I guess I must be missing something, because my review does not reflect those of others on here. I absolutely love China Palace. I think there General Tso's is one of the best in the city and I could snack on their "chips" and duck sauce all day (and I almost have). They have a bar inside as well, which is a less common, but welcomed addition to a chinese restaurant. My recommendation? General Tso's or Sesame Chicken every time. read more

Bland food at best for the high price. Didn't include crispy noodles with soup. Tasteless dumplings. Spicy items a joke.

One of my favorite chinesse places around. Great service, great food and they deliver. I have been going for years and not have had a bad time. Definitely worth going once or twice a week. My favorite meal when going is there chicken and green beans. I like to try to stay on he healthier side and they give you many options to accomplish my goals. Their menu is also very vast and can come back 50 times and still try something new. read more

I was really really in the mood for Chinese food so I stopped in for some take out. I got Mongolian Beef- and asked for them to add ginger because that's how I make it and I like it. The portion was in the round container I associate with the lunch sizes in everywhere I've had Chinese food from Chicago to New Jersey to New York- but not lunch prices. I wouldn't mind if it were good though. But it really, really wasn't. It was bland. Bland, flavorless, and tasteless. The sauce was like the Au Jus you get in little containers with beef sandwiches- thin, watery, and....unappetizing. With not even a matchstick of ginger to be seen. Blegh. SO dissatisfied was I- that the next day I stopped where I was traveling in the South Side at Chan An- a fast food looking joint- the portion was twice as large, the price half as much- and it was delicious. Think I'll go write a review for them now. read more

Went for lunch today food was very good I had the chicken with cashews. Asked for it spicy and they made it perfect. Wife had seafood with vegetables she liked it. Staff friendly and soup was tasty Will return soon read more

In town for business and found this spot close to my hotel. One of the best cashew chicken dishes I have ever tasted. Made perfectly with great flavor to the sauce. The hot & sour soup was also terrific. Staff was beyond courteous and friendly. Wonderful meal. My compliments to the chef. read more

The only reason why I went here was because of a commercial... something about being rated the #1 Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh. Well, something along those lines. Inside, the restaurant was clean and well kept. I was greeted by the staff and my waiter was very prompt with menus, my drink order, and food. The menu was filled with many great choices. I decided on the Chicken Pad Thai because most Chinese restaurants can pull it off. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but I was surprised at how good it tasted. I wasn't a fan of the price seeing as how I could get a bigger portion at another location. Still, the food tasted good and the service was great. read more

I have never eaten inside but I've gotten take out several times. They are always friendly on the phone and when I pick up the food. Food is always hot. They don't always put silverware in it which is annoying but other than that I find their food pretty delicious. read more

I enjoy ordering delivery or take out from this restaurant. The food is always consistent and if you eat there, the staff is kind and attentive. They have a big menu and I have learned through 4 years of ordering many different items off of their menu, that some things they are good at and others not so much. I really enjoy their handmade steamed dumplings, pad Thai, and all of their Thai style curries. read more

Had some business in another establishment at Jonnet Plaza and I was hungry. It was either this place or El Campesino, and I wasn't eager for Mexican. The restaurant is dark and plain, like many strip mall Chinese restaurants. Typical assortment of Naugahyde vinyl booths and black metallic tables and chairs. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu was huge, though the lunch menu was limited to one page. $6.95 gets you an egg roll or soup and an entree with either steamed or fried rice. I went for the beef/broccoli with fried rice. Diet soda. The egg roll was okay, but cold. Granted, it was 2.00p or so, but couldn't it have been warm, at the very least? The entree was good. The broccoli was fresh and still a bit crisp, not at all overdone. The beef was tender. The sauce was fine. The fried rice was nothing but rice with a couple of peas here and there. I ate. I paid the bill. I left. Utilitarian but nothing special. It wasn't bad but it certainly isn't a place I'd go out of my way to patronize. I did notice a lot of people -- local shop and business people from their attire -- coming out of the place when I first arrived at the plaza, so I assume it's a popular lunch spot for the folks in the surrounding stores. If you're stuck out near Miracle Mile and looking for some decent, run-of-the-mill Chinese food, this place will do. read more

This place gets a bonus star for having a good egg roll. We ordered lunch for delivery, I had the pineapple chicken, it couldn't have tasted more bland, the chicken looked boiled and was rubbery, the sauce was as thin as broth and lacked any flavor. The portion size was much smaller than I have ever received from a lunch menu; I know a lunch portion is typically smaller and cheaper, but for $7.25, I expected more. I have always been able to have two meals even with a lunch portion, this was barely enough for one, which is good considering the flavor profile. read more

Over priced for the quality of the food. Just ordered takeout and ordered mooshu shrimp which had a very light amount of shrimp in the portion. The dumplings were mostly just dough with sauce, little meat and for two people we managed to spend $35 somehow. read more

We ordered take out and it was really good... General Tso's Chicken and they offer all white meat which is awesome!!! Also ordered beef fried rice and cheese wontons. Everything was hot and fresh. There were even fried noodles! We enjoyed it...the restaurant itself wasn't busy for a Friday evening...but it was spotless and nicely decorated. Full bar available. ..we will be back! read more

After reading the reviews here, I still decided to try out this place. There are not that many Chinese restaurants in Monroeville, and I've been feeling like Chinese food all day. I just wanted some food with good taste. The restaurant was pretty good size. It was clean and somewhat welcoming. The staff members were kind and nice. Me and my husband wanted to take out couple of dishes, so we ordered combination pan fried noodles, young chow fried rice, and palace vegetable delight. It didn't take long to get our food, and everything smelled really good. It was hard not to take a peak while driving back. Pan fried noodles dish was packaged so nicely. The noodle was kept separately so that it doesn't get soggy in the sauce. The taste was pretty authentic and delicious. There was a lot of vegetable in it, but not so much seafood/meat although the price was for a seafood dish. Still, the flavor was good. Fried rice seemed a little too pale with no flavor. But when I tasted it, it was actually pretty tasty. Maybe I was expecting brown fried rice that we usually see at hibachi places. The vegetable dish was probably the most bland dish out of what we got. It was just pan fried vegetable in clear sauce, and the sauce was really oily. The whole container and the brown bag was drenched in oil underneath. Overall, food from China Palace satisfied my craving, and I would go back for General Tso's chicken that everyone is talking about. read more

This place is AMAZING. The staff are incredibly sweet, and the service is crazy fast. They give you chips, water, and tea right as you sit down and the food is ready within maybe 10-15 minutes. The food is very good!! This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to!! read more

Had a really horrible experience with this place. Placed an order for delivery and the order was wrong and a person didn't get their meal. Called back and they delivered the food but forgot another part of the order. Called back a 2nd time and they gave me man answering the phone argued with me and made me pay again for the food they forgot. This is very unprofessional and not a good way to treat customers. I will never be ordering from them again. BAD BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great food, though if you like spicy ask for the red pepper sauce and owner actively involved as long as the Pens aren't playing when you are there. read more

The General Tso's with all white meat chicken is amazing! Large portions and good customer service.

excellent vegetarian menu. the garlic sauce was a bit on the sweet side and the brown rice charge ($1.50 extra/entree) is a bit high but the prep quality is top tier. well worth keeping their menu on hand for any takeout cravings... read more

Very rude. If you are black don't go there. Waiter threw bag to go at us. Waiter didn't address me act like I didn't have any money even their customer were rude bouncing back and forth in the booth behind me. Very bad service!!!!!!! read more

I lived in Pittsburgh for 24 years before moving to Texas. China Palace is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants to go to for the classic General Tso Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Lo Mein, Mushu, Broccoli Chicken, etc! They don't use MSG in their dishes. read more

Hands down best Chinese in Monroeville. Clean resturant, consistent food, and an extremley friendly staff. If they could only get out of the ugly Jonnet Plaza. read more

My wife ordered delivery from here on a whim. The food arrived very quickly. Piping hot. I like to try different things so I had ordered the beef lo mein, chicken fried rice, ribs, hunan wings. My wife had the General Tso's shrimp. Portion size was great. Taste was OUTSTANDING! Sadly I lost a few fingers trying to sample my wife's shimp (just kidding, with food as good as China Palace's in front of her, she wouldn't waste time biting my fingers). This review is very easy to write. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. NOTE: I didn't taste the napkins, but I'm sure they would have been great too. This meal is up there in the top 3 of Chinese food I've ever had. I can't get more specific than that because it's been so long since I had really good Chinese food I don't remember the actual details of the previous meals. My wife and I both ate (over ate), and there's still enough left for another meal or two. I may end up adding China Palace to speed dial buttons. Then again, since it seems like we're going to be ordering from them quite a bit, the extra calorie burned while manually dialing might be a good idea. read more

They make the best Chinese FOOD in Pittsburgh. All their lunch specials are fantastic. This China Palace makes one of my favorite soup - Tom Yum Soup. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more

Very enjoyable atmosphere and great tasting food. Got to love the free tea and chips with the sweet n sour they serve before you even get your food. The food is great tasting and you get a big portion, and that is why I will keep going, it's affordable! read more

I was stuck at work with no lunch so decided to order China Palace for their General Tso's Chicken. I had enjoyed this dish before but thought it was overpriced. I was able to order a lunch special but immediately regretted my choice of China Palace. The chicken was lacking sauce and overcooked. I had to pour my hot and sour soup over the chicken just to make it somewhat edible. I normally roll with the punches but considering the price I paid I called the restaurant to let them know of my experience. The man on the phone replied "Was there not enough sauce?" which I replied no and then he said, "okay thanks"!!! So that will be the last time I order from there, I prefer Chinese food from a restaurant but their quality matches the food court and their food is a third of the price!!! read more
