Easteat Táng Xiǎo Chú - Hokitika

Fantastic service, very prompt, polite and patient. Highly recommended for a good quality, authentic meal in Hokitika! Great to see them on the scene here.

Was the only place serving lunch at 14:30 so we went for a lunch to this restaurant. Had very nice pan-fried pork and veggie dumplings. Beef brisket stew with tomatoes and a portion of steer fried chicken in oyster sauce. All food was good or very good. The spicy sauce they had went very well with the noodles and dumplings. The portions were generous. For the service you would have to ask for things (e.g. water) and there seems to be a slight language barrier, but, overall, we were very satisfied. Not sure why the rating is so low.

Ordered the Mongolian beef and it was amazing! Best Chinese meal I've ever had on the Coast! Top work to the easteat team for stepping it up a notch in the local restaurant scene!

Thoroughly enjoyed the meal. not totally authentic, but close enough. prices are alright too. we were the only people in the shop. hope they stay in business!

Came for dinner on Tuesday night. Pork in sweet and sour pork tasted a bit old. Lamb, ginger and shallot stir fry, chicken and black bean stir fry were both OK. Braised beef brisket and noodles was good, meat tender. We were initially apprehensive about the sliced beef in hot chilli oil (on menu it has 3 chillis) but it was not that bad and texture was interesting with the bean sprouts and Szechuan peppercorns...there was a lot more liquid in the bowl than we were expecting. Everyone enjoyed the pork and chive dumplings. 1 large bowl of rice fed 4 hungry people. Portions are generous, came to less than $20/head and people were full. Service is good.
