Eastern Pavilion

"Indoor is very beautiful and very spacious. We tried cheese wontons, chicken lo mein, chicken tempura rolls, and sizzling chicken with whote rice. The food was tasty, but I felt the lo mein was a bit salty ( but my 3 year old enjoyed it). Other than that, I would recommend this place."

"I have never encountered such bad experience in my neighborhood. I used to come here frequently with family and friends and the experience is ok. Today when I ordered through the phone I was told it’s about 35 mins wait which is fine for me. When I arrived there, I was told I have to wait another 20 mins. I asked why didn’t you let me know so I could better arrange my time? The lady who worked there said she couldn’t cause she didn’t know how? I’m like what? Then what do you do here? Fine. After waiting another 25 mins, I said it’s been a whole hour of waiting for food and this is beyond acceptable. The lady kept saying “it’s coming, it’s coming “, but the food is never out. Finally I had enough of it after close to one hour and 20 mins of wait time. I said to her it’s enough and I don’t want it anymore and she kept saying it’s coming. “It’s coming”is the only thing she said to me. BTW, if you eat sushi here, be careful. Cause there is a high chance you will eat the sushi with you order receipt in it. Good luck."

"This is certainly your authentic Sichuan restaurant that you can take your partner on a date with. The Eastern Pavilion surpasses TAO's Fusion and Spice Workshop as the best place to have Sichuan signatures around Stony Brook and essentially the whole of Suffolk county East of Nicolls Road. My wife and I tried their wontons in hot chili oil, Dan Dan noodle as appetizers and they were great! Mala Xiang Guo was on point. We like our Hao Jiao (tongue numbing peppercorn) and as requested made it to our preferred spice level. They have American Chinese on the menu too, we will never try it but I'm pretty sure it must be good here judging by how good the authentic stuff is. They also have a nice sushi bar with a really nice Asian alcohol menu. It's way easier to communicate with the servers here because they are quite fluent in English and they are always very friendly with us. Stony Brook is truly blessed to host the most authentic Indian(Taj) and Chinese restaurants either side of a fence."

"Was here the first time for my birthday dinner—WOW, what an unexpected wonderful experience. The inside has been fully renovated and looks beautiful. Clean and modern decor that you can tell the owners truly take pride in. The food was equally delicious—our table had a variety of appetizers and main courses, everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful. Beef with broccoli was excellent. Service was also excellent. Such a treat to have this fabulous restaurant in the neighborhood—-we will most certainly be back! Highly recommended."
