Stopped in here with a bit of time to pass before meetings nearby and saw this place up on the upper floor. Was happy to see it was a sit down option and was even happier to see the food on the menu. I ended up with a spicy tofu and noodle dish that had fresh vegetables and really hit the spot. The other two in my group had a heaping dish of pork fried rice and the other had a spicy yellow curry. All the food looked great and good sized portions. Prices were about $15 a plate, which isn't inexpensive, but far outclasses the food court options in Union Station without being that much more. They got a bit overwhelmed before we left but overall it was a good lunch and I would happily come back.

Very fast service and great food. We had a good variety of dishes--spicy basil fried rice, Pad Thai, and the red curry. Everything was spiced just right. Definitely recommend arriving early for your train so you can check East Street Cafe out

I had the Curry Laksa Noodle Soup from Singapore and I highly recommend! It was so delicious that I had to take the rest of it back to the hotel for later!

The food here isn't too bad at all. Good location as there is lots of foot traffic and easy to find and walk-in. Gets quite busy during lunch hour. Yours truly @fooderarri

Amazing food and amazing staff!

This was a nice place to sit down and have a tasty lunch while in Union Station. It's a cut above the chain restaurants in the food court. Service was prompt. Food was tasty.

- foods good- staff is pretty friendly- food portion is a lot- service is pretty quick- a good atmosphere inside the restaurant area- prices are good- overall I'd recommend it

last night was the first time in this place. But It is surely not the last. We had great time with the generous service, with the high quality meal and fine drinks and with the modest pay. We will absolutely visit there soon.

The quieter side of the Hill. This is where I go when I just need to unwind from a day of meetings and stress.
