text: A visit to Wild East for lunch with a girlfriend today was a solid 3 (the good 3, not the meh 3).  Their lunch specials are Monday - Saturday 11:00 - 4:00.  Along with lunch prices are lunch portions (sigh).  \n\nMy girlfriend is a lover of sushi, and with 3 wee ones she doesn't get her choice for meals very often, so she suggested Wild East for lunch.  I had never been, but it was on my radar.  I usually pass by during rush hour traffic where it is almost impossible to get in or out of this cute little place, depending on which way you are going.  I arrived around 12:45 and it looks like I just missed the lunch rush, they were busy busing just about every table in the place, so their lunch crowd must be a big one.  \n\nGirlfriend ordered a plate of 3 kinds of sushi.  6 small pieces each (small compared to the ginormous rolls they serve at Cowfish, I don't eat sushi, so I have no other comparison).  I ordered the Mongolian Beef lunch special with white rice.  Lunch specials come with your choice of salad or soup (wonton, hot and sour, miso).  I had been wanting to try miso, so I went with that.  I can say that I have tried it now, not a fan.  The girlfriend also ordered the miso and ate all of it, so I am going to say that my dislike was personal taste preference and not the quality of the soup.\n\nOnto the Mongolian Beef ($7).  Well flavored.  I am accustomed to the PF Changs version, served with green onions, which I don't eat.  Wild East is served with regular onions, which I prefer and they were cooked well.  There was a large ice cream scoop of white rice on one corner of the plate and small/medium portion of the Mongolian Beef served on a few of the white crunchy noodles (I don't know what they are called...).  It was mostly Mongolian and not much Beef.  The few pieces of beef were very well flavored and tender, I just wish there had been more, there may have been 5 small, thin pieces of beef in the dish.\n\nWhile disappointed with the portion, my lunch was very good.  The service was friendly and attentive with the drink refills.  The restaurant appeared clean and the host was quite nice.  I would return if my girlfriend needs another sushi fix.
