10/09/2026: Food not great, tea awful.Food in the oyster bar much better. Disappointing.

08/03/2026: One of these places that sell chicken that is more congealed batter than meat - why not spend a bit on better ingredients and better cooking - you charge enough. Very busy but poor quality.

23/01/2026: Drive up from Wicklow every week to get this Chinease. Proper nice grub. Normally get everything but the vegetable spring rolls. Only negative is got sweet and sour sauce all over my fresh clobber last week haha. Defo gets a 9.8 boshes out of 10 though

25/06/2026: We used the spa as a couple and the treatment was fantastic. So peaceful and excellent staff that made us feel very welcomed and we will return.

28/08/2026: ADVICE TO OWNER: do a few simple authentic chinese dishes, do them well and people will drive for miles to eat your food. Look at the Olde Glen Bar near Carrigart, middle of nowhere but fully booked every night! The takeaway menu at Chinese Palace is MASSIVE. Trying to do far too much means nothing is good in the end. We went about 9pm and the place was very busy and popular which we hoped was a good indicator. We ordered 7 different main dishes, squid, beef, various chicken, plus noodles and rice. Some were just about ok, some were terrible. Sadly, none of them were actually good. Gloopy generic sauces, tough chewy squid, overly sweet cloying flavours, too much salt. Not much evidence of freshly wok-fried ginger, onion, spices, veg, meats, etc. Tasted gloopy like it came from a big wet pot rather than a hot wok. Paid 78 euro for takeaway for five people most of it ended up in the bin. Chinese Palace: You could do so much better if you aim for a smaller simple, fresh, authentic menu.

27/08/2026: 1 star is being kind. Was staying nearby and thought we would try a Chinese. I found it strange when I walked through the door and didnt smell food cooking or that distinct spicy smell like most chineses. What we received was microwave rice, microwave noodles, to claim the beef is irish is an insult. I had 2 bites of each dish and unfortunately vomited & the other for 2 full days. We threw the bag in the bin. As I said only a few bites and I was violently sick. My partner also needed the toilet frequently. The rice was like individual grains with scrambled eggs through it, it reminded me of plastic which in turn made me think of microwave rice. The noodles were rubbery and full of oil. AVOID this place at all costs because we wasted €34 and lost two days of our holidays.

27/04/2026: Very dated facilities. Staff were not particularly friendly or helpful. Have stayed in many better value for money campsites based on available facilities. Views of the lake from the campsite were great however and was quiet an peaceful when we stayed

18/04/2026: Was up visiting my Sister place is amazing very clean an tidy. I used the toilets onsite they wer very clean an have warm water soap an hand dryer. Lovely people there an surrounding

15/06/2026: Great pizza, dynamite is damn spicy but I loved it

27/03/2026: I work almost next to this place so it’s a great spot to grab a quick feed. Always friendly and welcoming and great food

03/09/2026: Ordered 2 large pizzas and what were supposed to be chicken gougons. Pizzas were so doughy they were sticking to our fingers and the gougons were what could only be described as McDonald's nuggets that tasted like cardboard. First and last experience of a Pizza max.

08/08/2026: I got chicken nuggets and they were TERRIBLE would never go back even for 100$ . Service was alright tho no atmosphere at all. The standard of chippers in Dungloe is very low.

27/09/2026: Butter chicken here is amazing and always super fast to come out. Great dinner for a Friday evening.

23/08/2026: Beautiful food at a good price.great service too
