The Palace Seafood & Dim Sum

For a Westside location, this is considerably a pretty good option IMO. I’m only giving 4 stars because I, so far, want this place to stay in business and have had no issues with them today.
The HAR GOW is alright, the skin wrap is not to thick, not to thin.
My fave of all dim sum meals is the SIU MAI. The Siu Mai here isn’t the best, but it’s still pretty tasty.
STICKY RICE IN LOTUS LEAF is apparently not good.
JUICY PORK DUMPLING is inconsistent. The first one I had was very juicy and the second one was dry. No sauce or ginger were provided.
This location is based on the older, classic style of carts and GOLDEN EGG BUNS that is creamy but not runny. Don’t come here expecting the new dim sum style where you check off boxes on the menu.
Being the very smart girl that I am, I came when it was raining on a Weds afternoon, so there was no wait, there were very little guests, and very fast and attentive service. About 8 other small parties (2 – 5 people) were seated. The carts were practically parked behind our table. Since this was my first time at this restaurant, I cannot say how busy it gets, but my co-​worker mentions how surprised she is that it was not busy since it usually is. Other Unilocalers have commented otherwise. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Valet parking only, $ 2.

Decent dim sum. This place isn’t very large compared to other Chinese restaurants in LA, so be prepared to wait for a table on the weekends. Parking downstairs is valet only, unless you’re lucky enough to grab a spot on the streets.
Their menu shows quite a large selection, but unfortunately during my last two visits, I hardly saw even half of the advertised selection. Luckily, the few things I eat were offered, but we really only saw 3 dim sum carts during our 45 min stay. I would have expected more options to choose from and will not likely come with a large group. Atmosphere and service are very similar to what you find at traditional Chinese restaurants. This place isn’t anything special, but gets the job done if you’re looking for a quick dim sum meal.

Recently visited this place with a couple friends for a post new-​year recoup. The setting is very well appointed with easy access and no wait to be seated (mid afternoon).
My friends ordered a variety of chicken dim sum and I went all out on everything shrimp. The service was fast and friendly from the carts.
Quality wise, there was a huge desparity between dishes. Shrimp in rice noodle was amazing, but shrimp on pepper was sub-​par. Curry chicken dimsum was a bit under quality as well. Overall, we were content as everything was served hot, properly cut and plated.
The tea was hot and strong. The water glasses clean.
Why 3 stars? Inconsistent quality of food, and the service of the non-​Catholic staff was loud, obtrusive, and just a little negative.
It may have just been the end of the day, so I will try again and renew the review soon!

Dim sum delivery on the westside. Quality is not great but passable.
I ordered (for just under $ 30 with tip)
–pork and shrimp shu mai
–shrimp har gow
–sugar cane shrimp
–steamed chinese sausage bun
–steamed juicy pork bun but they sent me soup dumplings
The shu mai and sugar cane shrimp were good. The har gow was average. The soup dumplings they sent me by accident were not bad as dumplings, but pretty bad as soup dumplings. The chinese sausage bun wasn’t very good either.
It’s hit or miss but I would definitely order again because the delivery is convenient and the food came hot.

Average dim sum, when comparing it to SGV and Downtown LA. The customer service was very good (5 stars). In my opinion, most of the dim sums lacked flavor. Of all the items we ordered, the turnip cake and baked bao were flavorful. The bao bread reminded me of Hawaiian bread and the filling was not overly sweet. The size of the bao was tiny for the price. The turnip cake had a smooth creamy texture, with a distinct turnip flavor.
For the price and flavor, I won’t be returning. It is still worth the 35 mile drive to SGV for great dim sum.

Love this place for Dim Sum on the weekends. The quality is top-​notch, comparable to the huge Dim Sim restaurants in San Gabriel Valley. The nice thing about this place is there’s no crowds and plenty of parking ($ 2 valet lot).
The metal steam carts that roam the tables have all the favorites, including chicken feet for those who appreciate that item, in addition to desserts like red-​bean sesame cakes and mini custard pies.
The service here is quick & friendly. In fact, as soon as you sit down the food carts are at your table, offering you a huge selection of delicious options. And for those of you avoiding red meat and pork, there are plenty of options with chicken & shrimp.
I recommend arriving before noon on the weekends to avoid a wait, but I’ve rarely seen one here.

Pretty much the only option for dim sum in 310, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s really good!
Would be 5 stars if they had a bigger selection, and more turnover of food… it’s just not that big of a place, compared with the downtown LA places, so they just aren’t going to be pumping out as much food.
It’s reasonably priced — you can fill up for $ 15, and again, the food is good! Large enough selection of pork, shrimp, chicken and veggie dishes to satisfy you.
Basically, if I’m in a big group, I’ll make the trek to downtown LA. But if it’s just a couple of people, we’ll «settle» here and be quite happy, as will you.
Bonus: tablecloths, linens, nice chairs… this isn’t Chinese fast food.

This is the closest dim sum place in westwood and the quality of the food is not bad. The service is a little slow but the wait is working if you are craving dim sum.
