The Eastern Peak - Franklin

Food was excellent and I love the atmosphere. The service was slow, and our waiter seemed to be having to care for the whole dining room himself. I’m going to chalk this up to this restaurant being fairly new. I’m certain when the processes are tightened up it will be much better. Like I said, food was excellent.

Ordered salt and pepper fried calamari and gyoza for appetizers. Calamari didn’t have the crunch, kinda soggy and not warm. Think it sat too long before served. Also, it was little too salty.
Gyoza was better, warm and soy sauce dip was light and delicious.
Drunken noodles was warm and tasty. The highlight was the sweet and sour pork.
Pork wasn’t deep fried like typical sweet and sour dish but sliced pork stir fry style.
Could taste the wok hei (super hot wok) on the dish! Very impressed with that! The flavor was well balanced!

The food was just ok.. service is great and nice atmosphere too.

First off - I totally misnamed this place when I was telling people about it and I’m disappointed in me - I thought I had discovered an un-google-mapped place. I was wrong.

Anyway - the food was fantastic!! Service was excellent - Charlie was super helpful and was very informative and clearly liked his job and was enthusiastic about the menu.

I had pad Thai with chicken. Yum, yum, yum. Good serving size with firm but tender noodles, tofu and chicken in a sweet/savory sauce.

Nice interior space with a cool tree right inside the entrance. It was inviting from the outside and a good space to eat in.

Here’s the breakdown:

Huge menu +1 star; fresh, hot and yummy food +1 star; nice dining area +1 star; decent serving size +1 star; excellent service from Charlie +1 star.

For sure will return.
