Very big portions and nonfrills type of restaurant with great seafood choices
Kenny Tran
Man, I really didn’t want to write this review but at this point I can’t let it slide anymore.
I frequent this restaurant quite often. Sometimes it’s just for lunch or dinner. Other times it’s whole trays of food. The food itself is good. But, The biggest issue I have is inconsistencies with pricing.
Over the phone I would be told 46 and change but in person it would cost 51. Unfortunately for me, this had happened several occasions now.
One might think that it’s just tax they add on after. No other restaurant does it this way. That’s also nearly 10%.
I don’t know why I would have to barter for my takeout just to pay the right amount. This type of greed is really pointless. I don’t get why they do this.
Please be wary and don’t get up-charged.

Very authentic traditional Cantonese Chinese cuisine. Food is delicious and this place is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area. I'm not talking about spring rolls or crab rangoons, but real Chinese food.
They also have Chinese BBQ inside, like crackling pork, roast pork, roast duck, soy sauce chicken. You can also order these for takeout.
Service is usually good but can get busy if restaurant is full sometimes. Atmosphere is good, but can get crowded if restaurant is full. Great for lunch when it's less busy, and great place for a family dinner.
Price is fair. $10-20 for individual, and of course family style would be more.
Free street parking around the area.

My opinion is that this was the best quality food and price in Quincy.

The vegetable oil here is so big. I ordered takeout and brought home half a box of oil. My appetite is gone

Small place that cooks authentic dishes from my childhood restaurant memories. We went at a slow time - 2p on a Monday - and were the only ones eating. The waiter was efficient and helpful and understood my Americanized Toisanese. We got everything exactly the way I asked for them to be cooked. Food is old school nostalgic and very reasonably priced for the generous serving size. It’s a small space so it is usually packed when we walk by but we went in today because it was post mid day lunchtime so we sat and ordered right away. Would definitely return to try more menu items. It’s a large menu.

This was our first visit to East Chinatown Restaurant, based on a Google Maps search. It seems we arrived close to closing time (within 2 hours), as many of the tempting Chinese BBQ options were already sold out or past their prime. Additionally, the staff appeared to be winding down for the day, resulting in minimal service and a wait for our food to be cooked.
While the food was affordable, it lacked flavor and presentation.
On the bright side, there's a small parking lot behind the restaurant (in addition to street parking), which is helpful to know. We plan to return at an earlier time to experience the full menu and hopefully, enjoy a more attentive service and tastier dishes.

Prices listed on their own website are wrong. Found out when the total was a LOT higher when calling in an order. Person on the phone became angry when I asked for the actual prices of items, or if they're busy, where I could find an updated menu. I was belligerently told to just drive all the way over and pick up a physical menu.

Awesome food, Buddas Delight, beef Chow Foon, beef brisket noodle soup and Singapore fried rice were all excellent. This is your classic family run Chinese restaurant that provides amazing food for a great price. Servings are large, wait staff friendly. I recommend this to anyone looking for authentic food. This is not a dress up place to take a date for the 5 star atmosphere, but take her if she values great food. The only downside to this restaurant and all others in the area is the parking is terrible. The city of Quincy needs to figure something out as it effects the businesses all around

Lively and communal. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but good food if you strategize a bit on your order! Shrimp fried rice on point ? ✨, bok choy and garlic was a miss ?, but beef and broccoli ?✨ on point. Large portions on everything and fair price. Would come again!

I live in Charleston, SC but my daughter lives in Quincy, MA. We found this restaurant when she first moved here and the food was amazing. So every time I visit her we order from here. So yesterday I came to Quincy because my daughter had to get some Dental Work done. We stop by do that I can order some food from me and my husband. First of All, I gave the guy my order about ten times! He told me that it was going to be about 30 minutes, so I waited in the car with my daughter and when I went back in , the people that was serving other tables were just rude. I get it the place is not that big and it’s always crowded But there’s no reason to be rude when Customers come in and are spending their money! The food was still Not ready after 30 minutes and when I got to my daughter’s apartment to eat with my husband, The Box contained the Driest Noodles that I ever had and the Wings weren’t Battered Fried as usual! The Noodles weren’t even covered with any type of sauce! I asked for Fried Chicken Wings , Pork Fried Rice, and Shrimp Lo Mein but I got Dry Noodles, Naked Wings, and No Rice for $25.00!! I guess they didn’t want to service Black Americans last night!!

This is where a dude from Hong Kong would take his family to have dim sum on a weekend. I find myself returning here out of all the dim sum spots I've tried in Boston.
You’ll want to return again and again.
