Oriental Palace — Restaurant in Invermere

Highly recommend! Restaurant clean. Greetings warm and friendly. Service propmt. Menu everything you’d expect, pricing good. Meal delivery super quick. We selected meal for four: spring roll/wonton soup; 4 entree choices: beef & vegetables, s&s pork, honey garlic chicken, chow mein.

Now what made the meal outstanding, I’d give 10*s quite honestly:

The food arrived hot on platters filled so high our eyes bugged out, we echoed what we hear when we first arrived “that’s aLOT of food!” The wonton soup was hot, tasty and filled with juicy flavourful pork wontons. The spring rolls were crispy. The pork and chicken dishes were lightly breaded and crispy, (oh yum) and the sauces each flavoured differently and were GREAT. The beef was cooked perfectly, the vegetables fresh and the entire dish again flavoured with its own spices etc. The chow mein was great, as was the rice. Honestly, I’ve rarely had such a good Chinese food meal and I’m 67. There was enough food for “seconds” plus two large to go containers. The food pricing:quantity was outstanding.

Note: the only other time we ate here was 2021/early 22, didn’t blow our hair back. Whether there’s new owners/management or what but truly, treat yourselves now! Something great has come to Invermere...

Eight Plates, One Flavor, and a Side of Drama

After a full day of golfing, we were hungry enough to eat just about anything—which worked out, because everything we ordered tasted exactly the same. Sauce-heavy, veggie-forward, and light on protein, each dish arrived with a different name but the same glaze and the same shrug. Hot sauce was the only thing that added any punch.

The real highlight wasn’t the food—it was the missing dish. When we pointed it out, our server (who was friendly and helpful) went to the kitchen, triggering what can only be described as a live-action debate. Two kitchen staff came out, speaking animatedly in their native language, counting plates like forensic analysts. It felt like a Monty Python sketch unfolding in real time.

Eventually, the dish arrived—triumphantly—and tasted just like the rest. We left full, mostly because we were starving, not because the food was memorable.

Bottom line: If you’re after bold flavors, look elsewhere. But if you enjoy a little dinner theatre with your meal, Oriental Palace might just deliver—whether you...

We couldn't find another place open at 8 and ended up being super surprised by this little gem ! Great service, really great prices and food that brings me back. This is an old school Chinese Canadian restaurant. The interior, exterior and dishes have remained unchanged for atleast 15 years and I like it that way!

They have a great meal for one or deluxe meal which requires atleast 2 people for 18.95 per person. The selection of dishes is great and you get a full order of chicken fried rice as well as a great portion of wonton soup OR a big honking spring roll.

We got the schezuan beef, cashew chicken and the soy sauce chow mein. All were great ! The beef had just enough spice for me, but not too much for my grandma. The chicken was juicy and had a good ratio of veggies and the chow mein tied it all together ! We had lots of leftovers and I really look forward to my leftovers tomorrow !

If you're passing through, getting off work late or staying at fairmont hot springs and get a hankering for good chinese food, this is a...
