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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Chinese Palace Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

“We ordered hot & sweet chicken fried rice 🍛🔥 and what we think was chilli chicken noodles 🍜🌶️ (not entirely sure about the exact name 😄). But honestly, once the food arrived, the name didn’t even matter! The taste was absolutely amazing 🤤✨ perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and just what we needed after a long day of shopping. Every bite was satisfying, and even now, just thinking about it makes me hungry all over again 😋. The portion sizes were good, and the freshness of the food really stood out.”

32 Dhs meal Net 0
Only neutral feedback
“Their 32 Dhs meal is decent if you want to taste multiple dishes on the go just like shown in the pictures. That said, the taste isn’t the best. The spring roll was pretty much tasteless, and the noodles were bland too. Nothing memorable. Their chicken sides were pretty decent though, so not a complete miss.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Temperature. Before taking your meal, check that hot dishes are actually warm; one review found both kung pao beef and fried rice cold.
Try Combos. For a quick budget meal, consider a combo: reviews describe choices of rice or noodles, two mains, spring rolls and a drink.
Expect Spice. If you are sensitive to heat, ask about spice levels first; one customer found the chicken dish much spicier than expected.
Allow Time. Most reviews mention speed, but one dinner took longer to prepare, so allow extra time if you are ordering during a busy period.

Common Concerns
Freshness Swings
One regular customer reported that food was often dry, old, smelly and cold, despite raising the issue with staff.
Cold Dishes
A separate visit found both kung pao beef and fried rice cold, so serving temperature is worth checking before leaving the counter.
Small Sides
One customer said two side portions were small, while another felt a chicken combo contained an unexpectedly small amount of chicken.
Service Inconsistency
Although many reviews praise the staff, others describe rude counter service and a cashier interaction that felt unprofessional.

The Bottom Line
Chinese Palace Restaurant is a food-court counter in Jebel Ali Village, associated in reviews with Ibn Battuta Mall. It is geared towards a quick, filling Chinese meal rather than a formal restaurant visit. Customers commonly order orange chicken, chili beef, fried rice, noodles and combo meals; the combo format is especially useful when you want to sample more than one dish.
The strongest value evidence is a reported 40 AED combo meal with a choice of rice or noodles, two mains, a drink and spring rolls. Another customer described a 32 Dhs meal as decent for tasting several dishes. Orange chicken gets repeated praise, while spicy beef chili, butterfly prawns, hot and sour soup and chicken corn soup give returning diners alternatives.
Service is often described as fast, polite and accommodating, and the food is frequently reported as fresh, hot and generously portioned. Still, the experience is not perfectly consistent. Reviews mention dry, old or cold food, cold kung pao beef and fried rice, small sides, and occasional rude counter service.
Check the temperature before leaving the counter, ask about spice, and consider a combo for a straightforward first visit.
