Delicious food. Many great options. Their flavors are spot in. Wok Salt Chicken Wings and Squid are amazing. Pork Belly is out of this world! Sometimes they let me split the wings 4 hot & 4 wok (which I love) sometimes they tell me no. Not sure why? Just depends on who’s working. Oh well.🤷🏻♂️ But their flavors are excellent.

We ordered takeout and were blown away by how delicious everything was. We tried the wontons, chicken wings, pork belly, Dan Dan noodles, rice, and a side of chili oil—and I’d recommend every single item. The chicken wings remained crispy even after bringing them home and were not that spicy (at least for us). I just wish we lived closer, so we could order more regularly. Absolute chef's kiss!

With complete sincerity, this is some of the best tasting food I’ve ever had. I’ve worked alongside a couple of the chefs/owners in various settings and their creativity has never ceased to amaze me. From the beginning, when Crocodile Palace was doing pop-ups, I’ve been enjoying their food… and year after year it continues to get better. I literally don’t know how it can improve any more but I am stoked to keep coming back and trying new things. I just moved into a house right down the street so I’ll be a regular for suuure.

My fiancé and I are taking a trip around Michigan just to see different areas in Michigan we haven’t gotten to.
Today was Traverse and let me just say, this food is the best food I have had in a long while. Well worth the wait and I wouldn’t be surprised if we made another 4 hour trip up here for this alone. The guys who run this place know what they are doing and you won’t regret it at all unless you can’t handle your spice. Took a bottle of chili oil to go with us.
This place is a favorite. Food is great, vibes are great, T.C really needed something like this.

Exceptional. Just go. My partner is Taiwanese. We don’t go to TC without stopping here. It brings me so much joy to see people passionate about what they do and to share it with everyone. These guys have perfected their craft for Sichuan food and they are angels for bringing it to the area. They will never get rid of us and we beg them to open a location in Grand Rapids.

Crocodile Palace is a great place for takeout Sichuan cuisine. I tried the pork wontons and the mapo tofu, and both were packed with flavor. The wontons had lots of herbs and spices to amp them up, and the mapo tofu was rich and somewhat spicy. Admittedly, I’ve had spicier versions of mapo tofu before, but this one was still very tasty. I didn’t have to wait too long, and things seem like they’re made nice and fresh. The staff was professional and I was happy with everything. I’d definitely eat here again next time I’m in Traverse City.
