Balans East

About Balans East

Balans East brings an all-day brunch menu to Stratford's Westfield threshold, where parents and shoppers spill onto the outdoor terrace for Korean fried chicken pancakes and breakfast burritos well past noon. Highchairs slot easily between tables, and buggies park without fuss in the spacious layout. The standout dish — four-stack buttermilk pancakes topped with sesame-crusted fried chicken, spicy Korean honey, and green kimchi, draws regulars back repeatedly, alongside the signature quesadillas that one reviewer orders "every single day" when their French friend visits. Reviewers consistently mention staff members Alberto, Michael, and Paul for their warmth. "The pancakes were such a lovely texture, and I'm not even usually a fan of these American style ones," one skeptic admitted after trying the chicken stack. Coffee's strong, the breakfast menu runs all day, and it's handy when you need feeding between shopping runs.
