Great Eastern Restaurant

Came to this Chinese dim sum place at the recommendation of ChatGPT…chose it because Lee Hsien Long and Obama was here. Food was 50:50 - half was amazing, other half meh. - long beans sold as four season bean was meh…not crunchy, the seed was large (meaning beans were old) - siew mai was so-so only - every dim sum restaurant would be judged by their siew mai - the prawn was chunky, but that’s about it. What’s really good: - steamed pork rib - the meat was tender and chunky. One of the best I’ve ever had in terms of the flavor - chicken feet was great too - the feet were all so fleshy..very different from what we usually have in Asia. - “Peking duck” was nice…but it’s not really served authentic Peking duck style with the dumpling skin.

We ate here for Thanksgiving dinner. There was a waiting line but we got in within 5mins and with the nice supervisor/manager. The place is old but well kept and decor with Chinese painting and wooden doors and displace of roasted duck, bbq meats and fish tanks. The menu is quite big but plenty of choices. We decided to stick with DimSum and 1/2 of Perking Duck. Easy order with our waiter, whom is nice and friendly guy. Wishing 5mins, the foods started rolling out. Quite big portion with reasonable price tag. The foods are hot, quite tasting, and packed with favor. Quite impressive. We really enjoyed our Asian Thanksgiving dinner here at this place a lot more than we expected that we ate them all and were overly full. Thank you.

Food was so good and fresh!! Customer service was excellent. Would definitely recommend this place for authentic dim sum and Chinese food. We ordered the beef chow fun, shrimp fried rice, salt and pepper chicken and pork. And dim sum!! 10/10

A decent restaurant in Chinatown. The service was good. The tea especially was highlight as well. Loved our peeking duck and fried crab. Both were delicious. The ambience was decent.

My mom and I ate here on 11/7 and we had the best dinner here of our whole trip to sf! The food was very tasty, at an excellent temperature and the staff was very attentive. They sat us right away as soon as we entered the restaurant and gave us a delicious hot tea to go with our meal. We will be eating here when we go back to sf for sure!
