Grand Palace Restaurant

Was curious to try it since last new year fair it was packed. So we ordered dimsum, a total of 7 dishes: Sui Mai, baked pork buns, beef and shrimp rice crepes, chicken feet, pork ribs in soy sauce ad Chinese scallion fried dumplings. Of all my fav was th dumplings and least fav the crepes. But over all food was great. Service was OK, I mean our waiter came left the dimsum menu and left no explanation or how the ordering worked. The placed is quite big and spacious and on a second floor so no street bustle and huayle. We pId about $43 for all plus a XinTao beer and a soda. Not bad as it was quite a lot of food. And looking T the other tables the rest of th menu has very generous portions. Will. Come back to try the rest.

Nice looking restaurant. Food was kind of bland on the dim sum. You know it's not california or USA Dim Sum.

We just visited a few times within a week and the experiences were very disappointing compared to before. The karaoke singing system had failed to work properly. Although the owner and the receptionist tried to fix it, but we still had a lot of issues. It did left a pretty bad impression. Then the dim sum were served cold around 10:40am. The portions have gotten smaller, and they used more potatoes and taros under certain dishes to make the plates look bigger. Feels like being scammed and we are paying the same for evidently less value. We definitely won't come back for Karaoke again, and if there are better substitutes for the dim sum, we would try elsewhere. ------ This restaurant has gone through so much... And lately the taste has been the best it's ever been! Hopefully it stays this good (fingers crossed) 😆 --- sometimes the food is over steamed, then it's not as good... hahaha The dim sum for brunch is definitely the best in town right now. Heard it wasn't that great when they just opened, then they finally got some legit mainland Chinese chefs in! You can see tons of Chinese eating here for brunch 😆 They also offer karaoke for booked rooms, where there is a minimum charge of CRC 100,000. Very nice and private if you are looking for entertainment during the gathering. The sharing dishes that the owner recommends are actually surprisingly good!
