Good food
I had their shark soup and shrimp balls during their dim sum and it was good. It's a definite must! My other friends got the sweet and sour pork with rice and it was reasonably priced. Lots of chinese people come here for lunch and dinner so it's a place not to be missed as long as you can find this place.

Authentic Chinese Food
If there's one place in Chinatown that seafood lovers should check out, it's Great Eastern. Be prepared for a very authentic Hong Kong style menu, with some exotic dishes, like abalone and shark. For those who are less experimental, they also offer more "traditional" Chinese fare. The best way to experience Great Eastern? Bring a huge group, order a large variety of dishes and share away. With two floors, this place is designed for large parties. My favorite time to go? When it's crab season. They prepare it every imaginable way-- all of it good.

China without airfare expense
We recently enjoyed the Great Eastern Restaurant--in fact, it was a return visit after more than 25 years and the food was still very good. It was like being able to go to China without the airfare expense and jet-lag. The starters were delicious and the lobster an unexpected surprise. Even the jello-like pudding with a hint of ginger was a taste worth remembering. Service was excellent!

Attach of the killer egg rolls!
Service was good, although the food did a number to my stomach! - not the best Chinese I've had. I wouldnt recommend it.

Great Quick Service
This restuarant beats any place for quickness. I ordered and 7 minutes later it came out. Plus, for a Chinese Restaurant the service was pretty good. I requested my fish to be cooked and certain way and they accomodated me happily. This is not one of those cheaper Chinese restaurants with sticky red seats and cups you have to re-wipe. It's a bit more expensive but the decor is nice, roomy, servings large, and service good. Plus they give you for free almond jello (heavenly taste) and OJ slices.

best cantonese in sf
This is the best cantonese in the City. It's a bit pricey but it's worth it. Stick with seafood dishes and you'll do ok.

Tasty food, good value
Their dim sum is excellent and a much better value than Yank Sing. We always order way more than we can really eat because most everything is delicious.

Solid Decent Chinese Food
I've been here twice and the food is definitely solid. Solid, meaning there are definitely dishes here I would eat to satisfy my hunger for chinese food. There are alot of bad chinese restaurants in chinatown (ironically the better ones are in the suburbs), but for chinatown this restaurant is decent. Decor/ambiance is decent. Service has always been good the two times I was there. And they do have validated parking for two hours at the Holiday Inn (I think it's after 5pm though). I would try the Scrambled eggs and prawns chow fun. Interesting combination, but it's pretty good!

Should be called Nothing great Eastern
I was completely underwhelmed with my experience of great eastern. There plates were so bland that it left me wanting, we family styled some 8-10 dishes, and none of them were exceptional, few were average and several were downright awful. With acess to so many fresh vegetables along Stockton, I was disappointed to see mostly canned goods making there way onto these plates, Rehydrated oyster and shitake mushrooms, cannned bamboo shoots and baby corn, zero ginger, crappy white sauces, frozen goyza potstickers. I could have put together a better meal at home. With the final bill coming to 165 USD, I was amazed to see people putting up with such poor food. Out of towners may like the feel of a Chinatown experience, but for locals looking for hunan and mandarin its blah, blah, blah.

Fantastic Cantonese
The last reviewer who said blah blah blah mentioned you wouldn't be happy with great eastern if you are looking for Mandarin or Hunan. Well, guess what? This is neither of those. It's Cantonese, and the flavors in Cantonese are much more subtle than throwing a heap of red peppers on something and calling it flavor. This is a great restaurant and I highly recommend it for Dim Sum and regular dining. If you want Hunan, don't go to a Cantonese restaurant then trash it because it isn't something it never purports to be.

This place has really good duck! amazing duck! they also have a lot of other good chinese food but I can't get enough of there duck. For a chinese restaurant, it is very very clean. There is definitely a wait during the weekends!

great food
This is one of the best restaurants in Chinatown or anywhere else. The food is always fresh. Helpful friendly waiters. It can be very busy at lunch time but always a lot of tables. Always full of families and tourists.

Over-hyped restaurant with bad service, mediocre food, and a long wait time
As a native Chinese, I'm an avid fan of dim sum and have eaten at quite a few restaurants, but I don't have anything good to say about Great Eastern. The food was only average (the shrimp dumplings fell apart when we picked them up, everything was lukewarm, and there was layer over our porridge after it'd been sitting out too long), the decorations shabby, and the service was HORRIBLE. The waiters were downright curt with us, dumping our food on the table with a scowl before they whisked off somewhere else. No joke - I think I've been treated that way only once or twice in my life.Worldwide > United States > San Francisco, CA > Fast Food Restaurants
