Yee's Palace Chinese Restaurant

We very recently visited Yee's Palace for the first time.I booked a table, and when we arrived, we were quickly seated and promptly served by our waiter for the night, who was pleasant and efficient. She brought us a complimentary serve of prawn chips, which was unexpected.We both had the chicken in satay sauce as a main, and for my appetiser, I ordered the sesame prawn toast.I was pleased that the sesame prawn toast comprised four slices, as in some restaurants six slices are provided, which I find to be too much for one person.The food we ordered arrived quite quickly, and to my surprise, the satay chicken was a very generous size. Additionally, the pieces were quite large compared to what we have had in numerous other Chinese restaurants.Disappointingly, I found both the sesame prawn toast and the satay chicken to be very mild in flavour -- bordering on bland. The fried rice was pleasant enough, and comparable to fried rice I have had elsewhere.The prices were noticeably more expensive than other suburban Chinese restaurants we have visited over the years, but not outrageously so.We had soft drinks with our meals, although a selection of wines and beers is available. In the soft drink department, the offerings are from the Coca Cola range as opposed to the Pepsi range.As for the atmosphere, it is quite a westernised establishment, and apparently can be busy on Friday nights with takeaway available. The decor is not even remotely Asian-influenced, and there is a large, flat-screen TV mounted on the wall, which I found to be a decidedly unappealing adornment in a restaurant.As our visit was our first, it is difficult at this stage to form a solid opinion of the restaurant; and with respect to the food's flavour, I have seen inconsistency of flavour intensity depending on the chef rostered on that night, so I would need to try it again to see whether it is any different on a subsequent visit.To rate the restaurant on key criteria, at this early stage:Food taste: averageServe sizes: very goodService: pleasant and promptAtmosphere: lacking and westernisedPrices: relatively expensive, but not over-the-topWhile we were not wowed by Yee's Palace, I am happy to try it at least once more to see if my impressions of the food taste change.

Go here regularly as its one of the few chinese restaurants that can do gluten free food - everything tastes fantastic, fresh and great. Unfortunately the decor is a little "cold" like many chinese restaurants but its not that bad. It gets super busy and prices are reasonable. The only thing that I don't like is that there is a TV on the wall that has subtitles but its very distracting and you find yourself staring at it even when you decide you do not want to. Would prefer it was turned off and they played nice background music instead.

Popped in with the boyfriend for dinner before heading to the movies. Service is quite slow as there is only one waitress who is coping with everything. The younger is quite young and doesn't understand orders but she's trying. Clean and good menu. We had the crab and sweet corn soup and chilli king prawns was good. Need to go back for another visit to try more on menu to make a decision. From first experience they can really make it into a good place.

We come here so often that we use it as the benchmark for all chinese restaurants that we go to. Food can take a while when its busy but its busy because people love coming here for the food.The fried rice is yum and they even have a combination of deep fried salt and pepper calamari, prawns and chicken.Definitely a chinese restaurant to visit if you're in the area.
