What to Eat at Chinese Palace Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Chinese Palace Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try combos. Consider a combo if you want variety: one review says the AED 40 combo was enough for two people.
Choose noodles. If deciding between staples, one customer preferred the noodles to the fried rice and also liked the gravy chicken Manchurian.
Check takeout. Before leaving with takeaway, check that spoons, forks and chopsticks are included, since one order arrived without any utensils.
Watch the wait. If you are short on time, confirm that the full order is ready before settling in; one customer waited over 30 minutes and received cold food.
Compare chili beef. Chili beef received mixed feedback: one review called it delicious, while another said it had too much corn flour and was wasted.

The Bottom Line
Chinese Palace Restaurant is a Mirdif food-court choice for straightforward Chinese meals, with reviews highlighting fresh food, friendly service and a comfortable welcome. You can order dishes such as kung pao chicken, beef noodle soup, sweet and sour chicken and Shanghai veggie rolls, or choose a combo for more variety. The combos are useful for first visits because one review describes a set with rice, noodles, a spring roll and two main dishes.
Another customer said the 40 aed combo meal was enough for two people. Noodles also get a clear nod over fried rice in one review, while sweet and sour chicken is praised for its crisp coating and flavour. Service is usually described as attentive, accommodating and professional, but the experience is not perfectly consistent.
One April visit involved a wait of over 30 minutes, cold food and missing items that had to be collected from the counter. Takeaway customers should also check for utensils before leaving. Chili beef is another mixed point: some diners enjoy it, while one found the portion mostly corn flour rather than beef.
