Crown Palace Chinese Restaurant

I set the bar low expecting typical greasy "Chinese" food. Somehow this place disappointed. Don't waste your time with the ginger beef, it is a lot of deep fried batter with a miniscule shred of beef in the middle. Hopefully things change as it is very convenient.

Its really good. We had the bbq fried rice. The rice had a nice wok smoky flavour. Perfectly chewy. I liked.Food: 5/5

i have tried SO many chinese food places in victoria and this is by far the best. the ginger beef and fire prawns are literally unreal, i am obsessed with this place! thanks guys!

Pretty good ginger beef! Would give it a 6 for flavour and spice and crispiness, adding +1 relative to other Chinese places on the island. 7/10

I'm giving these guys a 5. They deserve better than under 4 stars. I'll be honest the building outside is unappealing but the Asian food I had was delicious! Ginger beef, not too chewy like many make it, an excellent vegetable crispy noodle dish and a special fried rice. I wish the menu was bigger but thought prices were reasonable and the food..excellent!

In the past, we loved the Ginger Beef but it has changed and not for the better. The Ginger beef seems to be battered and deep fried now. This makes the ginger beef not crispy, but mushy with batter. The beef and broccoli did not have much beef, with a lot of liquid. Quite different from the past once again and the chop suey had too much celery compared to the few vegetables. Hardly any sprouts were added, when originally asking for a side order of sprouts. Was very disappointed in this order.

Ordered from here as an alternative to our usual place since it was closed on New Years Day. We were very impressed with the food! Everything was hot and tasty! The ginger beef was light and crispy. The sweet + sour pork and garlic veggies were also very good. The chow mein was yummy though was a tad greasy. We ordered 4 dishes for 2 people and had plenty of leftovers. Would recommend to anyone looking for decent Chinese food in Victoria!

Ordered from here while working out of town recently. Ordered the Thai red curry chicken and veg with rice and crispy spring rolls. Pros: Tonnes of food for the price! Quality ingredients. The chicken was all nice cuts of white meat, veggies were very fresh, varied and plentiful. Sauce Not too spicy but really nice flavour. The spring rolls were huge! I had easily enough left over for next day’s lunch and it was right around $20. Cons: no dipping sauce for spring rolls, weird. Delivery driver was less than friendly. Will try the fried chicken from their sister restaurant within the same location next time I am there as I hear they are good too.

I read several reviews before posting mine. I can only assume that the 5 star and positive ones are from people who have no idea what real Chinese food tastes like. I have eaten Chinese food in the states from coast to coast. What I ordered from here was totally horrible. I could not recognize what was what. No duck sauce. No hot mustard. No napkins. The flavor was off. To top it all off, we used the “skip the dishes” app. We were shorted two items worth almost 40 dollars. Calamari and spring rolls. After contacting customer service all they would do is credit the app. I explained that I did not live here and would never use that app again, could they please credit back my card. No, was the answer. So basically my Chinese food experience on the island was more of an experiment. Talk about a bad taste in your mouth....

Great Chinese take out. Owners really know what service means. Ordered ginger beef and house special fried rice. What I didn't understand is the house special fried rice INCLUDES shrimp to which I am allergic. Thinking it was a mistake made by the restaurant, I went back to have the order remade. The owner came out and explained shrimp is automatically included but did not hesitate for a second to remake it for me at no charge. Now THAT is what the service industry is all about!!! Great meal! Great service! Thanks Crown Palace!
