Stopped in on a hot summer day for a snack and a drink. We had already eaten lunch but we were driving by and said, “Let’s just stop for a taste!”

Truthfully, this was the most flavorful katsu I’ve ever had, but unfortunately it was also the thinnest katsu I’ve ever had. It’s a real shame! I was honestly so excited to try them, but when I received my order it was the thinnest piece of meat I’d ever seen in my life. I’m not sure if you can tell from the pictures, I should’ve taken better ones, but the breading was thicker than the meat and I think that speaks for itself.

I haven’t had East Side King in 3 years. My recent experience surpassed my expectations and was even better than I remembered.

My love for Japanese food and food served in bowls came together at East side King. Tried the Chicken Katsu bowl and the chicken karaage bowl. Both were delicious with their distinct sauces. The chicken was very flavorful and soft. Their sweet and sour sauce (asked for it as an addition) pairs really well with everything, whether on rice or as a salad dressing for the lettuce included in the bowl.

The veggie bento box was fresh & had amazing flavor. It’s a clean place with a refreshing atmosphere. My boyfriend said the buns here were almost as good as mine.

Great food and fun place. It’s more of a Fusion restaurant than a true Japanese restaurant. There’s also a small section of Japanese pre packaged snacks and sweets.

Was it the best wonton I’ve ever had including the 12 years I’ve lived in Asia? No of course not. But was it the worst wonton ever? Actually yes. The wrapping to filing ratio was like 10:1 and the filing had no bite. It was mushy like mashed potato. The wrapping was over boiled. It would have been better to actually serve fries and just dump the herbs and spices on top of it. It’ll pass as gourmet here in Austin

I absolutely LOVE ESK and it’s one of my favorite go-to dinners. The Kara Age chicken is my usual but the last several times I’ve ordered it the chicken was SO dry and over cooked. I’m not sure what’s going on but it seems to be a trend.

Not only really great Asian fusion food, you can relax with some Japanese beer or my favorite Mexican coke. That make great quality food at all of their location.

Good quality food, consistently delicious. Would order from here more if the staff were more welcoming. More than once Ive been met with a ‘tude when ordering at the register. When I remember, I order online now.
