Whoever was running the phone/hosting was super nice, but unfortunately everything we ordered (with the exception of white rice) was sour and borderline inedible.

Went on Father's day in the evening place was busy. One lady taking orders.
Everything seemed to be going fine until our dinners came. Husbands meal came, I had to wait at least 10 minutes for my food. Our lady apologized for the wait. Went to pay waited up front 5 minutes for whoever is in charge of taking money. Finally flagged down the waitress she cashed us out.

They are very attentive and accommodating when we ordered togo. All you have to do is ask any questions you want. My wife is allergic to gluten, and they were able to substitute a gluten-free sauce for her Beef Kow, which was still very delicious! They were also able to make a custom Mongolian Tofu dish for me, which was so rich and flavorful. Excellent customer service!

This is by far the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had in my life. The sweet and sour sauce is fluorescent red, and had 2 random floating chunks of mystery meat in it. The crab rangoons were the worst ever, and tasted like gas station food that had been left out for months. They were also stale and barely had any crab in it. All of our food was soaked as well. The Mongolian beef had barely ANY beef, and it was 90% just liquid. The mushu pork was swarming with so many vegetables, that there was only about 4 pieces of pork, and even then, the pork pieces were so dense and dry that it took a century just to chew through them. The egg drop soup was okay, as it was the only edible thing we were given. Which they forgot originally as well. On top of that, all of our food costed around 60 dollars. I’ve had better microwave meals than this. Complete waste of money! Do not come here!!

Update: I got food poisoning. I am regretting every decision in my life that led me to China Palace as I go through some of the worst pain in my life. You’ve been warned.

Horrible. Nothing was good. Egg Drop soup looked like grits. Mongolian beef had so much liquid in it that it was basically a stew. The sweet and sour sauce was florescent red and had some chucks of something floating in it. I do not recommend.

The place is larger than what it looks like from the outside. The inside had dark wood and several different dining areas. There is also a bar. I didn't get anything but the house fried rice and it was bland. I hope they take notice of the reviews and change it up.
The young man that gave me my order said that the restaurant has been there for 40 some years.

Parking: It's located in the back of the building.

We were a huge fan of China Palace. This was our worst meal. Very bland. No flavor. Hardly any meat. It was all onion or broccoli. The fried food tasted old. It may be time to find a new place. It’s too expensive theses days to not enjoy the food. ?

When first arriving the building was very antique looking with a comforting smell of aged lumber. Usually in such places is where you would expect to find the best food. The dinning table and chairs were also all wood promoting a uniquely rustic feel. Unfortunately that is the most positive I can say for this place. I came here with an eagerness to be whelmed and even that reasonable bar was too high for this place. Of the 4 water glasses we were given 3 were found to have detritus within, two with mystery contaminants and one with a fly at the bottom. Alas we were committed to finishing out this experience. We got the appetizer for 4 and every item felt inexplicably poor quality from the taste to texture. Once our meals arrived we were struck by the lack of portions considering the price. But as we proceeded with our meal we all came to the disappointing conclusion that each of the 4 meals was so bland in taste that they were quite unappetizing. My honest recommendation is to steer clear of this joint and eat literally anywhere else. Even a Panda probably does better. What a ruined experience. Sorry.

Worst Chinese food I've ever had. Horrible service. Rice was mushy. The batter on the orange chicken was like eating leather.

Wanted to try something new since Happy Wok was closed. The food is very very bland. Not sure who their audience is, but it's definitely not authentic food. Will never try again. Happy Wok is way way better...

I've been coming here since I was kid and we've grown to know the family that owns it. The food is always good and I'm glad they've stayed open and hope they and their restaurant are open many more years to come!

Parking: Their parking lot is behind the restaurant and is a pretty good size.
