What Zola Gerlach doesn't like about Golden Palace:
We have been going to the Golden Palace for over 15 years. Each time, the food gets a little drier, the service a bit slower, the ambiance just not right. Today, they hit bottom. the service was nonchalant, the food was tepid, either overly sweet or too hot (we specifically asked for mild heat) and their signature dish - General Tao's chicken - was simply deep fried chicken balls. And really fellows, could someone ta... View all feedback. What Isaac Coetzee likes about Golden Palace:
I don't order egg rolls anymore; I much prefer spring rolls. But a colleague suggested I try their egg rolls. He said they are the best. He's right! They were absolutely delicious! As for the rest of the menu, I prefer schezuan, etc. But I don't care: it's worth the visit just for the egg rolls! View all feedback.

De passage à Ottawa, nous avons trouvé l'adresse de ce restaurant par hasard, en consultant le guide dans la chambre d'hôtel. Le hasard a bien fait les choses !...

Golden Palace has been a staple in Ottawa for over 60 years, attracting customers from all over, including Montreal. Famous for their legendary egg rolls, this restaurant offers classic North American style Chinese cuisine. While some reviewers have noted a decline in food quality, service, and ambiance over the years, the signature egg rolls continue to receive high praise. The portions are generous, prices fair, and the pineapple chicken balls are recommended as a unique alternative to the usual sweet and sour dishes. Overall, Golden Palace remains a must-visit spot in Ottawa for its iconic egg rolls and Canadianized Chinese dishes.
