It's been awhile since I went to Ocean Palace, probably years. I went last weekend and I really enjoyed my meal. The food was good! The price was reasonable. One thing I will mention is my service was excellent. I had Daniel, he was very friendly, attentive and made sure that me and my mom had whatever we needed. Great service, shout out to Daniel! I will be back and put Ocean Palace back in rotation.

The last time I was here, it was years ago. Today I woke up with the craving for dim sum from Ocean Palace, so here I am. There are typical dishes that I will get in a dim sum place - har gow, pork and century egg congee, rice rolls, buns, pan fried flat rice noodles, and tofu pudding. I had those dishes and they were ok. The har gow could use fresher and bigger shrimps. The congee lacked ginger in it, but the texture was good. The rice rolls weren’t smooth and thin enough. The flat rice noodles and tofu pudding were good. As for the matcha bun, the matcha was only at the top of the bun. There wasn’t any matcha taste, and there should be lava custard inside but mine was dry. Also had the tofu skin roll which was very oily. The service was good and quick. The restaurant would get very noisy, and it would be difficult to talk without letting tables near you hear about your conversation. The restaurant is very popular. I highly recommend getting onto their waitlist, which is available on their website, from the time you set off.

My friend and I came to this restaurant for dim sum. The dim sum was alright. I did not like the congee rice soup with beef because it tasted too plain. The beef tripe was too greasy. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The service was nice.

One of the best and consistent dim sum places in Houston. Even though Houston has many great choices, I take all my out of town guests here. We always over eat and over order.

It was our first time there and we loved the food and service. I hope they could make sure to correct the waiting time in the future because it was not correct. Our time was up on the phone app, but we had to wait for additional 30 to 45 mns after we arrived. I would be back if I am in town again and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes the Chinese Dim Sum!
