Short Reviews: Great Eastern

A venerable (opened in 1986) two-floor Cantonese seafood palace located on Jackson Street in Chinatown and open until 1 a.m. In the classic Hong Kong manner, tanks along the back wall are filled with live seafood. Check out the price per pound of your favorite specie, point to your swimming meal of choice and be eating it minutes later. That is fresh seafood. Although the critics and the city's concierge contingent wax poetic about Great Eastern, my experiences here have been mostly unimpressive (including one case of food poisoning). No recommendation
