East Pacific Pan-Asian Bistro

Amazing pad Thai!!! And spring rolls. Great drink specIals as well. Friendly staff and quick service! Everything I’ve had here is really good and the servings are large and inexpensive. Would definitely recommend

3.5 Stars — Thought it was great food for the price and the happy hour was a really good deal for Midtown! It took a moment for us to get seated and when we weren’t ready the waitress disappeared. The food did come very quick and I thought the sushi was good quality.
They also cater to those with allergies! Will definitely be back!

Best General Tso’s that I’ve found during my 4 years in NYC!

The food is amazing and I typically order in. The service in the restaurant tends to be on the slow side.

BEST mojitos ever!!! You HAVE to come check this place out. The interior is beautiful — especially the giant tree in the middle of the restaurant.

I wouldn’t go here expecting good Thai food, especially since the menu is mostly faux-​Chinese dishes. The sushi is oddly not bad though, at least from the perspective of the other guy with me.
The Cantonese noodle soup as well as the Thai noodle soup aren’t bad. It’s not nearly as good as the stuff in the real good Chinese places but it’s honestly not bad. The former had a few wontons as well as a good amount of pork while the later had a good amount of fake crab as well as 3 pretty sweet Shrimp (shells/​head removed for those who prefer.) The later, which she said was spicy, actually was pretty spicy.
3.3, obviously not super good but there are way worse choices for take-​out level Chinese.

We came a few minutes before closing time and the staff was still happy to serve us. We got delicious $ 4 cocktails))) Staff didn’t remind us of the time and didn’t force us to leave. They just made jokes with us and told us don’t be rushed))
Nice place))

Service is fast food prices are reasonable and the atmosphere was awesome !! Can wait til we come back again …

Ordered the pineapple fried rice and pork dumplings from here tonight. The pineapple fried rice was flavorless and the chicken had a rubbery consistency. I threw it out after a couple bites. Dumplings weren’t thay great either. There’s gotta be better thai delivery in the city.

I’ve been ordering from this place for 5 years since they are right down the street. Always quick. Always delicious. It is my «go to» whenever I want to order in. Their pad Thai is awesome! The rolls are a little pricier than other places, but I have never had a bad experience so I think it’s worth the cost!

I like to go here for their drink special and the food is ok. I meet with my friends and hang out the rest of the night without any restrictions on happy hour :)

This place is really a hidden gem. I’m regretting even putting my thoughts into words because I don’t want this to become an over-​crowded, over-​hyped spot.
Have you heard of $ 3 Martinis (Lychee or Mango) or $ 4 Mojitos until 8pm in Midtown Manhattan? Yep, me neither but this place really does exist! It’s a like a more low-​key and undiscovered version of Verlaine. Their happy hour lasts from 12pm-​8pm every day. Say hello to day drinking on a budget for the weekend!
The best part is that their drinks are not watered down like the ones you get at Verlaine (yep, I just called out one of my top drink spots in NYC). I ended up drinking 2 martinis with an entrée and was a bit tipsy (all of which came to $ 16 with tax included, oh hell yeah!)
The other great thing is that since it’s never crowded — I’ve come on a Friday night and Saturday during the day. You always get great service and attention from the wait staff. There is always tables to sit down and bar stools for those who want to hang out by the TVs.

I order delivery from here every now and then. Their food is tasty, and in my experience, not awfully greasy like many other Asian restaurants. I live across town, and the delivery has always been on time, even on busy Friday nights. Love the mei fun. Nom!

Everything about this place is average. Stopped by here because we were hungry and wanted to get something along the way to a party. The food is mediocre, the waitresses are nice.
They do seem to have a pretty good happy hour… there were a lot of middle aged people getting rowdy at the bar when we got there around 10pm.

Delivery Review.
Ordered through Seamless. Wait time said 45 –55 minutes, no problem, the place is .5 a mile from my office. 1.5 hours later, my food had still not arrived so I called to ask and she didn’t ask me my address or my name, only that my food was on the way. How could she know where it even was if she didn’t know who I was???
Food finally arrived about 1.75 hours later and the guy hands me the bag and it rips. All the food spills into another layer of bags. The soup is turned upside down, the bento box is still open in a corner and spills everywhere.
Food Quality: Its OK. Not the best asian food I’ve had, not the worst, but the delivery experience alone was so bad that I refuse to order from here again.

I order for delivery from here about once a week. The Asian field greens salad is always fresh and the ginger carrot dressing is consistently tasty. The Thai seafood noodle soup and roasted duck noodle soup are my go-to’s when I’m not feeling well or need the comfort of a soothing soup. I’ve also ordered the sushi lunch specials and am never disappointed with the spicy yellowtail, spicy tuna or salmon skin rolls. The rolls are cut small but still filling. Deliver is always fast and they have never missed anything on my order.
If I ever have the time to actually take a lunch break and not eat at my desk, I will definitely come into the restaurant and see how the service is. My overall delivery experience has been great and I would definitely recommend this place for lunch.

Lapin and I came here on Saturday afternoon for lunch. The place was half filled but we were seated pretty quickly. Our waitress was nice but she wasn’t very inattentive. She only came around to take and place orders; the rest of the time she was shelling beans.
I ordered the chicken and broccoli with fried rice. It was the standard Asian American fare but it wasn’t very greasy (like many takeout spots) which was good. Lapin ordered the General tso’s Shrimp Bento Box, which I assumed he liked (or he was just really hungry) because he ate rather quickly. He didn’t even let me have a bite! The Bento Box Lunch was served with California Roll, Green Salad, Steamed Dumpling and Miso Soup for around $ 12. He said the Miso soup and California roll was just okay and he had better.
Overall, decent Asian American food for affordable prices. The food comes out hot and the service is decent. I did notice a sign on the side of the door offering Happy Hour drinks for $ 4, which might warrant another visit to try out.

Not a bad spot for after work happy hour if looking to get obliterated on the cheap.
Been here a few times now as it’s only a few blocks from where I work.
Haven’t eaten too much of the food here which does look pretty decent. I was too busy getting sloshed on their super cheapo happy hour which is a terrific deal. Happy hour is like all day long until 8pm and you can easily get hammered on their $ 4 mojitos and select $ 3 cocktails, or a beer for $ 3 bucks, while the ladies enjoy a $ 3 martini special every day till 8pm. Plus, the drinks are solid and not watered down. Booyah!
If needing to drink on the cheap after a long day on the job and catch a good buzz before stumbling into a cab or the subway this is the joint.

What an amazing find. I randomly walked by this spot during a day of a million appointments.
I lucked out by getting the tail end of the lunch special here & partaking in their ridiculous $ 3 cocktail special.
The cocktails do not disappoint. I haven’t had or seen a sufficient, yet tasty $ 3 in five years. Quite impressed.
The lunch was quick & adequately satiating. A mix of thai/​chinese if you will. Grilled vegetables with soy sauce and brown rice. The veggies we’re barely cooked, yet seasoned enough not to be bland. Zucchini, carrots, broccoli, corn, green beans, etc. an amazing bed of veggie goodness.
The place has a diner atmosphere to me, but that’s okay. It serves the purpose it needs to.
Solid.

PROS: Good service from a friendly waitress. Decent food for people who have a very Americanized palate. Not sure whether that’s a pro or not. Get something like sesame chicken or something.
CONS: Food isn’t the freshest. By that I mean it tasted semi-​homemade. I had the thai chicken and could tell the chicken and vegetables were long time frozen, and the sauce came from a jar of Mae ploy.
Basically, this place is great for people who want semi-​homemade Americanized food
