What covertmann doesn't like about East Ocean Restaurant:
Not bad. Not located in the greatest area though. Buffet was so so... but what would one expect for the price. Slightly cheaper then Ken’s restaurant which is around the corner. View all feedback. What Natasha likes about East Ocean Restaurant:
Food would be a 5.0 to be quite honest depending on what you get. As a regular, I'd get the bbq duck, steamed broccoli, sweet and sour chicken balls (when they're hot they're to die for) and rice enough for 2. Have yet to try their chilli garlic oil.

East Ocean restaurant offers a Chinese buffet that is considered decent, especially given the reasonable price. The location is not the best, but the food is fresh and contains less MSG compared to nearby restaurants. Their spicy peanut noodle soup stands out as a must-try dish. The restaurant is also a popular spot for late-night dining, serving generous portions of tasty food at affordable prices. Customers rave about the shredded duck soup and Szechuan beef dishes for their unique flavors. Takeout orders are also highly recommended, with items like the spicy chicken with orange sauce and crispy chicken with green onion coming out as crowd-pleasers. The restaurant has consistently garnered positive reviews for its first-rate food, attentive service, and reasonable prices. Overall, East Ocean is a solid choice for enjoying Asian cuisine, whether it's for the lunch buffet or regular menu items.

Stopped in for some take out to bring back to the hotel. The restaurant is dated but clean, the food was hot and tasty. No room to complain.
