This restaurant charges the highest price for pork, duck, pig on rice dishes. The quality is average. Even sauce they wanted 40 cent. What a joke....walk a few blocks down to Chinatown, there are plenty of better Chinese / HK restaurants nearby.

I work in a unit above the restaurant, so I've gotten food here easily over a hundred times.
The roast meats are all amazing.
The lunch special (to-go only) is insane value, just utterly insane. There are like a million options and you can customize your own pairings... I really recommend bitter melon + scrambled egg!!
Anyway. This place rocks, one of the most consistent (I've tried like 90% of the huge menu and besides one or two things everything has been amazing) restaurants I've been to.

Classic Cantonese food. Smaller place maybe about 9 tables. Food was solid, waiters were nice.

Chinatown gem for authentic Cantonese—East Season delivers big, fresh flavors! Food was outstanding: roast duck crispy-skinned and juicy, shrimp har gow plump and translucent, BBQ pork tender and sweet-savory, and live clam stir-fry garlicky and briny. Portions huge—great value.
Service was quick and friendly (they hustle during busy times). Atmosphere is classic and energetic—big tables, clattering carts, family vibe—feels like real dim sum chaos in the best way, though it's loud and crowded.

This is actually a one star review. But because you can’t see one star reviews….
Expect them to be rude and embarrass you if you don’t leave a tip. If you go by yourself, they’ll seat you with other people to make space for more customers. I don’t have a problem with that. The issue was the restaurant’s etiquette. If you go in pairs or in a group. One person will receive their food 10 minutes at a time. And if you don't leave a tip due to the amount of rudeness when you kindly ask about your food (i promise i asked kindly. I’m not the type to have an attitude with restaurant workers). The prices are high and it’s $18 to order a side of pork fried rice because the $20 meal does not come with a side.
Bottom line, they stood in my way and made a scene about me not leaving a tip after my bad experience. I would much rather go to a restaurant that’s accommodating to the customer. I gave the guy a $10 tip to de-escalate the situation but I’m not coming back here ever again….

We really enjoyed our meal here! Very casual and absolutely unassuming, it was just what we were looking for. Large portions, authentic, delicious food and a very reasonable price. NO FRILLS! (This cannot be overstated!). Our server was quite friendly and attentive. Seems like the place attracts local folks who are looking for a good meal at a good price.

I purchased a whole Duck and Large chicken fried rice for my family to bring back to NJ and they did not disappoint. We love this style of Duck and everyone enjoyed it. We will definitely be coming back when in NYC. Thanks!

I ordered some BBQ pork and beef chow fun to go and both were pretty good. For everyone who is complaining about the mandatory gratuity added to the bill at the end, the restaurant included it to account for all the tourists visiting from foreign countries where tipping does not exist so they do not tip (unless they are dining in America) and the waiters here rely on those tips and gratuity to pay their wages.
