" I had heard lots of good things about this place, and it lived up to the hype! The Peking duck was great but the star was truly the dim sums! They are incredibly authentic, quite possibly the best I've had in the city. The atmosphere was vibrant with laughter and chatter. Although, I noticed our table was a bit neglected at times as we had to flag down the servers. Regardless, I would highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at Great Eastern recently and while the food was good, it didn't quite meet the expectations set by the hype. The dumplings were fresh and tasted good, but some of the dishes, like the fried rice, felt underwhelming. I do appreciate the authenticity of the cuisine, specifically the dim sum. However, the service could use improvement as my requests were somewhat ignored. I might return, but perhaps explore other options first. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our group had a fantastic dim sum banquet at Great Eastern! Every single dish was remarkably fresh and authentically prepared. The service, while somewhat speedy, was also a tad unfriendly at times, but we were there for the food! Everything from the shrimp dumplings to the steamed buns was on point. Toilets were a bit dated, but the food made all that easily forgivable. Plus, the tea is complimentary! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Great Eastern was certainly memorable! The authenticity of the dishes offered here is undeniable. The Peking duck, while maybe not the best I have ever had, was satisfying. The restaurant was busy, which usually means good food, and that was the case. However, I felt overwhelmed with the noise level, and the service could have been a bit faster overall. Still, I recommend it for authentic dim sum lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great Eastern was recommended for its authentic dim sum. I had high expectations, and for the most part, they were met. The variety was excellent, and the taste was authentic. My only complaint was my table being slightly neglected; our waiter was elusive at times. But all in all, the dumplings and soup were fantastic! I'd happily return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is quite famous in the area and for good reason! Their dim sum selection is truly delicious, and they serve some of the best shrimp dumplings that I've tasted in Chinatown. The service was prompt and friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively and fun, perfect for sharing with friends. Definitely my new favorite place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about the quality of the food at Great Eastern Restaurant. Loved every bite of the shrimp and cilantro dumplings and the steamed pork buns were delightful. The ambiance was bustling, typical of a lively Chinatown eatery. Though the service wasn't perfect, our needs were generally met. I left very satisfied and would return. " (*Curated Review*)
