Editorial Review for Ocean Palace – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
It's rather grand, this two-story palace with a sweeping entrance overlooking the Hong Kong City Mall's lily pad pond with fountains. Inside, expect tidy banquet-style decor with oceans of chattering Chinese patrons and a handful of Caucasians attempting to dim sum or succumbing to the buffet.
The Food
Dim sum is served daily, but Sunday's is the big draw, with crème de la crème choices: peppered shrimp, roast duck, black bean clams, Chinese broccoli, steamed pork dumplings and custard tartlets. If you don't fancy the pace of dim sum or guessing and pointing from rolling carts, a comprehensive menu awaits. Standards like kung pao chicken, Szechuan shrimp and Singapore vermicelli satisfy, but the weekend dim sum experience is matchless.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoSome of the roving cart pushers have a tenuous grasp on English, so snatch a hostess or waiter (with high-tech headphones) for dim sum translations.

I took my husband for our anniversary today to this restaurant. We had a wonderful time. The Dim Sum was very tasty especially the egg plant. The atmosphere was very nice. This is a place to take your time to go and eat and have good conversation. We will go back!!!

By far the worst meal I have ever eaten (and I've been to England). Being new to Houston I wanted to try some authentic asian food. I could Ignore the bad service but not the foul tasting food. Seriously, if you can’t get a good Chinese meal in Asia town…. I should have known better when I went into the restaurant and there were no Asian people eating there. I went back to work on Monday and told my asian co-workers where I went for lunch on the weekend and they laughed at me. The fish tanks were pretty though. Enjoy
Pros: Fish tanks
Cons: everything else
