Ho Win Palace

The new Tiki Island is now Ho Win Palace. Ho Win is a big win. It's wicked clean and remodeled very nicely and has a more yuppified look. Admittedly though, I really miss the "old school" look of nostalgic kitschy and cheesy Oriental-theme decor and red pleather booths, etc. But I am Zen with their efforts to update this place. Kudos.The bar is very extensive, and it's stocked with lots of everything -six rows deep of Woodford and many more boozes. They even have a bottle of Louis XIII Cognac front and center and all sorts of fun paraphernalia like a shot-glass Ferris wheel and much more. Classic New England libations are available on the drink menu including the ever-essential Blow Jobs and Woo-Woos. Hats off for this attention to our New England favorites!Service is attentive, prompt and friendly AF. The menu is "the usual" -quite extensive and includes the de rigueur Subgums, Moo Shoes, Kow Pangs, etc.We ordered two Mai Tai to start. Admittedly, they were good and well-presented but were in a tall glass and so they were very unboozy tasting and quite sure they contained only the Massachusetts state-law amount of booze and no more. They do have many types of phun glasses and Tiki mugs for each type of drink. Kudos for that.We ordered 'Goons which were good but I actually prefer a greasier 'Goon but that's just my pref. Moey ordered the Singapore Noodles and I got the Three Delight Kung Pow. Her dish was pissah and she loved it. My Kung Pow was very good and copius but again I prefer the more "old school" Kung Pow which is greasier and more ghetto. Again, this is just my pref. The food here leans towards a slightly more "gourmet" style. I also dig the Ho Win Palace monogram dishware. It's highly Festivus and adds a touch of class and shows that they don't cut no corners.I also got a Hot n' Sour Soup. It was wicked good and was thermally wicked hot which is a big plus. I've experienced cold/tepid soup commonly at many places and it's a big no bueno and speaks volumes about caring or lack thereof. Most importantly, it had the apropos woodear 'shrooms (NOT the Pennsylvania 'shrooms which has become the "new normal" but is unacceptable not to mention wicked unauthentic -and done so to simply save expense). Six bucks was quite reasonable for this good-sized and quality soup. Kudos, again...I will be back to Ho Win Palace. I wanna sample more phood and get a Blow Job too. Thank you, Ho Win, for doing a great job on this new Palace!Kudos!

The food was good, but I wish there was more of it. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken lunch special today and it was $13 with plain white rice and a choice of appetizer. I chose the beef teriyaki as my appetizer.If you want to add fried rice, then there is a three dollar or four dollar charge depending on your protein. The same is true if you'd like to substitute for lo mein. The portion was extremely skimpy therefore a $13 lunch special with plain white rice and the actual entrée is expensive. I may give them another shot because the food itself was actually tasty. Maybe ordering à la cart for dinner will be a better experience. I work hard for my money so to feel like I've been ripped off it's not a good feeling. I really hope that they increase the portion size of the lunch entrées so that I'm not sitting here with almost a cup of white rice leftover once the entrée component is finished. Friendly service. They have a parking lot. It can get a little congested there because the car wash is next-door as well as the gas station.This is the old Tiki Island. Tiki Island had great food with extremely reasonable prices. It makes me more sad that they're gone now having tried Ho Win Palace.

Just tried this new place and the food was amazing. Service was lacking. We ordered 7 appetizers and they came out 1 at a time over a half hour. Was not thrilled about this. Also order a pina colada and daiquiri. Took 25 min to get them. I will chalk this up to being a new place.

This was our first time at Ho Win Palace, which replaced Tiki Island, a local favorite of ours. The new owner did a great job sprucing up the place to make it much warmer and more modern! I was pleasantly surprised by the sushi, which was fresh and tasty. My boyfriend got the hibachi chicken, which he also enjoyed. Service was prompt and the manager, Ray, was very friendly! We'll definitely be back.

We had a big gathering at Ho Win Palace. Thanks to the wonderful manager, Raymond Wu, we had a wonderful meal and a ton of fun. The food were just excellent. Raymond was wonderful, treated us as VIPs. Shout out to our wonderful bartender, Kiki too. Her drinks were delicious. We had our own room with karaoke. We had a blast. Thank you Raymond.

Went to the Ho Win Palace in Medford Ma on JUNE 12 2024 Wednesday I went with Mom and friends Mom and I had the Pu Pu Platter for 2 Boneless Spare Teriyaki beef egg roll fried Shrimp 2 Chicken wings Chicken fingers and Crab Rangoon 4 Everything was Awesome I recommend this place Located at 269Middlesex Ave MEDFORD MA

Really good food, sushi is very fresh! The wait staff is nice and attentive. Raymond was checking on us while we dined!

Solid Chinese food. Really enjoyed it. They were able to accommodate a group of 7 easily.

Our first visit to Ho Win Palace and the experience was mixed. The overall atmosphere was goodbut unfortunately, our table was close the bar. The presence of three over served and very loud men with colorful language was a real bummer. As for the food, we ordered the Pu Pu Platter and fried rice (which were very good).and chicken chow mein (which was very unusual). More specifically, the chicken had a strange slippery quality and we removed it entirely from the dish. The texture was unlike any chicken we have ever tasted. I don't think we will return.

Fresh food , ,,,,,,,,,place is bright and clean. Full bar nice people ! Love the sushi and creative drinks
