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 spicy. If you enjoy heat, ask about extra-spicy chilli oil with fried rice; one diner found it excellent with the Szechuan spicy chicken.
Check extras. Confirm that your order includes cutlery and ask for ice with drinks, as both were reported missing in individual visits.
Ask portions. If you are hungry, check the serving size before ordering: one customer found a branch portion too small to feel full.
Consider combos. Combos work well for takeaway or a quick food-court meal, with reviews describing two takeaway combos as delicious.
Vegetarian check. Vegetarian diners should ask what is currently available, since one review reported only one vegetable option.

The Bottom Line
Chinese Palace Restaurant is a practical Chinese food-court option in Al Mankhool, with reviews linked to the Burjuman mall branch. It suits a quick lunch, takeaway or casual meal, especially if you want a combo rather than a long sit-down experience. Customers commonly praise the friendly welcome and staff who explain the food or make sure extras such as chilli sauce are provided.
There is plenty of specific dish guidance. The chilli chicken was praised for juicy pieces and a good texture, while the fried rice with extra-spicy chilli oil and Szechuan spicy chicken made one reviewer’s combo especially appealing to heat-seekers. Spring rolls, chicken shu mai, chilli fish, orange chicken and chicken noodle soup also appear in recommendations.
Black pepper chicken and beef chilli receive positive mentions too. The main caution is consistency. One recent diner found the food less fresh and portions unusually small, while another said a serving arrived a little cold.
A separate visit had no cutlery, and one reviewer complained that drinks came without ice. Vegetarian choice may also be narrow, with one review reporting only one vegetable item. Ask about portion size, current vegetable options and included extras before paying.
Prices are described as reasonable in one older review, but no current amounts are provided.
