    We have been to East many times and it never fails to impress us and our guests. The staff especially James and Kim are exceptional. We love being there for the food which is always well presented and the portions generous. Tass Atgemis

    The location, the food, and the staff all made our evening memorable. Our guests were important visiting academics from Beijing who were impressed and overjoyed with the opportunity to dine on the delicious food while enjoying iconic views. Thank you!

    Great spot and excellent food, a bit expensive, could be more atmosphere inside , say asome nce music. It was our 35th wedding anniversary - no acknowledgement or a little gift, say a glass of wine or just jasmine tea.

    Best Chinese in Sydney and they treat us special and gave us the best table outside on the corner for a lovely balmy evening for dinner.

    My husband and I dined here while in Sydney. The menu had many items from which to choose. Food was served too quickly. The tap water was vile. The portion of Toothfish wasn’t enough for my husband. We sat outside which was very nice - not too chilly in the evening.

    Very goof food in a nicely presented and clean restaurant but quite noisy and if seated at the inside tables there is no view. You therefore pay top price without the advantages.
