This is a nice Asian-fusion eatery. We’ve been there a couple of times, and we liked it. My personal recommendation is the Moto Bento Box—it’s really delicious, and I love that it has a lot of fish. Make sure to order the spicy mayo on the side for your salmon and tuna; it makes it even better. The Katsu Sando was also great—we enjoyed how crispy the chicken was. If you like chicken, I’d also recommend the ESK Kara-Age Bowl. It’s another tasty option.

Went for the very first time today and was impressed by the service and atmosphere! I ordered the Chicken Katsu Sando with fries and a Sangaria brand strawberry milk. My only complaints were that wished the bun for the katsu Sando was bigger. I also wished for a bit less mayo to enjoy the tasty dipping sauces given to me.

I keep coming back to Eastside King and am deeply satisfied each time. This week I tried the chef special bowl with delicious pork chunks and many side attractions. I also ordered my customary appetizer spicy wonton with hot chili oil. Great value, easy-going vibe, highly recommend recommended.

So glad there’s an East Side King on SoLa! Their beet fries are NEXT LEVEL— unlike anything my tastebuds have experienced before. The spicy Avocado buns are flavorful and have excellent mouthfeel. I also highly recommend the crispy fried tofu Curry! So many fresh herbs sprinkled on top add a punch of flavor. There’s plenty of seating— high tables, booths and four tops. The parking can be tricky, because the lot adjacent to the building will boot / tow your car (quickly) so be aware to park near Chipotle.

I’ve been loving EAST SIDE KING for nearly 10 years. Last week my wife & I had lunch there after a long afternoon of thrifting. We shared a BENTO BOX of Thai Chicken Kara-agé , Pork Belly Bun, Brussels Sprout Salad, Beet Home Fries, & a ESK Kara Age Bowl of Fried chicken thigh, sweet & spicy sauce, basil, cilantro, mint, onion, and jalapeño. The chicken was super tender & the fresh herbs & veggies were phenomenal. I also polished off a glass of Electric Jellyfish IPA. If you’re a fan of asian fusion cuisine, you’ve gotta try EAST SIDE KING.

Curry had very little flavor, rice was soggy. Ironically the only thing we enjoyed was the Japanese mayo. Overall the food flavor is very subpar

Great food and fun place. It’s more of a Fusion restaurant than a true Japanese restaurant. There’s also a small section of Japanese pre packaged snacks and sweets.
Food was very delicious. The biggest surprise for us was the beet fries- amazing! We also ordered the pork buns, dumplings, chicken karage. All were delicious. The dining area was fun.

Not a personal favorite overall with some of the items we’ve tried, but their pork belly bun was definitely the hit. The rest was just okay.

Really good but really different. So glad I came but struggling to see myself returning. The brussel sprout salad was the highlight for me and the beet fries were a pleasant surprise. The parking was a real struggle. This was supposedly a run away hit food truck turned restaurant. A Austin staple and I see why.

I ordered a Tofu Karage Bowl, and they gave me chicken, I tried to eat around it, but the chicken was pink so I didn’t even bother finishing it. What a waste of money.
