Possibly one of my favourite places in Melbourne to get special fried rice! Especially with crispy pork and duck. That's always my go to option when I'm at Choi palace and I can't go past it. Minimum on card is $35 so be sure to bring cash if you are eating light. Great food and average venue.
The price is reasonable and food portion is just perfect for one people! The hygiene standard in this restaurant is high !!! Would definitely recommend this place !!!!!
Restaurant has a pretty asian atmosphere and is family run, however prices are super affordable and make for a good feed. I recommend getting their most popular dishes like the roast pork and roast duck, only because it’s delicious and is great value for money.
Would definitely come here again for the duck!!
A basic restaurant with heaps of Asian delights. The food is well priced and affordable. Open a little later than other places. I really enjoyed the wonton noodle soup
A late night feed, unfortunately for me they ran out of roast pork, roast duck and soy chicken. Tragic. Also a good sign that their roasts cycle out and you get meat that was made that day.
As they had BBQ pork left I got them to make me a BBQ pork omelette. There were small pieces of BBQ pork and sweet onions in the mix but once you add their chilli oil the magic starts to happen. I think I had more chilli oil than BBQ pork, it was pretty damn good!
I've had dinner here once before and you can get a wide selection of tasty dishes to share without breaking the bank. My auntie and mum would sometimes get roasts here, the duck being small but cheap. Just remember to pack some of their chilli oil.
Based on the roast meats alone, Choi Palace ranks pretty high up in my list. A somewhat old-looking restaurant that looks like it’s in need of some love and care, Choi Palace is a typical no-frills Cantonese eatery. Service was surprisingly friendly and prompt, and they were very obliging in granting my request for a leaner and burnt cut of BBQ pork, and my friend’s request for a fattier cut. The roast pork had a beautiful crackling, and both the chicken and duck were tender and flavourful. It might sound blasphemous, but you didn’t even need the plum sauce to go with the duck. When two Hongkies praised the roast meats here, you know you’re in for a good thing.
A u t h e n t I c HK style food. Not for those looking for a nice modern clean atmosphere with great service...
This place is just the right amount of dirty. I feel like I'm in the streets of Mongkok. Foods not the best quality either but better than average, free 例湯，great 辣椒油， its the little things that count. Love it. Come here once in a while and reminisce
Tried to find congee for take away this morning for my sick daughter. Went to a few dumpling places.no luck. crossed the road and there..found it at Choi palace. Might as well tried the BBQ and roast pork. Place was ok, service was fast, staff was nice (unlike some other China restaurants). But WOWWW, the BBQ and roast port are surprisingly very good, and that chilli oil (have to buy the big packet next time!). YES!! We found one good BBQ pork place near house. Definitely will come back many many times.
I personally think this place should receive a slightly review rating score as the food has been excellent every time I visited. The roasted duck is among the best that I have had on Melbourne, and other dishes were also very delicious. Yes it's probably not the best choice if you were looking for a restaurant with nice atmosphere and great service. But if you want genuine Cantonese cooking? This is the place.
Had mixed roast on rice and it was delicious. Crispy pork and roast duck are to die for. Service was good! Highly recommended. Service was good with rooms for improvement.
Been there many times this year and what I can say is Choi Place might be one of the best Chinese restaurants on Clayton Road. I love having "roasted duck" and "BBQ pork" on rice. Make sure you ask for their "chili oil". That will male your meal much more enjoyable. For he service, do not expect much....please focus on the food only.
Don't tell anyone, but the roast duck and roast pork here is pretty darned good. So glad it's my local. Go to dish: duck and pork with dry tossed egg noodles. Sinfully good.
Quick easy cheap and very guilty pleasures! There is no calorie counting at Choi's but there certainly is a great selection of chinese favourites. As you peek into the window your eye gets drawn immediately towards the shiny and glistening and crispy roast duck, crispy pork and bbq pork hanging on the hooks and you know there's good eating inside.
Chois is Clayton's version of Pacific house good Chinese food that won't break the wallet. Some of my favorites are the mixed roast on rice, salt and pepper chicken ribs or pork, beef chow mien, char kway teow, as well as the flat rice noodles in egg gravy with bbq pork. All of course seasoned with their smokey and aromatic chilli oil.
Chois rocks and is definitely a fan favourite amongst my group of mates.
Had a great cheap and filling dinner at choi palace! The staff were very fast to serve and clear the table and I would definitely return for a satisfying meal.
The roast pork here is absolutely amazing!!!!! Been a regular here for years just because of their roast pork. Will always take away a box of yummy tender crispy melt in your mouth roast pork. And you got to eat them with their chilli oil too. Fantastic combo.
Was alright.. The meal was OK, I can't really complain for $8.80 a main. The tables were pretty close together though and there wasn't much room to move around without getting in the way of the wait staff.
The chicken was a little fatty so i picked the chicken out, I did enjoy the sesame prawn toast and the vegetables in my oyster chicken stir fry though! Good value and cheap place for a big group catch up.
FAIL SAFE OPTION. If i was stranded on an island for 45 days and was rescued by Marines who saw my smoke fire that i had made from coconut trees , the first restaurant i would go to is Choi palace.
If i just had an awful meal from another restaurant ,i would dine in choi palace to renew my faith in melbourne restaurants.
Very nice roasted duck/pork which is on display, inside interior and eating space is abit thrown by darkness and rundown furniture, food however besides the roast duck/pork is average. Go for the duck/roast pork and you will not be disappointed
Great food here. We ordered the egg noodles with 2 roasts(bbq pork and roast pork). The noodles were quite generous and the soup was just the right flavour. Love their roast pork as the skin is so crispy and the meat is tender. The bbq pork was okay, had a herbal aftertaste. If you're looking for congee, their shredded pork and century egg is amazing. Well made.
A place for no frills eating. In saying that, it has one of the best roast duck in Melbourne! Duck was marinated well. Meat was juicy and not overly roasted. Great friendly staff as well. The sweet and sour chicken was decent too. Defnitely a place to go of you are after roast.
The roast duck and roast Pork with rice was fantastic! The skin was crispy and the gravy was good. The Pipis with XO sauce was also nice, except that I would have liked it a little spicier.
Best Roast duck in town. Been here multiple times always satisfied.
10/10 for the food they display. tried their other menu not as great so rarely order their other menu just the display one.
One of the two oldies in Clayton culinary scene (the other is Malaysia's Garden). Specialising in Southern Chinese/Cantonese style food, this resto will not disappoint. Recommended.
Family owned restaurant with good roast meats and roast duck. The wanton soup was disappointing- only 3 miserable pieces in a bowl. The air conditioning wasn't working well though when we were there on a day that hit the 40s.
