White Palace

My gf and I decided to try something new today other than Seafood Cove. I don't remember how expensive seafood cove is but white Palace is pretty expensive. We only spent $40 for five items.It was an interesting place as it was also a wedding venue at night. Pretty smart though if you ask me because at least are utilizing the morning times for dim sumService wise was very fast there wasn't that many people and all the cart aunties came flocking in. They're all really nice though and I got to book Cantonese with himFlavor wise it was actually pretty good. We got:- Xiu Mai - Pretty solid and lots of flavor. 5/5- Ha Cheurng / Shrimp Roll - I liked it a lot as it was a THICC BOI but my gf prefers the thinner rice rice layer. 5/5 - Cha Siu Bao / BBQ Pork Bun - 3/5 only because it was cold but filling was solid. Well air fry these later for a snack- Tripe - Standard and pretty tender! 4/5- Shurn Jok Guurn/ Tofu Skin Wrapped thingy - It actually had a beef filling rather than a mushroom filling. 4/5Overall, if I didn't want wait in line and I had a big party with me I wouldn't mind coming here. Parking is better than Seafood Cove madness and there are hella tables available. Bathrooms are very clean as well!

Good service, but as for food taste, I would say it's average. This used to be the Seafood World location. My parents liked the fried items as it was freshly fried. We ordered a lot of dishes to try and nothing stood out for me... hence average. They currently have a 10% off sale on Monday- Friday. We went on Prez Day and I was surprised they offered the discount. That was nice and I just increase the tip.Easy parking. Comfortable space as it is a wedding venue also.

This spot used to be called Seafood World and was rebranded to White Palace. We came for dim sum during Sunday lunch and there was an event going on next door. In terms of the dim sum, everything was pretty standard and good. However, service was pretty slow because they were busy. A lot of us at our table had to flag down servers multiple times for water. The restaurant is big but only a smaller section is usually open to the public due to the constant events going on next door. Overall, I have no complaints about the food but I also think there wasn't anything that really stood out. I think its a fair alternative to Seafood Cove and would come back if I wanted to beat long waits and grab some quick dim sum.

When you come on a prime Saturday morning during a holiday weekend, and there's only 4-5 occupied tables and the cart ladies loitering about, that's a red flag. We have gone to all the best dim sum places both locally in OC and the epicenter in Monterey Park. But we just wanted something local to a family menber's house a street away and there were 11 of us. Wow, the carts came out hawking their wares with a vengeance. Nothing was over cooked or mushy/oversteamed (except for the chicken feet and tofu skin pork) as other reviewers declared, but there was a lack of flavor and depth that left us wanting more. I haven't had dim sum in at least a year and would've been happy with a B. But it's a C- for me and the tables. We could barely finish what we chose. The temperature of all were definitely on the lukewarm side as if they were on the cart for quite awhile waiting for patrons. I'm sure they want events to keep their big banquet space operating, so the dim sum is an afterthought. But they need to step up their kitchen to compete with the plethora of places within driving distance. This place was not memorable and barely tolerable, especially for the price points.

Quick, efficient, attentive service. They always made sure our tables were clean and that we had enough food. It was such a huge space and super clean! Dim sum was really good & flavorful. :)

This time i came here for birthday party . The restaurant is completely remodeled, it is very nice and clean. We have fried rice, fried fish with sauce, shrimp with noodles . Perking duck, Veggies with oyster sauce, fish maw soup food was good , only fish maw soup a little bit bland of flavor . The service was quick, and the staff are friendly.

Cute little dim sum placePush carts with all the essentials Quality was ok. The porridge was bland and had to ask for salt. The star dish was the sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf :) Portions were goodService was friendly Parking was not bad Overall not bad. Thanks!

Came here on New Year's Day around 11am with no wait. Plenty of tables inside. The service was very attentive with great options for dim sum plates. The ladies with the dim sum carts make their away around a few times for you to grab anything you would like. The quality can be better in my opinion but was still good. Price is reasonable. I would say if Seafood Cove 2 down the street has a long wait, head over to White Palace!

The service is prompt but the food quality was bad at White Palace. Parking is also tight and not the easiest. I visited with my mom on a Sunday morning dim sum lunch. The place wasn't that packed and the restaurant had just opened.Oddly, the food was either tepid, or actually frozen inside, or overcooked. There was no in-between. Every steamed items were basically overcooked and blasted in the basket. So shumai, har-gow and rice crepes all fell apart. The inside part were all overcooked -- think chewy dry shrimp and tough shumai meat sans skin. The congee was also really disappointing. It was tepid and had no duck eggs or anything in it. It was just spoonful of dry shredded chicken. I am hopeful I can find a better dim sum place than this in the future. For the 7 plates of food we ordered, the bill came to $80+ w/o tip. Definitely not worth it in my opinion.Suggestions are welcome.

I had a truly disappointing experience at this restaurant, and I feel the need to share it so others can avoid making the same mistake. I ordered a dish of broiled fish with soybean sauce topping for a New Year's gathering with a group of friends. The pickup time was set for 4:30 p.m., but I had to wait until 5:00 p.m. before they handed it over. By that time, I expected the fish to be hot and fresh, just out of the kitchen. Unfortunately, what I got was cold, old fish that clearly hadn't been cooked fresh.When we tasted it, one person immediately noticed that the fish was off--it tasted bad and seemed to be not fresh at all. As a result, no one in the group wanted to try it, and we ended up leaving it untouched. Now I'm stuck with this dish in the refrigerator, which is a complete waste of money.The worst part was that I had ordered this for a special occasion, hoping to enjoy a quality meal with my friends, but instead, the seafood was subpar and ruined the experience. I'd strongly advise others to steer clear of this place, especially if you're looking for fresh seafood. It's clear they don't prioritize quality, and I certainly won't be coming back.
