I got married at White Palace in April 2026 and had an exceptional experience planning my wedding with them. Kevin, Tuân, and Trieu answered all our questions clearly and helped us achieve our dream wedding. I am Vietnamese, and my husband is not, so they made accommodations to find menu items that would serve a multicultural guest list. The prices were very fair and transparent, and the 9 course menu was delicious. White Palace also decorated the restaurant for us and provided meaningful special touches like a champagne tower, special effects for the first dance, and a decorated sweetheart table. The restaurant and their staff made us feel valued and made our wedding shine. While doing wedding research, other venues had hidden charges while White Palace was all inclusive and reasonable. My only suggestion is that they should slice thinner cake slices. They sliced large slices so some of my guests did not receive cake while the guests who got cake didn't finish theirs. I would gladly recommend White Palace to anyone who is planning a wedding. read more

This review is long overdue. This restaurant used to be my favorite go to Chinese restaurant. The dim sum at Seafood Cove2 is totally overrated and the crowd there made it very stressful so I used to come here, Seafood Paradise for dim sum in a relaxed atmosphere. In December 2023 my sister who lives in HB harbor claimed this resto was too far for her but finally decided to have a big Christmas Birthday party and invited 30, 40 people, the manager was not there and my usual server was not there either so I asked and was shocked at the news although I expected it, the new owner told me he had closed on the purchase that day and would change the name to White palace but he would keep the chef and the manager David but that was not the case. To me the best Chinese restaurants were Furiwa and Seafood Paradise. It was sad they failed to understand that w today economy dominated by social medias and if they do not follow the trend, they would be out of business, I told David the manager but he was so confused about what I was talking about. Bad restaurants that spent money on social medias thrived beyond comprehension. My sister ordered the usual wedding menu, 10 courses w lobster, steamed fish, etc..I knew immediately it was a new chef, the lobster was flavorless, almost every course was bland but many people I know have hay fever and with severe sneezing sometimes they lose their sense of taste on top of being born w less taste buds, it can be a curse to have too many taste buds as I was skinny all my life from not being able to enjoy eating till I started cruising when in the old days, cruise ship chefs were of Michelin caliber. My sister threw another big bash on Chinese/VN new year 2-10-2024, again 10 courses dinner and again everything was bland, there was not even enough salt in the food. I made no comment when asked bc everybody seemed to like it so who was I to say anything and I wanted to support the new owner, the service was great so that was a plus. I came by many times for dim sum and was disappointed the menu was limited, my favorite items were no longer offered. On 1-18-2026 my cousin had a big party, she is the Cai Luong singer and impresario, if my count was correct there were 20 tables, 200 attendants and many performers. Unfortunately for $60 to $75 pp, they could only offered 5 courses as they had to pay the performers. Needless to say, I could only eat the walnut shrimp and fried fish, the fried rice was not at all edible, what were they thinking? no salt, very little egg, I sure did not get fat!. I think 3 stars are generous as I was frustrated w the meal, I had no idea what the lead singer was singing/screaming about so loud in Saigonese! Lol! The dude was a VN version of Liberace!. I was there to keep up w long lost relatives, I sadly found out one had just died and I was not able to find out what happened bc the sound system was not functioning properly, it was blasting so loud, I was almost deaf in both ears! It was impossible to know what all the performers were saying. The manager if you read this please fix it, I have no idea how any wedding can take place w zero sound system unless it just went kaput on that one day. I'll tell my cousin to check on this before booking here again. I can't believe they also bought another restaurant on Edinger, Santa Ana, maybe it's just me but I don't like the all white chairs and table, I worked all my life in hospital and I'm not a fan of all white furniture, The old Seafood paradise had beautiful romantic looking pink flowers, table cloth and beautiful comfortable chairs. I'm glad they seem to be doing great, good for them, I'm not going back here but I plan to go to their 2nd resto. Unfortunately HB and Little Saigon do not have very good Chinese restaurants, I miss Hong Kong and all the 5 stars hotel ayce buffets in, I'm looking forward to my VN trip w all the good food unfortunately Yelp has no presence in VN. My camera always eats first, I have about 10,000 pictures of food in my IPhone from all my cruises and trips around the world, I enjoy looking and relive all my culinary experience. Pl come back for my future review of the White palace #2. read more

This is not a dim sum restaurant, they only do private events. They need to post that they no longer offer walk in dining. We came here only to find out they no longer offer a walk in restaurant. Bummer! read more

We hosted our great big Vietnamese wedding here and had the most amazing time!! The food was delicious, our friends and family are still raving about it. (I'm still dreaming about the sea bass). Also don't get me started on the dance floor. The lights and the sound system make it feel like a night club?! Excuse me, wow! Trieu and Tony were so accommodating and responsive the entire planning process. How do I get married here every weekend? Thank you Trieu and Tony for having us and making it a dream event. read more

No longer a dim sum restaurant, arrived to try this location for the first time and was told that they no longer offer dim sum.

Good service, but as for food taste, I would say it's average. This used to be the Seafood World location. My parents liked the fried items as it was freshly fried. We ordered a lot of dishes to try and nothing stood out for me... hence average. They currently have a 10% off sale on Monday- Friday. We went on Prez Day and I was surprised they offered the discount. That was nice and I just increase the tip. Easy parking. Comfortable space as it is a wedding venue also. read more

My gf and I decided to try something new today other than Seafood Cove. I don't remember how expensive seafood cove is but white Palace is pretty expensive. We only spent $40 for five items. It was an interesting place as it was also a wedding venue at night. Pretty smart though if you ask me because at least are utilizing the morning times for dim sum Service wise was very fast there wasn't that many people and all the cart aunties came flocking in. They're all really nice though and I got to book Cantonese with him Flavor wise it was actually pretty good. We got: - Xiu Mai - Pretty solid and lots of flavor. 5/5 - Ha Cheurng / Shrimp Roll - I liked it a lot as it was a THICC BOI but my gf prefers the thinner rice rice layer. 5/5 - Cha Siu Bao / BBQ Pork Bun - 3/5 only because it was cold but filling was solid. Well air fry these later for a snack - Tripe - Standard and pretty tender! 4/5 - Shurn Jok Guurn/ Tofu Skin Wrapped thingy - It actually had a beef filling rather than a mushroom filling. 4/5 Overall, if I didn't want wait in line and I had a big party with me I wouldn't mind coming here. Parking is better than Seafood Cove madness and there are hella tables available. Bathrooms are very clean as well! read more

When you come on a prime Saturday morning during a holiday weekend, and there's only 4-5 occupied tables and the cart ladies loitering about, that's a red flag. We have gone to all the best dim sum places both locally in OC and the epicenter in Monterey Park. But we just wanted something local to a family menber's house a street away and there were 11 of us. Wow, the carts came out hawking their wares with a vengeance. Nothing was over cooked or mushy/oversteamed (except for the chicken feet and tofu skin pork) as other reviewers declared, but there was a lack of flavor and depth that left us wanting more. I haven't had dim sum in at least a year and would've been happy with a B. But it's a C- for me and the tables. We could barely finish what we chose. The temperature of all were definitely on the lukewarm side as if they were on the cart for quite awhile waiting for patrons. I'm sure they want events to keep their big banquet space operating, so the dim sum is an afterthought. But they need to step up their kitchen to compete with the plethora of places within driving distance. This place was not memorable and barely tolerable, especially for the price points. read more

We just had our daughter's wedding at White Palace 1. The entire experience from reservation to wedding day went smoothly. Kevin explained everything clearly and was excellent to work with. Staff responded quickly to any problems that came up. We are happy with service, food, and ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant for weddings. read more

Where do I begin... we had our wedding here, we've catered from here, and we go out for dim sum here all the time! We have always been met with fair prices, amazing staff with great service and hospitality, as well as amazing food! The shumai & har gow are always the first to go when we order catering or eat dim sum there with the family. For our wedding, they decorated it soooo nicely I didn't even have to pay for any extra florals (besides the bare necessities). They always do an amazing job with any request. Highly highly recommend! read more

We had our wedding reception party here, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! I highly recommend this venue, the place was stunning, very clean, and elegantly decorated, complete with a beautiful flower photo backdrop. The staff were incredibly professional, kind, and attentive to every detail. The coordinator manager, Mr. Trieu, was especially kind and patient. We had a few meetings before the party date, and I really appreciated how he took the time to help us plan everything and answer all of our questions. On our big day, the staff helped set up everything included decorations, tables, wine, gifts, and more since we didn't have time to do it ourselves. The food was delicious and even more affordable than other venues, and they provided free appetizers too! We received so many compliments about the food after the party. We were so happy and couldn't have asked for a better experience. It truly made our wedding unforgettable! Highly recommend! read more

Before I start if I can give White Palace 7 STARS I would!!! This review is based on event planning and Tony from White Palace was on point from our first communication. Once we decided on the date and location he added Trieu to the conversion and he was amazing. I had some questions about the venue and Trieu was always there to answer my questions and go above and beyond to make this event perfect! The day of the party 9/19 he arrived to a beautiful venue with everything we asked for in place! The setting on the table and table setup was perfect! The servers all knew what to do and it all worked like clockwork! What really blew me away was the FOOD! Everything came out looking amazing and it tasted great too! The portions White Palace gives is second to none and I've never been to a wedding or party and had so much food! The dishes all tasted great and the honey walnut shrimp was probably one of the best we've had. All the guest the came kept on saying how much of a great time they had and how good the food look and tasted. We definitely will be hosting here again in the future. read more

This spot used to be called Seafood World and was rebranded to White Palace. We came for dim sum during Sunday lunch and there was an event going on next door. In terms of the dim sum, everything was pretty standard and good. However, service was pretty slow because they were busy. A lot of us at our table had to flag down servers multiple times for water. The restaurant is big but only a smaller section is usually open to the public due to the constant events going on next door. Overall, I have no complaints about the food but I also think there wasn't anything that really stood out. I think its a fair alternative to Seafood Cove and would come back if I wanted to beat long waits and grab some quick dim sum. read more

This is a nice spot for a simple dim sum. The staff is nice and attentive. The service is excellent. The interior is mostly white with cute decorations and there's a spot for photos. Besides the basic dim sum dishes, there's quite a few that are exceptional. read more

The service is prompt but the food quality was bad at White Palace. Parking is also tight and not the easiest. I visited with my mom on a Sunday morning dim sum lunch. The place wasn't that packed and the restaurant had just opened. Oddly, the food was either tepid, or actually frozen inside, or overcooked. There was no in-between. Every steamed items were basically overcooked and blasted in the basket. So shumai, har-gow and rice crepes all fell apart. The inside part were all overcooked -- think chewy dry shrimp and tough shumai meat sans skin. The congee was also really disappointing. It was tepid and had no duck eggs or anything in it. It was just spoonful of dry shredded chicken. I am hopeful I can find a better dim sum place than this in the future. For the 7 plates of food we ordered, the bill came to $80+ w/o tip. Definitely not worth it in my opinion. Suggestions are welcome. read more

My husband and I couldn't be more happy to have chosen White Palace for our wedding venue. The staff/coordinators are very friendly and accommodating.

Everything was decorated tastefully. read more

Came here on New Year's Day around 11am with no wait. Plenty of tables inside. The service was very attentive with great options for dim sum plates. The ladies with the dim sum carts make their away around a few times for you to grab anything you would like. The quality can be better in my opinion but was still good. Price is reasonable. I would say if Seafood Cove 2 down the street has a long wait, head over to White Palace! read more

I had my wedding on December 26, 2025 at White Palace 1 in Westminster, from the time signed a contract agreeing on the price and the food. It was very smooth. The staff was very accommodating in assisting with what I want. Thank you to Kevin who help us signed the contract and explaining about the menu we did have some changes in our menu. I chose a lobster salad, which was excellent and I also chose the lobster tails and switching a few dishes to the way I want it. Kevin was very helpful and accommodating to the menu I want. On the day with the wedding the set up was just like the way I wanted, which I was very happy about. Trieu is one of the manager there he was very nice and helpful and accommodate all my requests. It is a great place place if you choose to do birthday party, hiding or any special occasions I would recommend this place. Overall, for me is a five stars. Matter of fact, I am trying to book distance again for my birthday in July. read more

On one of the mornings I craved dim sum, the places I knew had long waits. Then I came across this one! I'm surprised not many people know about this place, but it is also a rebrand from Seafood World. We were able to order off the menu as well as from the carts. I LOVED their chrysanthemum tea! The food was good, but definitely missing some of my go-to items I would usually get. Nonetheless, it wasn't too busy and service was pretty quick. I'd come back to try again! read more

Had dimsum and also attended a company event here, the foods were good, not super impressed but not bad. The dimsum ladies in the morning are all very friendly and nice, they speak Chinese and Vietnamese well. I think foods at the dinner banquets were better than the dimsum. read more

2.18.24 This seems to be our go to spots for Dim Sun in garden grove. Use to be Seafood World, which has been here for where some time, decades. Now it's White Palace. Currently offering 10% off bill since it's soft opening stage. There dim sum offering is pretty good. Din sum is fresh and associate are nice friendly and attentive. Coming around with the din sum cart sporadically. Dim sum availability is great. Came on a Sunday noon. Wait time was about half and hour. They were pretty busy also the restaurant was closed more than 75% of the restaurant. Due to a Lunar New Year celebration it seems. It was nicely decorated with white curtains on the wall. Nice white chalvari chairs for seatings. Parking is a bit hard. Hit or miss since it's in a plaza with a super market too on the far corner. Same plaza also with 7 Leaves Tea. read more

Loved the shrimp in tofu skin on their dim sum menu. Attended a party there where they served 8 courses like at a wedding. 7 out 8 courses were yummy. The fried fish at the end was drenched in a very salty sauce; perhaps serve it with a side of the sauce. read more

We recently hosted our wedding reception at White Palace Restaurant in Westminster, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The team went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. The staff were so professional, friendly, and attentive -- everything ran seamlessly, and they made us feel completely taken care of. The food was outstanding -- every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and loved by all our guests. From the appetizers to the main courses and desserts, everything was fresh and delicious. We received so many compliments about how amazing the meal was! The venue itself was elegant and spacious, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the celebration even more special. The White Palace team truly exceeded our expectations -- we couldn't have chosen a better place for our wedding. Highly recommend for any event or celebration! read more

Horrible food, great service. Came for dim sum and really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, dim sum was so disappointing. One of the worse I've had. Couldn't even eat beyond the first bite of each dish just to try. Service was very attentive and friendly. read more

I usually go to this place when the other dim sum spot is busy but today was not it. First, we got seated really far out so we had to yell or wave our hand to get their attention. Next is the the dirty teapot, can't tell if they just reused their teapot, and it's the food. Sometimes it's a hit or miss where the food is hot or it's just straight cold. My hargow that I ordered was given to me cold so the server asked "do you want me to microwave for you" LOL LIKE WHAT??? Microwave my hargow will just make the dough taste all dry would have been better in giving a new one especially when they try to make this place look like fine dining. But yeah know, service is probably not the strong point here. So yeah just come here when you have no other better options. read more

Dim sum is always a good idea, especially for a Saturday brunch! My family was a big group of 10 and were seated quickly and served food super fast. The place is huge and looked like it was decorated for an upcoming wedding which is nice. Food was pretty average, but hit the spot. The fried wontons with shrimp in it were the star of the show, my mom even ordered another round for the table. read more

Definitely cheaper than booking American venues! read more

Came back after a very long time and a lot of things changed. They redecorated the place, and like its name it's like a white palace inside. However, food does not taste good anymore.

I wanted to check out a different dim sum spot and discovered this place. It is part of a venue space where they host events. There was no menu for the food, only the employees were pushing the dim sum carts and you order from them. We got different items and the food was okay. I expected different dishes but they seem to have a limited options for the dim sum. I would enjoy this place if they had a set menu and added more items to the dim sum. read more

We enjoyed our first visit. Love the white atmosphere, the dim sum was great, staff were attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend checking this place out for dim sum cuz it was relaxing and NOT crowded on a wet Saturday 11am. The only thing is MAYBE the prices are higher a bit, HOWEVER, I think the less chaos and less wait for legit dim sum was worthwhile. Try them out and you decide. read more

Good dim sum. Went here on a random Thursday afternoon. To our surprise they serve dim sum until 3 pm which is pretty late. They serve dim sum that late so anybody who wakes up late can still get a taste of dim sum when most other places would stop serving at the time. All the dishes were really good. I'd recommend getting the baked bao. And the shui mai was really good too! read more
