lunch. While, clearly, not exeptional - the food is good and inexpensive.
