Frommer's Review

If you're in the mood for Chinese food in Belize City, you can't do better than this local favorite. The room and the menu are immense. You'll find plenty of chow mein and Cantonese dishes, but there's also a substantial Szechuan section and a show-stopping sizzling steak that comes hissing and screaming to your table. If you're primed for seafood, you'll love the large fish tanks stocked with live lobster (in season), shrimp, and the daily catch. This is a great place to come with a group, as there are plenty of large, round tables with built-in Lazy Susans, just perfect for sharing food and a good time. Don't take the easy way out and head to the more conveniently located New Chon Saan Palace -- it's worth the short taxi ride to eat at the original.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
