" I returned to East Ocean after hearing so many recommendations, but my experience was a bit mixed. While the dumplings were tasty and the staff were friendly, I felt some dishes were flat and lacked the depth of flavor I expect from authentic dim sum. The atmosphere was quite cozy, and I genuinely appreciated how quick the service was. It's worth noting that the prices are on the higher side, but for special occasions, it could still be a good choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went out of curiosity after I heard East Ocean has some of the best dim sum in the Bay. It was pretty accurate! I was amazed by their dim sum trolley serving, a fun throwback to traditional dining. The food itself had a unique flavor profile. The char siu buns were so good, and the variety overall was impressive—and let's not forget how everything was fresh! All in all, my family and I left satisfied. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic dim sum. " (*Curated Review*)

" This past weekend I took my family for brunch at East Ocean, and we were all impressed. The variety of dim sum offered was overwhelming in a great way. We started with the traditional shrimp har gow and moved on to tried something new: taro dumplings, which were a delicious surprise! Our service was attentive, and we never waited long for a new plate to come around. If you're looking for fresh, authentic dim sum with quality ingredients, you must check this place out. I left more than satisfied and can’t wait for our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic seafood at East Ocean! During my last visit, we tried a variety of dim sum, and even ordered some from the main menu. The service staff was quick and accommodating. The fresh ingredients truly made a difference; I could taste it in every dish. I did feel it was a bit pricey for some items, but again, you get what you pay for in terms of quality. I would highly recommend East Ocean for both quality and authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for dim sum with my family last weekend, and while the food was delicious, the service was a little chaotic. The carts were great, and the dumplings were moist, but I could see employees rushing, which affected the service quality. Still, good food and the lively atmosphere made it worthwhile. Would come back, but perhaps during off-peak hours! " (*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.
