Restaurants Are Shifting Away From Their Alcohol and Drug-Laden Culture | Eater LA
"I was sorry to see Dragon Palace — which helped serve Santa Monica with reasonably priced kung pao chicken and fried rice — has finally closed as a new development will take over the strip-mall property, forcing other nearby restaurants to shutter as well." - Matthew Kang
Very good experience at The Dragon Palace tonight! Food was exceptional, staff are brilliant, service was perfectly timed, great portion sizes and great interior. Best Chinese Ever! We will definitely be coming back. Thank you! :)

Very good food. Its your typical Cantonese food but of a slightly higher quality. My only disappointment was the Singapore fried rice and vermicelli. There was no sign of any curry paste/powder in any of the two dishes. They were both spicy ( as requested ), but not full of flavour as you'd expect with a Singapore dish. Service charges are off putting. Let the customer decide if they want to tip or not. Service charges make no sense. The only service we received was our food & drinks brought to the table. That's to be expected. Otherwise, it's a must go to restaurant when in West Wales.

Very busy and had a long standing wait. Got seated and waited a while for drinks and a menu which we had asked three times. Menu was sticky so I went to wash my hands but the 2 doors going to the toilet is stupidly very heavy with no warning sign so it closes suddenly and hit my toe. It's left it bleeding and in pain, its also got the blood inside showing. This is really dangerous because if it was fingers they would probably break. The corridor is also small so you have to wait for people. It would be good to have the first door opened with a door stop with a boulder... or replaced with beads/ proper door.
Very noisy. Very polite and caring staff. They often check on you.
Impressed with the soup, they used REAL crab meat which nobody ever does. It tasted great! The duck was plentiful too.
They gave really cute hand wipes at the end that I kept instead because they're too pretty to use.

Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! Food was absolutely spot on, me and all my 4 friends cannot wait to return. My mate with the bad back who could not come definitely missed out! Restaurant is beautiful inside. 10/10

We are staying on a Caravan site and ordered a chinese take away for the first time. We went with Dragons Palace and they were extremely helpful. The food was delicious, one of the best I have ever had. We always pass this Chinese on the way to Tenby and one we will most definitley prder with again. Highly recommend!

Loved it! What a fantastic experience - Restaurant, staff and food were all superb. One of the best Chinese meals I've had and in terms of portion size and quality, it really couldn't be beaten. We over order because we love variety and ended up taking a fair bit home. Highly recommend the salt and chilli ribs.

Great food. Great friendly service. Reasonable price yet they automatically add 10% gratuity to the bill. In our case that was a tenner. To me that's wrong and should be at the discretion of the customer. You can ask them to remove it and then tip what you feel appropriate. The trouble is, we Brits find this embarrassing. Other than that, a lovely dining experience.
