Upon The Palace

The best restaurant I have ever been to. The sushi the best sushi ever, all the food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. The service was beyond amazing. We live 2 hours away and will come up here just to come back for this restaurant! Definitely go here for the best food you will ever taste in your life!!!

Had a weekly Peking duck supper club event there. The restaurant was super accommodating and provided amazing, gracious service. The Peking Duck was expertly brined with notes of cinnamon and two pancakes were rolled for each of us tableside.

Good food, but this is the type of restaurant that tries to make money off of everything… Don’t get me wrong, the food tasted great but when we asked for extra pancakes with our peking duck (we got 4 pancakes for half a peking duck), they charged us $6(??!!!) for 4 extra pancakes. Did not know we were getting charged for this until we got the check. Also, a bottle of still water costs $14. Won’t be coming back simply because of these abnormal charges.

We chose this restaurant because of the many good reviews. When we were the only guests in the restaurant (at lunchtime!), we first thought it was a bit strange but didn't think anything of it. All the staff stared at us as if we were circus animals because, unfortunately, they simply had nothing to do. Nevertheless, the service staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, the food was not good at all. The soup was very oily and the dumplings, which were supposed to be fried, were simply made in the pan and also had a strange color and were half cold. We left the restaurant as quickly as possible and hope that other guests will have a better experience than we had.

We gave the place a try on date night. The food was great… Service impeccable very happy to have a place of this caliber in the neighborhood. Kudos we will be back.

Amazing new restaurant in Tribeca! The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect for our date night. We ordered pork soup dumplings, crispy rice with tuna, half the Peking duck, and chicken fried rice - each dish was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back. This is our new favorite spot!

Just to start, I have lived around the corner for years and always hoped something great would come to this location (even told the hostess that). I then took the opportunity to go and had a business dinner there. We had a great time. The food was just ok (beyond greasy for Chinese food) but certainly decent enough for something so convenient compared to Chinatown. I asked for an extra order to go which they brought out towards the end of our meal. I went back across the street and remembered that I left that order at the restaurant. Within less than 30 minutes, I came back for the order and nobody could find or replace the meal I ordered and paid for. As somebody who works in the hospitality industry representing national groups, any of them would never behave in such a way and would even go as far as to call the lack of customer service disgraceful. It’s a short-sighted way to just open and treat the local customers. I won’t be coming back.

The food here is fantastic. We had the pork and shrimp shumai, chicken lomein, and sizzling three delight, recommended by our wonderful waitress from connecticut (I'm sorry I forgot her name). All 3 dishes were excellent. Gerard was very nice and showed us around this new establishment. Very nice interior. Great addition to the neighborhood. Will definitely be back.

Best new Chinese food spot in lower manhattan. Great variety of dishes plus wonderful sushi bar. Great atmosphere to dine in or also perfect as the to go take out spot if you are local.

After spending the evening at the Muse paintbar, we needed to find a quick place to eat, knowing that there were snow squalls on the road and it was super cold outside. With the time nearing 9:30pm, we were lucky that this place was open and willing to seat us. First off, this was one of the fanciest Chinese restaurants I've ever seen. Very elegant. We ordered two things: Edamame Sizzling tofu with mixed vegetables The tofu and veggies were quite satisfying. The edamame was fine, but not the best and quite a lot to finish between the two of us. Then again, it was also quite late in the evening. Overall, quite a solid Chinese restaurant in the area. Especially if you don't want the standard takeout.

The service was excellent at dinner, with waiters attentive to our needs and cognizant of refilling water which was appreciated. The food was also very good: Calamari: 4/5 served with garlic chips and cabbage which was a little too much but the calamari itself was fresh and not greasy Xiao long bao: 5/5 Half Peking duck: 3/5 great portion and the skin was extra crispy however it was really really greasy Sesame chicken: 5/5 probably one of the best sesame chicken I've ever had - it was fresh and crispy and the sauce was not covered with sugar like most places Lychee peach tini: 5/5

Solid new Asian spot in TriBeCa although a little pricey for what you get. Appreciate that there's some more modern twists on Chinese classics. We really enjoyed the soup dumplings and the truffle fried rice. Also recommend the mapo tofu lunar new year special

Wonderful new Asian cuisine restaurant in Tribeca! Had not heard much about it but had walked by it a few times and decided to give it a try. We went on a Saturday evening and even though it had opened only recently, the restaurant was busy and lively. We started with the Shanghai Pork Wonton and the Chicken Egg Corn Soups - both were very good and really hit the spot on a relatively cool evening. We also had the King Salmon Tartar as an appetizer and it was excellent. For our mains, we had the Pan-Seared Foie Gras, Walnut Prawns and Foie Gras Fried Rice - all nicely prepared and presented and all terrific. The only issue we had was that there were too many dishes we wanted to try - will have to come back. John our server was very helpful and friendly as was the rest of the staff. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a lively, classy feel. Highly recommend!

Upon the Palace is a great new Asian restaurant in Tribeca. The space is beautiful and the service is very good. Their cocktails are also excellent with a decent wine list. The sushi is good. Although it is high quality and well done, it is nothing special given the amazing sushi options in the area. The Chinese food is truly outstanding, creative and delicious.

Dined in a few times and tried take-out. Menu is Asian fusion and has a lot of classic "Chinese restaurant" favorites, but this place is more than a little bit nicer than any of the other similar restaurants you'll find downtown. The space is really well decorated and has a great vibe, the staff is polite, and the food is consistently great. Really happy this place has opened up in the neighborhood.

Food was good overall. Service was an issue. Was rushed to order immediately. Then took 20+ min for martinis. Sushi very fresh but was falling apart. Rest of food was ok but nothing special - a bit disappointed because it is a beautiful restaurant and has potential to be great

I live across the street and noticed that this opened recently. Finally decided to try it on Sunday night and I was not disappointed. The ambiance is great and they have a nice little bar area. The food is definitely the star of the show, there is a wide menu which makes ordering fun and means you can get a little bit of everything. We got the soup dumplings, hero roll, half Peking duck, and foie gras fried rice. Everything was amazing. The service was definitely a bit slow but I imagine they are still working through some kinks. Overall we will definitely be back!

have given this restaurant a try 3x and that was enough. The sesame shrimp has batter that makes the shrimp look bigger, but the dish is tasteless... It comes with 2 tiny pieces of broccoli and the chicken lo mein has virtually no chicken in it. The spring rolls are not crisp and flavorless.. the bill was $81

Great new addition to the Tribeca restaurant scene! The atmosphere Saturday night was lively and crowded, but never felt overwhelmingly loud. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our specific seating requirements. The pork dumplings were standard, but the half Peking duck was crispy and flavorful and the seafood pan-fried noodles came with lots of delicious shrimp and squid. The standout dish was the Lunar New Year Special of the mapo tofu with filet mignon - WOW! Absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of spice. I hope this becomes a menu staple.

service is 5 out of 5 .... the food was alittle lacking so it's not all super spicy it's like american spicy ... then there was jap food ? idk man .... the spicy beef was very very dry. their lobster didn't have a lot of flavor . let's just say it's just very very american ....

The chicken fried rice tasted like we were eating soy sauce. There was barely any chicken. It was $32. Friedman's is better for half the price. Delivery is also faster. Grand Marnier prawns were grotesque and drenched in flavorless goop at $41.00 if you're looking for good Chinese food go elsewhere. If you're looking for overpriced Chinese food with a scene go to Mr. Chow! This place is pathetic and they think they can charge what they want being in Tribeca. Good luck!!!!

This just opened in Tribeca and it's already full of happy eaters. I got a huge takeout order tonight and it was really really good. Like, reminded me of Chinatown good. Beef was tender, vegetables were fresh, it wasn't too salty. I'm simply thrilled to have this in the neighborhood.
