   This is the go to resto for genuine authentic Cantonese food. From steaming dim sum buns to hot sizzling beef stir fries, this is it! The service is like a well oiled machine and all the wait staff glide around serving the many orders. dishes to the ever eager diners. So whether you go for lunch (dim sum) or dinner, you'll always be impressed. Yes, dim sum and dinner menus are completely different. Parking is difficult but there is a car park about 5 mins walk away or better still take the Tube to Gants Hill. The resto virtually sits next to the station! I've been coming here for over 20 years and I can honestly say that the quality of the food has always been the best of any place I've been to. And believe me I've traveled far and know good food. There's no background music so really lovely to talk with each other. Oh and before I completely forget, try the Peking Duck, new on the menu and again delicious for its crispy succulent moist skin. Or if you prefer you can try the cheaper shredded aromatic duck. Both dishes are served with thin pancakes, sliced vegetables and hoisin sauce. Both are mouth watering delicious. This is my top recommendation of all my reviews and you won't be disappointed. A real gem.

   Lovely restaurant, nice oriental decorated. We came here for lunch and ordered a bit of food and their food taste nice. Good variety of seating for large and small groups of people and a decent size restaurant. Prices are similar to central London China town so it's a good place for the locals to save the travelling into town. Total spend for four people around £175. ( includes service charge) For parking there is a local car park £3.80 for 2 hours on Ringo near the library 5mins walk. (As the restaurant is on the roundabout it's a busy road)

   Good local Chinese restaurants are on the wane so thank the stars for Mandarin Palace. The food is delicious and the portions are very generous indeed. The service is prompt and courteous. There is parking apparently round the back. The toilets are clean but in need of refurbishment. Celebrating 50 years so 15 per cent off (dining only) up to 31 July 2024! Expensive but worth it. We went to celebrate my daughters 18th. The portions are HUGE so if ordering set menu perhaps order for one less person.

   Pretty decent local dim sum place if you don’t want to head to China Town and you live close by. Food is just as good as China town if not better than some places, prices are also cheaper than China Town. They have free parking at the back aswell which is a bonus, but you do need to go through an alley way from the back of the restaurant. Value for money: 8/10 Food: 8/10

   Amazing restaurant and wonderful service. We ordered a variety of dishes to try and they were all top quality and full of flavours. This place is a hidden gem of the area. One of the best Chinese restaurants in East London. A must visit!

   We had a lovely lunch at the Mandarin Palace with our family. For lunch, the restaurant had an option for a business lunch of starter, main course and dessert. This worked out well as we could all make our individual choices. The selection was trio dim sum, vegetable platter, and hot and sour soup. For main course it was a selection of chow mein, Singapore noodles, Kung pao chicken, and chicken sweet and sour. Portions were generous, and flavour was good, but I won't call it excellent. Maybe it was ok by quick business lunch standard. A proper A la Carte meal would be a better measure. Overall a good experience.

   Food is really good especially the great selection of dim sum. Portion sizes are however on the smaller side considering the price. The young female waitress was very friendly but all other staff were miserable and not welcoming at all. They were in a rush to get us out by 9 even though I had called to find out the closing time beforehand.

   Eating more traditional Chinese food meant travelling up to China Town in central, now there's no need. Mandarin Palace offers some amazing authentic Chinese food. Haven't tried the dim sum yet, but plan to. Highly recommend the Thai style chicken feet!
