Chinese Palace Restaurant — Restaurant in Hobart

I have had some bad Chinese in my time - even going out of my way to find bad looking Chinese restaurants for "authentic cuisine" but this was definitely the worse Chinese food I have ordered. Ordered a king prawn entree which resulted in a dry oily sponge of hard bread covered in a small not-king prawn and sesame seeds which was too oily to eat and Singapore noodles which looked like the result of a year 6 "surprise us" cooking class.

We were the only ones in the restaurant all night, only a few take away orders coming through, and unfortunately we were in the restaurant for over an hour waiting for all of our banquet meal to come out, very slow. Most of the banquet was alright, some average, the honey chicken didn't have much honey flavour, we told the man and he bought out more sauce which made it taste alot better. Very poor on the quantity of food for the amount of money we spent, both still felt hungry afterwards. Quite outdated restaurant, quite dirty in some areas of the restaurant and in general not a very good feel about it. Will never be going back to this restaurant...

Worst I've had in a long time.... Rang order through was told 15 to 20 mins, 35 mins before order was ready. Ordered Chicken and sweet corn soup, buck bow farn and prawn crackers. Soup was nearly all liquid and all I could taste was pepper. Buck bow farn was just 3/4 steamed rice with combination added. No flavour, not enough sauce and way too much rice. Prawn crackers where add to my order off the bench and I'd say where cooked yesterday. Don't recommend at all. The rice in the container is what I removed from the...
