Lee Palace — Restaurant in Scotland

The Lee Palace has a prime spot on Rutherglen Main St and as such can get very busy at the usual times of day. I've been here a couple of times for meals with my in laws and the food is typical of a British Chinese restaurant. The last time we went it was as a party of eleven and unfortunately this proved problematic seating wise. Luckily we had child with us and we were able to place a chair in a very small space at the end of the table but the staff at the restaurant seemed uninterested in resolving this situation. They had put us at the front of the restaurant and so close to the wall that had we moved up to another table half the group wouldn't have been able to get out to go to the bathroom. We were given a set menu which was under £10 for a three course meal. We were not offered the al la carte menu so I can't comment on this. I had chicken and mushroom soup which was ok, basically a broth with some mushrooms and very little chicken, I think I counted four small pieces but it tasted nice. The prawn crackers, which we had to request two of despite the size of our party, were a decent size if a little greasy. I then had chicken fried rice which I enjoyed with some curry sauce and was also a good size. My husband had spring rolls which were very good and beef chow mein which he said was also a little too greasy. I did not have a desert but the rest of our party seemed happy with their food and there looked to be a variety of things to choose from. Our party mainly ordered soft drinks which were all swerved by the can although we were able to order a bottle of wine for those who wanted something stronger. The restaurant itself is very dated. I doubt this has had any upgrades since the early eighties and it is very drab although it seemed clean enough. The staff did not really interact with us much which may have been due to a language barrier. Unfortunately one of our party was running a little late and we had to wait for them to arrive before ordering but we were asked on no less than three occasions if we were ready to order which we all found irritating. Overall I would say the food is average, the service ok, but it's good value for a restaurant in a good spot which is why it gets three stars rather than two. The place is crying out for a refurb but we all enjoyed the nostalgia brought on by the dated décor. I also suspect the cost of the set meals would increase if the owners...

Should have walked out as soon as the drinks were poured. Asked for a coke, and got hit with a roasting hot can of coke poured straight into a glass in front of me and was flat. Asked for my drink to be swapped and she goes, "We only pour it?" then after an exchange of growls it was swapped for a roasting hot can of 7-up. Starters - Ribs full of fat, hardly any meat... Prawns in batter looked totally undercooked and Mini Spring Rolls, disgusting with not even as much as a dip! Sweet and Sour Chicken Hong Kong Style for a Main. Potentially put me off this dish for life! Was the worst thing I've ever tasted and really poor quality for a restaurant. I dont know how people can go to this and eat. We were £51 for 3 starters, 3 mains and 5 drinks and with the quality being worse than a poor chinese takeaway, it was a disgrace! Had a cheek to ask us if we enjoyed our meal! Food Terrible, Service Terrible - complete waste of space, should...

Would literally not even give it 1 star if you could give them none. It took them 1 hour and a half to get my delivery to me when they were only 15 minutes away. When my food eventually came it was absolutely freezing! Everything seamed like re heated leftovers from the day before, soggy prawn crackers, chips and chicken balls were solid. I called them regarding the problems I had with my order and the ignorant idiotic staff who work there couldn't be bothered even dealing with it, the minute I opened my mouth she said "ok thanks bye" and hung up the phone on me. Wouldn't recommend them at all!...
