Far East Restaurant

This was my second visit to Far East. I asked for the lunch special with fried rice,generals chicken and egg roll. I also had two cans of diet coke. I liked the generals chicken a lot better than the cashew chicken I tried on my first visit. Both visits were pretty expensive though for the location, atmosphere, and food. I think my bill was $16.

When we arrived, we were asked if we wanted to order from the menu or eat from the buffet. We chose the buffet. Each person’s 2nd time plate was put in a to-go box and bag instead of letting us eat it there. When I paid the check, we were not charged a buffet price. They charge per plate and charge extra for egg rolls, etc. Not happy to have a bill of $89.50 for 4 people for lunch. We will not be back.

Really should inform customers when menu items that have been the same for years suddenly change. Ordered General Tsu chicken like I've been getting from here since almost 2012 and suddenly it's different and has vegetables and peppers added...which completely changed the taste and is not what I ordered. Do better at informing people of menu changes and IF YOU FORGET. At least offer to fix it instead of saying "well next time you will know better and to ask for no vegetables" like what?! How about you fix your mistake.

As of July 1st they are under new management. The extra large egg rolls are now normal size. The cream cheese wontons are now crab rangoon. Few changes here and there. Menu is now more what you'd expect from a small take out place. Some of the items seem to have increased in price. The staff is different, but they are very friendly. We ordered a few things to try out. The fresh rolls has fresh herbs and were very tasty. They let us try their coconut ice cream. That was excellent. Overall happy with the food and service.

Great service and food at this classic restaurant near mtsu campus. Far east has been around a long time but new owners took over in July and that's a good thing. The new menu departs from the mostly Chinese offerings with a strong emphasis on Thai. I had the red curry, heat number 4 and it had just the right amount of heat intensity of you like it hot. Five is Max. Nothing fancy about the interior, but it is quaint and it's the food and service that will make you come back. Buffet served at lunch
