Review Easy East - Burwood

Nihao MA! Food was delicious, small place and good for small party. Fancy food and service was absolute awesomeness.

Very nice Cantonese food, the duck was outstanding.

Ate during the week for four people. Three special menu items were not available, some others had to be ordered the day before. Ordered five 'normal' dishes plus fried rice. Only one dish was reasonably good, the other 4 were below par for the prices. I cannot see how this restaurant is this highly rated. It is expensive and the food is not that good. There are much better alternatives at this price level.

We have 2kg lobster ,super fresh and yummy!

Good Cantonese restaurant. It's catered more towards families and is a bit weathered, however the cooking and service in the place is good. It's good for their soup, which you might have to order in advance and their dishes are full of flavour without being too salty or sweet.

Good food. But on the expensive side.

very ok , kids happy

Very simple restaurant. Excellent braised duck. Need to pre order. Definitely returning to try other dishes

What a lovely small family restaurant! We went here after finding the restaurant on Zomato and decided to check it out because of its high rating.<br/><br/>The restaurant is small and very welcoming. We had the banquet and there was so much food! All the food was very well made and tasty.<br/><br/>What I loved most is the generous and friendly service we received here. We definitely will be back!

Love the food at Easy East! Have eaten here a few times as well as recommended it to friends who’ve enjoyed the experience and spread the word themselves. Fresh ingredients and some seasonal specials (some of which you’d have to enquire about and order ahead of your booking to secure the limited dish) and the dishes are always packed with flavour. One of my reasons for returning is their Toothfish which besides being simple but delicious in how it’s prepared, in itself is a dish I find rare and hard to come by in asian restaurants. Not cheap and the portion is small but very yummy. <br/><br/>One might consider the menu as not big (I reckon it’s reasonable) and the prices as expensive but I believe it’s justified as the taste that comes from the food is proof in the pudding to me. The tasting evokes impressions that the chef has put a lot of thought into - sourcing the ingredients to ensure freshness, the menu offering and the food prep. To me the food may sometimes taste like simple home cooking, but yet I know and appreciate that it is definitively and uniquely artistic in the chemistry of how it was put together that is the signature of Easy East’s kitchen. <br/><br/>The place is not a big place but it is always packed and parking can be a problem, so make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment and rock up on time to hopefully secure a parking spot up front.

Average food. Far too expensive. I can’t think of 125 more characters to summarise my experience. Just that there’s a lot of other, great, authentic and affordable Chinese restaurants in the area and surrounds.

Went for dinner with a big group of friends. We had a great night the food was really lovely. Staff were very nice. Will definitely go back.

Good service! The place is best for groups or families as they have big tables. FRESH food but not many options. I wish they had Dumplings 🌟 Would still come back though!

Ordered 6 dishes. Good food. Nicely done. Prices are in the mid range, not as competitive as similar restaurants in Boxhill. Good service. Would come back.

Had the fried fish in spicy salt, braised pork belly with preserved veg and the hairy melon. All very good. I was surprised as this is a small suburban place but it is a really nice spot.

One of the worst Chinese restaurant! I m warning all my friends not to go, it's not worth it at all... Super bad service, they offer fruit to everyone but not us, when we ask.. The gal was not answer reply with such a bad attitude say ok, give us some left over (who knows where from, prob decor) orange pieces, my photos was making it thick but it's so thin the fork couldn't pick up....<br/><br/>A lot of dish out of orders so we have to rethink what to do order, the waitress wasn't happy! I told them I m allergy to seafood but the first dish we order, she didn't even tell us it has fish! What the H! I didn't expect best service but certainly not expect insult! <br/><br/>Never ever go back.....n as my favor to u m... Pls don't go!

A lovely place for a great coffee, nice place and friendly atmosphere . Had my breakfast and it good. Ken is a great barista and makes awesome coffee.

Staff are very rude and talk among themselves neglecting the needs of dinners. They even sent one of the male dinner to warn me rudely for parking close to their main entrance. Our parking was perfectly legal. <br/>Food wise is average for the price we paid for. It's nothing to shout about. We can get similar dishes in most other Chinese restaurants.

Overall: good value for money. Authentic Cantonese cuisine. Refined food. Comfortable and baby friendly. <br/><br/>Definitely one of the most satisfying discovery in my Melbourne food journey. This little restaurant is consist of no more than 5 tables, isolated in an area not known for any decent food. This means there are hardly any activities around it in the evening. For it to be always full, it tells you half the story of how good they are. <br/><br/>I have been here many times with my wife. It is our GoTo place whenever we desire a fine Cantonese cuisine without checking our bank account balance beforehand. Overall, I like almost every dishes served here especially the braised pork belly with preserved vegetable, Chinese steak and steamed yam with pork slices. <br/><br/>This is also one of the few places that makes a decent steamed "Sun Hock" Fish. Unfortunately they don't have supply for larger Sun Hock (2-4kg) which will give a better texture and seafood sweetness.<br/><br/>Foodie Tip: Ask the waitress to recommend selection, it may result in pleasant surprises of excellent dishes not listed in the menu.Nelly Law

Excellent Cantonese cuisine cooked with love and high quality ingredients. Impeccable friendly service and cozy ambience.. Kids friendly too. Highly recommended and big thumbs up. You need to preorder certain dishes such as stuffed duck, crab noodles, snow fish etc to avoid disappointment. Home made dessert red bean soup is yum!

Being grown up in HK ever since I've moved to Aus I have always craved for authentic HK dishes. This is the place to be. Its owned by HKese, dishes remind me of restaurants back home, I dont think they have used MSG, can tell from their welcoming soup. Dishes are yummy and special, it is close to homemade authentic HK dishes. Love it.

Stef. Very disappointing!!! The place is so tiny and smelly, very unpleasant. The food presentation and taste were even more disappointing.

Surprisingly good. Had dinner here on a Sunday night and was very impressed. Perhaps because it wasn't overly busy, our service was very friendly and attentive. More importantly, the food was excellent. With the exception of the overcooked green beans, everything was of very high quality and serving sizes were no smaller than expected. Will be back to try the 8 Treasures duck!

The worst (almost)dining experience!!!. We made a booking for six people and on arrival we were ushered to our table. This was as good as it got!! we were completely ignored despite repeated attempts to get service. When the old battle axe of a waitress turned up she rudely asked if we were having drinks. we ordered tea and then were ignored yet again for awhile. After getting a different waiter we ordered our food. Then the waitress came and asked to move as they wanted to add another table. After being squashed like sardines and not being able to move anymore we were chastised for not making a booking although we had done so and also despite the fact that we were given a table! worse was to come.......we were asked to move yet again to accommodate another table!!! This was the last straw. we walked out and suggested to the waitress that they use our table instead as they did not seem to want us there anyway!!! needless to say we never tasted their food.

Pleasant Surprised !. Went there first time tonight very surprise with the quality cooking and fresh seafood <br/>The dinning room is a bit small and tight but the good dishes made it all worth it<br/>Will definitely go back

Reasonable service and food but serves are tiny and therefore overpriced. We had dim sum, spring rolls, an entre of BBQ pork tenderloin, steamed rice and Cantonese beef between 2 ppl at $55 and left hungry. If that had been about $35-40 I would rate highly, but at the price I'd say try Box Hilĺ or Glen Waverley. 6/10.

Great place!. Different from the usual Chinese eatery in boxhill or glen waverley.<br/>They have dishes that are not served by the other typical restaurants.<br/>Owners/chef are accomodating and you can actually order specific dishes which are not on the menu.<br/>Price is reasonable too.<br/><br/>Will definitely go back.

Will have to try dinner here. They have lunch specials for Friday and Saturday good quality food and very reasonable prices

Great local restaurant. This is a tiny restaurant that is easy to drive by and not notice. Because of its size, bookings are essential. <br/><br/>Easy East serves up home style Cantonese cooking in a no-frills restaurant. The grumpy waitress mentioned by the others has retired, and the front-of-house is usually done by the owner's wife who is pleasant enough. <br/><br/>The food is consistent and well-cooked. Our favourites are the 8 Treasure Duck - a truly spectacular dish which is really well executed here. We also like the Dao Miu (bean shoot sprouts fried with garlic), the Patagonian Toothfish (both steamed and fried), and the pork belly and yam. I can not list all our favourites here, but nearly everything on the menu is done well. <br/><br/>Downsides - food might be a little underseasoned, probably because they don't use MSG.

Easy East - Chinese. Great delicious food for extended family dinners. However the downside is the slow service. But worth the wait.

Quality Choice. Salted prawn were amazing, as was everything else!<br/>Very very tasty!

Average. Not bad, but not great. The lemon chicken was so-so, veggies were pretty good, but the steamed rice tasted like it had been in the rice cooker most of the afternoon. We'll be trying some of the other local Chinese takeaway places before we consider coming back to Easy East.

If you can look pass the gruff service, this place does a really good 8 Treasures duck. Enjoyed the Mandarin pork ribs and garlic prawns too. $25pp

Don't let the small size or unimposing feel of this restaurant put you off. If you want to try authentic, quality Chinese food then give this place a try. Not sure if there's a menu. We had a 5 or 6 course banquet organised by a friend and other tables looked to get the same courses. Each one blew us away, from the de-boned stuffed duck, to the crispy chicken, pork belly and prawns. All very inpressive, tasty and certainly authentic

This is a great little Resturant, set back from the street in a spot your likely to overlook. The food is fantastic, great flavor and beautifully presented. The food is consistent every time. A classy Chinese. meal. The banquets are great value.
