Coco Place

We went for dinner on Labor Day with another couple, and were very pleased with everything about Coco Palace. Attractive decor, friendly and attentive service, and really unique and delicious food! None of us had ever heard of Yunnan cuisine before reading the Newsday review of this restaurant... It's not your typical Chinese food! (Although, to be sure, the restaurant wisely offers some "typical" dishes for the less adventurous diners.). The waiter explained that Yunnan province is close to Thailand, which gives you a clue as to the types of spices they use, but it's not Thai food. We tried an array of new and different things, and the wait staff was very helpful in explaining what each dish was. Prices are reasonable for this area. Definitely worth a visit, this is a great addition to the neighborhood.

The environment is small but feels cozy, looks clean and tidy. It’s a small restaurant, don’t except something upscale. I tried the noodles and the beef rice, very delicious, very balanced regarding spices and flavors. The cuisine is from Yunnan province, so this is a good place to try this kind of food. The service was fast and professional. The pricing is not on the cheap side. Overall, I’d go back to this restaurant.
