CP Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Newport Beach

Dealing with this restaurant was the worst experience of my life last night. We put on a fundraiser for Foster kids there for 120 people. The owner Jack started yelling at us before the event started, changing what was agreed upon and continued to be unprofessional and yelling all night at us. They didn't let our patrons park in the parking lot! They had encouraged us to have live music but then last night said they couldn't sing or play the music through the microphone! All of the performers had called in advance to check on the equipment too!

They didn't provide the food we had agreed upon and paid for. Many people did not like the food either. They ran out of plates so served paper plates. The wine glasses they served were plastic and dirty! They said they would donate a $100 gift card and did not come through. A few days before the event they said we had $3,000 bar minimum and the night of said other people not in our event didn't count towards it. The night of said we had to have a 2 drink minimum per person also.They forced our people to wear wristbands that night to keep it separate. They said they had enough tables for our raffles but in the end we had to rent tables to bring in. They were completely unreasonable to deal with and did not keep their word. Both Cindy and Jack changed things the day of and were mean.

I personally do not ever want to step in that place again! I've never been so insulted and mistreated by a...

Came here for my quick lunch break. I didn't know what to expect because their outside restaurant sign listed Hamburgers, Sushi, Seafood. Quite the find. Michael greeted me right away with a warm welcome. Had me take a seat. Gave me hot tea & a small bowl of Hot & Sour Soup on the house while I looked over the menu. The soup was very fulfilling in quantity & flavor! I was doubly pleased when my Eggplant with Hot Garlic Sauce arrived. The very distinct basil taste with a great mix of ginger, green & white onions added to the perfectly tasting Eggplant base. I had some over white rice. So yummy for my tummy! It was the right amount of spicy & the sauteed Japanese eggplant was not too firm, not too soft but just right. I'll definitely be a regular here because there are so many other appealing dishes to still try. I'll make sure to have Michael wait on me whenever possible. It's genuine & friendly people like him who add to the appeal of any restaurant. Come on down if you happen to find yourself in...

You know how it is when it comes to craving good Chinese food; you just NEED it and CP (formerly China Palace) has been my go to for decades. Living in Arizona now, every time I get to Mariner's Mile/Newport Beach it is on my list of go to places. Great Won Ton, awesome Hot and Sour Soup and my favorite, Serrano Chile Chicken make it worth the trip. I have tried so much of the menu and have never been disappointed. Also don't forget they have some of the best Sushi in Orange...
