We were looking for an ayce hotpot spot in Lowell after a conference and was recommended this place…read moreby a local. We came in between lunch and dinner hours, but chose dinner because it just has more options for $39.99. By more, I mean we can order three kinds of seafood (shrimp, mussels, and calamari) and 2 more cuts of beef. They didn't have much variety on the tablet, but they did have fishballs/quail eggs/veggies/noodles at the self serve bar. Honestly it was pretty pricey for the selection, as well as the time limit they put on us despite the restaurant being pretty empty. I feel it's common for ayce places to have a time limit on eating, but there was a time limit on ordering here too. However, the moment we tasted the broth, that was worth it. I've never had such good tom yum broth at a hotpot place! It definitely elevated the rest of the experience. They also put care into making things look nice, so that's a plus. Our server were pretty clear with time limit and all that, so it wasn't a surprise. Everyone was really nice as well! Overall, a positive experience. My meal was paid for, but if I had to personally pay for this, I don't think I would come for dinner.

Place looks great. Food looks great... on camera only. My review cannot describe the disappointment…read moreI felt while eating here. When my friend said the broth was a bit bland, I didn't think it would taste like WATER?! I should've known something was up when the sauce bar didn't have fresh chili peppers but had chicken bouillon instead. Granted, our waitress was very welcoming and friendly and apologized for the slow service and all that. However, her friendliness will not save the cuisine. They even gave us dessert on the house to make up for things. You think they can mess that up at least, right? Wrong. The mochi ice cream tasted like eating ice cream with hard fondant. The mochi tasted like it had freezer burn for months. I don't even think Chinese folks from Chinatown would approve. I'm sorry but unless the head chef changes, I don't think this place will last very long. I write this review truthfully, as always.

This place is such an amazing spot to have in Lowell. Parking is street parking, and you can pay at…read morethe kiosk or through the Passport app. It really depends on when you go since parking can get a little tricky. Inside, it's very cozy and has that Chinese cafe feel. It's clean, and they also have outdoor seating. My favorite are the individual window seats. I like sitting there and people-watching, though it's not exactly the busiest area for people-watching. Soup dumplings? Yes, please. The skin is slightly thicker than the ones I've had in New York, though they're still great. I never just order one thing here. They have a lot of variety with Chinese appetizers, dumplings, noodles, rice, and even mala hot pot. Do not pass up the braised pork rice bowl if you like hearty, authentic Asian dishes. I keep forgetting this place is here until the weather gets colder or I'm craving dumplings. Overall Service: Always so nice. There was one time I was on-call while dining here and got paged, and they helped box everything up for me to take home. I really appreciated that. Definitely a place I'm glad to have in the area.

I didn't leave the establishment because I was with others who wanted to enjoy the food. The first issue was we couldn't seat where we wanted, it had to be where the waitress or manager decided we were to seat. Not one client in the restaurant. Then she brought the bill before we requested no one was waiting to be seated, then refused to split the bill when previous times with a different server was not a problem. We split the bill to only 2 because thats all she could do, me paying for 4 people she denies my tip amount and says if I don't tip a 18% , theywill charge me $80 extra for a party of 6, again we were only 4 people. I am very disappointed with my service and treatment, unfortunately I don't know the server name but she is one that speaks more English. Will I go back and be bullied into tipping what they want? Probably no.

I was so suprised by how good the pho broth is - it's legit. The broth is piping hot, super flavorful, but still light and not too oily. Prices are good considering the portion size. They have all of the proper toppings & they don't skimp on any of the meats. Service is friendly & the restaurant is spacious. Parking is plentiful - there's a lot right out front. Cash & card are both accepted.

I burned my tongue on tea - but the waitress came right over and gave me iced water. My husband got an entree which he liked, but it was the the beef bone soup that it came with it that he loved. The only thing that really went amiss was my husband got a thai iced tea and it came after the meal to go... which was unexpected. Delicious though. This venue is definitely an event venue most of the time. it's a huge open room with giant round tables. and they were actively taking down an installation on the other side of the room. It's not a bad vibe, and the food is SO good - it's just a little unexpected.

Between 4 people, we got the triple combo app to start which was yummy with sticky rice, beef sticks and papaya salad. For entrees, we ordered a bunch of dishes to share which is definitely the way to go. My favorite had to be the Amok Trey which is a fish coconut curry served in a banana leaf bowl and the Bo Loc Lac, crispy fried beef tips. Both were really tender and super flavorful! For noodles, we got the dry Kuy Tiew Kok, and both the dry and gravy Mee-ka Tahngs and the dry Kuy Tiew Kok was the standout as it was more flavorful in black pepper sauce and the Mee katong noodles just reminded me of flat white pad thai. Overall really solid Cambodian food and I can see why this is recommended in Lowell.

Simply Great! This was our first stop on our trip to Lowell MA. I went to this spot a few years…read moreback on my own, but I wanted to bring my family here as well. Our standouts were definitely the Angkor Wings and the Cha Kreuong. The Angkor Wings had the perfect amount of crispiness and also the perfect blend of sweet and saltiness from the sugar and fish sauce. I liked that the Cha Kreung Sach Muon was made using ground chicken. The flavor mixed well and it was easier to eat than having to chew through larger pieces of chicken. My parents thought the taste was more towards the American pallete, which seemed accurate as my friends who never had cambodian food before liked everything we had. Service was kind and quick. And the ambiance was also clean. My parents noticed the classic cambodian songs playing and was reminiscing of their younger years. Definitely a spot I would come back again.

I can't say that I know much about Cambodian food. But I ordered the waiter's recommendation of…read moretheir special pork intestine dish, and I have eaten a lot of pork intestine! Pork intestine with pickled cabbage here: I think it's prepared really well, and if I have any objections, it might just be my own flavor palette. It's deep-fried first, and also braised, so it's crunchy and sweet, which isn't like any other preparation of pork intestine I've had (most of which have been Chinese). That said, even if it was a bit sweet for me, the pickled greens balanced it out a bit, and the crunch was pretty nice. Came with a pleasant tasting broth too.

Consistently comes through with variety (monthly specials, deep menu, getting deeper), value (lunch…read morespecials give you about 3/4 of a full entree plus the soup, app, and rice), and ease of use (every item is pictured on the online menu; huge parking lot; plenty of seating). Consistency of quality (texture, flavor) is less dependable. -- Hot and Sour Soup: Thick without being gloppy, filled densely with mushrooms, and hot in both the spice and temperature meanings. Simple and satisfying. -- Fish Filet with Green Sichuan Pepper: Had this one again and had the same great experience as described in the previous review. Thin broth but jumping with flavor. -- Twice Cooked Pork Belly 回锅肉 : A longtime favorite with instantly recognizable pork flavor, accented with black beans, and the added light crunch of leeks. It's a great combination. Tried twice during this cycle: once just right, once too fatty. -- Shredded Pork with Tea Tree Mushrooms 肉丝茶树菇 : A late August 2026 special with tender squiggles of pork balanced with sturdier "branches" of mushroom with an earthy flavor and a firm octopus-like texture. Nice balanced savory flavor without any need for heat. -- Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken 四川宫保 : A reliable standby when you want something with heat and flavor, but your dinner companions are not so adventurous. Very tender, a little sweeter than the "American" version and without the celery, but still authentic. -- F10 Fish Fillet in Chili Oil Sauce 水煮鱼 (on a lunch combo): This dish that I often get at night gives you nearly as much quantity on the lunch special, with a choice of soup, choice of rice, and choice of appetizer. Soft, tender boiled chunks in a bright red bath with a pile of red peppers and garlic on top (easy to remove anything you don't want), with cabbage and sprouts underneath. Spicy and best had in winter, but too good to skip in summer. I didn't get the promised numbing sensation this time, but it's a potently flavorful dish and one of my favorite renditions. -- Chicken Wing: Single whole connected wing included with a lunch combo was extra large, breaded, and very crunchy and juicy. No marinade flavor inside, so duck sauce was necessary. -- D03 Crispy Boneless Duck with Vegetables 蔬菜炸鸭 : Large platter of mostly duck, all of it with skin on, and most of it-- but not all of it-- crisp as billed. Minimal vegetation, which is a plus in that it maximizes meat but a minus if it's the only entree you're having. Simple flavor with a simple, thin brown sauce. Satisfying, but average. Interestingly, a taste from a friend's lunch special version of this dish a few weeks earlier had a lot more crisp, a lot more juiciness, and a lot more oomph to the sauce. Might depend on the day. -- F19 Crispy Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet 松鼠鱼 : Twin filets of fish, each about 10" long, boneless, extra extra crispy, and with fish within thin but still tender. The sauce was your typical Polynesian style fire engine red, with more sour than sweet, but nicely done with peas and without glop. A bit pricey but voluminous enough to provide plenty of meals and plenty of value. -- T06 Spicy Dry Pot Tofu 香锅豆腐 : A sauce less dish where the slices do the heavy lifting. Tofu triangles comprise about 80% of the pot, each one dark brown and a bit dry and over cooked. My wife, who's a tofu lover, said it was like chewing on rubber. The ledger shows mixed results from dish to dish and even from visit to visit for the same dish. But when they're on, Sichuan Palace is fabulous enough for a 5 (and some visits are 5). The inconsistency brings them down to a 4 (with some visits 3).
