I have been going past this place for long time, next to the pizza place and several Japanese joints all serving sushi? Anyway I had to pick up my son at therapy, so I was a quick 25 yards away. I have been looking over the menu for quite a time, they have a solid base not overly fancy but lots of choices. Came in and the place had some other person picking up an order, my order was quickly taken , before someone else made another take out order, pretty popular place for a Monday evening. As I waited for my food I noticed the the staff on the back looked really efficient and were cranking out food orders really fast. I went to pick up my son because I was cutting it close, but when I got him and walked back my order was waiting for me. It was delicious smelling all the way home. The food tasted fantastic, no complaining here, the beef chow fun was surprisingly light and delicious. We also had the salt and pepper pork chops. Makes my mouth water just thinking about how crispy and savory tasting these are. Got a good value for your money. I'm coming back and trying more on the menu. So don't blink you'll miss the place but it's worth finding it.

Was in the area and needed a quick lunch. Saw they offered lunch specials on weekdays until 3pm, everything was pretty much under $14, so said why not. For their lunch special, the portions are pretty nice. The lunch special menu has over 25+ options, from classics like broccoli beef, Mongolian beer, salt & pepper pork chops, etc. I went with the beer and scrambled eggs bc I have had it at another spot, and honestly while it wasn't bad, the eggs were too overcooked. I've had this dish at other spots, and it's been saucy/yolky (not sure how to best explain it), this one was more of an omelette. Had to add some spice and soy sauce to get any type of flavor. I definitely think this was the case of ordering the wrong thing. I saw other dishes that looked really good, so while I wasn't a fan of what I got, I do think the price point makes this an affordable option for a quick Chinese food meal.

Love fried wonton soup and chicken and black bean sauce, and was excited to try this local spot. Unfortunately when I received my order I received the wrong order. When I called to let them know there was no acknowledgement or attempt to resolve the mistake. The food was three stars, but the service was unfortunately under par.

I've only ordered to go from Ocean Palace. It's always been tasty food with good portions. Also, the prices are very good. Appreciate the friendly service and excellent value.

Good is amazing. Love the orange chicken. Quality and portions are great. We have ordered several times for takeout and it does not miss. Great for our neighborhood. Make sure you take a menu.

Quantity > QualityThat pretty much sums it up.Probably the least authentic Chinese food I've ever had. Chow Mein has zero flavor and next to no ingredients. I ordered BBQ Pork Fried Rice and they gave me lap chong (Chinese sausage) instead of BBQ pork. Literally the only redeeming quality of this place is the portions. They're huge. Your dollar will go a long way here. Just don't expect actual Chinese food. Maybe I came on an off day. Or maybe the other reviewers never had good Chinese lol. Either way, service is friendly but man, that food! So disappointing...

One of my favorite spots to grab a good meal! Fast and friendly service! Portion sizes are good, on point with prices! Parking around the restaurant and neighborhood.

easily the best and most wallet-friendly for lunch! it's usually quiet and the service is always good. the only difference between ordering to-go and eating there is a bowl of sweet and sour soup. these two photos are two different occasions. 5/5 i go at least once a month.

Pretty pretty pretty good! Loved it.As a field technician I travel the Bay Area, and i love Chinese food. So i try to review every place I go to.This place hits all the check marks!!!I would have given it a 4 1/2 start but that option is not available. Food was really good but not 5 star per say. But for the value it was awesome.Great lunch specialPrice! 12.05 for a chicken Mongolian dish.With rice! Soup and tea! All included.Can’t beat that !!Small family owned business. Small location but clean! Loved it. Wish it was closer to home.Only had one meal here so far do I can’t speak for the rest of the dishes so time will tell if I need to update this review.
I love this place. Everytime I have eaten here the food has been excellent!!! Best pots tickers. Mushu pork , green beans, all good. They give you large servings. I've never dined in only togo

The Cantonese dinner for $16.95 per person was a great deal.Won Ton Soup - The wontons were great, but the soup flavor and veggies were pretty lacking. (The veggies consisted of a few pieces of cabbage and some green onions.)Egg Roll + Cheese Puff - This came out hot out of the fryer! No complaints here. Sweet and Sour Pork - Probably the best dish. The pork was tender and not dried out. Beef with Vegetables - Beef was nice very tender, but a bit on the salty side due to the oyster sauce. I liked the addition of baby bok choy. BBQ Pork Fried Rice - This was a great accompaniment to the meal. I took the leftovers home and got two more meals out of it. Service was attentive and quick. Will be back and would love to try out their reasonably priced lunch specials.

I've been trying to find some really good Chinese food and my search is over. There are many in the area to try but this one is at the top of my list. The location is easy to find with plenty of parking nearby. The prices are about average for the amount of food served. There is inside seating with large tables for families. The food is not only plated nice but the flavor is what won me over. Fresh vegetables and cooked to perfection. Friendly staff and the food was served hot off the stove with little wait time. They have a good amount of to-go orders but that didn't seem to slow them down. Give them a try for authentic Chinese food.
i will start off by saying their food tastes great but the service is very poor which makes me not want to come here. I ordered online for delivery through various delivery services and each time this restaurant doesn't pack the items. This has happen several times back to back. I got fed up with it and decided to call them after this has been happening too many times to ask what was happening. It was always happening to my drink and rice those were always missing all the time. when I called the lady that answered the phone was hard to understand her. I told her over 4 times in many different ways what the issue was and finally she said "oh yeah I forgot to put the soda, rice oh no rice". LMAO! no apologies no refund no care. The service is horrendous and they do not give refunds for their mistakes no matter what. I feel like this is a regular occurrence with this restaurant I don't plan to order from here anymore.
