This is the sweet & sour Chicken
Marcel S.

This was a Great dinner!! Large portion sizes!!! Will be back to try more of their dishes.. The Egg Rolls are HUGE!!! and LOVE them... The Sweet &Sour Chicken is good.. Large pieces and not overly sweet. The Chicken fried rice is enough for 2 people.

This is the number 3. Sweet  and sour pork soy sauce flavored rice, and some green mushy celery on top of crunchy chips.

The only upside is that this restaurant is open until 11pm. This is how they enticed us into going in. Okay customer service, but food was TERRIBLE. Ive posted photos. Avoid unless you like being duped.

You have to zoom in but at least here's the menu!

Update June 2017 - I am so sad to report that the prices have gone up, the service is terrible and the food quality is hit and miss. :( If you're heading to the beach perchance, go to Viet Hoa. They have bangin Chinese food. This is a place my parents used to go to late night when I was a kid and they are still cranking out great food! The fried rice is served as it should be - with green onions and sliced bbq pork. I LOVE the egg rolls. They are huge and have a strong mix of veggies and baby shrimp inside, with a super crispy shell. The restaurant is definitely a "hole in the wall" so don't expect a fancy place - the bathroom still has the pull down continuous towel thing you don't see anywhere anymore and there is a real working jukebox by the cashier.

Gee Ma Guy ... mmm mmm good

This is my first visit to this vintage Chinese cafe. The food was good and seems all made in-house. The egg roll was giant, unusual and tasty. I have plenty of food for another meal at home. It's a nice mellow place and server was excellent! See y'all next time~

General Tsos Chicken

The service -- the waitresses are very Aberdeen-esque. Lol but very attentive and polite. The ambiance -- ghetto. Nothing matches, everything seems old and cheap. But you can't really expect much more from Aberdeen. The food -- I ordered what I always do at chinese restaraunts, general tsos chicken. I wasn't expecting it to be 5 star food. And it wasnt, but it wasn't bad at all. It was actually quite tasty. The chicken breading was very good and crispy. The sauce was sweet and spicy, but the rice was just cheap white rice, nothing fancy. I've gone here a few times because I'm from Montesano. But I don't LOVE this place.

Just what i needed! Thanks Lindsy!!!

Very good and such a good surprize. Reminds me of my old favorite chinese place in burien, Wah Kues! Im stuffed!

The waitress, Lexi, was very nice. From there it went downhill. My wife ordered Combo E and I got Mongolian Beef. Bland, mushy, and disappointing. The Mongolian Beef was the best. A 2 out of 5 stars. The hot tea was Black tea . . . Not what you expect from a Chinese establishment. The Dinner E had strange "Hot Pocket" sized egg rolls, Mushy Chow Mein, and disgusting spare ribs buried in sauce. The deep fried prawns were decent. In all, this was bad.

The sweet and sour pork, egg roll and chow mein were each their own level of disgusting.

Ocean Palace Restaurant - Egg rolls

The food, the ambiance, and the service were all amazing! The waitress suggested we try the family…read morestyle combination dinner - it was yummy. Huge portions, too. All four of us took home leftovers.

The food was... disappointing, to put it mildly. We ordered the Family Dinner for 3 (25 dollars a…read moreperson by the way!), as well as the crab cream cheese rangoons (6 of them for 13 dollars). The rangoons were chewy, and the filling was weirdly briny and almost stale tasting. Then, we received the appetizer portion of the meal. The egg rolls and potstickers had a sour and stale taste, and the teriyaki chicken was almost tasteless. I didn't bother with the BBQ rib, but my MIL and wife thought they were tough and not worth the effort of eating. The BBQ pork was dry and sour as well, and the fried prawn was gooey inside (?!). Their sweet and sour sauce is gummy and metallic tasting, very strange. After that was the actual meal portion, and... it got worse. The almond chicken was off putting-ly sweet and mushy, the fried rice was overdone and dry, the sweet and sour pork was dry and tough (with more metallic sweet and sour sauce!), and the broccoli chicken tasted like rancid water chestnuts and was horribly salty. For nearly $100, I expected way more. Additionally, the water tasted strange (unwashed cup? bad filtering?) and the hot tea was unpleasantly bitter and needed a lot of sugar (I usually never add sugar to my tea in a Chinese restaurant). The server was very nice, I think she was the owner? The interior was very dated, and incredibly stuffy and hot despite it only being 65 degrees outside.
