China Palace

I order bubble tea here very often, it is delicious. The good thing about this place is that it has big, chewy tapioca and you can get hot or cold bubble tea. I prefer the hot bubble tea. However, sometimes the tapioca at the bottom isn't chewy, and the wait time is around 10 minutes (I shop at other places while the bubble tea is preparing). It is also a very small shop so it gets crowded very easily.

So if I had judged this place based on Google I may have actually missed out on a gem! Warning for those, check out reviews via JUST EAT or other platforms, many thousands of happy customers. We collected, my partner had a few meat dishes (salt pepper wings and chow mein) and said they were the best in the area(Barnet side) - still very crispy indicating freshness and good packaging. I had the spicy tofu starter and some veg noodle dish and it was delicious. Everything was pipping hot, great size portions, very reasonably priced and just the service was mehh. I'm going again. It's not eat-in so I'm not too fussed about the service! 👏
