    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!
