What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Sea Palace is highly praised for its stunning floating restaurant ambiance and delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine, particularly the crispy aromatic duck and dim sum. While the QR code ordering system is efficient, some find it impersonal. Despite being on the pricier side, diners overwhelmingly agree the food quality and unique dining experience make it well worth the cost.

"For a family of 6, it was the first time we have all experienced a chinese restaurant and it’s safe to say it was amazing. Food came out hot and all at the same time with hot plates. Staff were incredible and helped us with our food choices. Their tip was well deserved. Highly recommend."

"We decided to try Sea Palace on a whim, and were impressed with their vegan and vegetarian offerings.
I am so glad that we did, as we were blown away by the place.
The restaurant itself is lovely, and decorated very nicely. All of the staff we encountered were super welcoming, and very friendly.
The food was exceptional, very tasty and good portions! It is a little on the pricier side, but it is more than worth it. We were very excited to be able to have a vegetarian version of Sweet and Sour balls! The Sichuan tofu was juuust the right amount of spice and taste also!
All in all, we were very impressed and are looking forward to returning!"
