About Great Eastern Restaurant

Great Eastern Restaurant is a popular dim sum spot in Chinatown, known for its delicious offerings and lively atmosphere. The service is consistently good, even when the restaurant is busy. Ordering is done through a paper menu, allowing diners to select their desired dim sum items. The food is unanimously praised, with highlights including the veggie fried egg rolls, pork/veggie gyozas, and the chow mein, which are rated highly by customers. The Beef Fried rice and pork fried rice weren’t that good, but the Spicy chicken curry was good, and the Pecking Duck was good. The Kong Pau Chicken was sweet and spicy, the Sautéed Beef was tender, and the Fried Rice had a good balance of eggs and scallions. The prices were reasonable, the portions were generous, and the service was quick. It has a simple atmosphere, not too sophisticated and decent food. Great Eastern Restaurant left a great impression and is a great place to stop for a hearty meal. While the honey walnut prawns and fried rice were slightly less impressive, the overall dining experience is described as "solid" and "very good." The restaurant's reputation is further bolstered by the fact that it has even welcomed a former U.S. President, making it a must-try for those craving authentic Chinese cuisine in the Chinatown area.
