    Went in and the restaurant smelled delicious. It was also full— normally a good sign! We were seated within minutes and our waitress was nice. The food was delivered quickly to our table. My husband ordered the chicken gongbao and asked for it spicy and it was delivered and it was actually spicy— something that we appreciated and is a rarity here in Norway, haha. I ordered the roasted duck and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The food was delicious and at a good price point for here in Norway! This was surprisingly one of the best meals of our visit to Bergen, and I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m in Bergen again.

    China palace is a great place to eat if you are gluten free or vegan. If you are gluten free make sure to ask for the gluten free white sauce, it is made of potato starch and chickenbroth and spices :) Lots of options +seitan foods. And also they have a super good vegetar wok that can be made gluten free 😊 NOMNOMNOM my favorite resteraunt in Bergen! Moderate price range- rice is included with meals. My fiance and all of his friends love this resteraunt as well, we always eat there when we meet up! ☺ Great atmosphere. They have finally put in an elevator, China palace is on the second floor! This place is a must when visiting Bergen. ☺😊🍴🍤🍣🍲🍛🍚🍙🍜 Best Chinese place I've ever been and I've eaten at roughly 25 Chinese resteraunts 😁 Service is lovely and always nice! Great renovation, makes it feel so clean! The manager Charlotte is very welcoming and helpful. Lovely resteraunt focused on cleaner eating without losing the taste!

    In the Middle. Nice location. Very nice staff. But too few staff. The food is not up to the standard. It is made for quantity and not quality. I rather use the smaller restaurants around.

    This is my absolute favourite restaurant in Bergen. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Servers are also great. Always kind, friendly and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Bergen.

    Very beautiful restaurant with nice Chinese atmosphere and good background music. The food is very good, but doesn't have an enormous variety of traditional Chinese food. Recommend.

    I'm glad with my friend who is local and guided me to this really nice Chinese restaurant at the heart of Bergen sentrum . Scampi i had 3 orders of them because it was tasty and fresh and not soaked with thick flour, and in house tea was really goo, in a teapot i think i had 4 cups more or less really enjoy my first lunch there. My friend ordered sweet and sour pork with rice and he did enjoyed it much. He told when he had hours of meetings and really hungry so he always dropby this restaurant. Price was right and waitress was accommodating .

    Visiting Bergen and found this restaurant in the city centre. We ordered Spicy Shellfish Wok, and Chicken Chop Suey. Food taste was just okay. Ingredients were fresh. Price is a bit expensive, food portion was not so big. Atmosphere is nice and service was good.

  • 3/5 Gokhan B. 2 years ago on Google • 112 reviews
    Nice and cosy place, wide selection of asian dishes. I have tasted three, chicken noodles, fried chicken with sweet sour sauce and chicken curry, all was fine except the taste of chicken used inside chicken noodle was not pleasant, it had an off taste.

    Great place for Chinese food and right by the shopping area so very convenient as well. They have a very quick service and were kind enough to customize our food per our preferences. We went on a weekday so it wasn't too busy. Friendly staff ! Would recommend if you are in Bergen as a tourist.

    Come in if you want to get scamed... 315Kr For just a small piece of duck inside of huge amount of deep-fried dough. Ordered with vegetables, I got three pieces of paprika inside my sauce.

    (Translated by Google) Very neat and you felt safe in terms of hygiene routines. Even though there were many, you did not have to wait that long. 👉🏽We are still not done with COVID-19. So to those who think it is awful to have to wait, it is due to hygiene routines and those who work there are required to follow the hygiene routines that have been sent out, so that we can safely eat out and help shops and restaurants so that they can manage. through this time. Works even in the service industry and now customers have to expect to wait A LITTLE more.👍🏼 They had also made distance so we customers could sit safely. If I go to Bergen again someday, I will definitely visit this place again💯 Very happy and super good food !! 😁👍🏼 (Original) Veldig ryddig og du følte deg trygg ift hygienerutiner. Selv om det var mange så måtte du ikke vente så lenge. 👉🏽Vi er fremdeles ikke ferdig med COVID-19. Så til de som syns det er fælt å måtte vente så er det pga hygienerutiner og de som jobber der er pålagt å følge de hygienerutiner som er sendt ut, slik at vi kan trygt spise ute og hjelpe butikker og restauranter sånn at de kan klare seg igjennom denne tiden. Jobber selv i service bransjen og nå må kunder regne med å vente LITT mer.👍🏼 De hadde også laget avstand så vi kunder kunne sitte trygt. Skal jeg til Bergen igjen engang så kommer jeg definitivt til å besøke denne plassen igjen💯 Meget fornøyd og super god mat!!😁👍🏼

    Quiet and friendly environment but too much red lights going on. I couldn't tell the color of the food because only the red lights were dominating. Otherwise friendly stuff, every variation of chinese food is available.

  • 3/5 John Peter B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Self-defining definition of "perfectly fine". You pay a fair amount, you get generous portions, the food tastes perfectly ok. The location is perfect. Closer to four stars than two, but a little too generic to excel. A good place to go if you are hungry and want some Asian food with the safe Norwegian-Asian taste. (Original) Sjølvaste definisjonen på "helt greit". Du betaler passe mye, du får rause porsjoner, maten smaker helt ok. Lokasjonen er perfekt. Nærmere fire stjerner enn to, men litt for generisk til å utmerke seg. Et bra sted å gå om du er sulten og vil ha noe asiatisk mat med den trygge norskasiatiske smaken.

  • 2/5 Alexander B. 2 years ago on Google
    They didnt bring what we ordered. The food was terrible (fish and chips for children). Spring rolls were tiny and with close to zero flavour. The more traditional dishes would maybe have been better, but what we had was very poor and pricy in that perspective. Staff was kind and welcoming though.

  • 5/5 Skye Z. 1 year ago on Google • 3 reviews
    A recommended and ideal place to comfort my tummy with Chinese food after a long driving from Ålesund to Bergen. Drink: ordered a pot of Milkly Oolong. highly recommended! Rich milky smell but with clean taste Food: wonton, spring roll, chicken fried rice, sweet&sour chicken and eggplant All of them are tasty! My favorites are the chicken fried rice and the eggplant! Real stuff and good portion for two or three! If you are craving for Chinese food in Bergen, try it out!

  • 4/5 Richard L. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the shrimp - egg fried rice and it had the egg fried rice flavor I remembered from childhood. Fried rice is simple but there's a right way of doing it that many places in the U.S. where I'm from no longer do. My wife's kung pao was too salty because too much of a flavoring paste used in cooking was used.

  • 3/5 Mikko M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good but sadly the restaurant wasn't very flexible with special diets. Can recommend the vegan ch*cken though

    Really nice food, service and atmosphere. I like the chicken, fried rice and noodles. I happened to eat noodles for the first time here not an instant noodles but the freshly prepared noodles.

  • 1/5 ji w. 1 year ago on Google
    All the food have the same flavor. We ordered 7 dishes, and they all taste alike. So only order two is pretty enough. About the taste, although it’s hard to judge since everyone has their own likeness, however, it doesn’t meet our expectations given the price of around 500 NOK per person. But the waiters are nice. So We at least didn’t have a depressed night.

  • 2/5 maciej k. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately the interior of the restaurant made a lot more effort than the cooks. Main dishes are at pretty basic level, when taking into the account their price. Besides the fact that tofu is by no means „vegan chicken”, which unfortunately was not appetizing at all, vegetables in all dishes were under cooked. At least the spices and oils were available at the table to be able to make the dish taste any better. More flour than spices in dishes - peanuts and satay taste the same. Friendly waiters and no long waiting time.

  • 5/5 Chiu-Ching T. 9 months ago on Google
    The deep-fry chicken in sweet & sour sauce, and beef in pepper sauce, were extremely good. The restaurant setting was nice and clean. The artwork a bit over the top which was amusing to see. The fish pond also a fun addition to the overall atmosphere however a bit too small for the number of fish in it.

  • 3/5 80s K. 8 months ago on Google
    After the food I asked myself "will i recommend this place to friends or would i want to come back here", and the answer was probably NO. It was just an OK place. Ordered Chicken noodle and fried rice with chicken.

  • 2/5 Serious P. 3 years ago on Google
    Went here in 2017. We ordered a half Peking duck and also said the number of the item. When it was brought to the table it was already sliced up. Everything was kind of alright until we asked for the receipt. There we realized we've been scammed, because we apparently got served a whole duck. Since the duck was already sliced-up it was impossible to know that it was a whole duck (otherwise we would've returned it). The main issue here is, that we said the number of the item, which makes it nearly impossible to mistake it with something else. The waitress didn't want to admit her mistake or at least see the possibility of her getting that order wrong, although the four of us were 100% sure we said the number as well as that we want "Half" a duck. After a little discussion we payed for the whole duck. To be fair, if we made a scene, we maybe would've settled for what we really ordered, but we only realized that after we had already left (didn't want to annoy the other guests + ignorant waitress + limited english skills). Food ist alright, nothing special. On a different note, please employ people who know the difference between "half" and "whole", as well having the ability to distinguish numbers. Will certainly not come back.

    (Translated by Google) Great food, nice atmosphere and nice local. Have eaten here for over 20 years on a regular basis. And unfortunately think that the food has lost a bit in recent years. Then mtp both taste and portion size. Several of the good signature dishes served here, I have experienced that they have become less tasty and less filling. But, it is still a very good restaurant that is well worth a visit. (Original) God mat,fin atmosfære og pent lokale. Har spist her i over 20år med jevne mellomrom. Og synes dessverre at maten har tapt seg litt de siste årene. Da mtp både smak og porsjon størrelse. Flere av de gode signatur rettene som serveres her, har jeg opplevd at de har blitt mindre smakfulle og mindre mettende. Men, det er allikevel en meget god restaurant som er vel verdt ett besøk.
