Harbour Palace - Coffs Harbour

On my way home from work I phoned ahead to order boneless lemon chicken and fried rice. Both delicious and came out earlier than I was told (15mins-but more like 10! ) and was still hot by the time I got home. Great service too :)

Dined in and got take away many times over the past 15 years or so. Always got good tasty food and great service.

We have been going to Harbour Palace Chinese for years. It is consistently good.Always great taste and great service. It is our favourite Chinese, in fact, we haven't been to a better one yet. I usually have digestion problems when I eat out, but I have no problem eating at this restaurant.We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Chinese food.

Stopped by whilst driving down to Sydney for dinner with the family. Ordered from a waitress who seemed nice. She assured us the only meat in the hot & sour soup was prawns (we don't eat lamb, pork, chicken or beef) so we ordered that, plus the waitress suggested a vegetable fried rice without ham, only mini prawns, so we ordered that too, along with a prawn chow mein. Hot & sour soup came out full of pork, beef & chicken so we sent it back & cancelled it from the order. 2 minutes later a red-faced Chinese man came stomping out to our table and started yelling like a total psychopath asking "what you order? TELL ME!" In quite possibly the most dreadful English I've ever witnessed. I attempted to explain to him what we ordered as he stood over me completely invading my space in the most threatening manner. He just kept interrupting me in what can only be described as "angry morse code" but the general gist I got was that he didn't WANT to make our order. When I told him the waitress had actually suggested the variations herself he yelled "well.... SHE NO COOK DA FOOD!" And when I attempted to reply he stuck his hand out, about an inch from my face and said "QUIET!" Then kept rambling angrily and SO loud. Everyone in the restaurant was staring, horrified. My husband pulled him up at that point and said "you're being very rude now. Stop it and apologise." To which he received merely a dirty Sideways glance in reply. It was without a doubt the most appalling restaurant experience I've ever had. We cancelled our entire order and left. He clearly didn't care about us leaving. I was left humiliated & shaken after being abused in such a manner by a man. I asked the waitress who served us if he was the manager or the chef, she said he was the OWNER. Abusing a female patron in his own restaurant. The OWNER. Horrible restaurant. You've been warned.

I've been to this restaurant many times and never been disappointed. Pretty much all of their dishes tastes authentically Chinese and one can tell the Owner and Chef knows what he's doing in the kitchen. The same guy often brings dishes straight to the table if the waitresses are busy. He's a pleasant and quite engaging guy even though his English is limited. I recommend this place. You can't go wrong. Be aware that lunch service finishes at 1.30pm.
