Dickson's best Chinese

Coming from Melbourne, I was looking for a good restaurant to eat in Canberra and discovered The East Kitchen. The lady was very friendly and nice to us. We had a great conversation and service was excellent. No need to mention how the food was. Big portion, value for money, very tasty and delicious. We really enjoyed the dinner there. They were about to close but they waited for us until we finished eating. Will definitely go back to the restaurant when we come to Canberra again. Continue prospering in the business, you deserve it..❤️

Great authentic Cantonese cuisine! The unassuming decor and size of this restaurant might fall under the radar of many diners but we had a great meal here. My family of 3 enjoyed it lots. The spring roll starter was well cooked and crispy. We also had fried rice which had lots of meat and vegetables, and a plate of stir fried mixed vegetables with cashew nuts which was cooked perfectly with both crunchy and soft textures and the sauce was delicate and not overly salty or oily. The sizzling Szechuan pepper chicken was a great balance of peppery goodness with a rich sauce. Overall great meal and friendly service, despite the slightly long waiting time as there seemed to be only one wait staff and one chef. Regardless, we'll definitely return 👍

Great casual place for dinner. Visiting my daughter at ANU she wanted Chinese food because it is her favorite. Meals were excellent, and priced around $16 each, so good value. Serving size is very good. We had Satay sticks for starters and they were the best we've had ever. They sit on a base of delicious honey (I think) sauce and had the satay sauce on the side. Yum. The restaurant was nice and warm inside and it was lovely service. What a great place for the Canberra uni students to go. No need to get dressed up and cheap food.
