East & West Cafe on Proctor

One of my best friends really love eating at this place weekly so I definitely had to try this located in Tacoma. I don't really come down south often so I was excited to try the food. The service was amazing, and the lady that was serving us was always sparking conversation, filled up our water, and even split the dumplings we had all shared on our tab. She seated us within minutes and was super excited to help us out since most of us were new to this place trying to choose an order.I got the pad see ew for $18, what a hefty price! I was hoping it was going to taste amazing since it was more on the expensive side. I was completely shocked to find out there the flavoring was really missing, the veggies were soggy, and it just was not good at all. I really gave it so many tries but I didn't like one bit of it. It was dry, unflavorful, and tasted awful. The presentation was not beautiful, and it looked quite dry. I still gave a lovely tip for the service but the food was definitely a miss.The place itself is adorable however, parking was easy behind the restaurant.

Y'all is super expensive compared to the other Thai/Viet places in town but the food keeps it trill. 5 stars.

This was my go to for some Tom Yum soup when I start to feel run down. But now it's your wallet that will ail you.What was an $11 purchase is now $17. Compare to Silk Thai whose Tom Yum is $10.95. There Pho is also $17. A small pho at La CA just as much soup to go is $12 (also the price for large pho at Ven Dong or Pho King).Friendly and the rest of care is in the $17 to $19 range but my go to alas no more

Very quaint and clean restaurant in Proctor. I had the bulgogi, spice level 5... it was barely noticeable. The food though, delicious!! My wife had the pho

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner a few weeks ago after walking around Point Defiance Park. He had been here before, but this was my first time.The restaurant is family-owned. Our host was able to immediately seat us and was friendly. I ordered the sweet potato curry and my boyfriend ordered the yellow curry with chicken. Our host asked me if I wanted chicken on the bone or without the bone; I ordered with the bone.We got our food within 15-20 minutes. The portions are much bigger than your average Thai restaurant. My curry came as described- sweet potatoes with chicken in a Panang curry with rice on the side. My boyfriend's curry came with chicken and a variety of vegetables (onion, carrot, broccoli, etc.). I honestly was a little jealous that my dish didn't come with as many vegetables, but oh well. As far as spiciness, I think I got a 3 star, which was very mild. I would probably get a higher star dish if I went back. The curry was smooth, but I wish the potatoes were cut smaller and there was more variety of taste/texture.Service was good. Our host thanked us for our business as we left and came by to refill our water a couple of times. Overall: 3.5/5 for food, 4/5 for service

We had a delicious lunch here. Enjoyed the pot stickers, golden cashew with chicken and Chan Che with beef. All dishes were very tasty!

We always forget that this restaurant is on Procter until we pass it so we decided to remedy that! We stopped in on a Monday night and it was about 1/4 full. Our waters arrived quickly and the server wasn't far behind. We ordered a Saigon crepe to start along with a pot a tea. For dinner we ordered Malaysian noodles (2/5 spicy) and the savory ginger (1/5) spicy, both with prawns. The tea arrived after a bit and was very hot. I did love that it was not served in one of those old metal tea pots that are ubiquitous to Asian eateries. The Saigon crepe is huge! It could easily be a meal if you would prefer. We enjoyed the crepe. Dinner was a quick follow to our finish of the crepe. The plates are very big. Both dishes were very tasty. I'm glad we finally stopped in.

Food: We deeply apologize for the poor review but our food came out late, after the couple who had entered the restaurant several minutes after us. While the service was friendly and accommodating, we were told that the chef had forgotten our order which was why we were given a side dish of meat that was cold. Service: Friendly. Ambiance: aside from my partner and I, there was a family having dinner, in addition to a couple. Fairly quiet environment.

This is my favorite restaurant in the proctor district. The service is always great. The food was immaculate and came out in a very timely manner

The food is delicious but the service is terrible. Greta is the rudest waitress I have ever met. If you hate people then don't be a waitress. She had the worst attitude and was talking on the phone the whole time. She needs to find a new job because she clearly scares customers away. Shame on you Greta
