Come try our new Chinese Veggie Fried Rice!
At East Wind, we want to encourage all to come out and eat. We love clicking our phones and having food brought to you, but how about having food made fresh to order to eat on the spot? Connecting with your community? Saving some money vs all those delivery fees?
We are offering several dishes that are available only for dine in. This is one of them. Soft fluffy rice, sautéed with onions, garlic and Chinese veggies topped with fried shallots, scallions and a ginger scallion dressing.
There's more specials to come. Also free giveaways like East Wind T shirts, hats, tote bags and even signed copies of our book, "Damn Good Chinese Food"!
Also, come in, eat, and tell your server you skipped Doordash today and we will give you 20% off your bill.
The weather is nice and for now, this is available at our 417 7th Ave location in Park Slope.
Thanks,
The East Wind Family
