Oriental Palace

May 2nd, 2023

We have visited a number of times, the food and service are reasonable, but to my mind the quality is not quite as good as it used to be, yet the prices have increased. 23pp (rising to 25pp on a Friday and Saturday), plus 3.50 for a pint of soft drink, seem like premium prices, for food that isn't quite on point and decor that's a little tired. While the service was good during our last visit, we were initially charged the adult price for my fiancee's 8 year old daughter (23 instead of 12). If I'm being generous this is at least a careless mistake, at worst opportunistic deceit. Much of the food was good (smoked chicken, capital ribs, satay chicken, sizzling black pepper beef and egg fried rice), but some could have been better. The squid was a little over cooked. Roast pork chow mein was primarily beansprouts and a bit oily. Roast duck with vegetables was anaemic and the fat insufficiently rendered. For similar money you could get a couple of courses at, say, the Duck Inn in Stanhoe. This is admittedly a different cuisine, but the food is significantly better quality, more refined and consistently so.
