This place closed for Covid and thought it was a change to go there as they recently reopened. The place was very clean and spacious. Cloth table cloths in white and looked new. We had the party for four and sweet and sour beef. I got to say it was very very good. All came hot and we dug in right away. The party for four consisted of 4 egg rolls that were done perfectly and hot, prawns with hot vegetables, lemon chicken, special chow main and special fried rice. Service was a bit slow for me and in traditional style, the food came dish by dish as it was cooked up in the kitchen. It is the next best thing for Chinese food south of the river. read more

We always enjoy our meals at the Ocean Palace. It's a no-brainer when we wanna go out for a reasonable priced dinner.

We had a delicious meal here. Large menu with several vegetarian/vegan options. Vegetable egg rolls were fresh and nicely crisped. Complementary jasmine tea was hot and tasty. Portions are very large. Service was very good. They do have some large tables that could seat a larger family. Free parking next to and in front of restaurant. read more

I was underwhelmed. A friend invited me here. Food: 3/5 - the breaded chicken almond was average, not greasy. The chicken chow mein had few veggies and lacked taste. The butterfly shrimp was average. Lacking authentic Asian food taste. Service: 2/5 - slooow getting your food. If you're not in a hurry to eat, and you have patience, then it's okay to come here. They couldn't explain how we got our food after others arrived after us. Atmosphere: 3/5 - clean Parking: 4/5 - complimentary parking available out front read more

The restaurant was clean and inviting, but the food quality was sub par. Hot and south soup was very vinegary and disappointing

Food is always great here. Not cheap but tasty! The beef and broccoli, chicken in black bran sauce, chicken fried rice and prawns in spicy salt are my favourites! Best in South Delta IMHO. read more

The best Chinese food south of Richmond.. Tasty, not greasy.. The downside.. it's always in great demand and wait times can be long.. both for answering the phone and meal preparation.. We have been ordering from this great restaurant for more than 20 years.. read more

Ordered the 3-item dinner special (sweet & sour boneless pork, special fried rice and chow mein). Every single piece of "pork" was inedible gristle. The rice had only 2 pieces of shrimp. The chow mein was swimming in oil and tasted burnt. For over $20 I won't be ordering from here again. Portion sizes were a decent amount but that means nothing when the quality is so poor. read more

We did take out meal for 6. Food was fast, plenty and delicious. If you are a vegetarian make sure to order a vegetarian dish because everything has some sort of meat or fish. read more

Spent 45 minutes trying to call this restaurant to place my order for pick up. I decided to drive to the restaurant and place my order when I arrived I noticed that the phone was of the hook. I Asked if I could place my order for takeout. Yes says the owner it will take 3 hours. How could that be I said you just opened 45 minutes ago. No answer from the owner a customer was just leaving with his order I asked him when he ordered, yesterday he tells me. I Will never order food from this restaurant what a joke. I told the owner he needs to put that on his website. You just lost 6 long time customer's read more

We are always very happy with the food and delivery service from Ocean Palace. We have ordered from them for many years and it has been consistently good. When dining in their restaurant, there is one waiter that could use an attitude adjustment i.e. smile and let the customer feel welcome. We go for the food though, not the waiter :-) read more

Not a fan I love noodles but when you order them they are crunchy on top and liquid at the bottom t read more

Food was okay BUT the service was terrible. James the tall waiter was rude and miserable. The service was atrocious. We waited forever for our egg rolls and wontons and then James didn't come back and take our order, we had to ask another waitress who just said she'd get our server. Had to ask twice for two glasses of water and they didn't have certain menu listed drinks or wine. Would never come back. read more

Yesterday, couldn't get through by phone, so drove there and ordered in person. Was told it would be one and a half hour wait. I prepaid my order of $130. My number was taken for them to call me I waited an hour and a quarter and no call so tried calling them couldn't get through the first time. Did get through after a few tries and was put on hold only to be disconnected. Drove there to pick it up and was told there would be another half hour wait. When we did get our order we got home only to find that there was no chopsticks no soy sauce no other condiments whatsoever. The food was good but the rest of it was VERY DISAPPOINTING.

If you're looking for a Chinese restaurant that puts blame on the customer when they get your order wrong then you've come to the right place! We called and told them they gave us the wrong soup but they insisted we ordered it, they refused to change it out for the right dish , argued over the phone and refused to get the owner on the phone to resolve it. My wife and I went down there to take back the soup and told them how ridiculous it is to fight over a tub of soup. The only thing they did was tell us we're wrong and fought tooth and nail over the order insisting they're right . What kind of restaurant treats customers like this? Oceans palace apparently! When you run a restaurant and you're too cheap to replace an order such as soup you know you've got problems!! Any respectable restaurant would gladly replace it and treat you as a valued customer. P.S. the tall waiter who looks like lurch from the Addams Family needs to be fired immediately! The guy yelled at my wife and I in front of everyone just because we were unhappy with the way we were being treated! read more

This is probably the worst place I've heard of! The staff are extremely rude to their customers. They don't care if they lose business or not. read more

Don't bother. These guys have serious attitude, long deliveries 80min, crap food and just not worth it. The service in store is just as bad! I will never use them again. If you want to make a fortune, open a Chinese restaurant in tsawwassen! You will blow these guys out of the water and make great money, they are the only act in town. It took three phone calls to get them in the line.....horrible. read more

Guessing I got the worst "off-night" this place has ever had. This is the worst chinese food I have ever had in my life. Spent $100 - 6 different items. Not one was edible - threw it all out (and I was starving). Ordering Pizza now. read more

Well we moved to Tsawwassen from Ladner where Ladner Ming Crt was our go to place. Thought we would try something new. Worst chicken balls we have ever had. Even kids would not eat them. Doughy and almost undercooked. To their credit the sweet and sour pork was good and the fried rice also tasty. But when you actually cannot eat one of the main entrees!!! Back to Ladner Ming. read more

This is probably the best Chinese Food south of Richmond! Authentic, not greasy, fresh and hot, great service, clean and inviting! We had and recommend the boneless honey garlic pork, bbq pork fried rice, veggie crispy chow mein and spicy kung pow chicken(chicken with veggies and peanuts in a spicy hot chilli sauce) and egg rolls. Comes with Jasmine tea and fortune cookies to finish! Very excellent service too! Recommend reservations if after 530. Fills up fast, especially on a Sunday! Large portions too, four dishes is lots for dinner and leftovers for 2 lunches the next day. Total cost around $55 including tax plus tip ran just over $60. read more

Ocean Palace Chinese Seafood Restaurant - a table full of food - Chinese Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

though haven't tried this yet, it's spacious and as nice decor as you're going to find here in Delta; not saying it's a hole in the wall by any stretch but it sure ain't no Kirin, decor-wise. Neatly tucked in the far corner of a busy plaza, so quite easy to miss. free parking. and they deliver, except tuesdays when they're closed. read more

Tried some Friday night take out from this place and the food is absolutely disgusting. We ordered the basic house special chow mein and General Tso chicken. Never coming back. read more

This is the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten in. This place smells extremely disgusting and the food is absolutely terrible and even more disgusting. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Very good Chinese place in Tsawwassen.... If not the best! We come here every ever time we have a chance when we visit my father. Prices are god. Place is clean read more

The food is good, but their ordering system is from 1982: busy signal for 15 mins; put you on hold; begin taking your order; then put you on hold again; disconnect you; you call back; they put you on hold again; disconnect; then you order from a place that has the capacity to order takeout. It's too bad read more

Stay away from this place! My folks and I have been going to this restaurant since I was a young girl.. up until now our experience was always good.. even though they got our orders wrong a number of times they always made up for it.. however, last night we found out just how poorly these people are lacking in customer service and care now.. we ordered our food and my husband and myself went to pick it up.. soon as we got it home we realized they didn't give us our sweet and sour pork and instead of hot and sour soup we got wonton.. we have never in all the years we've gone here ever ordered wonton soup.. my folks were pissed as they should be.. my father called this place and the teenage girl which illegally is working at this place answered the phone and argued with my father saying we ordered wonton when he told her that he knows for a fact he said hot and sour.. not only did this little girl argue however also said that she wouldn't replace the soup for us either.. my mother even got on the phone with her and she also had to deal with this teen arguing her! My mother asked her to have the owner contact her.. instead the teen talked to the owner and never had her contact my mother.. so my folks ordered a hot and sour soup and told her we wanted the pork we had ordered. Now ready for an argument, myself and my husband angrily went down to the restaurant however I told my husband not to take the credit card out unless needed.. walking into the place I slammed the wonton on the counter and angrily told them we did not order this.. these people argued with us claiming they repeat the orders back to us and that it said wonton on the screen.. ARGUED WITH A CUSTOMER!! I told the manager that although it was put in the machine like that it was repeated back to my father as hot and sour soup! THESE PEOPLE WILL ARGUE WITH YOU OVER A $4 BOWL OF SOUP!! Now after informing these people I used to work in the restaurant industry I asked for the owner.. manager informs me that she's busy cooking.. THE OWNER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HER CUSTOMERS ENOUGH TO FIND A WAY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR ISSUES!! While screaming and arguing with these people the entire time the owner was in the back cooking!! This rude, lanky male Chinese man working at this place decides while on the phone to ask me to be quiet.. he obviously has no idea how to work efficiently in the restaurant industry and thinks the CUSTOMER should be quiet when he's doing something!! Even if that customer is angry!! Finally I told them we aren't having to pay for the hot and sour soup or pork since we already ordered the pork and returned the wonton soup.. after the manager explained to the teenager how they'll work it out, they let us take the food.. thanking the manager for her level head, the same lanky Chinese man comes over and starts to pick a fight!! Telling us to talk to the owner!! #1, we asked for the owner at the beginning and was denied to talk to her and #2, he had no right to step in!! So once my husband basically told him to mind his business, we were informed the owner would call my folks to settle things.. I am writing this review now the morning of the next day this happened.. the owner never called!! THE OWNER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS!! read more

We have been coming here for years, but Sunday night is the last time we will go there! The restaurant was only 1/3 full but the service was "SLOW" after 35 minutes I had to ask for our soup which came lukewarm. When the other dishes finally came they were also lukewarm and the Shanghai noodles were tough. This place used to be good "BUT" now the service is slow and the food barely acceptable, it was a huge disappointment! read more

Went for dinner on a Monday evening, place was dead, maybe 4 tables on the go. Our server, Jacky, was not very personable, we seemed to be an imposition for even being there. One small pot of tea was brought to the table, and never refilled, dinner was about what you expect when you go to a fast food place at the mall??? We were very disappointed, as we were told how good it was???? Possibly an off night, but won't be going back and would highly not recommend this place to anyone else. Even when paying the bill at the front, the staff was completely indifferent, no thank you, or please come again, just nothing done to make you feel good about being there, or wanting to coming back. Not recommended. read more

Always delicious! We try to stop in whenever we visit Tsawwassen. Highly recommend the Chicken and green beans in black bean sauce or the almond chicken. read more

Food is good. Arrogant owner and service really poor and unfriendly if he is the one serving you. Sorry our business is a burden on him. Feel sorry for his staff. read more

The only Chinese restaurant in Tsawwassen, actually. I would give four out of every five dishes a 'good' to 'excellent.' Service is not exactly attentive bc the captain's & wait station is hidden from the diners. read more

Can't even give a star...had to give 1 for me to be able to give s review. Called 40 minutes before close time to make a delivery order and they told us their delivery driver was gone for the night so pick up only! Who does that?? read more

Atrocious delays on getting our food. Other tables were filled later and served earlier. Wait staff was apologetic but completely unable to provide any meaningful information about when we could expect food. It took over 90 minutes to get chicken chow mein and the food only arrived after it was pointed out, firmly, that medical complications made food an absolute necessity. The food, when delivered, was good. But, the meal was an intensely frustrating dining experience. Nobody in my family will be dining here again. read more

Nothing extraordinary but perfectly good Chinese. A nice stop when you get off the ferry.

If you are looking for the most appalling customer service then this is the place for you!

Brutal! Saw two rats running in the restaurant. We ordered take out. We're told one hour for pick up. After an hour and a half we called. We're told it would be longer. Asked to talked to a restaurant manager was told they were busy and refused to talk to me. Finally got a manager and when I said something about the long wait he looked at me shrugged his shoulders and walked away mid sentence. This place in unhealthy and beyond rude!!!! Will never EVER be eating at this gross place again. Food was half cold half hot when we got it. Missing two items. BRUUUUUTAL! read more

Great place to eat in tsawwassen, they are usually busy so don't go in hoping to eat and leave quickly

Really good food. Just don't order take out from them on xmas eve. Made that mistake. Took 4 hrs for us to finally get the call that are food was being made now. Overall any other day of the year their food is really good. read more

We used to be regular customers and really liked the food even though the service is usually lacking. The last time we went we ordered our favorite item, the stuffed chicken wings. They were terrible. They tasted moldy. They come 8 to an order and we each tried 1 full one and a 1/2 of another. When we told the server (who has zero personality or people skills) she argued and said they are prepared and frozen right away. We said that is fine but they taste moldy. She then took the plate away and didn't come back until we were finished our other food. Our left overs were dropped off with the bill. They charged for 1/2 of the order of chicken wings. We have been regular customers for years and always order these wings. It wasn't like we were trying to get them for free. They were terrible and tasted bad. Unbelievable customer service to charge customers for rotten food. We will not be returning. The service has steadily declined in the last few years and now the food is following. read more

Ordered dinner for 9 people at 4:30 pm and was told 2-3 hours. No problem until I get there to pick it up at 7:20 and ask approximately how much longer and was told "We have no idea. Do you want to wait or cancel your order" I ask another server and was told "45 minutes". So I wait, and I ask again in another hour (just shy of 4 hours since ordering) and am told "your order is 6th in line to be cooked". Staff was stressed and didn't want to answer the phone for fear of another irate customer. People are leaving and chatting with me and could not believe how long I had waited for food. Finally my order is done at 9:20.... 4 3/4 hours when I was told 2-3. The food was good as always but they need to be honest with their customers and not be so greedy. I would rather have been told 5 hours and had a chance to make other dinner plans. This is poor management. Don't over book and ruin peoples night because you won't be honest with them I witnessed many phone complaints to the point that staff didn't want to answer the phone and be yelled at. Again Great food but Poor Management. read more
