Never any food! The food there isn't good it's like it's been sitting there for hours. Dried out and hard I gave up on this place long ago , but recently came back with friends and family. We tried to give it another shot and sure enough it was the same if not worse ! Same trash food with a higher price. The customer service isn't bad but does not make up for the bad food! read more

Always my go to Chinese buffet! Been going here since I was a kid. Love the fried dumplings and the rice noodles. The servers are always very attentive. The ambience and music is always on point. read more

Crispy shrimp description says it's supposed to have candied walnuts. Not one in the mix! Tasted more like szechuan shrimp not what we ordered. Spicy human beef is supposed to come with an egg roll. We ordered 10 extra, didn't get with that order should been 11 Sweet and sour chicken we got a large container of some garlicky spicy sauce which was neither sweet nor sour. This was them back on doordash. Not impressed. They were much better the first time they were on there. I feel like they cut corners. read more

Met a friend for lunch, it was yummy. The service was great. The ambience was like any buffet style restaurant. Will definitely go again.

The food is hit or miss. It really depends on the time you are going. I've had times were is was really fresh and yummy and other times you could tell it was just left in the warmer for a while. Same goes for the sushi sometimes fresh sometimes questionable. I will say The servers are very nice and make sure your drinks are always filled. I would just try to go during the peak hours so you get fresh food. read more

I stopped for lunch while passing through and because I love Chinese buffets. Almost always so much variety and these people didn't disappoint! I stayed on the entire buffet so can't tell you about desserts or salad. Just had water because I'm cheap so can report it tastes good. No bad flavor or smell which sometimes is a problem in East Texas although I won't mention Lufkin, oops it slipped out. Anyway! It's Good To Go! If you like American Chinese food you'll love it read more

They have a variety of veggies, meats, traditional Chinese foods, and desserts. The staff is polite and professional. This place is clean and neat. I go to this place from time to time because I can depend on them to have food that I enjoy. read more

China Palace - a neon sign for a chinese restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Henderson, Texas

I've been going to this China Palace buffet for over 20 years. It was called Chen's buffet before. I live in Dallas but have family from Henderson so we visit often. We round out every trip by going to China Palace. The food is wonderful! Great to solve your Chinese food fix. There's is wide variety of entrees and sides. The honey chicken and broccoli beef are wonderful. The rice and noodle sides are great base to building your customized plate of glory. Bring the family - grandma, kids and that crazy uncle. They will all have a great time and for sure get 2+ plates of food. Dessert Bonus: they have ice cream self serve with 4 different flavors - chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and my fav butter pecan! Highly recommend this place and excited to go there for another 20 years. read more

Decent all you can eat buffet style Chinese. Good prices. Very kind service. Would like to see more Chinese options.

Do not eat here. My wife's food was cold. The chicken was mostly gristle. The big thing was the rice. All Chinese food places usually have great rice. Not here. The seats were mostly torn. In fact, while we were there the manager came and put more tape on the booth next to us. That's quality!! Finally, the price was 15 per person. read more

I've been here a lot and 9/10 times the food is good and service is good as well. Their noodles and crab Rangoon are always amazing. The Mongolian Pork is pretty good too. All of the usual dishes you would find at a Chinese buffet are there and pretty good. 4 stars from me read more

Food is good and during most times I have been in the buffet has been fresh and cared for. Sushi has a good variety. Taste of the foods are good with the exception of a stuffed "shrimp"? I think it was. Needs to add a cream cheese stuffed mushroom. read more

The only reason that China Palace is not 5-stars is because of how expensive their buffet is for kids. For my family of five to go here, it is simply too expensive. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly. My favorites are the Butter Shrimp, Jalapeno Chicken and Dragon Rolls. read more

Quality has fallen off a little since the owners turned it over to family.They need to figure a way to keep the food hot. Having said that,the food has always been very good ,with a large variety of selections.We still eat there often. read more

Opened back mid covid 19 and glad they are back in business love the quality of food great variety staff members are polite and ready to help in need read more

For a buffet, the place is clean and very well maintained. Food is fresh and hot. Very nice staff.

Honestly, this place is great. Service and food variety are both great! It is buffet style and they are constantly bringing in refreshed food options. It's great if you want to try lots of different Chinese dishes. Loved that there was a salad bar and good ice cream too! Would recommend to anyone in town!! read more

China Palace is everything I needed and more! We enjoy going to China Palace when we are in Henderson and appreciate the great service, kind staff, and variety of fresh Chinese food. Leave each time with full bellies and bright smiles! 5 stars!!! read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk in but it's actually good. It's not a lot of variety like the one i Kilgore but they are super friendly and the food tastes decent and they got the real deal on dessert blue bell ice cream read more

This place was just OK the food was mediocre the service was OK for a buffet restaurant was clean lots of options no spicy food which rather disappointed me I like my Chinese spicy lots of dessert options but as far as flavor goes everything was just average read more

I've ate chinese buffets all over Texas, this Buffett is top shelf. Service was very good. The place was clean and the food had a good variety. I was defintely impressed. Sometimes smaller town buffets don't measure up, this place did. Great Job read more

Just horrible. Nowhere near authentic. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place if you don't want to be scammed into buying fake chinese food. read more

I've visited here twice, and while I realize I'm from Houston (where we have a wide array of Chinese buffets), this buffet could stand to have more selection. I like the sauteed cabbage (anything cooked in lots of butter is good), and the sushi is about par for buffet-sushi. They should probably reduce the size of the "salad bar" and add in more traditional chinese buffet items. A hibachi style grill would be a nice addition too. The bathroom was gross...I went in there to wash my hands when arriving, and noticed there was solid waste on the floor in the stall. I reported it to a staffer, but she just smiled and nodded. I went to wash my hands again before leaving, and the pile of solid waste was still on the floor. read more

Ate here February 25th on a road trip checking out East Texas and enjoyed myself. It's mainly a buffet place with some fairly brisk business. The buffet stations were clean and the food was well stocked and fresh tasting. Like iced tea refills? Hope so, because they will be coming around to your table every 2-3 sips and offering a refill; it's nice enough, but a bit much - let me eat! Decor is okay, but if you sit in the side room, be prepared to be next to tubes of neon framing the insides of all the windows. I would go back for sure. read more

Its pretty good although most of it is frozen but sometimes the sea food makes my family sick and nobody in my family has a seafood allergy

3.5 stars only?! I beg to disagree. China Palace has the best Chinese food anywhere I've been and the best servers ever. The female manager (owner?) is the nicest person ever. Whenever I'm in town from Austin, I make sure I at least get a takeout here. read more

My favorite Chinese buffet in East Texas. Good service, wide variety of food, at a good price. I can't think of anything I ever tried here that wasn't great. Love the Dragon Rolls, Crab Rangoon, General Tso's chicken, and just about everything else. Give this place a try! read more

Delicious food and clean atmosphere. Large selection of food compared to other places I've gone.

Anytime my boyfriend and I go to Henderson, we visit this place. My chinese buffet in East Texas! The servers are very friendly and always check up on you from time to time for refills or to remove plates! I definately recomment visiting here if you're ever in Henderson! read more
