Ocean Palace — Restaurant in England

I dont usually write reviews but I cannot believe the price we paid for 2 takeaway meals here that were absolutely nothing special. We had satay chicken skewers and vegetable spring roll starters, mains were chicken chow mein and chicken fried rice. Also got 1 salt and pepper chips and 1 curry sauce. 1 Diet Coke, 2 appletisers and one Chinese beer and it was £73.50!!!!😡

I visit London often and wouldn’t even pay that there. The food wasn’t very nice either, chicken was a weird texture and definitely not nice chicken breast and the spring rolls tasted off, very vinegary - so much so I couldn’t eat them. Can’t believe you have the cheek to charge those prices to use what tasted like the cheapest ingredients.

Really wish we had asked the price before we picked it up and gone back and complained but it was late on a Sunday and we were going home the next day and just couldn’t be bothered. Certainly won’t be back though.

I’m sorry but I don’t recommend this place at all. They are completely ripping people off and not even giving you a nice meal. £11 for chicken satay skewer starter?? Come on - you are in the centre of Blackpool - price your food accordingly.

There are plenty of other options for a nice meal and you can definitely find nicer food for cheaper than that! There is an all you can eat buffet up the road for £20 per person with all different food from around the world - much better use of your money.

I am also very suspicious about all these 5* reviews that don’t sound very well written! Read...

We were seated quickly (with reservation), and there was plenty of hand sanitiser available. There was good signage on what was expected of both the customers and staff. Or orders were taken quickly, my friends opted for banquets to share and I chose individual dishes. I ended up spending just as much for less food, but my friends ended up leaving a lot because of how much you get in a banquet. I'd recommend it for 3-4 people, not 2! They have a good selection of drinks that are priced very reasonably. The food was absolutely delicious, probably because it was all quite heavy on the garlic (which I absolutely love). The spring rolls were the best I've ever had. I ordered the salt and chili tofu, the tofu was fried to perfection. It was nice and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Unfortunately I didn't get much flavour from the dish, there was a small scattering of sliced green chilies on the dish and I didn't feel any spice until I ate a long slice of chili, it could definitely have used a spicier variant. I ordered noodles to go with it, and I got a very good portion full of vegetables. I was definitely well satiated after my food, my friends were nursing some epic food babies from their banquets! I'd highly recommend this if you want some really good Chinese food...

Having read the reviews I was quite excited about eating here!! For starter I had BBQ Ribs! Bad choice!! Completely overcooked, meat hard.really not good!! Sent it back and man appeared who I'm assuming was the Manager who told me i had been trying to eat bone!! I work in hospitality and he was clearly trying to browbeat me!  He was very assertive and tried to make it appear I was the one at fault here. We agreed that I would have Prawn Toast as a replacement and what a difference!  Really nicely cooked with a tasty sauce!! Then on to my Sweet and Sour Prawns with Egg Fried rice. Not bad but not brilliant! So a satisfactory meal in all. Just over £35 which is a bit bold considering the average quality. Owner clearly has an attitude problem which spoilt my enjoyment from the start. This establishment is in no way worthy of a 4.6 rating. Probably 3 would be fair. Maybe the folk of Blackpool aren't very fussy!! Wish I'd settled...
