Ocean Palace

Very good option for a variety of dim sum. Sometimes you have to track down the cats as there doesn't seem to be a pattern and the same one skips the same tables in a row. Ordering from your server is guaranteed but slower than you'd expect. Parking can be hard if you want to park close on weekends but there are plenty of spots to get your steps in (a good way to work off a little of those calories 😂).

This review is for the dimsum experience. Went on Saturday morning and there was no line. Huge restaurant with lots of sitting place for everyone. Ladies with carts catering small dishes of dimsum is faster than any fast food joint. We were eating within a minute after sitting down. Dimsum were hot and fresh. Great flavor and none of the dish we ordered disappoint. Will return for more next time!

The food was delicious, everything I ordered was amazing. I had the rice noodle roll with shrimp, the accompanying soy sauce was nice and sweet. I also ordered the shrimp and chives dumpling, shrimp dumplings, pork soup dumplings, fried shrimp balls, steamed bbq pork bao, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and congee with fish. Everything was very standard, the flavors delivered on the expectations. The jasmine hot tea was delicious and they also refilled it for us. The price might be a little high with most dishes being M (5.75) or L (6.75), so I would only come here once in awhile, especially if it's with a big family. I came on a Monday for lunch so it wasn't very busy, I was seated ASAP and was able to order immediately. My waitress was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu.

Amongst all of the DimSum restaurants in town, we have decided on Ocean Palace for DimSum lunch today (Monday). We were not disappointed, the interior of the restaurant is pretty nice! The staff was friendly, food service was fast, and the overall taste of the DimSum was good 👍 Only thing was the turnip cakes was a little undercooked. The portion to price ratio is on point. **And kudos for not playing old chinese music from the 90s (it would be too typical and not "modern" to match the tastefully done interior designs), instead, they had the American Top 40 hits playing in the restaurant. (Whoever thought of the music choice needs a raise) Ok.. so overall experience was great, however.. I caught something when I asked for the bill... The suggested pre-calculated tip% choices (i.e. 15%, 20%, 25%) is calculated with the amount "after tax" not before tax. I have been in the industry long enough to know that trick, and honestly, it makes your customers that DOES notice this, question your business's integrity and honesty. One last thing.. the bathroom floor is very slippery. Please consider putting some floor mats or carpets in the bathrooms. It can be a liability issue.

I was recommended Ocean Palace by my friends who told me that it is an authentic Chinese restaurant specializing in southern Chinese cuisine, particularly Hong Kong and Cantonese dishes. The moment you step inside, you're transported to the heart of China. The food is beyond exceptional. From the delicate dim sum to the mouthwatering rice noodle, each bite is a delight. I never realized how much I would enjoy Cantonese food until I discovered this place!

Prices are a little high, but decently worth the quality of the food. The one thing I found poor was the "xiao long bao", the skin was too thick and it was dry inside. Would not recommend that. I'd recommend the porridge/congee and the "liu sha bao" (make sure to eat them while they are still hot!) The wait staff was friendly.
