More expensive than its neighbors, the Great Eastern Restaurant is nonetheless worth a visit for its kitschy, gilded setting and its wonderful dim sum prepared at lunchtime. This Cantonese restaurant used to have a reputation as one of the best Chinese restaurants in San Francisco. Unfortunately, it has lost some of its former quality. Don't expect fancy service; the waiters are pretty gruff. But don't take offense - it's part of the charm! For the record, President Obama once dined here.

I ate here and had food poisoning some hours later. Also, they automatically included a tip in the bill, which decreases stars for service.

Food was ok. The dishes didn't come at the same time, the service ignored us. They automatically add 15% tip to the bill.

Big place, went here late night and there was plenty of seating available. Dim sum took a while to serve but they were making fresh. Food was good but flavors were a little muted. Regular dishes were personal sized, not big enough for sharing.

The pork buns are delicious. They give a good amount of food for the price. My daughter had shrimp and scallops with asparagus and she loved it. We really liked the dim sum and ended up with two orders of the pork buns and soup dumplings.
