East Ocean Palace Restaurant

To say that the lobby is grand and impressive is an understatment. The lobby actually shames most hotels. The chandelier, high ceiling, decorations... everything just makes you feel you are an important person. We have been here before to attend a wedding and a birthday party. Last week, we were here again for a private dinner. We booked a function room at the second floor just across the grand staircase. As for the food, we ate roasted suckling pig, suahe, truffle soup, Peking duck two ways, fried pigeon, steamed lapu lapu and birthday noodles. The suckling pig meat was tender and flavorful while the skin was crispy. You can also eat it as a sandwich using the steamed mantou. Another highlight in my opinion was the truffle soup. It's a bit oily but the truffle flavor was rich and strong. The taste and plating of the fried pigeon and lapu lapu were similar to other big name Chinese restaurants. Given that we have 6 toddlers with us, the waiters were very patient and understanding. I highly recommend getting a function room here for private events, you won't regret it. One watch out, parking is limited at the basement.

This was our family’s party, and unfortunately the overall experience did not meet expectations. The birthday noodles were bland. The lapu lapu had a strong fishy smell and taste. The shark’s fin soup was too watery, overly loaded with seafood, and had a strange, fishy, unbalanced flavor. The taro curry puff had a sharp, tangy aftertaste that was unpleasant. Service was also an issue. The waiter, Jasmine, seemed not properly trained. Despite having two vacant chairs, the food was repeatedly served from the side where the kids were seated, which made things uncomfortable and inconvenient. On a positive note, the pigeon was good juicy and well cooked. The crab rice and malayko were okay but not memorable. The dessert was too bland. Overall, aside from one dish, the food and service were disappointing for a family celebration.

This place dont miss. The food was delicious. I came here for an event and enjoyed every single dish. I didn't get to take a photo but the fried baby pigeon was one of the best I had. In comparison to the food in hongkong this place levels with them. I would definetly recommend dining here Service was a bit slow.

An elegant Chinese restaurant set against a luxurious backdrop - perfect for intimate family gatherings or special celebrations.

Really tasty and delicious food in a beautiful, grand setting. We got the full orders of Suckling Pig and Duck two ways, plus small portions of some of their popular dishes to try more stuff. The restaurant has its own building with parking, function rooms, and a big main dining hall where we ate. Great spot for special meals or family gatherings. ❤️

I'll be there at least 15 times between 2017 and 2026. The food is awful! But now it's popular to hold wedding banquets at East Sea Palace

The food here was flat-out whack. Spent mad cash on that whole roast goose, thinking it’d be HK-quality superb, but nah—it was salty as hell, killing any real flavor. My tip is that this rip-off should never be ordered. While the pitik was perfectly cooked, the accompanying noodles in superior sauce was anything but; like they forgot the seasoning or something. The claypot abalone rice was delicious but was definitely no better than even second-tiered Chinese restos. Lastly, really East Ocean — an establishment with a top reputation like yours serving this size of crabs? Whole lauriat in general was a letdown.

Expensive but delicious — the type of place I’d be excited to be invited to for a free meal but not somewhere I’d return to on my own. We had some dimsum (the lechon kawali oh my), chicken bamboo soup, lobster noodles, lobster in garlic, steamed fish, sweet and sour pork (usually not a fan but wow I couldn’t stop myself from reaching for seconds), sautéed beef, fried rice (yesss), and buchi. I thoroughly enjoyed each dish. I wish I actually had a second stomach for this meal. Nothing about this place is mid. The food, the service, the grand stand alone building. I’ll definitely be returning. But only if my rich uncle is paying.

As the name says, it is a PALACE! The entirety of the building is a restaurant catering to different functions on every floor - private rooms, wedding banquets , conventions or casual dining. The interior is elegantly designed. Service is top notch too. Endless "THANKS" from the servers and manger alike. Food is very authentic! I can say this might be one of the best Chinese restaurant in Manila with a reasonable price.

If your looking for an authentic Chinese meal and private event space then this is the location you should be at! Hands down the best event and private dinning space in metro Manila. Perfect for conferences, weddings or any event! The staff and food are exceptional and the space is above the competition.

The best Chinese/Cantonese restaurant in the Metro. They can also accommodate big events such as Weddings, Birthdays and so on. Eating here is like eating in Hong Kong, will definitely come back here.
