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…

Very Nice Atmosphere and Great Dim Sum
by Bubblie at Citysearch
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!!!

Nice fish tanks
by Mpow at Citysearch
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

Beware of the shark fin soup
by savethesharks at Citysearch
We love this restaurant for dim sum on Sundays. However, please do not support the purchase of shark fin soup. The manager has noted that this restaurant only serves real shark fin soup - no imitations. Sharks are being decimated throughout the oceans to meet the demands of Asian restaurants serving shark fin soup. This "delicacy" is creating endangered species. Stick to the wonton or egg drop.
- Pros: Decor and Dim Sum
- Cons: Shark fin soup!!
The Details on Ocean Palace
Know Before You Go:
Some 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.
