A "fancy" Chinese restaurant with tablecloths and full service, China Palace is a bit on the…read moreelegant side, but the prices don't show it unless you go with the whole lobster appetizer for £22. There are a few other items on the menu that could easily kick you into the stratosphere of spending. As long as you avoid those, all is well. Attentive service from waiters and waitresses dressed in black, the food was good. Hot & Sour soup was good, but a bit salty. I was a little surprised to find both peas and small prawns in there. The Singapore Fried Noodles was a large portion of curried noodles with prawns, red and green peppers and a dusting of sesame seeds on top. I had plenty to take home and it was just as good the next day. Interesting music playing on the hidden speakers. Chinese singers and lyrics, intemixed with... is that Pink singing "So What"? Slightly out of place. Would I return? Maybe. The Dim Sum menu is appealing!

By chance I visited this restaurant for dinner as I was staying in the nearby Penta Hotel, a short…read more2 minute walk away. I was not disappointed. Every dish the waiters brought out was fresh and tasted excellent. Everything from crispy duck to quick fried king prawns, spring rolls and fried rice, BBQ spare ribs and much much more was very very tasty; some of the best Chinese cooking I've enjoyed for a long time. Next time I come to Reading, I'll stay at the same hotel just to be close to this Chinese gem!

There are many Chinese restaurants in Reading, but I think I fell on my feet with this one…read more The restaurant is large with Chinese and Thai dishes off one menu. There is a Buffet Menu option, which is the option I went for: this allows you to pick from a sub-set of the menu and eat as many courses as you like for a fixed price. As long as you keep clearing your plate, they keep sending more food. The price varies depending on the day of the week, it was £12.90 on Wednesday when I visited, a little dearer at the weekend. I stuck with primarily Chinese dishes: a mixed starter (including two types of rib, chop suey rolls, chicken satay); crispy duck with pancakes; crispy chilli beef and chicken with noodles. A couple of glasses of a reasonably cheap (£4) Merlot washed it down nicely. I'm sure there are probably better Chinese restaurants in the area, but the food was tasty, generally well prepared and the staff friendly and helpfull. My only complaint is that the mixed starter was a little too cool. Great value for money and recommended.

I can't say I hated this restaurant, but it didn't really have anything decent that encourages me…read moreto visit again. We went last winter, yet they stuck the air con on high that we kept our coats on all the way through the meal. Service was slow and some of our food was warm at best. It's a shame, as it looks like a lovely upmarket chinese on the outside. Perhaps if my expectations hadn't been so high, I wouldn't have been quite so disappointed.
