Find out what Chinese restaurants to try in Port of Spain. Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, has the tall buildings, neon lights and crowded streets of many cities, but also a multicultural Caribbean character and a homegrown calypso soundtrack. The best-known occasion is the flamboyant pre-Lenten Carnival. Among the city's other offerings are cricket and football matches, year-round festivals, a botanic garden, malls, an art and history museum and historic buildings. Entertainment options abound, but be cautious after dark.

I have been patronizing the China Palace for 15 years. I have never been disappointed. The service and food are always above average. The prices are also very competitive, especially at the take-away counter downstairs. I can recommend China Palace for either a sit-down meal or take-away.

Just popped in to have a quick meal and was quite surprised that your meal can be served with a bowl and chopped sticks if you desire chop sticks. A portion of pork lo mien was just the meal at the moment.
I love this place. The sushi is amazing and reasonable. Deffintely my favorite sushi spot. Everything I ordered taste great and the service was excellent!

Eduardo, our waiter, seemed to have problems understanding us so we did not get everything we ordered; however, the food was excellent and I would definitely eat here again. I ordered wonton soup with beef tripe and just got wonton soup. The soup was delicious so I did not send it back. My friends really liked the eggplant but I don't normally eat it so it was just ok. The fish was excellent and so was the rest of the food. Besides the 2 errors in our order, service was good. I enjoyed the wonton soup so much that I ordered it at the Long Circular mall location. The wontons (texture and content) and the soup stock was not the same as at the Ariapita location. If you want good food go to the Ariapita location. The food quality is much better. It is like apples and oranges... completely different.

I much preferred this location when it was not a self service buffet. The dishes were regular tasting eg sweet sour chicken, lemon chicken , stir fry veg , chicken egg fried rice ,schezuan chicken , stir fried pak Choi The rice in particular was very bland Seating was like as in a fast food court. so the ambiance was really not what I expected. Not sure if there is a fine dining room on the top floor but there was no signage to indicate this ?The lone washroom in the buffet area could not flush and the water was a trickle to wash your hands. I usually enjoy the pepper sauce at the C3 location but was disappointed with it here. Parking was a plus especially on maraval road with an observant pleasant parking attendant. Canât say this experience would inveigle me to return.

Jenny's On The Boulevard is a Chinese Restaurant situated at the corner of Cipriani Boulevard Port of Spain. Its an Historic Blue Mansion which was originally built back in the early 20th century. Itâs not just the restaurantâs interior that has an olden
This place is amazing. Wonderful location with parking if you have a car and wonderful food. Very professional attentive waiters, best we have come across in Trinidad and Tobago and quick and efficient service. Beautiful interiors again best we have come across.Delicious food so much so we had 2 lunches at the pub bar downstairs. Quite reasonable priced too given the quality. If youâre lucky Jenny herself might wander over to say hi and sheâs an amazing hostess. Highly recommended.

After visiting Beijing, you understand that Chinese restaurants the world over have a bias towards adapting their flavors to the local taste. This has been mostly dissapointing for me, until I visited House of Chan in Port of Spain.As we were a party of five, we asked the very simpathetic owner chef to reommend a few dishes to share, with the provision that we didn't want any meat other than fish or seafood, to accommodate one of our colleagues. He respected the request with one welcome exception.What came after that was a parade featuring some of the finest Chinese dishes I've ever tried: grilled jumbo shrimps, tempura fried squids, fried seabass, sweetbread-stuffed clams, and a perfectly fit array of garnishes, mostly vegetables, but also rice. They were all delicious, some really memorable, all with a Caribbean touch, which combines the spiceness of these islands with the species of India that is so embedded in the local culture, for its benefit.The food was so good that we didn't need neither wine nor dessert, our tastes delighted by these wonders.

Tiki Village serves Asian/Polynesian style cuisine on the 8th floor of Kapok Hotel, an independent boutique hotel, with breathtaking views of Port of Spain.
I've come to this restaurant to dine quite a few times over the past 30 years and tonight I was subjected to the worst service ever. My wife and I sat to dine at 9:10pm on Sat 9th Feb and ordered our meal. The gentleman who brought the meal was very welcoming and polite. However, we were appalled to find that the lemon chicken (part of a lemon chicken platter - combo meal) looked nothing like what we're accustomed to. It was covered in extra thick flour/egg batter and the chicken pieces looked mushy, dark and fatty. I immediately called the waitress who served us and told her we were not satisfied with this meal. She asserted in a very aggressive tone: 'that is how lemon chicken ALWAYS looks!' I told her that we will not be accepting it and to take it away. She then removed the meal in such an aggressive manner that bits of food spilled over onto the table. i calmly walked over to the hostess and asked to speak to a manager. She then called someone purporting to be a supervisor who approached me in a most nonchalant manner, asking what was the problem. She asked whether we wanted a replacement meal and I said no - that I would like the bill excluding the item. I received the bill, paid and left. While I was speaking to the supervisor, said waitress was hovering nearby listening to the exchange and watching at us. I've liked this restaurant for special occasions over the years, including business meetings because of the service and location. This is the first bad experience I've had here and I know misunderstandings may happen. But this is a management problem - firstly, serving substandard food at a premium price is unacceptable. Secondly, aggressive behaviour toward customers must not be tolerated. In my view, this is damaging to the brand.Thank you for bringing this experience to our attention and we apologise for not responding sooner. We have forwarded your comments to the team and they are in the process of reviewing the item in question in order to ensure that we have consistency. We hope that you will return in the future. Once again thank you for bringing this to our attention.

While the restaurant presents well, I beg to differ with some of the favorable responses. I had a birthday dinner here and after all is said and done, its not as good as it looks. So the ambience of the restaurant is excellent, as its furnishings are up to date so the seating and layout is really comfortable. Service was not an issue as it was as expected: moreso, I felt really welcome. But the food was not all what it said it was: plainly, this restaurant is almost a carbon copy of the mediocrity Jenney's was known for, mindful, that it is a Jenny's inspired product (owner is a former relative of Jenney?). How i judge taste, is when the temperature of a meal simmers down, only then you get past any obfuscation of the flavors. So on the menu, the food looks great, when it arrives you may be wowed.. but as you get in, the enthusiasm dies down and you may be quite surprised if you take food away in a doggy bag. Please note that parking is good. of course by the time the bill hits you, you will be thinking twice about what you have done. So I felt that the restaurant was a bit pricey and it will be some time before I save up, if I am going back. Other than that, well its a nice place available in Port of Spain for restaurant dining. Sincerely
