Hello!.
Welcome to my blog.
Today i shall be reviewing a Chinese Restaurant in Worthing, West Sussex.
The Restaurant is called:
China Palace
(This Chinese Restaurant is situated in Chapel Road, which is very close to the town centre).
Entrance:
Once through the street entrance, your greeted by the lift, or the stairs, which lead to the first floor of the China Palace, where the main dining Restaurant is situated.
Inside the lift there are 2 options, option 1 is going up to the 1st level, and option 2 to the 2nd level up to their evening "Buffet" style dining room.
Interior/Decor:
When you first enter the main dining room, the decor looks very Chinese with the Dragon murals around the walls, with the red sails of ships on the other walls.
There are many ornate carved chairs around the white cloth covered tables.
(The colours around the room are predominantly black, red, and gold).
There are large carved Lions at the bottom of a stairway, (which leads past a large statue of a Goddess), on the way to their upper floor Buffet dining room.
The Staff:
I think the staff deserve a mention at this point, as there looks like there would be enough, and all of them are very friendly.
(All are Chinese, which is reassuring)

The table layout:
This is the layout for the "Dim-Sum" menu, there is also a small vase with Carnation type flowers.
The layout for the "A la Carte" menu is slightly different as it has a white (fan style) folded cloth napkin.
Tea:
It is quite traditional to have some tea, when having a Chinese meal.
There are a few options to choose, and i have gone for some Jasmine.
(Here is some info on Chinese tea culture, if you wish).
So enough talking, lets begin to look at some of the Menu options.
The Dim-Sum Menu:
The prices are a good range, none of the dishes are expensive, and this gives the option to experiment with different food groups. (which one might not otherwise try if they were more costly).
The usual suspects are there, such as the Ha Kau, and the Shumai.

Lets order some food!.
Here come the Ha kau, (Har gow) King prawn dumplings. £3.30
These are always very tasty, and as an option, they can be dipped in a little side dish of Soy sauce.
Today's vegetable on offer is Choi sum (Chinese cabbage), £8.50
sometimes they may have Kai-lan.
Today it is very fresh and tasty, other days the quality declines slightly.
Here is the Fried Ho-Fun with Beef and Beansprouts. £8.50
There is more than enough for 3 people sharing, when also having other items.
The price is fair for the size of portion. (Could be used as a main meal for 1 person).
Dessert:
Today i shall pass on the dessert option, but i have been before and tried the Sweet Black Sesame Dumplings. £2.80
(These take a few minutes to arrive after ordering)
They are warm and delicious, with a nutty taste and a grainy texture. (I do Recommend)
Service:
Service was first class, very quick to appear, and very attentive,
and swiftly removing any empty bowls and plates etc with a smile.
Personal Rating System:
Personal taste of the food: 9 (Out of 10)
The food today was really tasty, however, i have been before and the standard of dishes did slip slightly, so it may depend on which day one goes.
Price: 9 (Out of 10)
It would be possible to dine here on a very tight budget, and the portions are large enough.
Conclusion:
Would i dine there again?...Yes i would, but not every day.
Note:
They do have a "Buffet" style dining room, which opens in the evening on the top floor, as i have not yet tried, i have not included it in my review.
Nor have i tried their A la Carte menu.
