The Palace Seafood & Dim Sum

Great place to have a large family birthday party in the banquet room. Our 92 year old birthday girl can hear conversations in the room. Sing songs, good food, good service. Room is just right for 12 people in a round table with several elderly. We tried many dishes we usually don’t order from recommendations and they were all good. Will be back.

It’s a good spot to eat dimsum without having to drive to SGV or anywhere far. The roasted duck is a hit or miss - not always consistent. Today they totally hit it. The skin was crispy and the meat was fresh.

Went for a private 90th birthday banquet on a rainy day. Food was excellent and service was great. We were in a private room so the elderly can hear the conversation and enjoyed the dinner. We have been to this place since 2012 for lunch, dinner, and home delivery. We only have 9 people but it was way too much food for us. We were all very happy to take a lot of food home. Sorry forgot to take photos for other dishes. They offer several different banquet set with different prices.

Nice clean place for dim sum on the West side. The only issues I have are the valet parking and the prices for the items. For the same price, I could get twice as much food at other Chinese restaurants. Maybe the rent is too high? The orange chicken was bit too sweet, and the chicken meat was sliced too thin. I actually liked the sauteed spinach, which was cooked just right and then portion was very generous. It was chewy yet soft. Black bean sauce oysters we're decent, but not enough oysters. The dim sum dishes were pretty good, but the prices were a bit steep for each item. The servers were okay, although they didn't speak much English. I liked the fish in the tank as soon as you walk in. The free peanuts were the best.

This has to be the best dim sum place on the west side. The sticky rice balls, and the pork and shrimp Shumai are delicious. If you feel like having something spicy and I mean spicy, try one of my favorite dishes here, Szechuan chicken. It’s hot, not for beginners.

I lived 3 years in China so I know Chinese food very well. This place is authentic and they welcome you with Jasmine tee and peanuts 🥜 The portions are really big for a decent price. The taste is good, the roasted duck is good but very bony. The garlic scallops is good. Service is ok and they are very kind and friendly but the place closes early i.e. at 9:00 pm so you will be most probably sitting and eating alone after 8:30. You get a cup of mango custard and a fortune cookie without fortune with your bill 🥠😄

We just heard Palace closed down and we are so heartbroken! If the owners ever reopen we want to support. We have loved Palace so much. It became a comforting staple in our household. Our favorite dishes were the dry style chow fun, chicken potstickers, spicy squid with salt, shrimp har gow, baked custard bun and more. This place will always be in our hearts! Sending love to the employees that were a part of making these beautiful and delicious dishes!

The place is nice and big. Great dim sum, fast service, lots of great food to pick. The prices are great, it is usually really busy. Staff is wonderful, fast, helpful. A must try, bring friends, family Co workers ECT. THEY WILL LIVE IT......

Came here for Christmas dinner with the family! We were happy to find something open and they were definitely super super busy when we went. The dimsum here was pretty good, albeit definitely on the pricier side. We also had an order of the crispy duck which my hubby and my uncle loved. Duck skin was perfectly crispy and the mantou that came with it was delicious too! The normal roast duck was a little too tough for us though. Food came at a good timing, and the ambiance was just like any other Chinese restaurant. Not sure if we'd be back, as there wasn't anything crazy good BUT it did make for a good hearty meal.

What could improve? Service! I've been coming to this place for years. The dim sum is ok and a bit pricey, but this is the only choice on the Westside and a great treat for the family. Today I brought a guest from out of town and we were the first guests in the restaurant just after they opened at 10. The food was served fairly quickly but nobody came to check on us for about an hour, then a little after 11, a server comes over and asked if we needed anything. We said we're still finishing up the mass of food we ordered. He then told us that there is a 1-hour limit per table. I thought I misheard him, and gave him a quizzical look at which point he said, "you have 1 hour to eat". At this point, the place was only about 1/3 full. There were more empty tables than people and we had ordered enough items that when I asked for boxes, they brought us 6 boxes and a soup container. I understand if they were busy and had people waiting, they could prod us along with the check and ask if we need to box things up. But to come over and just tell us we've exceeded the time limit (which I did not see posted anywhere) while the place is mostly empty just feels harassment and bad business. I've been a long time customer and was just here for a banquet dinner recently and now I won't be coming back.

My dad -the foodie. Who always dragged us as kids to Chinatown to eat Chinese food ( we were bored and had little appreciation of thist) This is my dad's favorite Chinese restaurant. A hidden treasure. My boyfriend asked my dad how long he's been eating there and my dad said he's been going there for 15 years - a couple of different owners, but the quality of the food has always stayed the same. We went to dinner last night. I didn't have the heart to tell him, but I had gone earlier that morning lol to get dim sum. Yeah, my dad goes there all the time. He said he took about 9 people for a class he was teaching there earlier the week. We've had countless big gatherings there over the years. There are two private rooms that can be made to a big private room. I think one family dinner was for about 40 people. The food is amazing, I'll get to that in a sec. Wanted to mention the service is awesome. I don't mean it as a slight, but if I have to describe the service I would say they are efficient and quick. When other restaurant stops to chat and talk. Not here. Quick to see things like - four of us order wine - "Get a bottle" Gary instructs. Last night he asked how many were joining us. One more and a child we say. He tells us we've ordered enough. lol .... So my go to is the dim sum. I love the har gow and shui mai. That's the shrimp and pork dumplings. There is a rice shrimp roll that is very good. Egg rolls great. My boyfriend's favorite is the spicy fried calamari - it is fried (everything fried is gotta be good!) has jalapeño, green onion. It was SO good, we ordered it twice yesterday. It is actually is "squid w/ spicy salt" on the menu. I can sell it to my caucasian boyfriend better if I call it "spicy fried calamari." I also like their soups - their fish maw with crab meat soup is wonderful. I also love their chicken and shrimp with pine nuts lettuce cups. I couldn't also order those dishes because as I said Gary told us we had already ordered too much. When I go with my dad, it is a feast. We got the Peking duck, lobster, the Westlake Minced Beef soup (for my niece the pan fried pot stickers and low mein), for my boyfriend the Squid w/ spicy salt, and my and my dad's two favorite vegetables - the dow mai with garlic, and the green beans. I'm not sure if the dow mui - which is Snow peas with garlic is on the menu, but you can ask for it. It's like spinach, but the taste I think is more mild. My boyfriend who generally hates anything green thought it was very good. We didn't get it this time because my niece wanted the low mein, but I usually beg for and get the beef chow fun. Chow fun is a large flat rice noodle. It my favorite and so amazing here. We were too stuffed for desserts, but Gary brought us a bunch anyway. A very good almond pudding, and mango pudding. He also gave us some fried something but I didn't get to test that because my sister hogged it. I will add some pictures later. I realized after eating several dishes that I forgot to take pictures. Oops.

I ordered shumai here from UberEats and it's a solid option for West LA. The price is a bit steep at $9 for four shumai, but the shumai are succulent, flavorful, and decently portioned. I would love to try the other dim sum here in the future to see how they hold up. This could be a great option if you don't want to drive all the way to the 626 on a weekday!

DIM SUM & THEN SOME My Mahjong teacher and her husband took our class here for lunch one Thursday, and we practically had the place to ourselves. Since they come here regularly, and they wanted us to try different things, they ordered at least 30 dishes. Plus, we tried three different teas - the typical jasmine, the chrysanthemum, and another strong, unusual one ($1.98 each). Our hosts ordered in Cantonese, and service seemed fast and relatively attentive. They didn't have carts, but the food was served in cute little dishes and pans. 10 of us sat around a table with a lazy Susan in the middle, so it was easy to pass the numerous dishes. I loved the Baked BBQ Pork Buns ($7.95 for 3 little buns), the huge Chicken Potstickers ($7.95 for 3), and the Pork & Shrimp Shu Mai ($7.95 for 4). The Sticky Rice Shrimp Balls ($7.95 for 4), the Beef Balls ($7.95 for 3) and the Shrimp Har Gow ($7.95 for 4) were okay. I also tried the Beef Tripe ($7.95 for a pile of it), which really isn't my thing. Skipped the chicken feet, which my teacher loves, even though it is supposed to be a good source of collagen. I tried a few other things that weren't for me. The Stuffed Bell Pepper with Shrimp Paste ($8.95 for 3) made a tasty leftover. For veggies, I ate some Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce ($14.95). I never order dessert at a Chinese restaurant, but I am glad they did. The Egg Custard ($7.95 for 3) was sweet and delicious, and the Baked Custard Buns were phenomenal ($7.95 for 3). We over ordered, so we all had plenty of goodies to take home. Mine tasted just as good, if not better, when I reheated them later. After this fun meal, I was glad I had found street parking a block away so that I could take a walk. Summing it up, I'll be back!

I'm originally from the Bay Area so anytime I come across good Asian food here I really appreciate it. I stopped in at lunch because I was craving dim sum and my craving was more than satisfied. The service was wonderful and everyone was very friendly. I thought the decor inside was pretty cool too. I ordered a few different dishes and also custard buns for dessert. I was stuffed! But man am I glad I live about 7 min away. Looking forward to the next time I need a dim sum fix.

Got to visit this restaurant back in June 3rd ... dimsum was the best , we got the usual hargow , shrimp shumai, pork shumai, and for the adventurous chicken feet. I'm not sure what else my friend got but everything was delicious. Service was very attentive. There's limited parking but maybe because we got there during lunch rush on a Thursday. Other things I noticed that made my experience awesome was the restaurant and ladies restroom was clean, location is very easy to find. Highly recommend this restaurant for dimsum!

I've lived near this place for over a decade, and to be honest, the low reviews scared me away. I always figured I don't mind making a drive to eat good dim sum or just Chinese food. But my husband tried it with a friend and told me he was really pleasantly surprised with how good he thought it was. Yes, you're paying westside prices. I'm sure there are better spots out there, but for a neighborhood restaurant that has been around for a very long time, it's pretty good. I'm just sad I discovered it so late. It never seems that busy, but I think they do the most business maybe for dim sum times and deliveries. I love their shrimp with lobster sauce and winter melon soup. The service is always great, not overbearingly attentive, but just the right amount. There's valet parking in the lot, but I typically just walk over.

I have only had take out from here - the dim sum are quite good for the price. I particularly love their juicy buns. Parking is easy and they have a lot of seating if you are eating in.

It used to be the best DimSum place on the westside. not so much any more. The quality has taken a dive since the last time I ate here pre pandemic. The dim sum were gooey soggy and not of consistent quality. After going here to over twenty years I doubt I will go back here again.

For dim sum on the west side, Palace Seafood will suffice but is pricey for what it is. Beware they charge you $2 for tea even though they offer it nonchalantly when first seated making you think it's comped (it's not!). Turnip cake, scallion pancakes, and quarter roast duck were all solid. Hot pot vegetable vermicelli was underwhelming and I would not get again. The most disappointing aspect was not the restaurant itself but the parking plaza. First hour is free and on a rainy evening with trying to get a young child up and down the stairs (which were hard to find) we literally had a time stamped of 5:10pm and a stamp out of 6:13pm and with a 3 minute overage were charged a parking fee. Oh well.

As someone who isn't usually picky about dim sum, I was quite disappointed in the quality of the food considering that the cheapest dim sum dish option is $6.50 (and that's on the lunch menu). The taste for everything was okay, but really lacked flavor. Also be warned that tea is an extra $1.85 per PERSON, not per teapot. They asked us if we wanted tea before we looked at the menu, but the price is only stated on the menu :"( other than that, the service was okay. This is a quiet spot, and honestly good enough for people who aren't looking to drive out to the 626 for something better. I will most likely be looking for another option in west LA though!

Food was good. It was a nice atmosphere. Servers were attentive. We swung by here for our lunch break with my coworker and it didn't disappoint. Will be back again.

My table of 5 arrived for breakfast just a little after 10am and we were seated right away. There was only 2 or 3 other tables taken. Service was extremely fast, someone was always standing nearby to take our order or ask us how we're doing. Might be too fast because one time we ordered a XLB and one waiter brought it out and then 5 minutes later another waiter brought out the order again not knowing someone brought it to us already. We did find a black piece of hair in the pork ribs but we weren't deterred by it. It was easily removed and set aside. Dishes that were good: pork shumai - classic can't go wrong, chicken feet - very flavorful and full of collagen meat, sesame ball - classic sweet crunchy but still soft, and mango pudding. They do put the cream on automatically so if you don't like that make sure to tell them when you place the order. Egg custards we ordered 2 plates so they were good! Dishes that aren't good: chicken shumai - I personally didn't like this but my friends did. We ordered 2 plates of this one and only 1 plate of the pork shumai. Both are very meaty but I just prefer pork/shrimp over chicken. Congee was very plain, we had to add soy sauce to give it flavor. One bowl was perfect for 5 of us to have 1 small bowl each so if you like congee and there's 5 of you, maybe order another bowl if you want more than 1. Pork ribs were tough and chewy and thick. Shrimp har gaw was ok, shrimp was big piece but the dough was flavorless and chewy. Beef rice noodles was ok, nice big portions but again the dough was not good. Fried tarp dumpling, have had better. Steamed juicy pork bun is what they call it but it's xiao long bao how I know it. Not good. Barely any soup in there. Overall, decent dim sum place. There's no carts so you order off the menu and flag someone down to order more. They have all the classics and it doesn't seem too packed in here. Would come back if I was in this general area.

I really used to love coming for the dim sum carts on Sunday but no carts since the pandemic. Pricing is on the high side but I guess that's a trend for all restaurants now. I'll probably just get take out dim sum from other more convenient locations until the carts are back.

I ordered the steam fish filet HK style, small roast pork and snow pea leaves saute in garlic. All 3 dishes were tasty. The restaurant does validate parking but it's discount to $5/ hour parking.

If you're in the mood for dim sum in Brentwood, this is the place to go. They serve authentic, Cantonese dim sum! It definitely feels like the dim sum restaurants I ate at growing up, which is rare to find in LA. We came here with a party of 20 for lunch on Saturday, and they were able to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. The food was delicious and came pretty soon after we ordered. A couple of our orders didn't get put in, but honestly we over-ordered so it was for the better. The servers were so attentive and even helped us pack up all of our (many) leftovers.

I made all my friends do dimsum on a Friday night dinner for my birthday here. First off, best staff and service I've ever had at an authentic Cantonese restaurant. My group were all loud af west siders who brought too many bottles of wine, and the staff was polite and accommodating. The food was also fantastic for the price! They served a huge variety of made to order dimsum as well as authentic Cantonese dinner dishes. Peking duck, beef hot pot, lobster, veggies, all on point.

My mom loves her dim sum. The food was great! I will definitely take her back. The food is very tasty. We love the tripe and the chicken feet!

I don't know why this place doesn't have better reviews. The food here was some of the most fresh dim sum we have had in LA. The service was fast paced and they were really efficient. The decor is a little dated, but it's very true to the Hong Kong style. If you're in the area and wanting dim sum definitely come here!

I only ever order take-out with their lunch specials here, and i always have enough for 2 meals. Fast and usually ready within 30mins.

If you love dim sum this is the place! The sesame balls are heaven. They're one of my favorites to order. Warm and gooey yet crisp on the outside. Yum!! This family owned business makes the most authentic and delicious food. Everything on the menu is delicious!

We love coming to the din sum because they have good food and the server were super nice and friendly. We went there third time and everyone knew us. The boss there was very friendly too! We just feel like we were eating in our hometown. So friendly.. the environment was good too. Price was little pricy for us, other than that we would love to visit every week for dim sum.

The food was so disappointing. The first man that greeted me seemed nice enough, he steeped away and said he'd return. The man that ultimately ended up taking my order was incredibly rude. He said my food would take 25 minutes. I assured him that was fine. 10 minutes later I got my food. The wontons were so stale I couldn't finish even one. My egg foo young was doughy inside and hard outside. I will never go back.

It's not bad but it's also not amazing. Ok dimsum is better than no dimsum. That being said I didn't actually come here for dimsum but a reception. They ordered so dimsum staples: har gow, shu mai, and bbq pork steamed buns. Har gow and shu mai were okay. I didn't try the steamed bbq pork buns because I like the baked bread version better and they ran out. Pro tip: come early if those are your thing. They also ordered some regular menu items: chow mein, fried rice, chinese broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, and beeef with bamboo shoots. The carbs were alright. Chinese broccoli could have been more tender but that's always the case. Honey walnut shrimp had too much mayo. Could have done with less but the shrimp were big and juicy so I'm happy, the beef with bamboo was good. Tender beef beef and crisp bamboo. Now would I come back? Chances are low. This isn't my zip code. But if I was in the area and wanted dimsum stat and did not want to sit through traffic to get to SGV, this would be to the place. Also parking is valet only. Validation is only for and hour or two to plan accordingly.

This place deserve to be told by me as real Asian in West side. Every time I have to drive to East side or China town to get Chinese as I like. But my bf found this place and i give a try. Oh!! They are good place i mean great! To get Dim sum in this location. Recommend must have is roast duck i try to search for egg noodle , to eat with duck but they only have stir fried. Chinese doughnuts is so good not oily at all. Dim sum is 4/5 not Wow but really more than acceptable . Authentic Chinese is here trust me!! Service is as great as food as well. Staff is very helpful he help me with my son who is so needy sometime. Thanks so much. We will come back for sure when we crave for Dim sum.

Food good. Drinks good. Classic Ambience. Variety of dishes to share. Yummy tea. Really good duck.

Honestly, reading all these reviews makes me somewhat disappointed at these high ass expectation people have! this spot is a freaking hidden gem! I'm so thankful I dnt have to drive back Chinatown or 626 for dim sum! Having something so close to UCLA and Santa Monica is a luxury for us local Westwood and Brentwood peeps. A + for having dim sum all day! Valet parking? At first I was like fudge! I gotta pay for parking but after eating here I found out they do stamp ur ticket so parking is free.

Dim Sum was thick and gloopy, difficult to eat and not very tasty. But the thing that made me most sad were the fish in the fish tank, swimming around a COMPLETELY empty glass tank, with not even a single pebble or shrub to give them a small something to do. It's a sad sight when you enter, then a sad sight again when you leave.

I like this dimsum place because you can order what dim sum you want in the menu. Not typically the carts, maybe because of the pandemic they changed. Food was good and it was a quiet dim sum experience. Beef tripe could be more flavorful, chicken feet is really good, love the fried dough YOUTIAO, and the pork ribs are a must eat.

Food is excellent and the reason I came back. The service here is iffy. They take their rule of no substitutions very very very seriously. The sweet and pungent chicken is my favorite item. I just wish they had it on the lunch special. And I wish they had dinner specials that included soup, eggroll rice, and a smaller portion of the main entrée, apparently this style of service is going away and that's sad. I understand à la cart but I'm sure there are many customers like me that don't go there because they don't want to spend $50 for dinner for one person

I think people are too harsh on this place. Finding good authentic well priced Chinese food is hard to find on the west side. Parking is free for the first hour, $3 the next. That's the most frustrating part. It is easily seen from the street on the 3rd floor. Came here with a friend during a weekday lunch and was seated quickly. They definitely don't have a lot of staff during lunch and they do their best with that. They have a full dimsum menu during lunch which I love! One of the best har gaws I've ever had!!! It is LOADED with shrimp and it's not shrimp plus fillers. The fried chicken dumpling was also a great salty and sweet combo and was large and had a good filling ratio. Definitely wish I got more dimsum options. We ordered some regular entree items as well. Green beans were BOMB. Sometimes the Szechuan green beans can be a little too spicy and this had the perfect amount. You have to try! Fish fillet was really good and is something I usually get in a lot of Asian restaurants. I do wish it was spicier but the amount of spice from here was good that allowed easy eating and not waiting for the numbness to go away. Beef stew was delicious, I always am a fan of Chinese hot pot dishes. Overall, this place deserves more credit. The food tastes like it was thoughtfully made and not rushed but service was still very fast.

Randomly so so so good. Portions are huge I love it!! We were the only people there and they were very attentive and kind. Good place for some authentic orange chicken :)

We showed up here with my mom for a quick bite and satisfy the dim sum craving. There was one dude that was super attentive, but no Chinese place is legit without questionable or poor service. They validate parking for an hour so don't worry about giving the parking attendant some heat. Got their basics - shrimp har gow, shrimp rice rolls (?), siumai, jellyfish. Let me tell you. I did not taste any cheap fillers, everything tasted fresh. They use big and plump shrimp in the rolls, siumai tasted like pork. Jellyfish slices were perfectly cut and seasoned. I'm sure you're reading this and questioning my life choices but trust me when I'm saying I've had one too many bad dishes in this faux career as a food critic (hahah) There weren't many others when we got there first thing Sunday morning but I will definitely be back for my cravings fix. It's more than enough for me on this side of town.

Never have I ever ordered Chinese food, specifically those deep fried saucy American style dishes, that did not come with rice. I had no idea I should have ordered rice separately so I was forced (yah, I know, woe is me lol :P) to eat my proteins without my carby goodness. Wah wah. I decided to get delivery from The Palace because they had Honey Glazed Walnut Chicken! Ahhhhhhh, love of my life. I absolutely love the gooey honey mayo flavor, but alas, I am allergic to shellfish. A true tragedy when at Chinese spots they always have honey glazed shrimp but not chicken! So to see it on the menu here, I was SOLD. It satisfied an immediate craving but was not near the best I've had. It wasn't quite as creamy and smooth sauce-like as I am used to. It was a bit too congealed once it cooled. I did enjoy the flavor though and will be getting it again to try once more. Could have been a slightly off batch on the consistency. And $18 is a bit high for the dish. I also had the sweet and sour chicken and I must say the chicken in both dishes was perfect. Small pieces the way I like, deep fried to perfection for a great crisp to them. Sauce to the sweet and sour chicken was great, as well. A good sized portion, packed separately, loaded with veggies. Again, $18 sweet and sour chicken. Eeks. The pan fried chicken dumplings were packed with meat, could have been a bit more crisp but did have tasty flavor. Though I am not running back to Palace, I'll definitely order again when I have a honey chicken hankering.

Food is mediocre. But the biggest insult was the service. It was raining, and on the way home from work, I stopped in the Palace Seafood & Dim Sum on the corner of Wilshire and Barrington in West Los Angeles. The waiter that is the usual person at the front desk (for takeout orders), was so rude to me it was stunning. He was downright hostile for no reason. I ordered sit down and take out the same treatment. I am attractive and polite, but he seemed to hate older women and had no time for me who was having dinner solo. I find it uncalled for behavior, especially since dinner was a whopping $47. Needless to say, I left without tipping him, since the service was provided seemingly with resentment.

Severs and the host especially are very very rude. The host brushed us off and rolled his eyes and he talks extremely rude towards customers and speaks down to you which was so upsetting. Also the place feels a bit dirty and it's reflected in the food. Extremely oily and salty and u feel heavy and bloated afterwards because it's packed with excess sodium and oils. Just 5 minutes away is a delicious place called Dim Sum House which we went to after being dismissed and being spoken to so rudely at the Palace. So save ur money and time at a dim sum house that actually treats their customers with respect and has quality food!

If you go to UCLA and crave dim sum, this is a great place to go! It's literally not that far (you can take a bus directly here!) and it's not that expensive too. Honestly the only downside is that it's not the cheapest dim sum place you can find (I think?) and they don't serve the dim sum traditionally in carts. Idk how much that affects you, but I don't really care as long as the food is good. Shu mai - This was pretty good, would recommend getting. The fish roe came in like some type of sauce on top instead of just the Shumai. Not really sure, but it tasted good! The pieces were also really big. Shrimp Har Gow - This was also really good and the size of each piece was big as well. Nothing too crazy, but it was delicious! Chicken Feet - My favorite dim sum dish ever, and it did not disappoint. The meat was fall off the bones and it was super flavorful. Also, they gave like 6-7 feet so I thought it was worth the price! Sugar Cane Shrimp - I think the crust can be slightly more crispy, but overall it was crispy enough. The shrimp inside was plentiful and sucking on the sugar cane after eating each piece was a great experience. Shrimp and Scallop Dumpling - Tbh, I'd rather get another Har Gow. The scallop is interesting, but I think I just prefer the Har Gows more. Overall, really solid place!

The Palace Seafood and Dim Sun is an unassuming restaurant on the second floor of just another L.A. strip mall, however the food is anything but ordinary. They opened at 5pm on Sunday and I stepped into a room set for a reception. The decor matched perfectly and the atmosphere was exactly what one has grown to expect from your Americanized Asian restaurant. With a quick glance at the menu I opted for the Dim Sum. Each portion was exactly what I expected from the images and they all paired well with each other. None of this is what prompted my review. This review is all about the flavor of the food! The cooks in the Palace have been making food under one name or another for over 50 years and it shows. It is a rare chance indeed to have a whole menu of items whose flavor work together. Not just in a general sense, like they are from the same country, but in the fact that each one feels like it was specifically made to pair with every other dish I ordered. It is true that, being one man, I only ordered 6 of the options, but everyone had a different meat or bread. I don't know enough about this type of food to speak with too much depth, but you can bet that The Palace just jumped to the top of my L.A. places that someone MUST eat!

Food is authentic and delicious. I'm so happy everytime I come for dim sum or soup when I'm not feeling well. Also, the food comes so fast!! It's amazing. Fast food, nice service. I don't know why the rating on this is 3 stars. Obviously, if you've ever eaten in Rosemead or Pasadena or Westminster. this is just like the best Chinese food out there. People out here are finna cap on authentic Chinese dining experiences in so cal. Ay yah!

I crave this place every other week! There is never a wait, since i only go in parties of two - on weekends before 3pm. Food is always quick to come out. Staff engage in minimal conversations and may seem rude but they really arnt they are just working. I have ordered many things on their dim sum menu, and so far everything tastes great. Pork bun, shu mei etc. i recommend the food the thing that's wrapped in a leaf. It's almost like a Asian tamale. I really recommend this place Note that the prices increase by a ~$1 after a certain time. You pay for parking plaza, since the plaza is on a corner of a busy street you will need to cross the street to find parking in the residents area.

The only viable dim sum place in West LA :') But it's getting more and more expensive over time. Anyone want to open another dim sum place? Try to get street parking since you have to pay for parking in the lot if you eat for more than an hour (don't forget to get the waiter to stamp!). Food is quick and good.

Terrible experience !!!ordered a chicken soup look what they give you !a chicken foot a chicken neck some shredded meat !will never go again stay away from this "restaurant "

Their lot is paid but not for quick pick ups. Just let the attendant know you're picking up. Staff is not as curt as other Chinese restaurants in the nearby area. Food is ok, not amazing but certainly does the job since options are limited in this geographic location, especially if you're craving dim sum! They offer lunch specials, at a reduced price but portions are smaller.

Fresh and tasty Chinese food w/Excellent service and reasonable price for a delicious meal. Highly recommended restaurant for Chinese and seafood lovers.

We ordered Uber delivery and the food was extremely well done with generous portions. Loved all the menu options and they got everything right! Recommend the fish with ginger and veggies, black mushrooms with asparagus, the Chinese broccoli was served with a dried fish, like fish jerky.. interesting and tasty. The barbecue pork chow mein was good but best not to get it stir fried!

Saw the cook in the bathroom with his same apron , and back into the kitchen he goes to prepare our food ( I am pretty shocked, disgusted and disappointed) and I had told the owner, he tells me "than do not eat out! " ‍ The food was.... Mediocre. The service was horrendous, and the parking is crazy busy. There are better Chinese food restaurants out there "owner", who shares the bare minimum of hygiene like not squatting with your apron while cooking my meal, maybe washing your hands, and how about not cleaning tables and then serving food??? Thank me later

The Palace Seafood & Dim Dum is located on the second floor of a strip mall plaza in Brentwood in West Los Angeles. There is valet parking in the plaza and the elevator to the second floor is fully functional. Before all the newer dim sum restaurants that have popped up in the last couple of years, The Palace was the restaurant the place to go for dim sum in the Westside of LA without trekking it to the other 'republic of China,' also known as the San Gabriel Valley for Chinese dim sum. Have dined at this restaurant numerous times mostly for lunch for over 3 decades but my first time posting this overdue review. The food here will satisfy your dim sum craving for savory and sweet bite size treats. This restaurant is cleaner than other restaurants in chinatown in LA, and decorated with asian influences throughout. Service was just ok, although it would be nice that the dim sum cart ladies could be able to speak minimal English to at least inform me as to the contents of some of the dim sum. Also, the men walking around, acting as buss boys, were good at clearing our table, but when we asked to have our food boxed togo, they were not helpful to box up our foods, they simply handed our boxes and a bag for us to do it ourselves...so lazy! therefore our tip reflected the subpar service. In Chinatown LA, the Chinese restaurants, would have boxed our togo food and can inform me of the contents of the dim sum dumplings. I am not as adventurous or brave, and do NOT like chicken feet, innards, pork or anything that looks like FFF=fear factor food, pass! So when I asked the ladies what was in inside the steamed dumpling or steamed shumai, whether it's beef, chicken or pork or veggie, they didn't speak English enough to reply to my simple answer. The ladies only spoke Chinese, which I don't speak and there was definitely a language barrier issue. That limited our order, because we wanted to know what we were ordering and we just couldn't determine from eyesight, some of the food contents being offered, because the rice pasta like wrapping made contents looks obscure. Some dim sum with shrimp were visibly obvious, and the rest were mystery meat. Various carts wheeled by us, and we also ordered steamed Chinese broccoli from the regular menu and thoroughly love it with the oyster sauce and spicy chili dipping sauces. My guess is the food was not prepared here in this restaurant. Probably prepared somewhere else and just heated here. Nevertheless, everything we ordered were mostly seafood because that's this restaurant's specialty: seafood and dim sum,' were all delicious: shrimp Hargow, scallop shumai, shrimp rice roll, shrimp, leek and cilantro steamed dumplings and Chinese broccoli all so tasty good. Gets my recommendation.

The food was amazing and that's the number one reason you go to a restaurant. I thought the duck, the shrimp, the chow mein, and the fried rice were all amazing. I wouldn't recommend going outside of those things that I ordered however if you prefer chicken or beef I personally didn't like it. The valet is free for one hour as well we paid 5$ for 17 minutes over.
