    It's my favorite chinese place in Butler! A great atmosphere, food, and service. People are served tea and water when they arrive and crunchy chips with soy sauce. My favorite is General Tsao's Chicken. It does not have a buffet which I am glad about because buffets have a substantially lower quality food that just sits out. I strongly reccomend China Palace.

    We ordered delivery the other night from China Palace and this review is based on that. First, the good: fast delivery, good prices. Also they included crispy fried wonton strips and fortune cookies. We ordered general tso chicken, sesame chicken, vegetable mushu, egg drop soup, and steamed dumplings. There was nothing about the food that was terrible, but everything tasted like it had been made ahead of time and not to order. Both chicken dishes were soggy and not crispy at all. The general tso chicken had no spiciness and was negligible in taste from the sesame chicken. The bamboo shoots in the mushu had an extremely intense smell and flavor that was not pleasant. Almost like a bathroom smell?? I've had bamboo shoots like this before and I think it has to do with quality. The mushu wrappers were on the dried out side and cracked when I filled one. The egg drop soup had no seasoning whatsoever and was bland. My 3 year old daughter ate it, but I didn't like it. The steamed dumplings were ok. I'm not sure what kind of sauces they use in the actual restaurant, but the packets they send with take out/delivery are crappy quality. The soy sauce isn't even real soy sauce, but made with corn syrup and caramel coloring. Im not sure if there's any other great options around here, but we were disappointed with what we had from China Palace. The food was just mediocre, bland, and not fresh tasting.

    The food is very close to what you would get in the frozen bags of PF Changs. Not my cup of tea

    The Long Review I…read morehave lived enough life to confidently say that I miss the good old days. As a child I lived in a carefree world, feeling secure, loved, and protected. Protected by our parents and our society. We were encouraged to be children, we were encouraged to be innocent, we were encouraged to see that the past belonged to time, we were encouraged to right our wrongs, we were encouraged to honor strangers who would give their lives for us, we were encouraged to be brave, we were encouraged to have empathy for humankind, not just our kind. We lived in ignorance, never realizing the evil that surrounded us. Lots of horrible things happened but somehow SOCIETY shielded US. Moms and dads we never met brought fear into us with one statement " I'm calling your parents". We all knew it was a bluff but just in case... We lived at a place called The Dragon. A place we had only seen on National Geographic or PBS. A mysterious place across the ocean with mysterious people that looked exotic and talked differently than we did. The differences fascinated us. My Dad sent my mom a beautiful jewelry box that had a window in the front. I used to stare at the little hut inside that window, trying to see if anyone was hiding inside the windows. There was a bamboo bridge that went across the water with a sawmill that spun around when the music played. A hot pink lotus sat in the corner and reflected off of the mirrors. My dad walked through the door on a Marine Corps salary and told Mom to fix up because we were going out someplace special. We were going to eat Chinese, always making a pit stop for the one spoiled kid who had to have McDonald's. That special place was a place like this little bit of nostalgia. Some of you know what I mean, others never will. A place where they serve hot tea, and those little crispy things that are addictive. Where the waitress seems genuinely happy to take your order and even engage in small talk. A PuPu Platter where you don't wonder if they will substitute an item because it's all good. A kids-size noodle that is enough for a grown man, at a price that won't leave you broke till next payday. It turns out "Old fashion" isn't a bad thing after all.

    You need to use fresher produce. I got the broccoli with garlic sauce,and,while the flavor was…read moregood, the broccoli was very discolored and brown in spots.

    A lot of times the cleanliness of an establishments bathroom plays a part in my review as before I…read moreget seated a lot of times my daughter and I go to wash our hands before dinner. This usually sets my tone as to what I'll be expecting in that visit. I am happy to say, the restrooms are probably cleaner than mine at home. Staff was very attentive, organized and friendly. Seems most of their business is take out so she was busy. I being alone and waiting for soccer practice to be over, decided to eat in. I got the tofu with bean curd. An order of spring rolls (not much filling in them but there are two!). My personal preference in Asian restaurants is to have fresh mustard but this place being they have large take out has the watery mustard which is a bummer. The tofu was slightly wok fried so that was nice. Not an over abundance of sauce, just right. Plenty of tofu but could use a tad bit more vegetables. Bottled water, pop and iced tea are the drink options. Overall good food for the price. I can see why they are busy. Only thing I wished they did not have would be styrofoam plates and plastic forks and spoons. I'd wish they'd have something a bit more eco friendly. The girl whom was busy at the front did come over to table check me which is a huge bonus. Nice. We will definitely be back.

    Tables to eat in but there is no table service. Looks like a buddy take out business.
