East Garden Restaurant

Came here with a Cantonese friend who said you have to order roasted pigeon to judge authenticity—and it did not disappoint 😄 The roast duck was super crispy (no sauce needed at all), and the pigeon was juicy and flavorful. Beef chow fun had great wok hei and wasn’t greasy. Loved the crab meat fish maw soup—very comforting. Walnut shrimp wasn’t overly sweet either, which I appreciated. Didn’t get to try the rice rolls since we came for dinner, but they looked great—definitely coming back for that. Solid Cantonese spot

The portions were generous, but the flavours were just okay overall. Even a basic dish like stir-fried morning glory was a little disappointing compared to the standard you would usually expect from restaurants. It had some wok hei, but the texture wasn’t particularly tender or silky — it honestly felt more like a home-cooked version. Not sure if it was the vegetables themselves or the cooking technique, but it didn’t really stand out.

Great Cantonese food in Chinatown. Everything we ordered was flavorful, especially the Peking duck and beef brisket. Service was smooth and parking was easy. Would come back!

Pleasant, clean interior with fast service. Fish maw soup had good flavor but maw was leathery tough. Salt and Pepper Squid was overcooked. Scallop Fried Rice was made using rock hard dried scallops, and it almost broke my teeth to eat. I'm not sure the people working here understand Cantonese cooking.

During my last visit to Chinatown, my partner and some friends enjoyed a meal nearby, and I couldn’t help but notice the hustle and bustle of this restaurant. A couple of months later, we decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad we did—they did not disappoint! The restaurant was clean and inviting, and I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu. We opted for a mix of dim sum and a lunch special. The shiu mai and beef noodle roll were delicious, while the spare ribs could have been improved. That said, the pork chops were a bit on the salty side due to MSG, but they were incredibly flavorful and damn delicious! The service was good, typical of a chinese restaurant IYKYK Overall, I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return!
