Welcome to East Ocean Restaurant

East Ocean Chinese Restaurant: In a nutshell, dissappointed. The a la carte food was pretty average, though some of the live fish dishes (which we did not order) looked excellent. I returned the following night (because it was the only yum cha open at midnight) for yum cha, which was excellent, though one of my scallop dumplings was full of broken bits of shell, which kind of ruined the whole experience again. Service was also rather disgraceful. They must be given some credit though: for getting our order right on both occasions.

A la carte:
Roasted BBQ duck: OK, but lots of bones and less than perfect meat and skin.


Salt and Pepper Calamari: Coated in a heavy batter which made it difficult to really taste and enjoy.


Chicken with broccoli: Once again fine, but nothing exciting.


Yum Cha: Good quality and good value - much better food quality than anything I have experienced in Melbourne

Scallop Dumplings: The best thing I tried and the worst. Wonderful freshness, though a mouth full of crushed scallop shell is not a nice experience.


Prawn Dumplings:


Pork Dumplings:



Pork buns: Light and fluffy with real chunks of meat.
