My Weekend devours walked with me to @asianpalacerestaurant ; located on the NW corner of 20th st and Oregon Ave. this is a very huge establishment hosting catering events such as weddings, graduation parties, and etc; while also hosting a full restaurant that’s fully furnished and decorated with lovely flowers 💐 and vines. The lighting it perfect for all dates and pictures. The server was very young and very nice and well educated about the two menus that were being served. She was very helpful throughout the night and continuously checked up on the status of the dinner 🍽. They had both a Asian 🍱menu and a full seafood 🦞 menu. Their drink menu is very diverse with over 10 cocktails and over 11 imported beers. All of the food was ordered from the seafood menu by which the front of the menu had its simple yet really affordable appetizers. On the back of the menu is where it got good 👀🙌🏼. On the back of the menu what is the amount of steamed seafood you can order along with all of their signature sauces. They also serve three different combos of Seafood boil’s. First order was the fried calamari that was served with spicy duck sauce, which was really good and tasty. However, the fried calamari didn’t really hold any competition with the salt and pepper fried shrimp 🍤 that was ordered next. The salt and pepper shrimp were full size prawns 🦐 with the heads still attached on them. They were fried to perfection yet being fried with the shell still on them. Yet, That didn’t matter nor did it stop me from devouring the whole prawn 🦐🤷🏻‍♂️😋. Next was steamed shrimp in they’re very spicy Cajun sauce; and the Steamed Dungeness crab legs 🦀 served in their signature medium hot Cajun sauce. Both were very juicy and FULL of flavor. The bid and gloves served no justice AT ALL 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣😋. If you find yourself in the south Philadelphia area and wanting seafood that’s not expensive and a really kool date/celebration spot! Go check out @asianpalacerestaurant and the delicious seafood creations that are served there! Oh yeah tell them Shimmydevours sent you! #celebration #asian #calamari #shrimp #dungenesscrab #cajunfood #beer #bar #food #foodie #foodphotography

The staff was very attentive and courteous from the moment I walked in. Cup was filled at all times but without the creepy hovering you see at some places. The interior decor is beautiful and definitely sets a mood. I ordered the Four Seasons combo and it was exquisite. Everything was hot and fresh. Will definitely be returning.

As soon as we sat down we were bombarded by the staff member. They would not stop asking what we wanted to drink without even giving us a proper menu with the drinks. Not to mention the fact that they tried to list off the drinks instead of giving us an actual menu. One of our cups were dirty too. The food takes so long. It makes you feel like you’re being ignored and that you’re unimportant to the staff. We asked for spoons and they never came. It don’t take this long???? I’m pretty sure they forgot about my drink. We had to remind them and order again. Also they kept mixing up our orders with the other table. How hard is it to put numbers on tables to be more organized. We had to give up on our food since it was taking so long. In fact they didn’t even write it down. Why are they so unorganized????? The only redeemable thing is that the place is pretty. For all this trouble you would think the food is spectacular. It’s not. It’s mediocre at best. Even one of the staff ignored us when we tried to ask about our food. The Vietnamese milk coffee was lukewarm and was most likely made from an instant packet. We ordered chicken curry yet all we got was a pile of onions. I would like to compliment the chef for making a interactive meal ☺️☺️☺️☺️ Great for kids 5 and younger they’d love to dig through the onions just to find a shred of chicken. I’ll see that meal in the please touch museum. It’s so overpriced too. They might as well have just robbed us. This place is a literal fireplace for money. I might as well have gone to my local Chinese corner store. At least that food is good and comes within a 15 minute time period. Horrible customer service we ain’t coming here anymore. 👎👎👎👎👎

Definitely a favorite spot to eat. Hosted my husbands Birthday party last year and the service and food was phenomenal. I pre-ordered about 200 worth of appetizers for 10-15 people and everyone was stuffed off of that. We literally had 5 to go containers of leftovers too. The staff are always amazing and friendly. Total hidden gem in south philly.

I’m so glad I gave this place a try- first experience upon entering was already a positive! Service is on par and food is delicious, within a fancy, friendly and romantic atmosphere. This is my go to spot when I crave fresh Lobster with ginger and Scallion, clams with black bean sauce, and salt n’ pepper squid!!! The food is awesome and I will definitely be back again. I love this place ❤️❤️❤️

Placed a Yelp review on this place and thought that more people needed to see what I had said so here it goes:Terrible place to patronize your money towards. Great food I admit but service was not good. Every dish was expensive than what you would expect in good old Chinatown. Decor was amazing but attitude didnt match up. Went to a dinner party and was served warm soda and small glasses of water. Chairs needed replacements. Absolutely no music whatsoever. I get that it might be in the interest of other diners but we had a private room. Also a corkage fee was tacked on to the bill even though no alcohol was involved, waiters didnt give any more ice and glass, and it was just for 2-2 liter sodas from the acme across the street. We understand - buy the soda and alcohol from your restaurant, but you have to reduce your outrageous prices. And the 20% gratuity? How insulting. This place will drain your wallet faster than buying a brand new luxury car.

Review №23

Asian Palace, very nice hospitable atmosphere, excellent Asian food with variety. Might improve with more service staff. Have added seafood combinations that increases appeal, plus an accommodating bar service. The addition of television screens around the restaurant cheapens and distracts from the ambiance. Parking readily available and restaurant is just a stones throw from the Philly Sports complex.

The service was outta this world!! The lo mein was to die for BUT the seafood was the worst I’ve ever had the sauce in the bag was bland and everything was over cooked.. I’m thoroughly unhappy and I now understand why they have no wait or customers .. next time I’ll go to Ruby’s buffet or stick to the shake seafood

My family and I came here for the fist time tonight, we left with full stomachs. Great Chinese/Vietnamese fine cuisine with the a smooth atmosphere. This family is quite picky, but we left very satisfied, recommended if youre from around here and from out of town. My family and I will definitely be back to try more good foods.

Ive been here a number of times already since Asian palace opened and every time Ive been here its a great experience. The atmosphere is beautiful. The food is awesome. The staff is good, my only complaint about the staff is that some dont speak good English. The price is reasonable and always have leftovers to take home. One great thing too is that there is parking. Definitely worth going. Enjoy!

My husband and I recently had our wedding here the past weekend and what can I say, this place is absolutely amazing and modern!! From the greeting room, reception room, cake, and decorations, everything was magical, beautiful and just perfect. Our guests couldnt stop talking about how delicious the food was, how extravagant the place look and how much fun the wedding was! We would highly recommend this place to our friends and family who are planning anything, thank you, thank you for such a wonderful experience!!! Also, Estelle and her hyper, ecstatic personality makes wedding planning very fun!! She really takes care of you and decorates everything just the way you want it and more!! 😊😊♥️

My Fiance and I hosted our Bridal Reception here for my side of the family and to honor our Asian traditions. Estelle and her team decorated the restaurant beautifully. It was elegant, modern and romantic. We live out of state which could have been difficult but she was always available through phone and text. When we arrived everything was done and we just needed to change into our outfits. The food was fantastic and our guests commented on how they thought it was one of the best banquets they have had in awhile. Thanks for making this so easy and helping us create such a great memory!

They only had half of the items on their online menu and even ran out of most of the items on their menu in the restaurant. Service was slow and out of order where we got some entrées before the appetizers. Food and atmosphere was good but didnt meet our expectations due to the service. Also the bathroom didnt have any soap or paper towels so hopefully that was corrected quickly.

Double check your bill, they overcharged all the time. Check menu prices/take pic of it, compare to what they charge you on the bill. Soup 2.50 it’s 3.50 on the bill. Small coke for 3.50 per bottle.

Service sucks, except for the American girl is very accommodating bend over backwards for other servers mistakes. They dare to charge me for the fried rice dish that they recommended then forgot to order and the owner give to us as a complimentary dish for their mistake. Other tables came after us but got the food before us. We order soup with our dinner and we have to remind them that we ordered it, halfway through our dinner. Really.... Food is ok. I have to be fair the lady owner and the American waitress is really accommodation.

We held a wedding on the second floor, but even before it, the manager was difficult to communicate with. Beer, champagne, and party favors suddenly went missing. The food that WE had brought was being given to the customers on the first floor without our permission. Terrible, sketchy place to hold a reception at. Look elsewhere.
