East Garden Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Orlando

3/3/24: Came to dine in with my two little foodies. I have to give them five stars rating. Superb customer service! My little man fell asleep in my arm the whole time. The server was so sweet. She tried to communicate to me in Chinese but I didn't understand a word she said. 😂 But she gestured to help me serve the hot food into the bowls and dishes for my daughter and me since my little man was in a deep sleep in my arms. I recommend the Beef Chow Fun with extra wide rice flat noodle stir fry with very tender beef. I requested no bean sprout and the kids love it. I recommend the há cảo. It has thin skin and well seasoned shrimp filling. Not too salty like some place makes it. I love the Eight Treasures clay pot. It has 8 proteins including tender chicken breast, beef, shrimp, scallop, calamari, cubed fried soft tofu, and shittake mushrooms with a brown flavorful sauce. I also recommend the Crab and Fishmaw Soup.

9/3/22: I came for lunch with a party of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids). My friend from Melbourne wanted to try this restaurant.

Pros: Friendly superb customer service Clean and cozy interior design and layout Highly recommend the Stir Fry Water Spinach and Clams with Black Bean Sauce

We ordered the following: Dim sum items: Fried shrimp balls - our two families of three generations all thought the fried shrimp balls were on the salty side of the scale. The other items were okay, nothing stands out. Both families prefer Ha Long Bay dim sum over this place. My kids love hac cao but they didn't like this version here. Shrimp paste is on the salty side.

Stir fry water spinach - the grownups all enjoyed and recommend this dish.

Stir fry flat noodle with beef - It was okay, the sauce didn't stand out, has a strong soy sauce flavor. Noodle was cooked just right for the kids to enjoy.

Lobster with ginger scallion sauce - lobster meat was very airy and light. Just not the season for good meaty lobster. Kirin's Court in Plano, TX still makes it a lot better for me.

Clams with Black Bean Sauce - Clams tasted fresh and the sauce has a well balance taste of sweetness and saltiness. All the adults love it! I highly recommend this if you like clams. I wanted to take the leftover sauce home but my friend's dad ate it all with steamed rice. Hahaha!

Overall, it's a restaurant...

East Garden is so so good! We have been wanting to try this place for a long time and after trying many other authentic Chinese restaurants in the Orlando area, this is easily one of the best! This is the ONLY Chinese restaurant I’ve been to in Orlando where I can say we received exceptional service - with a great atmosphere and the awesome service, this would be a perfect place for a date or special occasion if you’re craving real Chinese food and dim sum!

We took a lot of recommendations from our waitress, including fried shrimp balls, shrimp stuffed eggplant, shredded beef w/ black pepper, salt and pepper shrimp, and roast pork rice paste. Everything was excellent! The food came out in a timely manner, everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were so good. We especially loved the salt and pepper shrimp and roast pork rice paste! We can definitely see more shrimp and pork dishes being even better than the ones we got. We need to come back a LOT more to try many more things from their menu - they have a big menu, so many amazing options, so be sure to come with a bigger group so you can try a lot of different stuff. They specialize in the dim sum so get some of those to share! And also don’t forget to use a little of their chili sauce to add some spice to dishes - it makes them even better! Awesome service, awesome food, and an awesome...

My husband and I went there on a whim last night and we will definately be going back. We were on the search for a vegan friendly restaurant and the food was amazing! When we entered, it was gorgeous inside, very chic! There is a huge vegetable menu and the staff was very knowledgeable about the ingredients so we knew was to order. We got the hot and spicy shredded potatoes and it was insanely delicious and the portion size was HUGE! My husband ordered the Stir-fried with Fresh Chinese Yam and Fungus with Snow Peas and while it was somewhat expensive, we are foodies and the mushrooms they used were so fresh and exotic as well as the Chinese yam! The portion was gigantic and I attribute it to most people don't order much vegetable dishes (good...more for us and our vegan friends :) ). They had a homemade spicy chili sauce that was also amazing too. I can't wait to go back! I took a bunch of to-go menus...
