East Kitchen is a great spot in Courtenay for a tasty and affordable buffet. The food is fresh, always well-stocked, and there's a good variety to choose from. It's a warm, friendly, family-run place that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend!"

Pleasantly surprised by the authentic taste. We went for the Peking duck. Served different from what I am used to in Europe but the chef definitely put effort into it. And came out of the kitchen twice to peek if we enjoyed it . Always a good sign when a chef has some proud in his own creation. The one person serving has been very friendly to us in a casual way and even asked if we know how to eat this dish . We are only in the area for a few weeks but will be returning before we leave. Recommended for ppl who don’t need a too fancy environment, and like the real thing instead of a fake smile and high heels. This is the place to go for enjoying your dinner.

We were hungry around 5:00 and were surprised to find this restaurant already a quarter full when we arrived. My wife is Chinese and doesn't normally like “Canadian Chinese buffet” but she really enjoyed this one.The staff were friendly and nice. The buffet had a good selection and everything was fresh and refilled quickly. We enjoyed the buffet but next time we go back will probably order off the menu because there were more traditional Chinese dishes on the menu that weren't on the buffet.

We visit there quite often since it was opened. So I guarantee you that the East Kitchen Restaurant has the real and authentic Chinese food on the Vancouver Island. Food has always been prepared fresh w/ high quality material. Dine-in experience was very great and take out was as delicious as dine-in. I had the pleasure to meet one of the master chef Keney, a polite and enthusiastic young fella kept the restaurant clean and friendly in addition to the great food.

WOW!! What a difference since the last time we ate here :). The new management has introduced an updated menu that includes traditional Chinese dishes along with a variety of creative (and delicious!) new recipes. Flavors are wonderful, portions are healthy and the service is impeccable. We'll be back often!!

It was great. Went on New Year's Day, There was 9 of us at separate tables. They were swamped. The wonderful lady serving us must have been the owner. She warned us about how busy it was, but still managed to get food to us very quickly. She also stopped us from ordering way to much food which was appreciated. She was great with the kids and the food was excellent. Our new tradition when in Courtney.

We love the Chinese food here. It is always delicious with a large variety.We had the lunch buffet and arrived around 1:30 pm. Not a good idea. The variety was there but not my favorite choices and not very fresh. Next time we will go earlier.Relaxed atmosphere and quiet at this time of day.
