Comprised of some communal bench seats and one round table, to dine-in is baptismal. While you sit scanning the space, it's evident that English is held secondarily to the vast majority nearby. Places like these ignite my desire to persist in learning. Like a Pabst Blue Ribbon or roadside Waffle House, this experience isn't for everybody. Gifts of peace and low prices are the sweet reward of other's inability to enjoy the gritty side of life. Expect the same crew holding it down here, with the biggest of smiles radiating from the cashier. Somebody who can laugh at me declining chopsticks because "I know myself" is a magnetic honesty that keeps me coming back. She allows the customer to peruse this menu in silence and may kindly tack on some extra bites when you order late enough in the shift. Much love.

Imperial Palace is a locally owned family business featuring traditional Chinese cuisine. During our visit, the owner was working alone and the dining room was full. They have only seven tables and those can fill quickly with the lunch crowd. He worked quickly to bring beverages and take orders. I had the Kung Pao Chicken and my husband had the Beef with Broccoli lunches. The food came out in about 15 minutes. Everything is prepared fresh. The egg roll was delicious and light. The ingredients in the Kung Pao Chicken were super fresh and the spice level was on the mild side for me. I wish I had requested more spice. But the freshness of the food made up for the lack of spice. There were two generous portions of rice. The lunch was delicious. My husband loved his Beef with Broccoli as well. They open at 11:00 am and serve lunch and dinner. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall. He does a robust service carry out as well. I'll definitely be back and I recommend. It's a fun little place.

The place was a lil hot but it was a very hot day outside so understandable. Plenty of seating where you order first and pay first, get a number and choose your table. I ordered the vermicelli noodle dish with egg rolls and a fried pork chop. We also got crab Rangoon and spring rolls. For me, the veggies didn't taste very fresh. I enjoyed the pickled veggies and the egg rolls. I think I was expecting more flavor in the pork and sauce. The spring rolls had bean sprouts in them which is not typical and changed the flavor profile a little bit. I'm a little particular as I just got back from Vietnam. It was way too hot for me to want to try a pho bowl but it's definitely on my list to come back when it's cooler. Love the noodle soup options and appreciate that they have such a full menu that offers Vietnamese, Chinese as well as Thai dishes.

This was pretty consistent with our last time there.

Today, I decided to have an eat-in experience. They have 6 four-top tables along with 1 table that sits 8 guests. There's a TV that usually plays ABC News Live. Tonight is no exception. The cashier stops at the table to check on me and ensure my meal is satisfactory. It's good food at a reasonable price and their restaurant is clean. (I did not visit the restroom.) if you're interested in basic Chinese food--they do have Egg Foo Yung with all the different meats. (EFY is not an option for a Combo meal.)

The orange chicken was really good - like, I'd order that again without hesitation. They give you plenty! I don't even know how I'm going to eat all the leftovers. I was expecting the small to be... well, small. Anyway. The pepper steak was just okay. It lacked flavor for me. And of course, lots of giant peppers instead of slicing them down...and a crap ton of veggies without much steak. But that's typical. The shrimp fried rice... Tasteless. I don't usually like to add more soy sauce to my food (and I didn't), but you're gonna need to drizzle the sauce from one of the other meals onto it or SOMETHING because homegirl was tasteless. Disappointing. The shrimp and broccoli was fine - exactly what you'd expect. Everything was packaged well, so I'd say attentive service for takeout. Not sure what it looks like on the inside/bathrooms/cleanliness, etc. since we did takeout, but I would go back for the orange chicken unless I find a place with better + solid shrimp fried rice. P.S. Remember when they used to automatically put eggs in the fried rice without you having to pay extra? I miss those days.

There menu is rather extensive so if you don't know much about Chinese food I suggest a google search while perusing the menu, or asking the waitress. The room is small but has plenty of booths and tables and is tastefully decorated with Chinese lanterns and fans. A fried dough with sauce was brought out to us as a free appetizer which was nice. They have lunch specials for a good price but you can order anything off the menu all day. I got the vegetable delight lunch special which came with my choice of soup, an egg roll, rice and the veggies in a sweet sauce. Not knowing much about Chinese food I might try for something more 'exotic' next time but this was flavorful and filling. The egg drop soup was a bit thick for me, but it had nice flavors. The veggies were crisp and a variety which I loved. Others got beef moo shu and loved it. And now that I know what might be a good option I'll try veggie moo shu next time. All in all a very fun dining experience and very casual, with a lot of options! I'd go back and try something else next time just to expand my tastebuds!

5 Stars - Garfield Park, You Have a Hidden Gem…read more As someone who is still fairly new to the Garfield Park area, New China has quickly become my go-to Chinese takeout spot. I've ordered several times now, and every visit seems to give me a new favorite. First, let's talk about the portions. The regular-sized entrées are generous, filling, and easily satisfy my cravings without needing to size up. Today's Hunan tofu was packed with vegetables, perfectly cooked tofu, and plenty of flavor. If tofu is on the menu, I'm probably ordering it. (I ate plenty before taking the photo). Now for the real addiction: the sesame balls. I honestly couldn't tell you how many come in an order because I never make it long enough to count them. I tell myself I'll pace myself over a few days, but somehow they're usually gone within 48 hours. By day two, I'm down to the last few, trying to convince myself not to eat them all at once. I've also ordered the crab rangoon every single time. I love that they offer both 4-piece and 8-piece options depending on your appetite and budget. Today was my first time trying the chicken egg rolls, and I immediately regretted ordering two of them for someone else. After taking one bite of mine, I wanted another... and then another after that. Crispy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a good egg roll. The orange chicken was ordered for someone else, and they mentioned that it contains actual orange pieces. They weren't a fan of fruit pieces in savory dishes, so if you're the same way, you may want to ask whether they can leave them out. Personally, I appreciate when restaurants lean into the flavor they're advertising. And then there's the lunch special. Friends, prepare yourselves. An entrée, fried rice or white rice, PLUS your choice of soup or a canned drink, all before 3 p.m. for $8.35. I had to double-check the menu because prices like that feel like a time machine back to 2015. In a world where fast food combos are pushing $12-$15, New China is serving a full meal for less than the price of a drive-thru burger combo. Great food, generous portions, affordable prices, and a menu with plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. New China has absolutely earned a spot on my regular rotation, and if you're in Garfield Park and haven't tried it yet, you're missing out.
