My boyfriend and I were stuck on what restaurant we should eat at for dinner and also on a time a crunch. But I'm so glad we agreed on 24 East Bistro!!!! The time & day we went we had the restaurant all to ourselves which we thought was cute. Our waitress was wonderful!!! Very Kind, friendly, and took great care of us. Our food was also great. What I also loved too was how our waitress packed our leftovers. I had sushi and an appetizer that had sauces, the sauces were packed separately in a small container but she taped the sauces to the container the sushi was packed in. Usually when you have sauces you're worried about them falling over and spilling in the bag. And out of all the restaurants I've been to that serve sushi none of them ever taped the sauces. I was just so amazed by that, it was thoughtful. We really enjoyed our dining experience, we felt we were well taken care of. We can't wait to come 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!

Still my favorite sushi place after over 10 years. Something about their sushi is just better than any other place I've ever been. I don't know what it is, but everything in here is completely authentic and delicious. I live about an hour away but it is worth the drive every now and then.

Best sushi I’ve ever had, hands down. Such a personalized and lovely experience. Would move to the area to be a regular at this restaurant!

I can’t believe this place isn’t full all the time. I got the maki combo with soup and a salad and three of the the best tasting rolls I’ve ever had. Our server Evi learned everyone’s name and ensured there was no waiting or buildup of food. BYOB and perfect date night!

Can't believe I've never been here before! My husband and I loved our sushi dinner. Service was lovely and quick. It was a quiet night; would love to see how things are when it's busy. Recommend for sure!

I ordered Katsu Kare Lunch Special for to go. Honestly it was much better than my expectations. Foods - from packing to taste - was great, especially Kare taste was good as much as my experience at the kare restaurants in Korean and Japan (Not to say high-end kare restaurants like 30 for dish, but above average). Staff was nice, price was okay. so definitely willing to order again.
