Loved this place. Use to be my go to. The restaurant is closed permanently. The owners retired and the new owners plan to open a Chinese buffet in it's place. read more

This restaurant has been around a long time, if you are looking for a tried and true Chinese restaurant in Staten Island that serves cocktails, this is a decent option. The decor has not been updated in a long time but it doesn't look it's age either. It's clean Asian themed decor. Service is efficient, not particularly warm but not bad. I ventured outside my normal choice and I won't be doing that again. My usual go to is the egg rolls, pineapple fried rice and I add shrimp for my drink I ask for pineapple juice and coconut rum. This time I ordered pan fried noodles with seafood and the frozen mango margarita. I was disappointed, the dish lacked the flavor I was expecting and so did the cocktail. My husband had our usual and he was very happy, our friends had the chicken pad Thai and mango mojito and they were also very happy. Next time, I'm going back to my usual order lol. read more

Meh. Went with a classic combo sesame chicken, pork fried rice, and an eggroll. Yes the food was delivered hot but it lacked flavor. This is a staple Chinese restaurant that's been around for a while and honestly the food tasted no better than any old takeout. read more

East Pacific Restaurant - Sesame Chicken Combo - Pan Asian Near Me - Staten Island, New York

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner one night and also dim sum on a Saturday morning! The staff was so excited to see us and enthusiastically sat us down, which was really nice. I was surprised to find that they offered authentic cantonese food, which is difficult to have in the area. For dinner we ordered the scallion pancakes, beef chow fun, and sesame chicken. As a big fan of scallion pancakes, they lived up to my expectations and had enough scallion flavor, but could be crispier. The portion of the beef chow fun was extremely large and I ended up having leftovers for several days. I really enjoyed the beef chow fun and it tasted very authentic, although it was a bit oily for my liking. My only complaint was that the food took over half an hour to come out, which was a bit irritating as there seemed to be very few other guests dining at the time. The dim sum was also very enjoyable and they had a very wide selection. I would recommend going with someone who knows how to speak and understand Chinese though, as some of the staff only speak Chinese. The restaurant was surprisingly packed and popular around Sunday morning, which goes to show that it's pretty well known for dimsum. Overall, I will definitely be back to East Pacific if i'm looking for authentic canto food on the island! read more

Worst service gave us paper cups??? Even though everyone else was getting by glass cups

Went here for a late lunch / early dinner. We had the spicy dumplings as an appetizer and for our main courses my wife had Pad Thai, and I had Thai String Beans with Chicken. We both enjoyed our entrees very much. The string beans were cooked well and delicious. My only disappointment was the dumplings. They were flavored very well, but were what I like to call "Staten Island Dumplings" in that they were way too heavy with a thick wrapper. I prefer the thin wrapper, softer type of dumpling. Service was adequate but otherwise unremarkable. We will eat here again. read more

Food - Chinese food with regular staples like Peking duck, General Tsao chicken, pork chop (yummy), noodles, fried rice, and a whole slew more Service - it was good but just attentive enough in my opinion. They may fly by sometimes but be ready to flag them down if you need something. Ambiance - pretty big place that has a lot of seating so you could definitely bring you family to order family style dishes. The restaurant is part of the mall so there are two entrances by each other. One inside the mall while the other is accessible outside. Verdict - I was either really hungry or this place was pretty good. I am thinking it's the latter so I'd recommend this place if you are in the area or while in Staten Island read more

8.25.24 @6:44pm Sunday Walk-in for a table of 4. Everyone is friendly. Just an ordinary Cantonese food. Taste is not as good as others but have a lot of options. A place to go if don't want to drive out of town. read more

My new favorite authentic Chinese spot! I've gone to this location and it's always busy but quick at getting your food and always delicious!!! I'm not a fan of restaurants at all mall but this place pleasantly surprised me and easy to get in and out as it's not in the mall. I'll post pictures next time I get a chance. Try the Mei fun noodles with chicken or veggies and pork fried rice is always great. Too much to list but haven't had one bad meal read more

I forget about this place. I don't go to the SI Mall often. The service is good. The sushi is really good here. I need to eat in some time, I usually do take out. I love that they still add fish roe to some of their rolls. So many restaurants don't anymore. I really enjoyed the Shrimp Tempura Roll I ordered and it had the fish roe. Very tasty and filling too. I could barely eat it all. I'll have to stop there again soon. read more

Food was tasty and good. they use to have roast duck, but some customer was intimidated by it. The service was efficient and accommodating. The place has good decor and ample space read more

So exciting we didn't have to go to Bklyn or Manhattan for Cantonese food. We finally have authentic rice plates (roast pork, bbq pork, soy chicken etc). For my roast pork dish (pic not avail) I needed a tiny bit more rice and a little less sauce but overall crispy skin and yummy! Also tried their dim sum pretty good! Place has gotten pretty busy. Service is okay same as other dim sum places. And fyi hh is at bar only (not at table, I learned the hard way). read more

I didn't realize they served dim sum items close to my house. Then when I did realize I proceeded to order roughly three days worth of food. Yep. The restaurant hopefully provided me with 4 sets of chopsticks, but nope, all me. What I ordered: the eggplant shrimp, ha churng fan, scallion and shrimp dumplings, pork bun, sesame ball, beef spare ribs, and fish ball. I haven't been out for dim sum since before pandemic times. To say this stuff hit the spot is an understatement. I told hubby that once I make my big money (haha never) I'm going to go feast on dim sum before a grand shopping spree. Ok, I'm off to play the lottery, enjoy the dim sum everyone. read more

One of my favorite dim sum and lunch place on the island. There's not that many authentic Cantonese style restaurants on the island but this one does not disappoint. Lots of local come here to indulge in tripes, chicken feet, intestines but they also have your standard pork shumai, shrimp dumplings, etc. my coworkers love coming here for their chicken terriyaki entree and I always enjoy a beef stew hor fun noodle soup! read more

The ambiance is very soothing on the week day after 6 pm. During the weekend it's a bit busy as expected. The food is delicious! That explains the second visit in less than a week. I had the seafood casserole on my second visit. My left over take home food was far better than what I ate while I was there. This could have been because the dish was very hot perhaps the flavors did not have settled until the next day. In any event the dish was delicious!! On Saturday, my first visit with two friends. One of which raves about the restaurant. I ordered the sizzling vegetables with Shrimp and a size of brown rice ... also very good . I will definitely go back to try the snapper , the honey ribs, and so much more interesting dishes . Con: The woman server was not pleasant at all despite us all trying to get along and make the best at her rude behavior.. such as reaching over us, dropping the plates down aggressively, nonverbal directions to take the plate from her hand. We were seconds from calling the manager. I think I returned to the restaurant alone to see if the service was an isolated case and also to try another dish. Although, I was sat in the exact same table as with my friends prior. The server was better not great but better. Perhaps better customer service would have granted them 5 stars instead of four... try it for yourself, you will not be disappointed with the food or the ambiance. read more

Great service food was so good egg friend rice was awesome and the snapper huge yummy. Andy was great such a cool guy:) Scallion pancakes is a must try read more

Everything! Prompt delivery, lots of noodles for the soup. Large portions. Yummy egg rolls too.

On a recent visit, with 2 friends there was a birthday celebration taking place in the reserved area of the restaurant. All of a sudden several staff members came out with two giant, live, crabs; each had to have weighed about 8 to 10 pounds and between 14 to16 inches in diameter and costing $1,600, which we were told after questioning one of the staff members about the abuse. The staff was parading the crabs around, letting people in the restaurant take photos with the crabs and mocking the crabs while they were being suspended by their claws. The crabs were struggling to get away and trying to snap their claws, much to the amusement of the staff. While it might seem crazy to some, we actually saw the fear and panic in the crab's eyes. The whole spectacle was absolutely disgusting and the three of us were completely turned off. When we inquired if they killed the crabs humanely, the manager laughed, told us to enjoy our meals and walked away. We couldn't eat and left right away. If you have any regards for animals, do not go to East Pacific, and tell all your friends not to eat here either as they are barbaric. I wish I could leave a negative star. read more

Yes I have been coming here for years. Best Chinese food in Brooklyn and Staten Island. Can be very pricey though. Come here for lunch special. read more

If you're in the area, this place is a fantastic choice! It does get busy, but the wait time is surprisingly short. The staff is incredibly friendly, and if the cart doesn't come around, just ask! The dim sum here is simple, quick, and delicious. read more

Legit Cantonese cuisine is a bit hard to find in Staten Island, a place that is usually dominated by Chinese-American takeout. East Pacific serves up dim sum and banquet-style fare if you're in the mood. Looking at the logo, it looks like East Buffet started a chain. We went to get pickup from there and here are the results: - Golden Double Eggs Fried Rice: I liked is a lot. It tasted like very good high wok-hey flavored fried rice. Uncle Roger would approve. - Fried Flounder: Very fried and crunchy. The soy sauce wasn't enough to un-crunch the fried breading. Maybe more sauce. - Seafood Tofu Hot Pot: Fresh, flavorful, filling. It would be excellent if not for the piece of clear plastic on the bottom of the container. I hope that doesn't happen again.... - Sweet and Sour Ribs: Mainly bones, not much meat. Also, no sweet and sour sauce (they forgot to pack it). It pissed my mom off so much. I made my own sweet and sour sauce and re-fried it with everything. So.... can't really review theirs, can I? So, if you ignore the plastic in the food and forgetting the sweet and sour sauce, the food is decent. But I think next time we'll try Precious Island Dim Sum. read more

YAY-- this place re-opened! Best restaurant on Staten Island hands down! I will go support them and so should you. The Tom Yum Goong soup is the best I've ever had. Excellent pad Thai. Sushi here has always been great. The miso sea bass here is better than Nobu's. Can't wait to go back! read more

I used to dine frequently at this East Pacific restaurant. It's convenient and it's within the Staten island mall. Food was good. But the customer service is poor to worst. Waiter/waitress are less enthusiastic when it comes to service. Lazy and rude. Aside from laziness, they are squeaky too. They quick at adding 20% tip to customer's bill by their choice not by the customers' choice. Food becomes lousy once past 8:00 pm. Waiters would intentionally rush their customer to finish their meal so that the restaurant can close early. Aside from the rush, they failed to replace clean plates. Customers had to self serve and self acquired napkins and etc. I would not go back anytime soon unless the restaurant improve their service. How are these lazy waiters deserve 18-20% tips if customers have to self serve? read more

Ordered: Dunn deal roll, spicy salmon roll, Szechuan dumplings & chicken chow mein Salmon was not fresh but not unbearably old either. Just tasted a little fishy Dunn deal roll should REALLY be advertised as NO RICE. it was an actual ball of mush that fell apart in chopsticks. Dumplings are always good. Two stars for those My biggest gripe was with the "chicken chow mein". First of all, I'm not sure what gray slop it was sitting in. But there were NO NOODLES in it. Not one. In chow mein. It was a celery, onion, and bean sprout. How the hell do you forget the noodles in a noodle dish ? I threw it out. I don't know what happened here but I'm never ordering again to find out. **update** Owner reached out to me personally via text and offered refund. I don't even care about the money. It's the fact that translated, "chow" means fried and "mein" is noodles, but I was apparently wrong for assuming it was a noodle dish. Fact is, Things on the menu are misleading. She must agree with me tho, as she assured me that they were working with someone to get it fixed. We'll see .. read more

Great decor? Yup. Fresh sushi? They got it. Chilean Sea Bass that you would brave rush hour for? For sure. Their menu covers Japanese, Chinese, and American Chinese fusion plus other dishes like Malaysian curry. And if you're trying to eat healthy they make a sizzling chicken teriyaki dish that makes eating chicken and broccoli something to look forward to. If you happen to read this while you're there get the coconut rice as the side, no need for thanks it's just what they do. read more

This is our go-to spot for dim sum in Staten Island. Unsure whether there are even any other options, to be honest, but East Pacific's dim sum is authentic and pretty on point ... also comparable to the ones we've ordered from other boroughs. I typically get the usual - rice noodles, siu mai, har gow, coconut jelly. Their buns are good as well, especially their baked char siu bao, which has a unique topping that resembles pineapple bun. Try it out if you can! read more

I've been to this restaurants a few time and the food is good. The service is good and they check up on you when you need something. Usually most dim sum restaurants are bright and all but the is location is somewhat dim but it's a nice cozy vibe and to enjoy your meals read more

One of my favorite place to get Asian food on Staten Island. I used to come here often when I was in high school with my mom. I haven't been back for awhile, so it was a happy surprise to find they have added new menus since but kept some of my old favorites like Pineapple fried rice and Sizzling plates. Their dim sum dishes are on point--I especially liked the vegetable dumplings and eggplants stuffed with shrimp. Tuna carpaccio is my new favorite, and I would definitely order again the next time. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who's looking for good Asian food on Island. read more

Since we are on an island visiting friends, a fancy island, the island where it has the most expensive toll in the world, we were craving dim sum and there is not much dim sum places on the island, so we ended up here. It is part of the Staten Island mall. Easy to get to, easy to find parking. I've had dim sum places all over NYC and I would say this place met expectations. They have a good variety of dim sum places just like other places. I've also been here for dinner, had the soft shell crab and green curry with special rice, which were very good. You are at a chinese place, stay away from the raw stuff. The decor is very americanized, fits right in with the rest of the mall. Lots of room inside and baby friendly. I'm gonna have my resident friends pay this toll. read more

Great location right at the mall. Easy to get to with plenty of parking. Service was good. Great variety of foods from dim sum to sushi. To be on the safe side, stick with Cantonese dishes when ordering. Anything outside the boundary is mediocre. I've tried almost everything in the menu. This restaurant has been here for quite sometime. read more

Honestly the one of the best Chinese food spots on Staten Island! I especially loved their crispy shrimp with honey walnut. As a Chinese American, I can tell is it cooked authentically and the ingredients are fresh. Another notable dish was the spicy sichuan dumplings! Full of flavor and spice! I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Group of 12 came to East Pacific restaurant. Food review consensus it was alright. Nothing special. Lots of leftovers and a big bill. Couple guests were given a to-go menu. When elderly gentleman asked for shrimp and peas. (He has dental issues and needed something soft) He was told rudely that he can't order off a to-go menu. (That he was given) Then handed another menu and directed to a $30+ seafood dish. He decided just to eat a little of the family style plates that were ordered. No respect for elderly. I also was given a to-go menu. I felt like a salad and it was on both menus. I noted 3 salad dressings. I ask if I may taste 2 of them to decide which i liked. I was also treated rudely and told they are already made. I questioned that? You mean salads are NOT made fresh to order? No. It's mixed. Hmm i find that hard to believe. I felt that the waitress had a attitude with us. I did NOT feel like ordering anything at that point. I walked out to OUTBACK had a Ribeye and returned to our group. Of coarse being Asian they forced the dessert on me. Red bean soup.. Very bland... no coconut used in it like i have had it before. It can be delicious... just not here at East Pacific. Summary... with so many food choices you can do better than East Pacific. read more
