  8 of us went there for dinner @ 7:30pm. It is small place with 60 % full. The owner and waitress always joke around with us, but not much services. We waved them for 5 minutes each time, we ask for tea/ napkins/ pop/ knife for cake. They never check customer's tea pot is empty or not?
  
  No wet towel for customer,  after they finished pigeons, no such of changing dishes, even they are not busy.
  
  But their portions are big with around $20 per dish, its hard to find in Richmond now.
  
  We had tried...
  
  3 pigeons.. it's so juicy/ crispy/ hot/ salty, when they just come, but it's become hard and chewy, after 10 minutes.
  
  Deep fried squid... it's crispy and hot.. we like it.. we ordered 2nd order after we finished everything.
  
  Deep fried tofu,  its the best dish.. they cut into sma cube size/ crispy outside/ soft inside
  
  Mixed seafood winter melon soup $68..  we need to preorder a day ahead.. it's got a lot of shrimp and scallops inside, but I can tell they put alot of msg inside, i had one bowl only, cuz of it's too salty for me. rest of my guy friends had 2 bowls each.
  
  Deep fried chicken... over cooked and salty
  
  Chinese sausage on Taiwanese cauliflower... extremely oily
  
  Pork liver and chicken gizzards pot... oily and too chewy
  
  Ton hong with shrimp paste  ... it's not crunchy.. its soft and salty
  
  Prawns and scallops on asparagus/ snow peas.. its oily , but a lot of scallops and prawns with big portion $26.. cheap...
  
  Fatty pork on sour veggies... pork was not soft enough,  only 5 thin slices chewy fatty pork on lettuce,  not worth $20.
  
  5 cans of coke and we brought our own red wine.
  
  They charged $370 + 15% tips for 8 people's dinner.

  Small place, the waitress not ask you everything when you coming and care about you. We order a set menu for 6 people but we just have 4 people. Food just ok and then when we finished the food they missing one more item on your menu and they event don't say sorry. When we told them and already done my diner they bring the food to you they don't care about you how you eat that when you almost left and then they ask me 20$ for tip, I never been the restaurant have bad service like this before highly recommend not come back

  This restaurant is located in a small strip mall behind Aberdeen Center. That small complex has other restaurants too, making parking atrocious. It's hard to find too as the English name is not prominent at all, so you have to go by the Chinese name.
  
  Menu is pretty extensive. Good thing there's English descriptions for each menu item. They also have specials listed on the board but you will have to know  how to read Chinese.  Service is sparse as this is a small family run operation. The food is pretty good. With the influx of Shanghai and Chinese style restaurants, it's really good to be able to go to a cantonese restaurant.
  
  Price wise, it's a bit higher. Each dish ranges from $15-$20.  But I guess this is now the trend what with the high real estate in the area.  Ask for a complimentary dessert at the end of your meal.
  
  They have 4-5 big tables so do reserve in advance. And they take credit cards which is a plus.  I give it 3.5* and will definitely be back next time.

  We have been to pretty much all of the Chinese restaurants in Richmond and Vancouver, this has to be bar none the best Chinese dinner and late night restaurant.
  
  The owners are great people and really do their best to deliver a great service and make you feel like you are at home.
  
  If you are in Richmond you'll need to visit, I come here to get the yin yang fried rice and also their honey spareribs great dishes.
  
  There are other late night restaurants in Richmond however Double East is definitely the best.

  Waitresses are ok, foods are average. We have order a plate of vegetable , but it was over cooked and smushing.
