    2.Crystal Shrimp Dumplings(4)-(4)

    The service was great and the dim sum was exceptional!!! The restaurant's ambience was lovely! We will be back!

    Beautiful wall decor by the seating booths

    Absolutely delicious food! My favorite were the bbq ribs. Omg so tasty and flavorful. A friend and I came here to catch up and had the Palace Fried Rice, the vegetable dumplings, Vegetable Spring Rolls, 2 orders of the bbq fried rice, general tso chicken with brown rice, one green tea mochi dessert to share and Cauliflower general tso style. All absolutely delicious! Our waiter was super attentive and staff was friendly. The space is very clean and gives upscale vibes. Love the wall decor by the seating booths. I highly recommend this place. Our bill without cocktails (didn't drink tonight) was $99 a piece with tax and tip. I would absolutely come back here!

    Edamame & Sizzling Tofu
    Vivek D.

    After spending the evening at the Muse paintbar, we needed to find a quick place to eat, knowing that there were snow squalls on the road and it was super cold outside. With the time nearing 9:30pm, we were lucky that this place was open and willing to seat us. First off, this was one of the fanciest Chinese restaurants I've ever seen. Very elegant. We ordered two things: Edamame Sizzling tofu with mixed vegetables The tofu and veggies were quite satisfying. The edamame was fine, but not the best and quite a lot to finish between the two of us. Then again, it was also quite late in the evening. Overall, quite a solid Chinese restaurant in the area. Especially if you don't want the standard takeout.

    Peking Duck

    The service was excellent at dinner, with waiters attentive to our needs and cognizant of refilling water which was appreciated. The food was also very good: Calamari: 4/5 served with garlic chips and cabbage which was a little too much but the calamari itself was fresh and not greasy Xiao long bao: 5/5 Half Peking duck: 3/5 great portion and the skin was extra crispy however it was really really greasy Sesame chicken: 5/5 probably one of the best sesame chicken I've ever had - it was fresh and crispy and the sauce was not covered with sugar like most places Lychee peach tini: 5/5

    Start a drink in the exquisite bar before sitting was exhilarating. The server seated us to the booth with stunning wall full of chinese ancient poem. The ambiance was phenomenal. Great for a date, party, or family/friends gathering. Service was great and food was breathtaking. Compare with other famous Chinese fusion places in the city, this restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. Both my family and I were impressed with how the chef controlled the temperature of the dishes and the way they deal with the filet mignon. From three cocktails , appetizers, soups, sushi, to the 4 entrees were all scrumptious. Looking for a fancy restaurant can accommodate two young kids just like a tough nut to crack, but we feel so welcomed and comfortable here. Well done the team. We will be back soon. Dine in before 6:30pm to avoid the crowds was highly recommended. No wait by walking in. The restaurant was packed around 7:15pm on Thursday evening.

    Upon the Palace is a great new Asian restaurant in Tribeca. The space is beautiful and the service is very good. Their cocktails are also excellent with a decent wine list. The sushi is good. Although it is high quality and well done, it is nothing special given the amazing sushi options in the area. The Chinese food is truly outstanding, creative and delicious.

    3.Stir-Fried Lobster(1.5Lb)

    Amazing lobster! Service is attentive and the ambiance is nice too. Want to go back for the lobster

    Shrimp dumplings
    Leslie D.

    The service was great and the drinks were delicious. Very cute vibes and the food was just as tasty.

    Grilled 2.Grilled Chilean Sea Bass(14oz)-(14oz)

    The vibe of Upon The Palace was immaculate. I went by myself for dinner on a freezing cold day, and was instantly soothed by the warm environment. The decor is beautiful, and they had holiday decorations and music that made the mood even cozier. The staff was stand out, with Elvis at the bar making great conversation and even better drinks. The manager Kevin came to check on me halfway through my meal too, and seemed genuinely interested in making my experience the best it could be. Plus the food was all excellent, stand out would be the grilled Sea Bass which was wonderfully cooked and the salmon belly sushi. I would definitely go back for the experience alone!

    As the name implies, it really is an excellent dumpling house!…read more Me and my buddies were in Jersey and New York for some hockey games, and wanted to go to a deli, get some Chinese food, and a slice of pizza. Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

This is the first time I've…read moreordered out from them and their delivery service leaves a lot to be desired - as does the grub hub app. The app didn't update that my order was delivered so I was keeping an eye out for delivery. I missed a call and literally two minutes later the call came through again and the woman yelled at me - "hurry up hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" said the driver was waiting 10-15 minutes for me, which was simply untrue - I got a call literally two minutes before- just rude. Added a screenshot in case the owner doubles down that it was 15 mins. Guess the first call was from the delivery driver, and the second was from the restaurant itself. ‍ But the really disappointing part is that they didn't pack any soup separate from the noodles! - So my chicken dumpling noodle soup basically had no soup - don't know if they forgot it or if it was absorbed by the noodles but most restaurants at this point know to pack the broth and the noodles separately,- so I ended up having to add some of my own vegetable broth, which totally was not the flavor I was hoping for. So - love the food, but delivery service leaves a lot to be desired - next time I'll try giving instructions to pack the soup separate from the noodles and see if that helps!

I'm a lower middle-class Jersey guy - what the heck do I know about cocktails?  But I dove right into one ("Jade Collins") and it was firing on all cylinders.  Crisp, clean, strong enough to knock over an ox. Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

    Yeah Id say that was a pretty splendid meal. Shared everything thank goodness…read more Started with the wok fried beef dumplings which were good on their own but had this fire ahh spicy honey mustard wow. Then the scallion pancakes which were crispy and airy paired with this very interesting sauce that was clear but tasted like sweet and sour sauce. For mains we got Kung Pao Chicken which was pretty delicious but my star of the show was the Crispy Beef. It was crispy asf and skinny too I didn't know you could make beef skinny like that. Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top. Also they put 2 when we had 4 people like lowkey they couldve just put 2 more on there but anyways the cake itself was pretty tasty so can't complain there.

The food is all over the place but the main theme is that everything is over-seasoned to please the crowd of people who all were gulping down colorful sugary cocktails with dinner while wearing athletic clothing. Peking duck (for 4-5) had great accompaniments (rare to actually get bao with it) but it was a lackluster portion of duck. Salt and pepper shrimp were offensively salted. Special "mignon" was great. The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.

They have a banner for great HH specials that can only be redeemed at the bar (until next time). The space is large and modern. Suitable for big groups, date night, pre show, post showing dining.

Fish filet with ginger and scallion- nice portion size and a flavorful and clean dish. Braised pork belly- jam packed in flavor and cooked so tender from the meat to the fat. The pan fried noodle- normally a favorite in Chinese restaurants. This didn't hit its marks. There wasn't much noodles. The outer brim wasn't crispy. And it was a lot of sauce. The protein was scarce. And they had more veggies than protein. We were a table of 5 including a 6 year old. And everybody left full. And satisfied.
