    Chicken Feet, Spare Ribs with Black Beans, Ha Gao/Shrimp Dumpling.
    Angela P.

    My sister, mom and I went to Philly to celebrate Mother's Day. I thought I had very small memories of visiting there when I was really young, but I couldn't remember what I specifically ate except some rice roll. When we went and ate there, the place was busy but very fast paced! Once we sat, the servers were all ready serving dishes! I feel the nostalgia throughout the environment! Most of all, the food was delicious! From the chicken feet to the scallop that was the most tender, decadent thing I have ate in my entire life! I'm not a fan of eating scallops, but that scallop was something else! The place was pricy because of the seafood, but it was one of best lunches I ever had with my family in my entire life!

    Variety of dim sum

    Solid Dim sum spot that had plenty of room for large events. Dim sum came in carts and were attentive. Great verity.

    Came here later, stage and banquet hall

    Seriously enjoyed the banquet style dim sum hall here! The tea service was quick and attentive, bringing us more water and tea almost as soon as we were out. We love a good cart service dim sum. Come with a larger group so you can get a taste of all the items! Standouts were: chun fun, beef balls, lo mei ga (glutinous lotus rice--they have dried scallops in there!), and shockingly the egg tart. It is sooo silky and buttery that is clearly margarine based but sooo tasty and flakey. We got there at 1 so it would be less crowded!

    Went to this place back in December 2024. Before you read my review, my family and I did go here around 2:00pm on a Saturday, which was pretty much when dim sum is almost over. So, we were pretty much eating the leftovers in the push carts. They also did make some dishes fresh for us. The food was okay and we had a good meal. The dish that I remember the most is the crispy durian roll. I'm a huge fan of durian, but it's rare to find anything durian flavored usually, so this was exciting. And it was good. The outside dough was very thin and crispy, but a bit oily. They made this dessert for us fresh. This place is very big compared to Ocean Harbor, but I personally preferred Ocean Harbor better. But the pros of this place is that they have parking and hopefully there will be more seating if it's busy. But I'm willing to give this place another try during their busy dim sum time. Maybe the food will be better when we won't be stuck eating last crusty and cold dishes. Will update this review if I ever go back again. Lesson of the day: Don't go to dim sum in the afternoon. Try to go when they open or during lunch hours. :)

    We are visiting Philly and stopped by for some dim sum around 1:30 in the afternoon and were seated right away, no wait at all. I love the traditional push carts; they give the place such a nostalgic vibe. Of course that means you'll have the push carts ladies always coming by to ask if you want more and more and more! You'll just have to let them know no is no when you've had enough. The food was solid overall. Our favorites were the shrimp rice rolls and the beef balls. We also ordered the beef offal, and I was pleasantly surprised that they gave multiple pieces of spleen, usually you only get one, so that was a nice bonus. The tripe was a little tough, but everything else hit the spot.

    Grand Palace is the reopening of what our family used to know as Maxim, a big old school classic chinese banquet and dim sum restaurant. A bunch of my family came to trial a lot of the dinner and banquet style items as a possible venue for a family member's wedding, and whill the space was large and the menu had all of the classics, the food and prices weren't quite as good as we remembered. The menu is big as expected, with a mix of American Chinese stuff like Orange chicken or Beef and broccoli but more importantly a big list of classic Cantonese dishes from fried rice to wonton noodle soup to chinese barbecued meats to sizzling beef on hot platter to whole fried or steamed fish. The food all looked right and came out reasonably fast, but the flavors were hit or miss and the portions were not that satisfying considering the price point and family style set up. A few misses specifically were the steamed fish which is featured in most of their banquet set menus - it's a classic you'll see in most old school Cantonese restaurants, and while it came out looking nice, it seemed to be oversteamed with the fish meat a little tougher and not as light and moist as usual, and the sweet soy sauce it came with was just alright; also, it was upwards of $50-60 which is much higher than expected for the area. I don't remember which, but I think they also did that with one of the other dishes we ordered. Also, we ordered what we thought was the standard "large" or "family" size portion of the crabmeat fish maw soup, but they didn't tell us that they multiplied the portion as well as the price to accomodate our table of ~10, so intead of paying the usual ~$20 it was multiple times that. While we would understand if they discussed with us when ordering, there was no mention of that in the menu or when ordering, which is to be frank very inappropriate and dishonest. Other dishes - Braised soft noodles: also featured in the banquet menus so we wanted to try it - soft but lacking flavor and addins, honestly ok as a vehicle like rice to eat with other dishes but not worth on its own - Beef short ribs in black pepper sauce: tasted alright but a small portion - Clams with diced pork: one of the better dishes, sauteed well and the pork adds a nice flavor - Salted fish fried rice: also one of the better dishes, solid wok hei smoky flavor - Shrimp lo mein: basic, not bad just not very impressive, pretty oily like you'd get in a takeout place - Steamed oysters: quite tasty, with a nice ginger scallion sweet savory soy sauce but at $9 each (so $54 for an order of 6), not that great of a deal - Fried jumbo shrimp with walnut in cream sauce: nice size shrimp, tasty cream sauce which is a bit heavy for my taste but that's the traditional preparation so I can't complain about that, was not a big portion for over $20 with a good amount of broccoli on the plate as filler Overall, the place as all the right dishes you'd expect and is can easily accommodate your family or whatever size group, but at this price point and with quality of food you can definitely find better around the area.

    The worst place I have ever been, stuff so rude, I have never been treated with such un respect as the staff there. I did decor for a party there and the staff hide/stole my things, they give me back a few things from the back room but I'm still missing a lot of things. When I was picking up some of my decorations from the stage they removed the stairs and let me jumping and hoping up to go on the stage and down, it was such a miserable way to treat a person, Shame on them for being so rude.

    G P R is a very large restaurant right off of Washington Ave, a few blocks from the Italian Market... They have a very selection of your standard variety of dim sum which which definitely satisfy everyone's dim sum cravings...The restaurant is very nice inside with enough table, and trolley services to keep the rotation of carts moving along, but you may have get one of the table servers to go over and kick start the trolly pushers since they do like to get involved with their cellphones...

    Looking for good dim sum? Here's your spot! Looking for delicious authentic Chinese? Yup, it's here too. I even celebrated my bday here. Space is huge and I've never had to wait to be seated. My go to items are: Salted fish fried rice - this is probably the best in the Philly area. It's loaded with a ton of fish and the dish is so flavorful Beef chow fun with gravy (or wet) - I not a big fan of stir fry so I always get the saucy one. Love love! Tiny white fish - I'm not exactly sure if the name but it's these lil sliver fishes that's fried and salted. My entire family always have to order 2 of these.

    Best dim sum around the area. Love that this restaurant still has the dim sum cart ladies showcasing the food. Philadelphia Chinatown does not have good dim sum places anymore. Everything seems to be made fresh and packed full of flavor. My favorite is the snowcap char siu bun, but for some reason it had a strong alcohol taste to it this time around. Very spacious, huge place, and a ton of tables!

    The most AMAZING crispy 171. Roast Duck
    Trung T.

    Really good quality dim sum served in traditional carts! And there was no wait at all for a table because their dining room is so large and spacious! They even have the cutest piggy bao buns. And the roast duck is the most amazing duck that I've ever tasted! This duck literally melted in my mouth because it was so tender but the skin was still nice and crispy...simply amazing! And there was free parking in the lot right out front. I would highly recommend Grand Palace!!!

    Ask the Community - Grand Palace Restaurant

    Is there a dim sum buffet price? Someone told me it was something like $30/$35 per person for dim sum 11-2pm is that right? If we get there at 1/1:15 will they stop bringing out the food right at 2 and not make fresh?

    Is there a surcharge for using a credit card?

    Yes, by giving cash payments a 4% discount if you pay with a credit card you are not getting the discount so it's really a charge

I chose the $7 version with steamed shrimp and OH MY! I have a new favorite. Loved it.

Their roast duck was perfectly seasoned and cooked, skin was delicious, sometimes the meat portion for this selection is a little lacking cuz the weight is made up of bones, but otherwise really good. That's just the cost of getting roast duck as an option. Their char siu taste, quality, and portion all exceed expectations, really good. Perfectly seasoned with their marinade that penetrates the meat fully. And lastly their roast pork, crispy meaty, great crust, meats a little dry but still really good! Definitely my favorite place in Philly!

We ordered the chicken lo mein (without vegetables for my nephew), diced dry spicy chicken, xiao long bao (XLB), pan-fried Sheng Jian Bao, chicken feet, crystal shrimp dumplings, and egg tarts. The chicken lo mein was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt and flavor. The diced dry spicy chicken came with a side of rice, which balanced the bold seasoning nicely. The chicken was crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside, and the spice level was around a 5/10, which is enough to give it a satisfying kick without being overwhelming. The XLB wasn't served with julienned ginger, as some restaurants do, but the broth inside the dumplings had a subtle ginger flavor that was a pleasant surprise. The dumplings were well-seasoned and flavorful enough that they didn't even need soy sauce. The pan-fried Sheng Jian Bao (five dumplings per order) was slightly less authentic than I expected. While the flavor was spot on, the filling lacked any soup, and both the top and bottom of the bao were crispy (typically just the bottom of the dumpling is pan-seared). They ended up tasting more like well-made pan-fried dumplings than traditional Sheng Jian Baos. The chicken feet came three to an order and were tender, with a savory sauce that had a hint of sweetness. The crystal shrimp dumplings were fresh and delicate, and the egg tarts made for a great way to finish the meal with their flaky crust and creamy custard filling. The service here was excellent. Our server spoke almost perfect English, which isn't always expected at restaurants specializing in authentic dim sum. The food arrived quickly, piping hot, and they accept both cash and credit cards. The restaurant is fairly spacious, though it doesn't have the large banquet-style atmosphere you might associate with some traditional Chinese restaurants. Overall, this was an excellent dim sum experience, and I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Philadelphia.

My party usually intake weekend Chinese Dim Sum. Mona Lisa Vito: "I bet the Chinese food here is terrible. How's your Chinese food?" Vinny Gambini: "You just keep askin' about Chinese food. Can't you tell they don't have Chinese restaurants around here? You gotta let everybody know you're a tourist.

Chinese Dim Sum is regionally specific to Cantonese originating from the Guangdong province, ergo Cantonese will continue to survive as vernacular language. When we arrived there was one party of five middle age and elderly men who were conversing boisterously loud in Cantonese, but they were not arguing as it appeared that is their characteristic volume for communicating among each other. It seemingly appears every person within this party of five men want their individual spotlight as the desideratum to be heard without interruption and without judgment, therefore battle with loud vocally expressing one's thoughts. "Silence doesn't always mean you have nothing to say. It means you know that no matter what you say, nothing will change." - Snoopy, Peanuts by American cartoonist Charles M. Schulz I received complaints that I have been told I am too loud, but certainly this party of five men are louder. Ergo, stop with your vile complaints about me! My party of three found the quality of food average as juxtaposition for New York City Dim Sum. There are no dine-in menu to order platter entrées if the Dim Sum dishes does not eat your fill. Customer service is average. The Dim Sum trolley women appear nonchalant and less enthusiasm as they can determined to ascertain that my party and I are non-Pennsylvanians, but out-of-towners.

I did obtained my sales receipt. Nevertheless, a Dim Sum Sunday brunch was a equanimity state achieved to balance work life in the company of family in fleeting times. Let's Yum Cha! My foodie synopsis: Shrimp dumpling 蝦 餃 (haa1 gaau2)- filled with small pieces of shrimp and the dumpling skin was rather thick. The dumpling skin was sticking to the paper wrapping. The dumpling skin was sticking to the top of my mouth. Pork and mushroom dumpling 燒 賣 (siu1 maai6*2) Shumai were well prepared and the mushroom were, gratefully, small and not overpower the dumpling.

Both the dim sum menu and a lunch menu with standard Chinese restaurant fare were available. My party got the general tso's chicken from the lunch menu, and it was exceptional. Good-quality white meat with just enough spice. Heads up, though, the lunch dishes don't come with rice, so order that separately. From the dim sum menu, we ordered braised tripe with ginger & scallion, fried shrimp rolls, shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken buns, and crab meat soup dumplings. The braised tripe was a standout. It was cooked in a light yet flavorful sauce of ginger and scallion with the tripe's own broth. The delicateness of the sauce worked perfectly with the tripe. The dumplings were all great, especially the soup dumplings. The steamed chicken bun was the only thing I'd skip. It was on the heavier side, and the filling was just okay. The bill came out to about what I expected for the amount of food we ordered--$65 before tip. The service was friendly, and taking our order and getting the food was quick. After the food arrived, though, it was a little difficult to flag down a server to order more and later to get the check. Still, it was understandable given how busy they were, constantly collecting orders and putting out food. Overall, Canton Palace is a great find for anyone looking for this style of Chinese food outside of the usual New York neighborhoods.

I had to repeat myself multiple times asking for our change to come back. It almost seemed deliberate. So unprofessional. And yet my kind husband tipped the waitstaff generously; he's far kinder than I would have been. Not a class act restaurant. Will NEVER go back. REGRET that we chose this restaurant on our day out. =(

    Unfortunately, Yelp steered me wrong because the food here is BAD. I cannot figure out how it has…read moresuch high ratings. I can say this is the worst Asian food place I've ever been to. I regrettably went on Valentines with my boyfriend after the Barnes. My food was so bad that my mood was negatively impacted (seriously). Stay away from any of the soups/ramens, the broth is exactly the same flavorless base for every soup. I'd stick with appetizers. I got the worst thing I've ever ordered at a restaurant here: Tom Kha Seafood Soup, it was supposed to be spicy but it was just sweet with no flavor at all. Nothing like any other Asian spicy seafood soups I've had before, lacking any normal amount of seafood (hardly any), and weird uncooked veggies, like huge sliced raw tomato bits. I ate the small amount of seafood out of it and left the rest. It was hardly edible. The scallion pancakes were also the most underwhelming I've ever had. I usually fight for the last piece but me and my boyfriend left half of it uneaten. No flavor or crisp. Seemed frozen and reheated, not fresh. The soup dumplings were the only good thing we ordered and they were just fine, nothing amazing. Additionally, there was a very small amount of them to our order. The Vietnamese beef soup was ok but very below average, nothing good that I'd recommend ordering, same bland broth. I really wanted to like this place and I usually never give out one star reviews, but it was truly bad and the ratings on it are clearly inflated and not reflective of its food quality. Small amounts of bad food for a price you could get much better things elsewhere. I'd rather have gone to Wawa than gone here (and I did after because I was still hungry).

    This place is full!! Dining room hopping. Small and seemingly a lot of locals. Very helpful…read morefriendly staff. 4 wings $7.55. I got 4 flats. Tasty flavor but I think I should've read fine print. General Tso shrimp was solid! Flavorful and semi spicy. Just a note for you to notice it is spicy but nothing hot or overwhelming. The ramen I was shocked it did not have flavor. I drank the broth just outright but nothing flavorful. Weird, right? I give a 3.5 averaged 4 cause service. Would I return? Maybe... maybe try dim sum but I wouldn't order the wings or ramen again.
