Avenue East

Had it not been for the pandemic and working from home, I would have definitely missed out on this local gem. Now we order from here a few times a month. The sushi is fresh and rolled tight. I hate sushi that falls apart. They have really good warm appetizers as well. I'm not in love with their hot entrees, not because they taste bad but because they don't taste like the terrible Asian fusion food I'm used to eating. Their entrees very clean tasting, not overly salty, sweet, greasy, or overcooked. They also allow some adjustments within reason like make it extra spicy, put the sauce on the side, don't add x,y,z. They haven't resumed to indoor seating but the customer service is excellent. On a really busy night, you might have to wait an extra 5-10 minutes for pickup, but they always apologize even though it's not necessary. The prices are what you'd expect to pay for good sushi.

The food was delicious except the thai iced tea could have been better (that’s why 4 stars). Nice ambience. Street metered parking.

I really like this place. i come here a lot for special events, birthdays, small meetings. The food is asian fusion and so delicious. The service is on point. The waits are worth it. My only issue is some of the dishes are tricky so ask questions. I ended up ordering what turned out to be a chicken breast covered in fancy ketchup. The dish itself was fine, probably delicious to someone else. Coconut shrimp, order several of these. All the appetizers are crazy good. Good place for a date, a bit noisy as people sit pretty close and it gets crowded. Excellent sushi bar.

Whoa. Call me Guy Fieri because I just went to Flavortown. I tried Avenue East for the first time this evening and it totally blew me out of the water. We ordered two spicy tuna rolls ($5.50), an eel avocado roll ($5.50), a shrimp tempura roll ($5.50), a chicken teriyaki entree ($13.95), pan fried chicken dumplings ($5.95), the buddha's feast entree ($9.50), and the house lo mein ($9.95). Pretty much all of it was excellent and I have no complaints. I have to start by singing the praises of the sushi. Seriously, it was spectacular and on par with any best sushi joints I've been to. There was a generous amount of fish and eel in each piece, and the rolls practically melt in your mouth. Totally worth it! The dumplings were awesome, too, and even though there was a sauce on the side, it wasn't even necessary as the dumplings were replete with flavor. I'd order them again in a heartbeat. I was also pleasantly surprised by the lo mein. It had beef, chicken, shrimp... and all in abundance. Big, plump pieces of shrimp scattered among shreds of flavorful beef... I'm still thinking about it! Solid choice -- you can't go wrong. Lastly, while I didn't eat in the restaurant so I can't speak to kitchen speeds or anything like that, I did meet Steve, the owner, and he was very polite and friendly. Really a nice guy! I don't know what other people leaving negative reviews are talking about but I can't wait to get Avenue East again.

I have been to this restaurant a few times but this is my first review. I called in my order of shrimp udon to a nice man over the phone. When I arrived I had to park illegally because the parking is bad in that area. When I walked up, the door was open with tables set up to pick hp the food. I called to get the attention of the man that took my order. He was very nice when he gave me my food. I paid a little over $11 for my meal. When I got home I ate and it was good and filling. No issues at all.

Love love food!!! Make reservations for 8.30 pm and they were ready for a party of 12 celebrating big!!. Food was so tasty and portions were just right. We Will keep going back and back!

We had take out and it was hands down the best Asian food I've ever had, everything was delicious. Its so much better then the standard take out joint. These guys know flavors. I can't wait to go back and try it fresh. Land and Sea and a Coconut Chicken Dinner. Do yourself a favor and get some !!
