The Triumphal Palace is especially well-know for its dim sum specialties--which literally means "to touch the heart."  Not only will you enjoy the food at Triumphal Palace, you'll also find the service to be prompt and attentive, and the ambience relaxing with beautifully appointed decor.

In China's ancient agricultural society, people would often head for a tea house after an exhausting day in the fields. They would mix warm conversation with fine tea and a tantalizing selection of dim sum. The quantity of each was kept small; the delicacies were served in tiers of bamboo steamers or small to medium-sized plates so that many different varieties could be sampled. This custom has continued through present day.

At Triumphal Palace you can easily fill up on dim sum - choosing from Chef's Specials, Steam, Baked/Fried, Steamed Rice Noodle and Dessert. Chef's specials include Deep Fried Chicken Wings, Beef Stewed Rice Noodle Hot Pot, Steamed Chinese Broccoli, Roast Duck, B.B.Q. Pork, Soy Sauce Chicken, and much more.

Or you can go for the special menu that provides economically-priced traditional Chinese cuisine (i.e., Smoked Pork Shank, Fish Filet, Seafood Vermicelli, Shrimp with Noodle, and Squid) with prices ranging from $6.95 to $9.95.

A meal-ending dessert is never out of order, and at Triumphal Palace you can sample Steamed Egg Sponge Cake, House Special Lotus Paste Bun, Mango Pudding, Red Plum or Coconut Cake, Baked Egg Custard, or other mouth-watering concoctions.
