I have lived in San Francisco and now live on Maui. The East Ocean Restaurant offered quality Chinese food at a reasonable price. Try the salt and pepper squid, the Honey Walnut Shrimp or the Kung Pao Chicken. The staff is friendly and service is quick. Good food, nice people, reasonable price! more

The restaurant had potential as far as the interior but the food was mediocre at best and the service was terrible. Staff was more interested in talking to each other than taking care of guests. We waited forever to be greeted, served, and given a check. Waste of money and time. more

This restaurant looks expensive, but it is very reasonable. Most main dishes are $10 with very generous portions. There is NO MSG used in the food. We visit here every year when we vacation in Maui. I like to eat light so I order the white chicken with vegetables-very fresh and filling. My son is vegan and likes the tofu... more

Fairly priced with excellent service. Food was mediocre, a bit greasy and not very flavorful. Worse than restaurant Chinese food at home. More akin to inexpensive carry out class. more

My wife and I went there on June 11, 2009. We split an order of pineapple and crab meat fried rice. The dish was really good. It didn't even need any soy sauce. We also ordered the pot sticker appetizer. They were good too. This is the only chinese food I've had on Maui thus far. I would go again.... more

We were staying at the Mana Kai hotel down the street so the location was close. We went for lunch early on in our vacation and decided to return for 1 more lunch. We (2 of us) passed on the lunch buffet, which was small. We decided instead to order dishes off the menu. We got mushu shrimp and orange... more

My husband and I enjoy frequenting East Ocean. We usually order the spinach and garlic, fried chicken wings, spicy beans and pork and/or house noodles. My mouth is watering just thinking about their delicious food. The drive to East Ocean is about 30-40 minutes from our house, but we don't mind. The food quality and friendly service is worth it.... more

We just got back from Maui two days ago and on the first night of our stay , we wanted to grab a late dinner. My wife and I craved for something soupy so we headed here and tried the Wonton Soup and Peking Duck Noodles. Both were good for the price. Soup broth was tasty although the wonton was... more

Prices were reasonable ($10-20/entree) and I really liked the atmosphere - large, clean, and lovely decor. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly, and we both enjoyed our entrees (satay beef - yum! - and roast duck - nice and crispy, large serving). We must have arrived late (around 9pm) as the restaurant was empty and the staff was eating... more

What else is there to say? Well, the steamed whole fish was so good that we plan to go back for more before we leave, and are looking forward to trying some of their other dishes. more
