24 East Bistro - Lower Saucon

I have eaten at this restaurant many times and it saddens me to write this review. It has always been good which is why it has survived the pandemic and has been open for many years in the same location. But today at lunch the food was not good at all. The sushi was tasteless and even the sushi rice was pasty and of poor quality. The udon noodles had no taste whatsoever. Even the hot sauce could not help. Maybe it was an aberration and the chef was having a bad day but it was disappointing because my meals here have always been excellent. Wondering if the quality has gone down overall or was this just a one off experience

I lived in Japan 35 years ago. One of my favorite dishes was okonomiyaki. When friend told me this restaurant served it, I wanted to go. It was delicious! I missed being able to make it myself like in Japan but it was still yummy! Our waitress was very kind as well!

I ordered curry katsu and it was too salty for me. The sushi was okay, but a bit expensive.

Great place,food delicious. Staff was nice and efficient. Definitely going back.

24 East is a gem and has been a go to place for me for years for a quick sushi fix. Evie and Rudy are really what make this a special and intimate place. After not having been to 24 East in almost a year due to some life changes, Evie remembered me today as soon as I walked in, and offered a warm smile and hug. It's rare to find these types of places anymore. Go for the laid back no frills atmosphere, being able to BYOB, and to always have service with a smile- or grab some take out!
