The server, Mai, was attentive and friendly, guiding me through the menu and giving great suggestions. The food came out hot, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I especially loved the crunchy pork dish — seasoning was spot on. The space had a relaxed vibe and was clean and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy the meal. Even during a busy lunch, the service didn’t skip a beat. Generous portions, great taste, and smooth service — definitely a spot I’ll return to.

Mai, the server who helped me, made the entire meal smooth and enjoyable. The portions were generous and came out steaming hot. The crispy pork dish had an amazing crunch with just the right amount of spice. Service was quick, even though the place was nearly full. The space had a laid-back feel, perfect for casual dining with friends. Each plate was packed with balanced flavors that didn’t feel greasy or heavy. It’s the kind of spot where you finish your meal already thinking about what to try next time.

Mai, the server who helped me, was kind and fast, making sure my order came out exactly as I asked. The food arrived piping hot and full of flavor — especially the salt-and-pepper pork chops, which were perfectly crispy and seasoned just right. The menu offers generous portions at good prices, ideal for a casual meal. Even during lunch rush, service stayed smooth and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed, and everything felt clean and comfortable. From quick takeout to sit-down dining, it’s a place that consistently delivers satisfying dishes and great value. Definitely a local gem that deserves recognition.

I stopped by for lunch recently and left impressed. The menu offers a wide variety of Chinese dishes—classic soups, fried rice, chow fun, and dinner combos that don’t break the bank. The portions are generous, and the flavor is consistently good. I asked for a recommendation and the server “Mai” suggested the salt-and-pepper pork chops; they were crispy and well-seasoned. The staff worked fast even during peak hours, and my order arrived hot with minimal wait. The decor is simple and casual, making it a good spot for a quick, satisfying meal. Highly recommend giving it a try.

To the owner of Ocean Palace: the people that are answering your phones are not nice. I called three times to place an order. I told the lady the first time to hold while I got my credit card and then she hung up. I figured that might be a mistake so I called again only to be hung up on again. I tried a third time and it felt like it was kind of a butt dial because I heard them pick up but nobody said hello. After that I decided to stop trying and I'm not even hungry anymore. They really angered me because I figured I would love to have some Chinese food tonight but now I'm just sick to my stomach.

The food was okay. Good price and they gave good amount of food. I find it the service was not there. I only ordered out. Called in the lady answered the phone, didn’t sound entrusted. Even I picked it up, she didn’t seem to appreciate her business.

Love this little local Asian restaurant. So good and they are always happy to see you. We always order Togo. Great noodles and also orange chicken. Order more than $55 and get either egg rolls or cheese puff’s.

Quantity > QualityThat pretty much sums it up.Probably the least authentic Chinese food I've ever had. Chow Mein has zero flavor and next to no ingredients. I ordered BBQ Pork Fried Rice and they gave me lap chong (Chinese sausage) instead of BBQ pork. Literally the only redeeming quality of this place is the portions. They're huge. Your dollar will go a long way here. Just don't expect actual Chinese food. Maybe I came on an off day. Or maybe the other reviewers never had good Chinese lol. Either way, service is friendly but man, that food! So disappointing...

Pretty pretty pretty good! Loved it.As a field technician I travel the Bay Area, and i love Chinese food. So i try to review every place I go to.This place hits all the check marks!!!I would have given it a 4 1/2 start but that option is not available. Food was really good but not 5 star per say. But for the value it was awesome.Great lunch specialPrice! 12.05 for a chicken Mongolian dish.With rice! Soup and tea! All included.Can’t beat that !!Small family owned business. Small location but clean! Loved it. Wish it was closer to home.Only had one meal here so far do I can’t speak for the rest of the dishes so time will tell if I need to update this review.
