Editorial Review for Great Eastern – by Seth Lorinczi
In Short
Cut-glass chandeliers and dark wood mingle with plastic signs advertising the multitude of live seafood served here. Oversized menus include photos of the dozens of dishes offered, with a focus on the seafood in giant tanks brimming with Dungeness crabs, giant prawns, lobsters and several varieties of fish. Non-seafood dishes range from Chinese broccoli in a bath of tangy oyster sauce to elaborately braised meats and stir-fry dishes.

This is one of the best restaurants in Chinatown or anywhere else. The food is always fresh. Helpful friendly waiters. It can be very busy at lunch time but always a lot of tables. Always full of families and tourists.
Pros: great food
Cons: none
