East Ocean Restaurant

A fine dining dim sum experience.
Decent dim sum is everywhere in HK, literally everywhere! However, I would like to make special mention of East Ocean in Wan Chai, where the food is excellent.
The dim sum is tasty and well made, it’s just that higher level of quality. Highlights include the har gau prawn dumpling, cha siu roast pork rice rolls, and the glutinous rice wraps. All of these had lots of filling — the best bit, and little wrapping — the not so good bit! Dishes were a little more than a «local» joint at 45HKD each, but the higher cost is well worth the higher quality.
However, in my mind, what really makes this place that step up is the cleanliness of the toilets. Usually in these restaurants, that dining room is great, but the toilets are no more than a bucket in an alleyway. This place has very nicely decked out bathrooms, that are also very clean. The rest of the restaurant is spacious and presentable. Try and get a table with views over the harbour.
The staff are also pretty good for a dim sum place. They glide with grace and ease, and speak reasonable English, unlike some of their shouty counterparts on other restaurants. They also don’t insist on doubling up tables, and have a good number of tables for four or less, so you don’t have to eat with a stranger who can’t chew without showing you his tonsils.
