Food: Flavors falter and fail

While the steamed buns, roast duck, and pork and shrimp shu mai might sound enticing, the food at The Palace falls unsettlingly flat. The taste and freshness of the food frequently disappoint, blasted as bland and stale. Even the variety of dishes can't redeem the low points, with a notably limited selection and lack of specialized meals.

  • Large Portions

    Decent-sized portions satisfied two hungry adults very well.

  • Almost Creative

    Authentic meals with fresh ingredients; originality in menu not specifically mentioned.

  • Bad Value

    Food unfairly overpriced, compulsory fees, poor service, and valet inconveniences.

Vibe: Abysmal ambiance abounds

The environment at The Palace is less than ideal. Patrons point to an alarming lack of cleanliness and a direly dated decor. Its rise in popularity seems to have only introduced problems, contributing to a noisy, depressing atmosphere where even the staff seems to be unhappy.

  • Bad For Dates

    Waiters a bit rude, place a bit loud, detrimental to date night.

Perks: Perks practically non-existent

The Palace may not be particularly suited to groups or individuals with dietary restrictions. The service often leaves customers feeling spurned, with frequent complaints of rudeness and inattentiveness. The restricted parking options, high noise levels, and lack of accommodations for dietary needs are further drawbacks.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large groups; private rooms and group menus available.

  • Okay For Kids

    Solid 3.5 stars, my 6 year old loves this place, rounding up.

  • Hard To Park

    Mandatory valet only, expensive without validation, very limited spaces.
