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. The 1.0 less in rating is due to their lack of delivery service on weekdays - which is a downside for one without a car and too tired to cook after a busy day at work. Cravings unfulfilled.
Went here on a lunch buffet for $7+ and there were quite a few customers in the restaurant. I thought it was worth it and will definitely come back for their menu food items. Not fancy with interior deco. It was actually difficult to find street parking. So, you would have to park on parking lots and spend a couple dollars more for parking fees.
GREAT OIL. DON'T BE FOOLED BY RED BOTTLE ON TABLE, IT'S ACTUALLY VINEGAR. 5-SPICE SQUID IS LIT. TASTES GREAT WITH CHILLI OIL. FUN TO GO WITH FRIENDS SO YOU CAN VALIDATE YOURSELF ON THE NET.
Absolutely love this place. Whenever i have Chinese somewhere else, I always compare to here. Its inexpensive and the owners are super nice. Some of the best ginger beef and 5spice calimari I've ever had!
This restaurant located beside Ken's restaurant, and a lot of people thought they are same as Ken's restaurant. However, I would tell you it is a huge different. Food and veggie are fresher, and less msg. The place is clean, but small. I like their spicy peanut noodle soup. It is awesome, and they are open late too, so therefore, there is the other opinion for people after bar.
The place to go for Chinese food after midnight. The place is simple but clean. Tasty food, generous servings and affordable price. The best tasting chili garlic oil.
I actually really love this place. The area is a little sketchy, but nothing ever happens, and the food is way more than worth it. Good prices huge portions. I'm obsessed with their orange chicken, so far I've mainly has stuff off their schezuan dishes, but I've also had the sweet and sour pork in pineapple sauce, and the beef and gailan(Chinese broccoli?) and chow mein. They were all amazing. I'm pretty picky, but I've enjoyed each dish so far. There's two types of ginger beef here, the fried ginger beef is the best I've ever had ever anywhere, ever. They service is friendly, the wait time is crazy short. You order, talk a bit and begin the feast. Definitely going again, and again.
Overall East Ocean have to be commended for offering authentic Chinese cuisine, something that the majority of Chinese style restaurants here lack. While each dish had some faults and difficulties, the flavours were mostly there and each cooked well enough to be reminiscent of proper authentic Chinese food, and for that, East Ocean should at least deserve a visit.
Crispy Chicken in Green Onion and Ginger Sauce. This sauce is on point. Make sure to soak every bit of chicken in that sauce!

Five Spice Squid. Hands down the best 5spice squid in the city. Perfect every single time.
Great food, cheap price. I originally found this place to order food for an office lunch for my department, we ordered $80 of food for 7 of us, and had enough to feed 20 people. It was all very good too! I also have gone for the lunch buffet, it is small but perfect for lunch, hot and fresh. $7.75 for the eat in lunch buffet and $7.25 for a take out buffet... yes take out buffet!
Local family owned restaurant. Great simple Chinese restaurant. Kept clean, staff are friendly and efficient. Food is fresh and cooked well. Very basic washrooms available for customers. Accepts Cash, debt and credit cards.
The owner is the nicest person in the world! The portions are great sizes and the food comes out hot and quick! We’ve eaten in and had pick up for 20+ people! No concerns at all and the prices are very affordable! I can not recommend this place enough!
It’s been close to a decade since I’ve eaten at this restaurant. In my younger days this place was bustling with the after bar crowd and would go on right till 3-4 in the morning. A lot of memories. Anyhow fast forward 10 years later. Me and a group of old high school friends decided to grab a late night meal and this was the place.
We were all sceptical of the quality. One, we used to come eat here majority of the time half cut. This time we were all hungry and sober. Low and behold end result every dish ordered was a home run. Name of the restaurant remains the same but ownership looked different. Regardless food was amazing.
The BEST chinese food in the city! Never disappoints! Our faves are the deep fried squid, five spice shrimp, pan fried sole and the veal with sweet and sour sauce on the side!
I am not a person who gives reviews but I have been visiting this place and have build a craving to atleast have a Sunday dinner here with friends . It actually worth the food and owners are wonderful, always looking towards the customers concern that’s what a service is . Wish you all the best and I be coming here till I am here in Manitoba .
great! reasonable price with huge portion! service is great too. They open til late which is amazing when I'm craving for late night food. Tasty food! I always eat in and take out what's left because eating in has more portion. :)
Great food and friendly server..i have posted the price menu, so everyone will be aware how much will you be charge...and dont forget to TIP the server when you think someone deserves it...
