Golden East is a small, owner-run restaurant in Midstate Mall, and the absolute BEST Chinese food for many, many miles! They are ALWAYS busy and ALWAYS friendly and welcoming. Several Asian buffets have opened in the spot next to them, and every one closed within a few months...no one can touch the outstanding food, service and reasonable prices!!

Lobster over cooked was rubbery. Server was decent. Desserts were too sweet, I know they desserts but cut back on the sugar. Interior is decent, not spectacular but ok. Parking is small. Car door got dinged there. I know because I hand wash it every 3 days.

The sandwiches here are amazing. Freshly made on great tasting bread. The hit and cold sandwiches are equally good and I cannot pick a favorite.
Service is excellent, quick and made to order.
Love to stop here when I'm in the area and take them home for a treat.

Service attentive but the food came out too slow. They don't mention anywhere that you can bring your own wine even though they have a full bar. The lamb ribs were not as flavorful as described on the menu and the creme brulee didn't have the taste of rum either as described. You The portion size is nice. The bread and butter was yuMmy, but since it had good reviews I purchased the Groupon to try it, still bit pricey.

A nice Polish bakery. You need to get there early or call ahead if you want to be sure of getting what you want. They make an excellent 7 layer cake, unfortunately they do not seem to have it that often. I happened to get one when they had one and another time they let me order one for the holidays. Besides that no luck. There other cakes are good, but not as good as they 7 layer one. Very good donuts, especially the powdered jelly, only suggestion I would have would be to put more powered sugar on them. There rolls are very good as are their brownies. I prefer the brownies with nuts, a little expensive, but still good. One of the better rye breads I have had. My whole family enjoys their cookies. Never tried any of their pastries, maybe next time. They are closed on Mondays like a lot of bakeries, but open the other six days. If you speak Polish you will feel right at home since most of the people there do speak Polish, but don't worry they speak English as well.

this was our second visit and we were not disappointed. it started off a little rough, not the fault of the restaurant. somehow there was an error in our Open Table reservation. Not to worry they found us a booth in the bar area. This wouldn't have been bad except for the overly loud and rude table behind us. When I brought this to the attention of the hostess she immediately moved us to another room. and said not to worry about our salads and drinks they would take care of it. If only all restaurants were this accommodating .
now to the meal. appetizers were claims for our friend and chorizo with onions, peppers in an unbelievable sauce. We all ordered different entrees paella with lobster for me, shrimp for my friend a fish stew with lobster in green sauce and the same for my other friend, but in a red sauce. All the food was way above what many have come to expect from a Portuguese restaurant.
Try it you'll love it.

For "regular" pizza places, this and Tony's in South Plainfield are the two best. They have some really good slices. Very modern atmosphere, people are nice. I will def go back for some real food and more pizza

My wife has been bugging me about this restaurant for weeks. They only serve breakfast and lunch. Well, today we went to find out what is all the rage. Thank heavens that we called ahead for reservations for a Saturday morning. The wait time was only a few minutes so we decided to go. When we arrived, the wait time was nearly 40 minutes without reservations. We were first to be seated because we called ahead.
The restaurant is small and most likely seats 60 people. They are expanding but the construction will not be completed for several more weeks. The waiter was terrific in explaining the menu. Why explain the menu, you say? Well, if we had to read all of the varieties of breakfast food, it would have taken 10-15 minutes. He was very helpful to point out the local favorites. I ordered the lumberjack special which has all of the meats while my wife ordered a potato pancake with a skillet of Spanish-style egg dish. The portions were extraordinarily large. Almost to the point that I could not finish it. But soldiering on, I managed to stuff my face. My wife was more polite and took have of it home.
The food quality is great. Our meals were served both hot and fresh. The taste was also well above average for a diner. The atmosphere is very cozy and family friendly. It is truly inviting to small family groups and couples. While there is a variety of booths and tables for seating, there is some counter space for those who want eat alone.
In short, this is a two thumbs up recommendation for anyone in the Old Bridge, NJ area. They also have at least one other location in NJ. So gather up the clan and head over for a great dining experience. You'll be glad you did after you have had your fill of a wonderful meal.
