Seafood fished from big tanks & dim sum bites are the main draws at this basic Chinese spot.

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. They serve it with buns instead. The skin of the duck was nice and crispy.
Service was not bad for a Chinese restaurant.

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!

This is a place I often visit when I’m in San Francisco, and I finally decided to write a review today. Both the food and the atmosphere have always been satisfying, and every visit feels familiar and comforting. I appreciate that they’ve kept up their quality — definitely a spot worth recommending.

Good dim sum and service! Prices are reasonable. It was filled to capacity with diners waiting at the front lobby for an open tabke. The din sum dishes were of a good size and delicious. The noise is loud like a true dim sum restaurant. The wait staff provided good service. A good place for dim sum and tea.

Very bad food. The chicken soup was stinky, no taste in any food. We ordered Kang pola chicken, veg roll, fried shrimp dumplings and soup. We left the remaining food there, since it was too bad. The owner/person in the counter – demanded tips, which was unreasonable. we informed him the service was bad. We were waiting for the bill almost 15mins. Only 3 waiters were there. I won’t recommend this place

Authentic Cantonese dimsum. Locals love to talk loud over good food. Enjoy! Everything was fresh & steamy hot.

When we arrived in San Francisco, we stayed near Union Square, and Chinatowm was pretty close by. We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to eat in the largest Chinatown in the United States, so we went with the recommendation provided to us….the Great Eastern Restaurant.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we were seated downstairs, and this restaurant had a classic Cantonese setting with white table cloths and a vintage decor.
We had Kong Pau Chicken, Sautéed Beef with string beans, and Fried Rice all served with Green Tea. 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. This was actually my first time eating in a Chinese restaurant (as I would usually get take out), and the Great Eastern Restaurant left a great impression.
If you are visiting San Francisco’s Chinatown, this is a great place to stop for a hearty meal.
