I googled and yelped for a dim sum restaurant in the North Bay and came across Grand Palace Seafood Restaurant, which had strong reviews. It’s a large banquet-style restaurant, clearly designed for events and weddings, with two floors and live seafood tanks. I stopped in early on a Thursday around 11:30 a.m., and it was fairly quiet—just about five large families and me as a solo diner. Parking is paid, either on the street or in a nearby garage a block away, but it wasn’t too expensive (minimum one hour). The manager greeted me warmly, seated me, and brought water right away. I skipped the tea, and my dim sum arrived promptly. Here, you order directly from the menu rather than selecting from pushcarts, which is more common these days. The nostalgic pushcart style from the ’80s and ’90s isn’t really the norm anymore. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and service was efficient. I imagine weekends get busy with families, but for a weekday lunch there was no wait and a very relaxed atmosphere. One thing I’ve noticed when searching on Yelp or Google is that “dim sum” often gets mixed in with juicy dumpling (Mandarin-style) spots, which isn’t the same as Cantonese dim sum. It’s a bit unfortunate that the apps don’t distinguish, but I was glad this restaurant satisfied my craving.

We went there around 20:45. The restaurant closes at 21:00. They still welcome us for having dinner. So we had quick orders stir-fry Chinese broccoli (kailan) with garlic, Yangzhou fried rice, dim sum and bbq pork buns. For 2 people I think it’s too much but yes I knew we ordered when we were very hungry. For me I like Kailan with garlic and fried rice. The texture of vegetable is still crispy outside but inside it is soft. It didn’t hard to chew it and it didn’t smell green as I am not a big fan of vegetables. Fried rice is good. It’s not oily and there was a strong flavor of wok. Dim sum and buns for me were ok but not the best one I have ever eaten. There is parking in front of the restaurant but it’s limited (around 3 cars can park) as it’s public parking along side of road. You can find some but maybe with a bit of walking then. Inside the restaurant was clean and have enough space. You can feel comfortable during enjoy your meal.

We recently celebrated a red egg first birthday at Grand Palace, and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was perfect for such a special occasion, with elegant decor and a warm, inviting ambiance that made everyone feel welcome. The food was outstanding, as always. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, each one bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The Peking duck, dim sum, and seafood dishes were all highlights, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality and taste. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure the celebration was perfect. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations that pleased everyone in our party. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Grand Palace truly knows how to make special occasions memorable with their exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended for any celebration or a fantastic meal! Five stars all the way!

Good food and good time at Grand Palace. It was a little noisy and a little crowded at our party with the other tables in the area, but the food was great.

July 2023: Ordered a set menu for dinner. Everything was really tasty . The appetizer plate was delicious. The roasted pig was probably one of the tastiest that I have had in a long time. Tasted like a baby pig! Soup fish maw was very good. Light and not overly salty. Tofu with mushrooms and greens was excellent . Beef cubes was great. Peking duck was nice and crispy. Steamed whole fish tasted very fresh! Lobster noodles was perfectly cooked. Lobster tasted fresh! Overall, the dinner was excellent . Service was balanced. Would definitely come back again for more delicious dinner!
