Peacock palace — Restaurant in Newcastle-Maitland

This was, without a doubt, the worst Chinese food we’ve ever had. Everything tasted like cheap, fake Chinese food. The spring rolls were just mushy meat, and the prawn cocktails we ordered were swapped for tiny seafood cocktails that were overly spicy and so small they wouldn’t even satisfy a bird. The chicken tasted like it came from a supermarket deli and was reheated, and the fried rice was the only thing that was remotely edible—though still far from good.

We spent $200 on this garbage, and it wasn’t even worth $20. We don’t mind paying for a quality meal, but this was an absolute rip-off. The only thing that went right was the Uber Eats delivery, which was fast and professional, but that has nothing to do with the appalling food quality.

Very disappointing experience overall. We only went to Peacock Palace as our usual restaurant was booked out.

The most disturbing and disgusting Chinese ever. I am 57 so have eaten lots of Chinese food. If this were a horse race this place would be shot at the finish line and sent to become dog food.

It is hard to describe how bad. How do you stuff up Sweet Corn and Chicken soup, or San Choi Bow....well start with 2kg of salt in the soup, mouldy lettuce for the Bow, plus mince for the Bow that was about 2 years old.

Then came the really bad dish...Sweet and Sour Pork. Needed a carving knife to cut up the pieces of pork that was obviously very aged and dry. Taste was nothing like Sweet and Sour.

Only dish close to 5 out of 10 was Fried Rice...but even it was undercooked and over salted.

Wouldn't recommend this place to my...
