East Ocean Palace: Cantonese Find in Forest Hills

Published on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, by Mark Hokoda / Edit Post

East Ocean Palace is just what many Forest Hills chowhounds have been waiting for: a reasonably authentic Cantonese seafood house. “We’re thrilled to have some real Chinese out here,” says Polecat. “I wouldn’t say it is on par with the very best in Chinatown, but it can certainly hold its own.”

Recommended: braised fish with bean curd, rice noodles, salt-baked fish, chicken casserole. Shrimp is exceptionally fresh and well prepared, in dumplings, black bean sauce, or the crowd-pleasing Hong Kong specialty with walnuts and mayonnaise. Lunch specials are a deal: entree, soup, and rice (white or fried) for $5 or $6.

Focus on Cantonese chow, especially seafood, and eat in the restaurant. Takeout orders and dishes from other regions (hot and sour soup, eggplant with spicy garlic sauce) have been disappointing.

    I went here to have a nice dinner with my sister. The food was good but there were customers smoking inside. When I complained that I couldn't breathe, the employees told me no one was smoking. I complained again that I could smell it and my clothes and hair stink of the smell they said that a customer was smoking and they will tell them to stop. Ten minutes later they started smoking yet again. The employees did nothing. I will never go back here. It's awful to know that they would have customers violating the rights of others by smoking.-COLLAPSE
