What reviewers say

Many visitors praise Chon Saan Palace for its excellent and flavorful Chinese food, with some calling it the best in Belize and highlighting the warm, welcoming staff and generous portions. However, some reviewers have complained about slow service, with orders not being served in a timely manner, and a significant concern raised about the pervasive use of MSG, even in dishes not typically associated with it, which has caused issues for those with sensitivities. One reviewer also reported experiencing food poisoning.

About this place Chon Saan Palace

Chon Saan Palace on Kelly Street in Belize City is listed here as a gay-friendly hotel. The name is widely known locally as a Chinese restaurant, though, and it isn't clear how many rooms, if any, are offered. There's no phone or website on file. Confirm directly or through a booking platform before you plan a stay. Belize decriminalised same-sex relations in 2016, but attitudes remain conservative and there's no gay scene to speak of. Discretion in public is advisable. Most travellers pass through Belize City on the way to the cayes or the interior, so this is at most a one-night stop.

Their food is loaded with msg and I’m allergic. Unfortunately they don’t give you an option to have your meal done without it. I even tried ordering a beef burger and it too was laced with msg. It must have been cooked on the same grill they cook their Chinese food because the patty smelled and tasted like Chinese food. I wish they would have healthier options like brown rice. This is supposed to be the best Chinese in town but they need to step up their quality control.
