East Ocean City Restaurant Review

When the elapsed time between the final swim of a fish and your first bite of it is as little as fifteen minutes, there isn't much a cook needs to do to produce an impressive meal. But that's a double-edged sword: simple, well-cooked food is some of the hardest to execute. East Ocean City lives and dies (or should we say dives?) by these principles. Sure, you will encounter all of the...

"Fantastic seafood" "fresh" "out of the tank" is the lure that makes this Chinatown Cantonese a longtime stop for "excellent" chow at a relatively "cheap" price; while it's "not fine dining", cognoscenti "come for the food, not the service" or "casual" decor.

Don't get too attached to the inhabitants of the fish tanks here -- they might turn up on your plate. Tanks make up one wall of the high-ceilinged space, decorated with lots of glass and other hard surfaces that make it rather noisy. The comprehensive menu offers a huge range of dishes, but, as the name indicates, seafood is the focus. It's fresh, delicious, and carefully prepared. One...

Seafood so impeccably fresh, diners can literally watch it travel via rubber bucket from fish tank to wok.

This is by far the best Chinese/seafood restaurant I've ever been. We were on a business trip with 40 of us so we ordered everything. My favorite dish was the garlic sautéed crab. So good in...

The popular places in Chinatown fill up fast. Okay that's pretty obvious but you know what I mean... I live close by so search for somewhere reliable, clean, friendly when I don't feel up for...

I didn't realize Boston's Chinatown was so small (but at least, bigger than DC's!). While I'm not too familiar with the Chinatown scene, I thought this was a decent place for a get together. The...

Genuine Chinese cuisines!The place is nicely lit, pretty crowded, tolerably noisy and spacious. Our Chinese colleagues helped us to decide the menu to the perfection. The food was very good. Although we went little overboard with our orders and struggled to finish the dishes.The whole array of dishes included beef, lobsters, crab, chicken and tofu. It was an overwhelming experience with a very...

Both a top-notch destination for Chinese and a great seafood restaurant. Vast array of fish and shellfish can be chosen, still alive, from in-house tanks. Hard to go wrong with the specials menu or their Peking duck.
