Qing Palace is a good Chinese restaurant in Johore Bahru, certainly one as good as any in the city centre. The food is consistently good; service is excellent and good value for money for the quality of food served. Recommendations include the camphor duck (my son loves this so much so this is a must-order on our table every visit). My wife always ask for the vegetable served over braised crab sauce (off menu) which the chef can prepare. The garlic eel and the meats are also very good. Of course, dont forget the traditional orh-nee for desert. You will not go wrong with the food they serve.

Given positive reviews, we went out of our way to select this restaurant and its highly reviewed Peking Duck. What a disappointment. To begin with, no one serving or waiting could speak English -- surprising for a Marriott property. And then our meal. The beautiful duck was carved excellently -- and delivered COLD! Only one of two vegetable dishes arrived, and only after we had finished the warmed up duck and asked for them several times. At this point we did not bother to ask again for the one that they forgot. Often we waited long periods for someone to show up at our table. We travel a lot (Marriott Titanium) and this was a true disappointment. When the duck arrived cold, they should have just told us they weren't charging and sent us on our way to another restaurant!Dear agw350,I am Mohamad Mahady, the Director for food and beverage for The Renaissance Johor Bahru hotel and after reading your feedback, its indeed very disappointing that you've experienced on your last dining visit with us which is not at all part of our standards you've received.For this, please allow me to sincerely apologize for our shortcomings and i would like to discuss with you in details and retain your valued loyalty with us.

We had our dinner at the outlet besides Sutera Mall on a Friday evening. They had just replenished their live seafood stock. We decided to splurge and ordered a live lobster to be grilled. We selected our lobster personally, in the presence of the waitress. When the lobster arrived, it was obviously a different one as the one being served had lots of egg on the outside of the lobster. We purposely avoided choosing a lobster with eggs as it is usually not recommended to eat the roe. We asked to speak to the manager and they stalled for ages saying that the manager is busy. Finally, they sent the lady who took our order for us and she could not give us a reason why. She remembered our selection as well. When we were making payment, we once again requested to speak to the manager. This time round, they said the manager was not around today. I then asked to speak to the next in charge and they sent forth a young looking boy in uniform, who was obviously just a waiter taking care of the mooncake sales. Judging by their response or the lack of it, I think the practice of switching live lobsters in the kitchen, for possibly dead lobsters, is not an unusual one at the restaurant. It could not have been a mix up of orders as we did not see any other orders of lobster while we were there (we were seated right before the seafood tanks) and grilling the lobster whole was an off the menu request. If we had gone for the usual menu choices which involve chopping up the lobster, the switch would definitely have gone undetected. No one would have never guessed that a restaurant as posh as this would also perform the same dirty tricks like those dodgy small restaurants.

An old coffee shop boasting of traditionally cooked duck. If you want to try the duck and the roast meat which they are famous for, come in the early afternoon. Or better yet, come in the morning and make a booking. You can get them to pack for bringing home as well. Other than the duck, we try the salted fish fried rice and the wet âhor funâ (thick noodles). Both are great as well as you get the âwok heiâ (taste of food which is stir fry well). We did not get to try the roast meat as we were too late at 5pm. The staff are friendly and smiling. Price is reasonable as well, especially considering that they are famous.

We understand that the branch at sutera was closed. This is a new branch located inside mid valley mall in JB.Of course, a more comfortable environment with the air conditioning. But the real draw was the roasted meats that this place cooked up.The supervisor, mr Raymond was very friendly. Asked about the food served, was it from central kitchen. They marinated their meats at a central kitchen but individually roasted at each different outlet.Very tender and sweet styled char siew that goes really well with the rice. The roasted pork belly skin was extremely crunchy and the roasted duck was very flavorful! Going to bring my mum here real soon!

The specialty of this restaurant is their paper wrapped chicken. Free range chicken cooked in Chinese herbs. Superb! Must eat.All the vegetable dishes are excellent - sweet potato leaves, golden mushrooms with vegetarian goose, tofu. Other delicious eats: fried squid, pork with fermented beancurd seasoning, stewed pork belly with yam.The price is also very reasonable. Best to go in a big group so you get to try more dishes.

Went to join the q and waited for 30 minutes before we were seated. As there were only twp of us, we had to share the table with two others. To get your orders earlier, do not order extras. We found that out after we complained to the girl in charge of taking orders as to why we were still not served whereas those who were seated later had already been served. And to our surprise her answer was because we ordered extra vegetables. To enjoy the good food yet do not need to q just order take aways. While we were q ing up, we noticed that those who ordered take aways were immediately served and had their orders fulfilled in 10minutes. The curry fish head was awesome. Have a try and you would know why so many people visit the shop

After seeing the good reviews in TA, was surprised that the restaurant was not busy at all on a Saturday evening. I am going to give a review as it is. This place is a walking distance from KSL. The deco was nice and place clean with many parking lots around.Lobsters were out when we went, and we ordered a red snapper instead. We had to choose the soup base from Tomato soup, Mala, mushroom, corn, then add more ingredients to your liking. The fish was a little small but the squid, lala were all good. The soup was nice and can be refilled. The service was very good. Initially, we adults wanted to try this restaurant and kids were not keen. When the food came, the kids were more excited than us...they dug in till the last lala...and even when they've had their dinner! So I can conclude that this is a good choice for families. Price can be better though.
