We live in Fulton and try to dine there once a week. I've travelled all over the states and China Palace is as good as any Chinese place around. Try it should you have a chance. My favorite is the seafood delight, though Shrimp and Snow Peas is a very close second. Very healthy servings and the owner/chef Steve makes a great effort to come out and speak with each customer. Oh - best egg rolls in the USA. read more

We stayed at an Airbnb across the street from China Palace while visiting from out of town, so we decided to have dinner there one night. There were two other parties dining in but the one server working didn't have any trouble staying on top of our drinks and requests. The dishes we ordered tasted freshly cooked and the flavors were great. The portions were sized appropriately enough to feed the eight of us with no leftovers. At the end of the meal the owner came out to check on our experience and said they've been in business for 40 years. I'm glad we gave this longtime local spot a try. read more

The curry chicken has a great flavor with just the right amount of heat (spice). Portion size is very robust. If you like curry, I recommend this meal. The service is attentive, pleasant, and professional. Thank you for a great meal!! read more

China Palace - 48. Curry Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Fulton, Missouri

Been here a few times over the last year. It is the "better" of the two Chinese restaurants in Fulton. Of all the dishes I have had, the sesame chicken was the best; crispy chicken and a delicious sauce. Egg rolls were very good and seems they make them themselves and are not frozen, though I am not sure. Crag Rangoon was so-so. Got the special fried rice to go and discovered there was very little meat and no egg or bean sprouts at all. Very disappointed since they charged over $11 for fried rice. Prices are a little high and you do not get an abundance of food for your money. read more

General Tso Chicken stated "crispy" and was mushy, egg roll was mushy on the inside, what an over priced disappointment, however, my dogs enjoyed it! read more

China Palace - Cashew chicken - Chinese Near Me - Fulton, Missouri

My wife and I tried China Palace for the first time. We got the orange chicken and beef with broccoli, along with some crab rangoons. The service was fast and excellent -- I was greeted by Steven at the door and he took the time to have a conversation with me while I waited to pick up my food. The food was tasty! Definitely recommend the orange chicken. read more

This place has been around for more than 30 years. It has always been a very family friendly place to go and the original owners were very gracious to the patrons. They have raised their children in this place. Food was always impeccable. Now that the owners have grown older the son and his wife have been running it. The portions are about half the size they were while the price has doubled. The aren't open except for dinner now and they had such a great lunch buffet. It was always packed. Now it's hit and miss and the food is just not what it used to be. I will still go every now and then but just not what is was sadly. read more

Well if I could give it a zero or negative zero that would reflect our experience last night. I thought I'd sleep on it ... didn't matter ... still disgusted. First let's talk about the cleanliness - negative zero. Floors & windows filthy .. the one thing not filthy apparently are the dishes - well kinda sorta - when they brought out the dishes of food the plates were covered with crusted soap- at least we convinced ourselves that is what it was. We asked her to take back our food... she left the food on the next table over... the entire time we were there Food...first time EVER I can't say one nice thing Party of 5 - no plates no serving utensils and when we asked for plates we were given coffee cup saucers. This used to be our favorite go to and we don't live in the area... skip it. There are plenty of other options that $100.00 dinner check could be justified. This is so not the place. I have plenty of pictures to post but the owners obviously don't care nor do their servers read more

Steven, I hope you're reading this. You should take note. I see problems ahead. The cleanliness in the restaurant seems to be waning. The floor is getting very sticky. That is a huge turn-off. Also the counter where we pay is totally nasty under and on top of the glass and the rubber matt signed by customers is getting gross. The dining tables could be cleaner. Also, it does not look good for one waiter to be busting his butt, running as fast as he can, taking care of people while you and Lucy sit around on your parents' laurels. You as owners and the future of China Palace need to be helping out with customer service, paying close attention to their needs, bussing tables, taking drink orders and delivering the drinks as you seat people. Why don't you offer your customers free WIFI? It would help business. You have it already because we see you using it like ALL the time. The food still is wonderful. The buffet is very clean. The value for the food is great. read more

China Palace gets 2 Stars, only because the food is REALLY good. That being said, I will only get it as take-out. I will not go in and sit down, because the place is perpetually dirty, the staff seems to have a contest amongst themselves to see who can be the laziest, and the glasses seem to have been washed by and 1850's bartender in a greasy apron. It is really sad to see, considering how great this place used to be.... read more

This place is so much better than Dragon Kitchen. It is absolutely fantastic. They have the best Crabrangoons in the state. If your in Fulton area, go here. You won't be disappointed read more

China Palace - a plate of noodles with meat and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Fulton, Missouri

I've lived in NYC, Chicago, and DC and have had Chinese food from multiple restaurants in those cities' Chinatowns and none have been better than China Palace. Among their many fantastic dishes, they have the best hot and sour soup ever. The only other Chinese restaurant that has come close is one in DC's Chinatown, but it's more of a noodle shop, while China Palace is an all around tasteful and great value Chinese food restaurant. read more

China palace has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for the last 15 years, and that's even after being in the service for 6 years and eating places all over the states. read more

How in god's name did this place get an average of 4.5 stars?? Not for the buffet--that's for sure. I stopped in for lunch while in town simply for the Yelp reviews, and was unfortunately disappointed. Maybe the menu entrees are great, but this buffet? Fresh and hot? More like "nope" and "not." The Hot & Sour Soup was pretty good, which I had as an appetizer and left me hopeful as to the rest of the buffet. Big disappointment. The "Chicken & Onion" was overly sweet, the Beef & Broccoli was bland and looked and tasted like it had been sitting there WAY too long--in fact--pretty much everything looked & tasted like it had been sitting there for a couple hours, right down to the congealing buffet-skin on the Green Beans w/ Garlic Sauce. Server was very friendly and attentive, which frankly was the only thing saving this one from a 1-star. Would not recommend. read more

I have lived in five states and traveled to 40 states and I have never been able to find Chinese food as good as this. My go to dish for dinner is always the orange beef simply because it is unrivaled in flavor. I have also eaten their lunch buffet which is equally delicious. The restaurant is family owned and operated. The best Chinese food I have ever had hands down. Hidden gem. read more

I just moved to Fulton a little over a year ago and could not believe when a friend said they looked forward to China Pallace when they came to visit from two states away. Like really? You can't find one decent Chinese place in the state of Minnesota? But NOW now I understand. Their food is freaking DELICIOUS! It is without question the best Chinese food I have ever had (House of Chow in Columbia is a close second). It's a little pricey when compared to other Chinese food but I am more than happy to pay! read more

Grew up on China palace I can't think of another place that beats it. When family from out of town come home its a must go to place on the list of things to do when they come back home. read more

I've lived in several places and travelled for several years as part of my job. The China Palace in Fulton's historic district is the best I've tasted. My family loves it too. read more

We were staying with family in Fulton and this is one of their favorites... I can see why! Great food, nice people and very reasonably priced! We had hot and sour soup, crab rangoons and egg rolls for appetizers... All were very good. Then we had family style various dishes. We all left very satisfied. read more

I had my first order of duck here and it was very tasty. The sesame chicken is nice and sweet. Crab Rangoon is delicious. Service was friendly. The place has expanded since I was last here (it's been 10 years), which is great. It's good to be back. read more

Consistently good food and prompt service. We are never disappointed, and would eat their lunch buffet every day if I could afford it! We eat in and do take out a couple times per month. read more

Suprisingly good. Just moved to town and didn't know what to expect. We were pleasantly suprised! General tso's was great!

Service and food left a lot to be desired. Came at 12:30 on a Saturday and there was no host. We were eventually seated and given no menus. The buffet was nearly empty. The food was hard to finish. read more

I don;t like the food here, I got seafood cover in brown goop. Was not impressed If I want good chinease I will drive to jeff city or columbia. read more

China Palace is consistently good. They have a great selection and the food is always hot and fresh.

Very good for takeout. Sesame chicken was great. Very crispy. Great portions and exceptional price for what we got. Will definitely be back.

Sucks big time. The only way you could like this food would be if you are into bland mid-Missouri crap and had no interest in real Chinese food. If you want bland, luke-warm piles of noodles, this is the place for you. Be sure to ask for a barf bag with your meal. read more

Food is very good. The egg rools are delicious. The wait staff is ok. Very relaxed atmosphere. Not expensive.

I have to agree with the other "not so good" reviews here. I started eating at the China Palace when it first opened, and it was fantastic for years. The cleanliness of the restaurant, the quality of the food, the menu choices, the prompt service... everything was top-notch. Then the Parents left to open an Asian Market in Columbia, leaving the Restaurant with new management (their Son, I think). Everything gradually went down hill after that, and I would not eat there now even if someone else was paying for it. I gave the place one last chance about a month ago and even though I ordered off the menu, the food had the mouth-feel and taste of food that has been setting in the buffet too long. I wasn't paying attention, but for all I know they may actually have made my plate up right off of the buffet itself. While we do have another Asian restaurant in Fulton, it serves highly "Americanized" food, so to get my favorite Asian dishes now, I either cook it at home, or go to Columbia. read more

Best lunch option in town if you are limited by time. The lunch buffet has variety of items like beef and broccoli, fried rice, noodles, sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, as well as egg rolls, wontons, and the best crab Rangoon around!! Salad bar and desserts like Chinese donuts and cookies are included! Very reasonable in price. Clean!Friendly! Dinner time meals eaten in or taken out provide enough to fill you up and then some! Beware of some of the spicier dishes... They pack some heat! read more

Really good and fresh Chinese. All of the waiters are super friendly and checked on us a lot. I went with my daughter and they treated us both really well. The egg rolls and crab ran goon are among the best I've ever had and came out so fresh we couldn't even touch them at first! Then we shared pork fried rice and sesame chicken (which came with more white rice). This is the best Chinese in town for sure. read more

I can't speak for the food because I never had a chance to try it. The manager, Steve, was EXTREMELY rude. Don't ever try to pay for your meal over the phone. I was accused of fraud. Take your over the phone payment orders to any other food place and you'll be okay. But don't ever try to pay over the phone here. read more

I can't believe this place is in Fulton Mo ! It definitely has it's own style and the chicken dishes are great! I haven;t been back for awhile but it definitely is worth the trip! read more

I'm a visitor from L.A. pretty good food and a decent price. Their shrimps are huge, I was surprised. Chicken & Broccoli is a great healthy choice. The owner was very nice. read more

Food is great along with service. We went in with some friends who drink bottled water normally and the owner himself went out of his way to get it for our table. He had to go next door. They do use msg, but will not add it upon request. Can't do anything about the buffet though. They serve the lunch buffet from about 11 to 2:30. My wife and I keep going back. It's that good! read more

Hands down favorite Chinese restaurant. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Food is always great.
