This place is probably the best Chinese in Manassas. From their appetizers to their chef suggestions, everything always tastes fresh. My only critique is their lo mein which seems a little too much soy sauce based but everything else is delicious. They steamed dumplings are fantastic and their egg rolls are the old school big round ones. Love them. read more

Service was amazing and I've had good food from here but they dropped the ball on the egg foo young. This was crazy greasy. Couldn't even taste it. The rice and gravy were great! read more

I was shopping at Home Depot and looking for a take out lunch place. China Palace had my order of two lunch specials ready and nicely packaged in less than 10 minutes. It was a lot of food. My wife had beef and broccoli with egg drop soup. I had chicken with mixed vegetables and hot and sour soup. Both dishes were flavorful and nicely prepared. The chicken and beef were tender and of good quality. The vegetables were fresh and cooked just right. My hot and sour soup was quite nice. My wife thought there was a bit too much corn starch in her egg drop soup. Service was very pleasant and helpful. I will definitely go back. read more

I have been coming to this place for almost a decade now. The food is VERY good. Customer Service is quality & the ambiance is decent. I've come here so much, the almost know my order to a T lol I recently moved to Stephen's City but I'll still pass by & take my order home. I Love China Palace read more

So pleased with the fresh, tender chicken served in their dishes, unlike the overcooked and tough chicken their competitors serve. This is a clean and friendly restaurant. read more

OMG! The food is so delicious here .. We ordered a bunch of food totaling $70.00 And it was SO worth it! I used the app "BeyondMenu" it's very easy to use and quick. The food lasted us two days we will be ordering here again. Delicious food! Quick service! And quick delivery! read more

Sadly, the food at China Palace was good, but they went cheap. The food isn't as good, portions are smaller, it's almost like new owners took over and don't make the same food any longer. Been a customer for years, but no longer. my last order i ended up throwing most of it away. Sad that another restaurant resorted to going cheap. read more

As far as having a reliable take out place; looks like you can count on China Palace II. My first try was Kung Pao Chicken. Lot's of chicken and flavor. Nothing fancy; just a pretty honest to goodness experience and also a good value. I'm going to keep on trying them and that's a win-win. read more

Last time I ordered the Mongolian beef, it was very tender and tasty. Although the pieces of beef were really big. I ordered the same dish and asked if they could cut the pieces of beef into smaller pieces. Being the pieces were smaller, cook time should of been faster, don't think it was. The beef was very chewy (over cooked) not tender at all, disappointing. read more

Chinese food you won't forget. At last, I've found an exceptionally good chinese restautant in Manassas. I've found the really good chinese restaurants will serve mu shoo pork and the exceptional ones do a really good job at it. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. It's clean very clean. They have a nice lunch buffet for $7.95 with all your traditional favorites. A great menu selection and reasonably priced for lunch and dinner. The mu shoo pork is excellent! Lot's of booths and tables you can put together if you have a group. It's a bit off the beaten path but worth the trip. read more

Went in expecting barely tolerable and came out surprised. Fresh food, not your typical steam table fare. Chicken on a stick was fresh, grilled perfectly with that slight brown candied sort of exterior and moist tender interior. The buffet had some kind of fried octopus strips that had a nearly nonexistent batter, fresh, great texture (that is important in octi) and great taste, very impressed. Buffett also had large head-on shrimp, again fried in some kind of paper thin batter, nonexistent stuff. I am definitely not a fried food fan so I only took a little the first time... and then I immediately went back. Fresh Green Beans on the buffet were good, crunchy but could have been more Sichuan.. they were Cantonese style and still good enough for seconds ;-) (and a little Sriracha on top did the trick) The place was not "new" but it was clean. Laugh if you want but I always check the bathrooms. A clean bathroom is a good indication of what the kitchen is like. This bathroom was not new, had a very bright orange paint on the walls but was scrubbed. Had a big screen TV. We watched "Now You See Me" while eating lunch. That worked! Like a neighborhood bar, this was a neighborhood Chinese "joint", a hole in the wall, but worth visiting. Happy tummies, happy tastebuds, great service, $38 for 4 adults. For comparison, it was not as good as Chi Tung in Evergreen Park Chicago area (among the best, period) but it smokes Panda Express and many other Chinese places at a menu level. I almost subtracted a star for not taking AMEX... :-\ read more

China Palace II - Buffet has potential (and I am not a fan of buffet Chinese) - Chinese Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Very disappointed with the pork lomein. It did not look appetizing. The noodles were dark and dry. The pork was dry and had a strange taste. Unfortunately, this was a take out order. Didn't know how bad it was until we arrived home. So sad read more

Food is great and fresh. Service is excellent. This is my go-to Chinese food carry out and restaurant. Tea excellent!

There has got to be better chinese food in Manassas. Go find it. Take a pass on this place. I agree, the soup was too oily and there actually seemed to be chunks of animal fat in it. The egg foo young isn't too bad, but the gravy is really watery. Same on the lemon chicken, the lemon sauce was like water with a little lemon flavor. Pork Fried Rice was extremely dry. Honeslty, the Wok 'n' Roll is pretty bad too, but I'd go there before China Palace, every time! read more

This place does not look like much but the owners are super nice and the food is great. I drive from the other side of Manassas to go here and get my food. read more

I've lived in the area for 4 years and I can vouch that this is the best Chinese restaurant in the area! I've tried the other two in the area but I keep coming back here almost regularly because the food is delicious. It's all take out now due to Covid but Pre C19 the did as much take outs as much as sit ins so they stay busy but regardless, the staff, especially the lady who takes the orders at the counter and phone, are welcoming. I noticed that she even knows her regulars orders the second they walk in! Busy or not they're always on time with your order! You'll enjoy what they have to offer! read more

Food was still fresh and warm upon delivery! Only issue was they still require that you sign their hard copy receipt even if you've paid online via CC. The less contact right now, the better. read more

Decided to patronize China Palace II today for our "support a local restaurant once a week campaign". We were so glad we did! The seafood soup for 2 was jammed packed full is seafood! The moo shu pork was spot on! The chefs special Dragon & Phoenix was great too! A nice portion of General Tso's chicken and shrimp with mixed vegetables. Well done! read more

Spent a lot of money here last night for a family of 5. We all got different chicken. They all tasted the same with to much sauce. Won't come here again. read more

This is my go to spot. I love the portions, flavor and staff. I've tried half the menu and each item is well made. A staple in my book! Go to is lomein, crab Rangoon and pepper steak read more

Stopped by this afternoon to pick up a bit of Chinese food. We were on our way to the supermarket and searched for the closest Chinese restaurant. We were very lucky and picked China Palace. My wife had a fried tofu meal and I ordered Orange chicken. Additionally, we asked for a hot tea. The food was delicious and the owner placed a full kettle of hot tea on our table. The price was the icing on the cake. We ended up paying $26 including a generous tip. We will definitely come back. read more

I'm so delayed in writing this review as tonight's dinner was actually our third time having food from this place. Let me start by saying I'm super snobby and rude about fried rice. I hate places that just toss plain white rice with "browner" . This was THEE best fried rice and lo mien I've EVER had. We called in a large shrimp lo main, beef lo mein and a small plain fried rice. Got the total and was told it would be 15 mins. We got there early and the order was already there and waiting. . I'm always picky about "beef" from places... but that is not a concern with this place. Beef was cooked perfectly and great size pieces. fried rice had PLENTY of shrimp and my kid crushed the small fried rice by herself... The place will always get my business. Time to try some of their other dishes. read more

I ordered their food from their hotel, so cannot comment on their restraurant's interior. Having said that, their hot and sour soup is not bad. It's a bit oily side with not so spicy side. So is their Sha Cha Chicken. As a matter of fact, maybe because I got a delivered food, the food ended up being kinda soggy. Their spring rolls are not bad though. If you're hungry for Chinese food, this is not a bad option. I'm sure there're better choices even in Manassas though. read more

Consistently good I've ordered here quite a few times and it's always tasty. Delivery is super fast and food is reasonably priced. They have really good creamy Crab rangoon perfectly paired with the orange sauce...yum! I've ordered different meals like shrimp fried rice, veggie lo mien and beef and broccoli. Nice portion side...always good. The only thing I don't care for is the spring rolls. read more

As a traveler I am always looking for a good place to eat or get delivery from. I stayed in Manassas, Virginia and China Palace II was the number one hit on Yelp for delivery. I read the reviews most good and a very few not good, and most talked about the delivery guy. I can see why..... He must have jet engines on his shoes because he was there in a flash to deliver my food. Very pleasant and a real nice guy. The ordering process was equally good from a warm and friendly greeting to the final order and amount of cost. I am very impressed with the service and the food is another dimension. I have eaten at a lot of Chinese places across the US and Canada and I must say this one ranks among the top. Food is hot ( I felt like playing bake potato trying to unpack the food) it was very hot. It was freshly made and a great flavor in all the dishes. I ordered the Rangoon and wow out of this world flavor and I would say the best I have ever had, crispy but not over done. Wonton soup was great and flavorful and full wontons which you don't find everywhere. I also ordered the sesame chicken and this is the best I have ever had Yep I'm a pig because I also ordered the Mongolian beef and it to was fresh, hot and very tasty. So now I am very content, belly full and a few leftovers for later or tomorrow. I cannot see why anyone would not give at least 3.5 stars and a bad review. I would like to give 9 stars. As far as I am concerned those people who are not impressed are the ones you couldn't please if the meal came with a thousand dollars. I will be a repeat customer and I am sure once you try it you will be as well. read more

Been there several times for the buffet. Been enjoying Chinese buffets in Manassas for 30 years. Chinese Imperial in the Kmart shopping center used to be the best, but their quality went way down and price way up; I won't go there anymore. I've enjoyed China Palace's hot and sour soup and have gotten it several times. Not the best I've had, but the best in Manassas. So I ate there yesterday for the 5th time... the buffet. They get tremendous business from Latino men construction workers. So much so that they have fried plantains on their limited buffet. I always start with the hot and sour soup, dumplings, and spring rolls. Mediocre. Then tried a little of everything else on the buffet; mediocre. Nothing so good that I'd want to go back. I think I've been there my last time. They will continue to do well with the Latino construction workers, and for that, I say kudos to the owners for pleasing their target audience. To those who know good Chinese, stay away. read more

I wish I had tried this place years ago. The Kung Pao was great. Finally, a Chinese place that puts plenty of vegetables in their food. Coming here from New York City, and before that Albuquerque, I'm used to vegetables in my Chinese food. The sauce wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was nice. The egg roll was good. The lunch special was plenty of food, and a great price. Within the U.S., Chinese food varies with regions and I was resigned to never eating Chinese food here again. read more

We have ordered from this place 3 times and loved each one. Even their one mistake (giving us wonton soup instead of egg drop) turned into something good as we like the wonton even better. The wonton soup with their homemade crunchy bits is great. The sweet and sour chicken is great as is the cream cheese Rangoons. The sesame and orange chicken is mediocre but the rest makes up for it. If you want Chinese delivery this place is great read more

Great service ! Would recommend for fast service inside the place and delivery. Buffet is great.

Pretty good food. Having lived in Centreville for 12 years I grew accustomed to the food there. Sadly the place I used to order is in Fair Lakes and will not deliver here. I digress... My brother and I called everywhere, Szechuan Garden, didn't pick up the phone, Jade palace said we were too far? Anyway we finally called China Palace II, the guy on the phone seemed non complacent, but at least he listened and was courteous. Anyway, they came pretty fast, the delivery guy was nice, and the biggest thing was he forgot his pen in his car. I have plenty of pens, so it was no big deal...if that's the worst that happened call me lucky. As for the food, the sweet and sour sauce was watery, and neither sweet or sour (no biggie, the other places usually give you 17 large cups of it and I barely use one, they give you 2 small cups.) The fried wontons were crispy and tasty, the chicken was good and the fried rice was absolutely delicious. I would definitely try again. *update* I have given this place a few more tries, I love how fast they are, and that they don't use MSG. Definitely give it a try. read more

Very poor customer service, my fiancé and I were at the counter getting ready to put our order in and a worker came from behind the kitchen to tell us that they are closed after we were waiting for over 10 minutes, what's the point of giving someone a menu if you're not going to serve them. I'll take my business elsewhere. Save yourself a trip, their menu is very limited. read more

Love this place! One of the best Chinese spots in Manassas! They're lunch buffet is especially good!

I came here for the $7.95 lunch buffet. I was not impressed. Most of the food I grabbed from the buffet was lukewarm at best. Turning up the heatlamps may be the least of the problems here. The general tso's chicken was swimming in too much sauce and had lost all of its texture. It was not pleasant at all. As for the sweet and sour fried chicken nuggets the fried batter coating the meat was somewhat mushy. I've had much better. The spring roll I ate was...not good. I couldn't even tell how it was cooked, fried, steamed, maybe boiled...who knows. Maybe just maybe if you are looking to stuff your face with mediocre Chinese buffet food right next to a Home Depot and can't find any other options just stop right in and see for yourself. read more

I made the mistake of going here while out of town on business and trying it because it was close to my hotel. The menu has a Thai section and I ordered the Thai basil chicken for $10. It had 2 basil leaves in it and about a half a chicken breast. Nothing about this dish was Thai. They asked if I wanted it hot and I said yes, Thai hot.... they added jalapeños. Don't be fooled by the Thai menu at this place. I should have known better. It's basic Chinese takeout and nothing more. The Thai menu is a joke and a rip off. read more

I stopped here tonight after work for some dinner. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken dinner special which comes with fried rice and an egg roll My first thought when I ordered was there wasn't going to be much food because the price was only $6.50. Boy was I wrong. There was plenty of food and it tasted very good. The only thing that could have been better was the egg roll. So far it was the best Chinese food I've had in manassas. Give them a try! read more

Yummy and great value! Popped in here with my husband - we were going into subway and looked in and it was packed! Always a good sign so we went on and enjoyed a wonderful buffet lunch! Wish we lived closer !! read more

Wasn't expecting much when we walked in, and food was indeed disappointing. Shrimp toast was inedible, black on the outside and cold on the inside, the chicken meat they mixed in the filling was raw, and we couldn't find much shrimp in the shrimp toast. Kung Pao chicken was really weird, a lot of carrot cubes and celery, and very scarce chicken hidden in the heavy batter. Drunken noodle was terrible, beef was hard, and not much flavor to the noodle other than the super hot peppers. Overall, a very poor experience for us. read more
