I came here twice at 5pm after work on a weekday. There were nothing left but scraps. Some of the food items were actually packaged in tiny containers for a quick and discounted sale. I left both times without buying anything. Terrible.

UPDATE: The owners now have plastic bowls and stuff that they put the liquidy foods in, which is great. The review below was for that one incident, so don't take it as a review for everything else about this place. The food here is great, especially the dumplings and fish balls. They're even better than kam wai's, i think. And they cook very well, not sticky nor mushy. They make it all there. But do be aware that the prices on the big board are outdated and they are a bit higher.
ORIGINAL POST: I ordered take out of the beef brisket with turnip and the chef puts it in a tin container with a paper plate on top. All the liquid leaked right out. I come here every week and the lady that usually helps me never puts liquid in this container. I am so disappointed at how this guy has no common sense whatsoever. Who puts liquid in that??!

East Kitchen, located on Victoria Drive in Vancouver, is a popular Chinese restaurant known for its variety of dishes and affordable prices. The restaurant offers delicious fast food Chinese dishes. I personally like their BBQ meats, eggplant dishes, and freshly fried fish cakes. It’s set up like Kent’s kitchen where you can buy a combination or items to go.
The prices are affordable. Cash only. It’s a great place for last minute meals. This place is take out only there is no dining area.

The food at this restaurant is top-notch for the price. You can choose from a wide variety of dishes from pork, chicken, fish, vegetables, and even fish balls. Everything is well-seasoned, unlike some nearby restaurant (same concept but with better parking) that rely heavily on MSG.
It’s surprising that this place isn’t busier. It might be because it's located right in front of a bus stop, which makes parking out front a bit tricky. However, they do have parking available in the back, a detail many customers may not be aware of.
Also, the lady at the counter is friendly, which adds to the overall positive experience.

Just remember the meat balls covered with fish paste. Never disappoint & hot & sour soup is great!!! The staff will recommend daily freshly cooked dishes. Just ask first. But if you expect high end Chinese food then probably go to Richmond fancy restaurants which could cost a fortune.

Cuttlefish balls are fish balls ，without the cuttlefish
Bought a 2 item take out box with rice. The braised beef was not overly salty yet still had flavor and tender, fish was good. Great value. They also had freshly fried fish ball which had good mouth feel. The lady serving was nice.

I ordered the 3-items lunch box for less than $10! The chickens and vegetable are fresh. My take-out came with a regular take-out box. If I am in the neighbourhood again, I will definitely come by.

Authentic , yet delicious home cooked dishes with no msg. However, its take out box is extremely shallow. Single scoop depending on item purchased. Definitely not getting the bang for your after-tax dollars :(
