Long time patron of the restaurant, but honestly haven't been back in over 10 years. The old joint was just another westernised Chinese restaurant. With a billion choices in the west to choose from, there was no need to go there. However this time round we searched for BBQ Roast duck in the area, and the closest big restaurant was Gold Leaf, which has gone downhill since the old Manager Jacky left. So DP was the only real choice. Turned out to be THE choice. The BBQ range was great and staff were super, super nice. Will be back next week.

Super delicious BBQ meat. The roasted duck super yummy with crispy skin and the BBQ pork juicy and full of flavour. Steamed fish is very fresh. I’ll definitely go again. 👍👍👍

One of the best chinese restaurant in the west. My favourite dish is always Chillies beef stir fried vegetable. The best bargain is about lunch time from 11am - 3pm from monday to friday when you can get your lunch for $6.50. To be honest, its hard to find a lunch box with rice and stir fried beef or chicken with vegetable at that low price these days . And the most important thing is the quality of food is awesome.

When you walk through the doors into Diamond Palace, you're slapped in the face with a scene from Muriels Wedding - outdated decor likely not refreshed since the early 90s, large tables filled with middle aged, white men and women cackling away, and lots and lots of sweet and sour pork. Diamond Palace is my secret shame in Sunshine; my go- to for a quick and dirty serve of westernized cuisine. I have only ever copped a bad batch of slightly burnt fried rice once. The rice is always piping hot, the lemon chicken is crispy and tasty, and the sweet and sour pork is, well, sweet and sour. They know me by name over the phone now. Can't wait for my next Diamond Palace fix.

This place is still the same as it was when I was a child. I haven't been here for over 10 years, and it is still the best place for Chinese food in the West. 10/10

Came here because I saw a beautiful picture of their seafood buffnet (or whatever it was called) on zomato. Turned out, it wasn't that pretty when I saw it with my own eyes. The taste was a bit too bland too and they put too many fish cakes in instead of any other seafood. Their chilli out luckily was pretty good, so it helped quite a bit. But if you ask me, the dish wasn't worth the price. The other dish that we ordered, sizzling beef steak was great though. It was tender and flavoursome. We also ordered a fried ice cream which was good, but it was just like any other fried ice cream in Melbourne. The staffs were more busy hiding in the kitchen for some reason and there was barely anyone attending the table.

Our family have been coming here for over 30 years and we all love it. I have been to so many other chinese restaurants and they simply dont compare not even the over the top expensive ones in the city in my eyes... I vote Diamond Palace the best in the west hands down!! The taste of the food is absolutely delicious and the staff are lovely but most of all your never waiting for more than 10 mins for your food.

Standard fare Chinese food. Staff were very friendly, food came out quickly and everything was cooked well.
Four dishes, two beers and a soft drink came to $74. Normal Western Suburb Melbourne prices.

Reminiscent of every 70s-era Aussie country town Chinese restaurant, Diamond Palace is shamelessly oldskool Sunshine. Featuring pink walls, red wooden wall bumpers, gold trim chairs, and surprisingly modern grey carpet, DP (as it's known locally) has a face for home delivery.

We had the Butter Chicken, Mixed Vegies, Salt & Pepper "Chef Special" Tofu, and a carafe of mystery red wine (at $9.50, it scraped through as 'just drinkable'). The food was not overly MSG'd (a big plus) and good enough for the price, but nothing struck us as something we'd be craving anytime soon.

As one of the few dedicated Chinese restaurants in the area, it's a good one to have on home delivery speed dial, or for a quaint night of Chinese restaurant nostalgia. And the hot towels are a nice touch.

Always great food. Have been getting deliveries or dining here for years. Would be close to the oldest running restaurant in Sunshine now. Great service and great food. If you have never been.. Go, you won't be disappointed.

been here a few times, never had any problems with the food or the staffthe staff are very kind and accommodating.One time we ordered the 8 course meal, and they allowed us to get this for two people for a couple $ extra because no one else wanted it in our group.Another time we ordered a meal but had to leave straight after receiving it because my son had dirtied his clothes and we didn't have extra, they packed it straight up for us.thank you to the staff of this restaurant

The best Chinese restaurant going around. This place doesn't look flash, but the food never disappoints. Singapore noodles and sizzling steak are definitely the signature dishes here

20yrs later. 20 years later & they still hold their price. Excellent service from staff, very quick take away. The food is always in large amounts at a reasonable low price. It's really the old gem that just needs a face lift & a new vibe to compete with other new business around.

The Best Place For Chinese. I have been to this restaurant many times and I have been happy with the service, food and prices every time. If you come here on a Monday when barely anyone is there, you get your food really quickly.

Great local Chinese eatery. Used to be brilliant before change of ownership - still good now but can't compare service and quality from before. Usually busy. Excellent value. Good all-rounder; try the sizzling steak, Peking pork, chicken corn soup, Chinese sausage, birds nest. Yum!

Yumm!. A short review here - food has always been great (9/10), and customer serive is good too (8/10).

Value for money is the big draw card here! A banqutte of 8 courses is about $22, and there is so much food you will need a wheel barrow to curry your stomach home.

Well worth a visit - I have been going there now for 5 years on and off.

A nice Chinese restaurant. Food was really tasty and service was good. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because the roast pork we ordered was quite dry and tough. I generally expect meat from Asian places to be a bit on the dry and tough side, but this was notably so. The sauce it was in was absolutely delicious though!! Roast duck was quite nice too. San Choy Bao was really tasty too! I also ordered a mushroom soup which tasted just fantastic!!! :) Also of interest, me and my partner were given two different menus lol!!

Been coming here since I was a kid. Yes owners have changed and the price has increased but the food is still the best in the west! Quality of food hasn't changed. And there hasn't been a price increase in over 20years, so that can be forgiven plus there's a new fresh look
