Dickson's best Chinese

Great food, great service. The personal touch and the passion of the owner for food adds to the flavour as well. It really is a hidden gem behind the big restaurants of similar kind. PS: Try the LAKSA. You will NOT be disappointed.

As visitors to Canberra who didn't know the city we found this little gem quite by accident, but we were so glad we did. The food was delicious and perfectly spiced. My husband said the hot and sour soup was the best he can remember. Great, friendly service, too!

We discovered this jewel by chance. We were actually meant to go to another restaurant in the area and since we had a bit of time to spare, decided to take a walk and look at all the other restaurants and menus. We discovered ’The East Kitchen’ tucked away in a corner and the five star reviews displayed on the window made me wanna try the place out. Well, it was the best decision ever, the staff were friendly and warm, the food was one of the best Chinese I have had in Canberra. The meats were tender, succulent and flavorful. The vegetables in the food were fresh and crispy and the food servings were generous. I would certainly recommend this gem which is a small family business and still has that personal touch. It is now part of my comfort food list.
