Since I moved in Fort Mill I've been looking for something to replace my old favorite local hole in the wall China II near Tega Cay...This place seems to be a similar menu (maybe a franchise), but not all the dishes are exactly the same. I liked the fried rice & dumplings better at China II, but the Kung Pao and Crab rangoon better at China East. I am a bit torn at which is better but I think it is China II by a nose because the dumplings at China East are inferior by far. On the positive China East has the best Kung Pao I've had anywhere in the area (still not as perfect, but the closest I've had to perfect for sure). Another complaint I have with them is that some of their dishes go REALLY skimpy on the meat, while others are fine. I wanted to rate it one star less than China II, but I had to bump them on par just because of the Kung Pao. Overall I like this place and will be ordering my Chinese takeout from here most of the time.
Also as someone else mentioned....stay away from the bourbon chicken. It is my least favorite of that dish that I've tried anywhere.
