East Ocean Restaurant

Went there with a couple colleagues. They had a special menu that went 2/12/15 through 2/28/15 just for the Chinese New Year.

We got there around 6:30pm and it was quite busy! Had to wait for a table for about 30 minutes.

The service was at an ok-pace - they told me that it is a family-run establishment. We were served some hot tea along with ice water.

We ordered a bunch of items: the beef brisket clay pot, sizzling chicken dish, deep-fried whole chicken, shrimps and scallops with fried cream, and the pineapple fried rice.

To sum up, everything was very fresh and tasty. I would like to refute previous reviews who stated that their non-seafood items were sub-par - try the beef clay pot and the deep-fried chicken and you will be convinced. The sauce for the clay pot was rich and tasty without being greasy; the deep-fried chicken was the best deep-fried chicken I have had outside North Carolina, where the art of deep-frying is well-practiced. The sizzling chicken mesmerized us with its mysterious yummy sauce. The friend rice had the rare and precious "wok-qi" that traditional Cantonese people know about :) The shrimps and scallops were fresh and cooked just right.

In a nutshell, go to East Ocean if you want authentic Chinese food!

I went here yesterday after work for a Chinese New Year dinner. They were already slammed with a full house of Asian people celebrating and the phone was ringing off the hook with orders. They still took care of everyone very well and the food was amazing. They were so busy because everyone knows this place is so good.

Order: small wonton soup, combination egg foo yung, garlic chicken. Yeah, that's a lot for one person (portions are very generous), but I wanted to take some home to enjoy over the weekend.

SO GOOD, all of it. I wish all of them and you a happy lunar new year. And I appreciate the service.

Chinese restaurant that has above and beyond menu and service. Everything tastes authentic. Their duck was wonderful- thin fat, crispy skin. Seafood tofu soup was superb.

Celebrated Christmas Eve with our family and ordered take-out. It was a very large order, so I went in the day before to place it. Everything turned out perfect! Got everything we asked for at the time we asked for it and it tasted amazing, as always! Been going here since we moved into the neighborhood 20 years ago. Great job!

Duck was nice a little bit salty. Fried tofu not worth it. Too much oily and the price is similar to main meal. Chicken kung pao was tasty but only 20% in the plate was chicken, the rest was full of vegetables. The service not friendly. Basically can sense that she don't like being questioned even to ask how does it taste. Overall is average. Can try duck for once.
