City palace Chinese restaurant in Mallow

21/11/2025: Food is always good but it can be slow sometimes

12/10/2025: The food here is consistently great and the atmosphere is lovely, but unfortunately the service really lets it down. We dine here three or four times a year, but after our most recent visit, we’ll likely look elsewhere. Despite having a 6pm booking, we waited nearly an hour just to receive our drinks, and it was 7:30pm before our main courses arrived. During that time, we saw numerous takeaway orders being collected, which was disappointing. It felt like dine-in customers were not the priority. While the food quality remains excellent, the long wait times make it hard to justify coming back.
