I have been ordering here for over a year. I always get our food hot and fast. It's better than what I originally thought it would be and have to say it's super super good.Thankyou East Kitchen for always being consistent and fantastic.Always a recommendation in my interactions .

Everything I order from here is fresh and delicious. Anything you order is great. My favorite is the dinner for two and add wonton soup! Dim sum is also fantastic ?

Pleasantly surprised by the authentic taste. We went for the Peking duck. Served different from what I am used to in Europe but the chef definitely put effort into it. And came out of the kitchen twice to peek if we enjoyed it ?. Always a good sign when a chef has some proud in his own creation. The one person serving has been very friendly to us in a casual way and even asked if we know how to eat this dish ??. We are only in the area for a few weeks but will be returning before we leave. Recommended for ppl who don’t need a too fancy environment, and like the real thing instead of a fake smile and high heels. This is the place to go for enjoying your dinner.

Just picked up an order of the house fried rice it was very good and a very good portion. I will be back to dine in and try some more dishes.

This used to be our "go to" for Chinese food. The last few times it has not been as good. Tried again last night and it was horrible. All of the meat in the dishes was hard and stringy. Couldn't eat the ginger beef or sweet and sour pork. The rice was some strange yellow colour that it had never been before. Everything fairly cold when used to be piping hot. Expensive too considering half the dishes inedible. This is last time ordering from here. Have to find a new place to order from

Very friendly staff and very delicious Chinese food. I like the Chicken Chow Mein and Sweet And Sour Pork combo for 1 with some Siracha Chili Sauce on the side.

We used to love this place but they must have a new cook, as the food has gone dramatically downhill. We will probably try again later this year but if it hasn't improved we won't be coming back. Everyone I ask lately seems to say the same

Har Gow is my favorite. All the food here if very good the Dim Sum is my favorite <3and I think we all know the chili oil is terrible, for the memes I guess lol <3(but if it's not for memes I can give you some spices or a free lesson with chili oil gift XoXo)

Food was pretty good but service was lousy. Owner or waitress was not attentive at all and made us feel very unwelcomed. Bare minimum service. If they cared a bit more about the business it would be a good place to dine at. Only service we got was from the cook serving the food and when we asked for the bill the waitress was very fast to take our payment.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food for this large delivery order for a party. Food arrived promptly and was hot and delicious. Everyone was happy with the food! Thankyou

Food was not terrible but absolutely not fabulous. Just average really...can get better food at the food court for a quarter of the price. Crispy chicken Chow Mein was soggy wasn't even good as a regular chow mein. The chicken fried rice was good and the deep fried squid was great. Almond chicken and chicken balls were very bland and can both use a bit of revamping. Really just below average.

We came in about 2:30 with only one person on duty. Didn’t know what we wanted so asked if the server could recommend something. After a few questions she went away and when she came back we had a most delicious lunch. Thank youParking: Lots of parking.

I think this may have been the worst Chinese food I can remember eating. I realize I may be spoiled after living in Vancouver and working in Richmond for 8 years, and I am sorry to come across so harshly, but the food was terrible. I hope I just ordered on an "off" evening.

Very rude service, we went there last night for dinner and the server was very rude, asked if we wanted any drinks we said we were good for now. was going to order drinks with the food, then she just said want water we said ok. As she was turning around she rolled her eyes at us, also for now reason came to our table and said you know their is no buffet right. We didn't even want the buffet if there was one, we ended up walking out before ordering because she made it feel like we were not welcome there. The restaurant was pretty much empty hope the owners see this and find a way to fix the service there. Also the cost there is getting very expensive.

The buffet has been closed for over a year. They refuse to take down their signs and then when you call and inquire you get nothing but attitude. The last few times the take take out has been horrible either being to greasy or coming out cold. This used to be one of my family's favourite restaurants and now we refuse to order from them.
