Great Eastern Restaurant, San Francisco, California Restaurant Details

Food:

They where rude. There where flies everywhere. They forgot my main course of my order and they did not care that they forgot it. Horrible service. I felt bad for the people walking in.

Food:

A wow in Chinatown! The dim-sum was to die for as well as the beef short ribs with honey and pepper sauce. Had about a 20 minute wait but worth it. Service was good as well. Lots to choose from and whatever they served my wife and me was exceptional.

Food:

Whenever my family and I travel, we judge the restaurant based on how full it is before we enter. The restaurant was packed and we decided it was worth a 5-10 minute wait. Overall, the service was moderate at best. The food was mediocre. Coming from someone who has eaten asian food all his life, I recommend finding a better place. Also the price is kind of expensive for the lack of flavor in the food. The seafood is all market price.

Food:

Don't get pulled into this over priced, poorly staffed tourist trap. When I dined here I was given a hard cold standard sized bowl of rice I didn't order. I assumed there would be some cost for the rice but $8.50?! And the rice was suspiciously not priced on the menu. The two dim-sum dishes were cold and the beef was incredibly fatty. Waiters will not talk to you either from rudeness or a language gap but then had the audacity to stop me and my girlfriend from leaving and tell us the tip is not included. The manager also glared at us as we left. First time I haven't tipped ever. This place is a disaster. Stay away unless you like being confused about how to order, dishes randomly dropped on your table, and no communication from staff until they want your money.

Food:

If I could only give 0 stars. The waiter was oddly racist, I'm white by the way so I guess I'm not used to the feeling. He only brought us the menu and then the check when our meal was over, which lasted roughly 30 minutes. We ordered 8 dim sum dishes in our party. Two off which tasted exactly like vomit. When I did receive the check I tipped adequately for our party of four, considering the lack of service and rudeness, but I still offered something because I can understand the hectic nature of food service. Our waiter publicly asked me why the tip was so low. To answer him, "you did three things, you brought us the menu, you were extremely rude, then you brought us the check." He then began to speak in what I would assume was Mandarin and my party and I left. This was by far the worst service I have ever endured and probably don't think I'll ever encounter again. Yes, Obama went here, but do you think his service is comparable to the every day consumer?

Food:

"Skip the chow mein and get the real goodies" at this Chinese option in the heart of Chinatown – like "wonderful seafood" selected from "big tanks" and, during the day, "superb" dim sum (order it from the "brisk" waiters, since there are "no carts"); yes, it's "crowded" and the decor is "minimal", but prices are "fair" considering the "high quality."
