East Ocean Dim Sum & Seafood Restaurant

I arrived just after 11:30 am (an hour after they opened) and they only had a handful of items on 2 carts — all cold (as in old). I ordered 2 items off a cart — they were brought to the kitchen and microwaved!!!
This isn’t dim sum, this is left overs.

Great Chinese and dim sum restaurant — so nice to have in Henderson! East Ocean is now my go-​to place for a pleasant Chinese dining experience. Previously I did the trek to some of the places near the strip or in China Town. Now I am Very Happy to have found East Ocean. Everything we have ordered is delicious and the atmosphere is pleasing too.

I really like it here and its my first at this dim sum. Its perfect because its in my neck of the woods. I don’t have to drive all the way to spring mountain. It’s very clean and open spaced. I get that movie theater lobby feel (the way they showcase their main dishes) but its nice. The music is on point! (Songs my aunties and uncles would sing on kareokee, where my Filipinos at!?!) And I mean karerokee style too. No problem here. The food is good, its dim sum! Price I dont know, my boo paid for it.
I will be back!
YUM!

The food was awesome! Exactly what you would expect for classic dim sum. The only reason why I’m giving it 3 stars is because our dining experience was awkward when the whole staff took a break next to our table. I am fully aware that people need to take breaks and eat so I am in no where objecting towards that. It just would have been nice to have our drinks refilled or offer us more selection of food before everyone went on break. Or at least sit a few tables away from is so that their conversation wasn’t louder than ours leaving us in an awkward silence. When we were done we waited a good 15 minutes for our bill, and when it got dropped off we waited another 15 minutes to cash out. It’s a bummer that our experience was so awkward because the food was amazing and it tickled my craving for dim sum.

Run Forest Run!!! Save your money and go to Cathay House or orchid garden in Chinatown. Worst effin dim sum I ever had!!! Their oil was not hot enough so any fried items were greasy. Had fried smelt and before I have tried it the mamasan grabbed it and said let me make it more crispy and took it and fried it again and man was it bitter!!! Told her and all of a sudden she no speaky English. Nasty nasty nasty this is bad Americanized dim sum. A waste of 40 $ for 2. Update: showing signs of food poisoning today that don’t need description. I swear I was stupid not to trust my instincts but if you go after this then you’re dumber than I am because you’ve been warned. Uneffin believeable I’ve eaten all over China, Viet nam, Thailand and the rest of the Asian world and never got sick but come back here and eat here or IHOP and shit my guts out. Effin run from this place!!!

We have been here before and liked it. It was ordering off of menus. We stopped by today to eat and the place was remodeled. It looks better but now it’s dim sum. Which is fine. I liked the verity of choices better than some of the others in China Town. The only complaint I have is that most of everything we ordered was cold. The ladies kept telling us that they will warm up what we ordered. I wonder how they are warming it up? In the microwave? I don’t know but its not something I want to be happening to my food at a restaurant. I could do that at home. I dosent seem as fresh as coming from the pan to the plate and then to me.

Okay I’ll admit the service can come off as rude sometimes but isn’t it kind of expected? Ever dine around Chinatown? Anyway when we come in for dim sum we’re typically satisfied and feeling full after we leave. I think timing is everything though. Depending the time of the day you could miss out on some dishes which I noticed go missing later into the afternoon. With regards to the hit or miss service maybe it’s a cultural thing or a language barrier? Either way it doesn’t bother me and the food is good enough.

Can I give 0 stars! Wow, the service as well as the prices was ridiculous, and beware, if you say something you would get an attitude in return. First and last time here. Bahhhh!!!

I am Chinese. Why does that matter? I know my Chinese food. Sub standard food, but no joke, double the darn price!!! Seriously, this place is so Americanized and expensive. Trust me, save 50% by going to Chinatown.

Very casual Dim Sum place, especially in Henderson. Came here with my family for Thanksgiving. Very good paced. The porridge is a must along with tofu dessert.

A friend and I were craving dim sum after our workout. It is conveniently a couple minutes drive down the street from the Green Valley LVAC on eastern. Location was easy to find. It is in the same parking lot as the the Paul Mitchell School of Beauty, BJs restaurant, and Mosaic Salon. This dim sum restaurant was very clean and appealing go the eye. It has a bar, stage for performances, and a modern twist to its décor. And its huge! The workers were very attentive and always offering what was in their dim sum carts. Their food was delicious and pricing was the typical dim sum pricing from $ 3 to $ 7 per plate. I definitely getting your dim sum fix here!

Worst dim sum I have ever had.
I came here for steamed pork buns and it was soggy. It’s like they microwaved it added too much water then switched it to a steam pan. I could steam WAY better ones in a rice cooker.
Egg tarts, three tiny bites (more like brownie bites), for $ 3.50? Uh???
Turnip cake was alright, but took way too long to come out.
Service sucked, lady spoke english so that was a plus, although I speak mandarin so it doesn’t matter anyway.
She didn’t come back once to check on my food, just brought it over, then gave me the check later.

I ate here recently with a couple of friends. We had some dimsum items from the menu which were average. However, the dishes were splendid. Asparagus with scallops was outstanding! So were the string beans and the sea bass. The veggies were lightly cooked and crisp, and the fish was soft and moist. We will be back!

Average dim sum, terrible service.
I recently had Dim Sum with my boyfriend here a few days ago. It was around 5:30 PM and there was only two other small parties in the restaurant. In short: we got there at 5:30PM and left at 7:00 PM and only got offered their selection one time.
We told the hostess/​waitress we wanted to do Dim Sum right when we sat down. We ordered our drinks and I got my tea relatively fast, but it took them at least 10 minutes to let us know that their soda machine was broken and couldn’t provide my boyfriend a Sprite. That wasn’t a big deal as he just ordered a different drink.
They brought around the dim sum cart ONCE. Literally ONCE. We had gotten a few items off that first round, but NEVER returned. We were NEVER checked up on, never asked if we were okay and never asked if we wanted anything else. At one point, we actually put a timer on to see how long it would be until someone would at least offer up to close our bill.
Basically, an hour and a half of my time, money and appetite was wasted at this place. I don’t think I ever want to return (which is a shame because it’s nearby and they have decent food — if you ever get a chance to be offered something) based on this truly awful experience.
If you’re hungry and expect to be happy from Dim Sum, don’t go here. You’ll end up hungry and irritated.

Went for lunch today, my second time to East Ocean. Overall I like it but there is good and bad here. As soon as you are seated the carts start arriving. Be prepared there are no prices listed for anything, they stamp your card with what you order. Some of the servers speak english and some do not.
Both the fried rice and chow mein dishes we ordered were cold. Everything else we ordered was just warm, nothing hot. The honey walnut shrimp were very good as well as the shrimp shumai, bbq pork buns, pot stickers and shrimp balls. For dessert we had the custard which is so light and delicious. The custard is in a very light and flaky pastry cup. There are lots of choices on the frequently visiting carts so they have something for everyone.
The lady working the front (I assume manager or owner) is very nice and helpful. She was checking on us and all the other customers to make sure they were enjoying everything. If the food was served hot it would definitely be 4 stars.

Went for dim sum this past weekend. Definitely different from the normal «China town» dim sum spots I’ve been too. The restaurant is fairly large so we were seated right away, even though they were actually quite busy. First thing I noticed was how modern and clean the place was, always a plus. The carts came around right away and the selection was great. Wasn’t all the typical dumplings, steamed (3 peices) dishes. There was actually alot I wanted to try but didn’t get the chance to.
Definitely liked the duck, shrimp, egg custard filled and BBQ pork filled buns. I had asked for a particular dish 3 times, they kept saying it would be out but it never came. I finally asked a last time before we left and asked for it to go, didn’t realize till I got home and opened the to go box how tiny the item was compared to other dim sum restaurants. Nonetheless, it was still delicious.
Only downfall was the extremely rude cashier at the end. Good thing our experience with her was super short SNF on our way out.

Perfectly decent dim sum given the location. Yes, it’s far from the best dim sum I’ve ever had, but it’s also not horrendous either. It’s an authentic, if a bit generic, Cantonese experience, and in my case I could communicate with the servers in their own language. That having been said, most speak English just fine, and appear to have a strong rapport with many locals, so if you’re not of Chinese descent, don’t be afraid to be adventurous and ask questions. Just be a bit patient.
Again, while there wasn’t anything particularly memorable about the dim sum, it still does the job, and saves you the drive all the way to the San Gabriel Valley, let alone any other place in the Vegas area that might have better dim sum.

Strange… not sure why this place only has 3 stars. I really enjoyed this place.
We had a group of 10 folks and most of them just got the lunch special which was a very good portion including a soup, eggroll, rice and entrée for $ 8.99.
A friend and I decided to share the Dim Sum. We tried probably 10 items and I liked all 10 of them. He got the lunch special too, but I was full off of the Dim Sum.
I asked everyone if they liked their food and everyone said they did. Again, not sure why such low ratings, but I would definitely come back here again.

Dim sum at a great location! I like their a la carte menu too. I’ve tried other dim sum places, and I think this is the best one in the valley. They have a great variety. I like their chinese broccoli, shrimp and pork dumplings, and noodle in soup with dumplings.
It’s hard to find an authentic chinese restaurant that offers good simple noodle soup (with egg noodles), but this place has it. I’m a fan of their wonton noodle soup. Their wontons are like Sui Kai, which has shrimp and ground pork inside.
Their hong kong crispy chow mein is reasonably portioned (probably good for 3 – 4 people) are a reasonable price. The quality and portions of their food are good.
Their duck is crisp and not fatty! Roast duck at other chinese restaurants are often soggy and very fatty, but the skin of the duck at East Ocean is light and crisp. Also, the meat is very tender.
They offer ginger scallion crab as well. I like the flavor, but it was difficult to eat.
Also what’s new at this place is hot pot. We got the seafood hot pot, and it is plenty for 3 people.

I’m surprised this place is still open. I tried this place for the first time this weekend and I’ve never been soooo disappointed by dim sum. I had been craving some dim sum the whole week and since I was in this area I gave it a shot… a shot on the foot would’ve been a better experience than eating here.
The hostess was too pre-​occupied with shenanigans so we stood around for minutes. The place was dead. Grade B, C and another C on the wall. I wanted to leave but my friend wasn’t willing to go to Chinatown. He has never tried dim sum and it’s very unfortunate to have his cherry popped at a place like this.
We got Cha Siu bao, flat noodles with beef, Hargao, 2 orders of siumai and BBQ pork. Everything was bland. The Hargao and siumai were fishy. The Cha Siu bao and flat noodles completely lacked meat. All dough/​noodles.
I taught my friend a Chinese phrase to describe this place and the food: bu hao! Their BCC grade probably means Beeyotch Can’t Cook! I couldn’t sleep that night due to a terrible stomach ache.
