China Palace is a longstanding venue in lower village Montecito, around the corner from the Vons shopping center and nextdoor Starbucks. They serve conventional Chinese food in their small dining room and street-facing patio. The food is comforting and tasty if not imaginative or special, and the staff are consistently friendly and attentive.

Nice little place, extensive selection of dishes, fast service, nice staff. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I reserve 5 for something truly exceptional, but this place is very good indeed. I'd love to eat here again.
