" Overall a great experience! The cart service was one of the highlights—so much to choose from, and the staff was friendly. The har gow was amazing and truly popped with flavors, much better than what I’ve had elsewhere. However, I felt a couple of plates were a bit overpriced for the portion size. Despite this, I still think East Ocean is a must-visit for anyone in Alameda looking for quality dim sum. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our visit to East Ocean, I enjoyed the overall experience. The dim sum variety was delightful, especially the fried shrimp balls. While I found the price per plate a bit steep, I can't deny the quality of food made it worth it. The ambiance created a very lively environment, perfect for a chatty brunch with friends. However, it took a bit longer to get our orders at some moments, which was slightly disappointing. Despite some hiccups, I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had HIGH expectations from East Ocean, and while the food was certainly good, it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. The service was efficient, but perhaps a little too quick, making me feel rushed. I ordered a variety of dim sum and found some dishes to be a little bland compared to what I usually expect from authentic places. Though it was enjoyable, I think I’ll try a few more places before I'd return. Just my two cents! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a somewhat mixed experience at East Ocean. The atmosphere was inviting and my friends and I enjoyed the ambiance, but some of the food didn’t meet expectations, particularly the fried rice which lacked seasoning. However, the staff was excellent and made sure we had everything we needed. I also loved their dessert options, especially the mango pudding! It's a good spot for dim sum, but I might explore some other places for more authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" When my friends invited me to brunch at East Ocean, I wasn't sure what to expect. I’ve had a lot of dim sum in the past, and while startups can be hit or miss, I was pleasantly surprised! The food quality was impressive; we had both classic dishes like siu mai and innovative options like crispy shrimp rolls. I especially loved how everything was served hot. They can get busy, especially on weekends, but it's worth the wait for the food. I would recommend it to anyone craving good dim sum. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a breath of fresh air for dim sum lovers! East Ocean offers a delightful array of dumplings and buns, with the added charm of traditional push carts. It felt authentic and really brought back memories from my travels. The siu mai was divine, while the egg tarts stole the show for dessert! I can’t recommend it enough. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many dim sum places in the Bay, but East Ocean has quickly become my favorite. The flavors are spot on and so many items were just perfectly prepared. The stuff on the carts, like the pork buns and chicken feet, made it a true dim sum experience. Staff were friendly and attentive, but can be a bit overwhelming when they push the carts around with so many delicious options! I’m definitely planning to come back with friends and try more items.
