Great Eastern Restaurant

"Overall meh. Restaurant very clean. Servers friendly but I had to ask for items. My chow mein was dry... I just left it. The Peking duck was the most reasonable price we found. It was ok...but if you mix the red chili sauce with the plum sauce, you will have a great zest flavor! I really enjoyed the wonton soup (the server granted my request for a small bowl). The fried shrimp dumplings and sweet and sour sauce was amazing!"

"We recently dined at Great Eastern Restaurant in San Francisco, and the overall experience was delightful. While the pricing may lean towards the higher side for portion sizes that are not overly generous, the flavor and taste of the dishes make up for it. The exception was the spring roll, which didn't quite meet expectations. The service was commendable, and the restaurant maintained a clean ambiance, although the interior showed signs of age. The downstairs restroom, although aged, did not compromise cleanliness. However, it's worth noting that the downstairs location could be challenging for individuals with disabilities due to the stairs. Despite these considerations, the dining experience was memorable, especially with the authentic Peking duck, chicken feet, and fried rice. A standout was the tofu skin with ginko nuts, which added a unique and delightful touch to the meal. If you're in Chinatown, San Francisco, Great Eastern Restaurant is a must-try for those seeking an authentic and flavorful culinary adventure."

"Pretty dim sum overall but don't get that layered cake. It was awful: doughy and too sweet with no other discernable flavor. The vegetable dishes were oddly all overpriced. The place seems to be coasting along the fact that Obama once ate there."

"We have eaten authentic dim sum at this restaurant several times. In the lunch last Sunday, the restaurant charged 18-percent gratuity fee in advance. This was the first time for them to do so for us. There was no description in voice or in text. How much the gratuity will be paid should be decided by customers. If the restaurant charges, they should notice gratuity in advance in front of the entrance."

"We have been dying for a good DimSum restaurant in Chinatown. We found it! Their DimSum was fresh and delicious. We had the shrimp dumplings three different ways. The fried ones were different with a great taste. We started with a big bowl of Won Ton soup which was filling. We were happy to find this place down from Grant street on Jackson Street. Enjoy this place for DimSum or the regular Chinese menu. People were happy eating their dishes!"
