The Scene
You almost forget you're in Foothill Village after sitting down in this second-floor spot in the quiet southern corner of the outdoor mall. The atmosphere is a bit more formal than many Asian restaurants, but still relaxed enough to make one feel comfortable.
The Food
For a starter, try the pot stickers--they're not traditional, but everybody loves them. East-West's version have a lighter skin than most and a mild pork filling. Top entree choices include either the East-West chicken or beef--garlic-marinated meat stir-fried with broccoli, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and other green vegetables. Simmered prawns are another specialty, cooked in a slightly sweet orange-flavored sauce. Vegetarians have plenty to choose from, including six tofu dishes. For the less adventurous, there are the usual sweet-and-sour items, along with fried rice and wonton soup.

Our waiter was VERY impatient with us and not friendly with all. If only that was our only issue!!!! When the chicken fried rice came out, it tasted like the great salt lake (honestly, the saltiest thing i had ever had). We politely told the waiter it didn't taste good and he didn't offer to replace it or anything. We had to beg him to take it back. The other dishes were ok, but the waiter didn't ONCE come back to check on us or offer us refills. Once we were done eating, a different waiter noticed we were being ignored and was nice enough to ask us how things were and if we needed refills. It's sad that one waiter could ruin our opinion of this restaurant, but unfortunately that's the case! Avoid the young waiter with glasses at all costs!!!!

We've been to East West connection several times now and it continues to impress me. The Owners and staff are friendly and helpful and the food is always wonderful. They use fresh ingredients and light sauces - nothing is covered with "goupy" brown sauce. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming. We need to go there more often.

this is a great resturant to order take-out from, grab a light lunch, or enjoy a relaxed dinner. The food is light and not too exotic so even if you are not a fan of usual vietnamese or oriental fare, you may enjoy the safe yet delicous tastes of East-west Connection. All the dishes are wonderful and are pretty much served family style so if your with friends you can share around. I reccomend the South Sea Pork or the Lemongrass chicken with spring rolls as an appetizer, these are simple yet delectable dishes that can staisfy almost any tastebuds. The parking is always a pain but overall this charming little resturant has ambience and great food. A good bet for families with kids.
