The lighting in this place is amazingly dark!! But the food is very good. I was lured into this restaurant because I had seen that they had Salt & Pepper Wings on their menu. This item is hard to find in South Jersey, and every place seems to make it different. The ones I had here were very good. I chose a lunch entree, shrimp lo mein, which was delicious. The meal was pretty large, so I only wound up eating half. There's also a small bar at the entrance, and a drink specials menu on the tables. This was a very nice experience. read more

The restaurant from the outside looks like a stereotypical take out place but inside it had a nice decor! The wonton soup was very good with well-seasoned wontons, the spare ribs were very meaty and my dining companion and I thoroughly enjoyed our main courses. We were there quite early and the service was very good; think it would have been even if we had been there a little later. read more

This is located in a shopping center where ShopRite is on WHP. We Love the sushi here and the service. Drinks are pretty decent and great prices. My son loves the fried rice. read more

I have been going here for years everything I order is awesome. I usually get either sesame chicken, SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI , SHRIMP AND CHICKEN LOMAIN (my two faves & fried chicken and fried rice as well as shrimp tempura rolls it's so good ! read more

can believe i have still been eating here considering their terrible heath score. they served me unripped food on multiple occasions, they're money hungry. read more

Don't be fooled by the location, food is excellent if you are looking for reliable good tasting Chinese and/or Sushi. We ate in and it was clean and nice atmosphere. Service was good as well. read more

Consistently great, fresh food. Drinks are incredible, served by the best bartender Jenny who always has a smile on her face read more

Don't let the outside of the restaurant fool you, it looks like a dinky takeout chinese place, but the inside bar and dine in area is quite the opposite. I've lived in the barrington area for 18 years, I used to just order takeout (very good food) but u decided recently to try dine in with some friends. The food is brought out in a timely manner, the drinks are strong and fairly priced, and the food is decent for the money you are paying. If you are expecting full service and someone checking on you every 5 minutes do not come here, if you are looking for a nice quiet place to get dinner and drinks with friends for cheap do come here. I now dine in at least once every 2 weeks and even come alone!!! highly recommend for anyone looking for a chill night out on a budget! and definitely check out their lunch specials (3 sushi rolls for 13!!) unbeatable. read more

I spent 45.15 at the Oriental Palace in lawnside, and they forgot to send the gravy and sweet and sour sauce with the order. Not a problem, called back and ask for my sauce and gravy. Which has happened more then once. Also asked for a large gravy instead of the small for the inconvience. They sent a small! I called back and spoke with the mgr who said the small gravy comes with the meal, sorry. Nevermind the fact that I received my meal in parts. Let's take it as a 45.00 lasting experience! There's a lot of Chinese restaurant in this area. It doesn't pay to be too tight! 1 customer less. I hope it was worth the large gravy! LOL read more

This place was great! I love egg rolls and the shrimp roll was excellent, fresh and crispy. The edamame were good, not my thing but we had a free app coupon for it. Crispy noodles were freshly made and light. We had sizzling steak that came out sizzling, steaming and popping. Delicious I had the Thai mango shrimp and it was sweet and tastey, not spicy at all. Everything was fresh and very good. Our waitress helped us decide with her recommend selections. They also have a full bar and large drink selection. Don't be fooled by the outside appearance, this place is really good!! read more

Lunch was amazing!!!! I will be returning. I enjoyed the eel sauce specifically. The wonton soup and salad were very taste. Everyone present ordered different things and agreed that they deserved 5 stars. Also, when I checked in it granted me a free order of edamame. They were also tasty. read more

Quiet but the food was excellent. Wish they would bring the full bar back, but I get it!!

I just walked out of this place very frustrated and can't believe how rude the workers there are. I went in. Was there for about 10 minutes then ask if someone's working upfront the guy in the back says someone will be out in a minute. I wait another 10 minutes when someone finally comes out, he says someone will be with you in a minute and yell's in a nasty tone to wait one minute how rude is that not only was it rude but the tone of his voice just made me walk right out. I will not spend money at a place where I'm being talked to rude and not only that but also being made to wait close to 20 minutes when they decide that they wanna come out to take care of their customer Horrible will never go there again read more

Order my sushi from here. Great food. Great service. Great customer service. & a great atmosphere and beautiful and clean inside.

Food was great sushi prices are fair as well as their beer prices, it was nice to get the free edamame with check in on yelp. But they charge a dollar for each thing of spicy mayo bringing it down to 4 stars Also sad that it is take out only right now read more

My go to for sushi and wings. The twin tower rolls are my favorite. Friendly staff and although I've never dined in, I love how the place is set up. read more

Been going to and loving OP for at least 25 years and stood by they through all their changes from a great buffet to what it is now. Eat In at least once a week and love their Tokyo Tea _ try it so better than LIIT. But last night just too tired to go and made HUGE MISTAKE ordering online and some app got involved that marked up prices. What I do know is that a LARGE order of boneless pork ribs - was delivered as a LARGE ORDER of broccoli with a shallow layer of pork bits. So disgusted by that - it will be a long-time until I return. read more

Food is great! Salt and pepper chicken is recommended. Place does a high volume of carry out but worth a restaurant visit

This place is a small, unassuming spot, in a large, mostly closed strip mall. But every time i go there, people are so kind and friendly, we often order take out and they get it right every time. So much so, that I once forgot to ask for the sauce my daughter prefers on her noodles, and the employee actually called me to double check my order was correct! We don't even order that often, but to know they take the time to remember and ensure we're happy, means a lot. It's a great lil spot for a quiet dinner out and they have great specials too! One of our fav places to go. read more

Delicious sushi- always fresh. Beautiful place inside. Service is excellent and consistently food is delicious. The sushi is SO fresh! I'm updating this with another visit and more pictures. This is a sweet potato roll and the Anniversary and Samarai roll. I forgot to mention sushi is 50% off Monday through Thursday! read more

Excellent food. Clean place. First time here tried their Chinese food but will be back to try sushi and hibachi. Nice to find an Asian place that you can dine in. read more

One of the better Chinese take out places in the Lawnside area. They also offer Japanese and Thai items which I haven't tried. Not sure why they don't offer dine-in meals and their bar area appears to be closed. read more

General Chos chicken... tiny bits of chicken in a too crispy crust and way over fried. Thick gravy that was too sweet. Yellow pork fried rice? What? Egg rolls were decent. read more

This place is 5 mins from my house, yet I haven't been there in about 15 yrs. Back then it was an all you can eat buffet, run by an older couple, & it was really good food. Once they stopped running it, the food wasn't as good anymore & we stopped going. Well tonight we decided to check it out. The inside was pretty nice & the service was good. They used to have really good cocktails, so I got the Mai Tai, but it wasn't great, not something I would order again. All of our food was good! We will definitely be going back. Good Chinese food is hard to find. They also have Thai, Sushi, Hibachi. read more

Welp. As dingy as the place looks on the outside they make pretty solid food‍. They're a little on the expensive side but they give you your moneys worth. Sushi is great also. read more

When we order Chinese food this is our go to place and we always do takeout. The food is your basic Chinese menu and does not disappoint. They also offer Japanese food which we haven't tried because I have a preference for restaurants solely offering Japanese. The House Special fried rice or low mein could be a meal by themself. One unique entree item is the shrimp with soybean sauce however, I suggest you eat it that day because it become very soggy when reheated. They have to go alcoholic drinks if you desire as it was decided not to reopen the bar area post Covid. The ambiance of the dine in area looks nice and they most likely have a sushi bar. If in the area I would that you give them a try. read more

Such a hidden gem in the shopping center. Beautiful inside and peaceful music to enjoy dining in. It felt like a spa with the light music and low lighting, great place for a date. Great food. We had the spicy crab roll, wonton soup, sesame chicken and beef and garlic sauce. Our waitress was great and attentive, we never needed anything and only had to wait a few minutes for food. Definitely recommend ! read more

I thought this place was one of those run in the mill Chinese store take out. I was mistaken. My son and daughter in-law invited my old lady and myself to this place. I'm not a Oriental foody type of guy. I have to say. The inside was very nice and the food on everyone plate at my table was looking very good . The drinks were very strong and good too. I will say time and time again. Don't judge a book by is cover. . Employees on point. Food was very great. If you happen to be in the area try it out. read more

Great food! Consistently the best sushi and Chinese food available in the area. You won't be disappointed.

Great food! We ordered ahead and took home! Spicy wings and authentic tasting Asian cuisine! We had salt and pepper wings, Lomein, wonton soup! All delicious! Will return and maybe even to eat in the restaurant! read more

Well, well, well, what do we have here? A don't judge a book by it's cover restaurant. Oriental Palace is located in the corner end of a dreary strip mall. The outside of the restaurant looks dark and lonely. Though, when we went inside, we were pleasantly surprised. The decor is modern and they have a full service bar. (we noticed quite a few people eating at the bar). We usually don't like to dine at Asian restaurants that serve multi-cuisine (Chinese/Japanese/Thai, etc.) because more often than not, one of the cuisines usually takes a hit on the suckyness scale. (usually the sushi). Libations: they serve signature drinks, beer and they have a small Sake offering. I had a few Mai Tai's, they were very good! Kate was in the mood for Reisling. We decided to try the Japanese and stick with all sushi rolls. The sushi was fresh. The rolls were made tight. The rice was okay but it did not have the proper vinegar kick like the Sagami or Fuji restaurants. The 'Paradise' roll was VERY GOOD. It was topped off with small tempura flakes that added a tasty dimension to it. Other notables were the 'Torch' and the 'N.Y. Rainbow' roll. (they were not over sauced) I believe the have a sushi bar. I didn't see a Omakase offering. The sushi was fresh enough that I will try the Sashimi next time (as a true test of quality/freshness). The server was proficient but not the most friendly (she kind of looked sad and indentured). Our water glasses were continuously refreshed. The prices were reasonable. They seem to do a booming take-out business. I'm looking forward to returning so I can try some of the Chinese offerings. A solid 3.5 stars. read more

A friend suggested this place so we double-dated last night. You'll drive by it. You'll realize this and turn around. You'll see it sitting all by its lonesome in a corner of a strip mall. You'll be leery, but you'll see the plentiful cars parked outside, and the busy bar which is part of the restaurant. (The bar is happening apparently, maybe not if you're younger, but still.) It's surprisingly nice inside. Clean, pleasant. Out waitress was very nice. I tried the Bloody Mary, and it was horrible, but I dumped a lot fo salt and pepper on it and got it down. The food was excellent. Between the four of us, we must have ordered 12 different rolls. Everything was very tasty. They currently have a half priced sushi list from Monday-Thursday, so it also didn't break the bank. I can't wait to go back. One star deducted for the Bloody Mary, but I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. read more

Looks like a hole in the wall Chinese take out place from the outside, you would miss it tucked in an old plaza off the white horse pike. They have good sushi and the best shrimp tempura rolls!! Delicious... but walk quickly and enter before you smell Rochesters BBQ a few stores down (read my review) if you smell that, you might not be able to resist!! read more

This place is the best sushi place in south jersey! It looks like a dive restaurant bar located in a shopping center but this place rocks! The drinks are great for the price! The ambiance is awesome ! Tea led candles on each table which are all booths. Very comfy with Asian / r&b music playing :) it's just an awesome place ! read more

Oriental Palace - I had the dragon rolls & hubby had the shrimp & salmon rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lawnside, New Jersey

Take out review: I ordered Tako Su (thin slices of octopus in ponzu sauce) it was nothing to rave about. The rolls were actually pretty decent. Ive tried the Fantasy roll (tuna, avocado, masago), shrimp tempura roll, spider roll, and spicy yellowtail. My order was ready at the specific time i asked for. I would probably order sushi here again. read more

I have ordered from here many times (and left good reviews!) But this past experience left a bad taste in my mouth (literally and figuratively) After the food did not arrive an hour later I called just to be sure my grub hub order went through. (I have had some questionable experiences with other locations) the woman told me the order went through, but because it was raining he was late. No apology, just an attitude. So I wait 40 more minutes and it finally arrives. Of course it was a cold soggy mess, no apology or anything. I should have turned it down. They do have good food, but it's always late, just never this late. I'm not so sure I will order again. read more

We walked in waiting at the entrance for at least five mins before we had to search for someone to help us. We get help finally and they were going to place an order for us at the door not asking us if we wanted to dine in. We wanted to be seated so he sat us, handed us menus and walked away. We sat for like 3 mins and walked out. There was no explanation of the menus which didn't have that much of a selection. But also for absolutely no one else being in the restaurant besides us the waiter hadn't showed up we never even met the waiter terrible service would not reccomend need better management. read more

I am a sushi addict. I decided to try this restaurant based on the reviews. I prefer sashimi. I found the menu of fish very limiting, as I was looking for squid and scallop which were not even on the menu. I did however, try the birds nest roll and it was absolutely delicious I asked for a cup/ glass of saki and was presented with a small bottle. I was advised the glass was not available yet offered on the menu My waitress tried too hard to be attentive and I just wanted to relax Miso soup was average but portion large Think I will pass on this restaurant read more

I love this place for two reason. You get what you pay for. The price is right Mon-Thurs half off sushi rolls and the sushi is on par or better than most places in Jersey. As long as this place is around it will be our go to spot! read more
