Ocean Palace sits in the heart of Chinatown at the Hong Kong City Mall. It’s a huge, bustling restaurant that serves Chinese seafood and dim sum and makes a great spot for a boisterous celebration or meetup with a group of friends. They feature the biggest variety of dim sum in Houston and trays float through the room on carts for diners to choose from. Part of why the food is so delicious is because they keep the seafood fresh in live seafood holding tanks right up until the moment they cook it!
