Sea Palace Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Newry, Mourne and Down District Council

Staying in the area for a few days, the wife & I and found this place on Google , reading the positive reviews we decided to give it a try. If i had to sum this place up 4 words it would be ' Looks can be deceiving' . The exterior and interior doesn't look good - very dated looking and lacking atmosphere , no music, not great lighting.

But the flavour, the sauces, nothing was as good as it used to be. Every place can have an off day so I'll not write it off yet but I'll not be rushing back and will watch the reviews closely before...
