    Lunch menu good until 2pm
    Monica C.

    I've been going to the place across the street for years. Today I decided to come in and I'm glad I did. For Chinese carry out, this place gets 4 stars, I rate by comparing apples to apples. If it weren't for the red tasting sweet and sour sauce and the sweet egg drop soup, it might have been 4.5, if I could give half stars. The food is as good as if not better than the place across the street and the service is definitely 100 times better. Also the restaurant is really nice inside, unlike the place across road, eating in is NOT a good experience, you are literally in the flow of the foot traffic in the store and the tables are close together. Chine Palace has a nice comfortable decor and it's nice enough for a date night with someone you are already in a relationship with. It may even work for a 1st date depending on the situation. I ordered egg drop soup, an egg roll and General Tso chicken. The egg roll was fat and full of meat and veggies and not greasy at all. The egg drop soup was pleasant, it had a slight sweetness to it that I didn't care for. If it weren't for the sweetness, I would definitely have enjoyed it way more than I did. This was too bad, because it really had the potential to be good, lots of egg, nice chunks of carrots and none of that weird viscosity that some soups have from too much corn starch. The General Tso chicken was ok, again better than the place across the road, but not spectacular. I did appreciate the fact that the broccoli had not been steamed into oblivion and even retained some crunch. 2 thumbs up. The dish itself was a bit too sweet and pretty low on the heat scale. I'll definitely try something different my next visit. According to my fortune cookie, I'm going to meet an important person. I do plan on attending a few upcoming events, can't wait to meet someone important. This is my new go to Chinese take out, sorry place across the street - been nice knowing you.

    Overfried patty, very greasy shrimp was chewy, beef was tough.

    WARNING: Owner Miao Hui Zhang can be Overly sensitive and easily triggered if you critique his food, he was extremely vulgar and unprofessional because I returned an overcooked order!! My family and I are Nebraska Natives. Ever since King Fongs closed down China Palace has been our #1 go to spot for Chinese. We spend about $100 a month there between a few family dinners my wife picks up, and me hitting them on the regular for my lunch dishes and egg drop soup. This has been going on for over 10 years now. On average we spend about $1000 a year there as a family. But apparently that means nothing to the owner because he chose vulgarity and disrespect over a $14 order by saying "Fxxk YOU" to me at the end of our transaction. All my previous encounters with him have been very cordial so I was shocked to see this side of him but I have notice changes. It started in Sept 2021. I would take me and my daughter there after volleyball practice on Wednesdays to eat and the place would be randomly closed without notice on Wednesdays so that was strange. I get egg drop soup from there faithfully. It was the best egg drop soup in town period. Always add green onion. However I notice one night when his wife was there I got the order and I called back asking did they change the recipe, because it taste completely different. She said "you don't like, the broth is lighter that's all, I like it that way.." this confused me because I'm used to consistentancy from them. A few weeks later I order my favorite dish from them, Mongolian Triple Crown. I notice the meat taste different particularly the beef, more chewy. Then I tried to order egg foo young but for several weeks they were out, reason I was giving is, *we're short staffed and short on supplies.* Finally yesterday I called and they had it in. I was excited I've been craving it and there egg foo young is one of the best. I got home and was very disappointed. It was dripping greasy, fried hard. The shrimp was chewy and so was the beef which means it was overcooked. I could only eat half a patty. I was fustrated due to all the weird changes going on and after waiting so long to get my dish I decided to call and let them know. They told me to bring it back and if it's like I say they'll make me another. Mkay, super inconvenient but I was really craving it and wanted it done right like I'm used to so I did. I get there and as soon as the owner comes out he looks at it then looks at me and has such a negative energy. "I don't see nothing wrong with this" He said he'll remake but he felt I'm insulting his reputation. I said "C'mon man you know me, I've been coming for over 10yrs have I ever complained or brung anything back?" He says "It's two hours later the composition of the food changes if you let it sit".. I'm like "I ate it soon as I got home, just didn't have time to rush right back to be further inconvenienced over my order." "I can taste the overcooked burnt patty and chewy shrimp and beef." He snatched it off the counter and throws it in the sink under the counter and says something in his native tongue. I said "Can I just get my money back because I don't like this energy especially if you're gonna go in the back and cook my food where I can't see you." I told him "nobody's perfect, it happens" he said "I am, I try to be perfect and your challenging my reputation." At this point I pull my phone out and record because I absolutely can't believe this experience Im getting from him. Even the other customer there was shocked and said "sir this is not how you treat nor talk to customers." I told him "I don't understand why you are raising your voice at me and using this tone when I have been very polite about this awful experience, I spend good money here." "He said so, I have to spend money too." That made no sense but as he notices I'm recording he stops and says "Aww Fxxk YOU" and walks to the back. I guess 10yrs and thousands of dollars don't mean nothing if I have a one time criticism of his food. The young men at the counter did apologize but at that point we obviously were well past this. Ladies and gentlemen there are other places just as good, but not as conviently close to me, to spend your money with. I suggest Asian Blue and Fly, Gold Mountain, Dragon Wok, Umami and Golden Palace for high quality authentic asian cuisine. Great customer service, I gureentee you won't get cursed out over returning a $14 order. They actually value their customers. They'll just remake it to your liking and tell you thank you come again. Update: After posting other reviews somebody sent me a link from a news article about China Palace Owner Miao Hui Zhang and Jian Zhang the Manager very recently named in a six-figure lawsuit from the Dept of Labor for violating federal minimum wage and overtime laws to their staff. Now it's all starting to make sense. Big Red flags. Well good luck with all that.

    Egg rolls
    Terry O.

    Bookguy loves China Palace so when he suggested a late lunch there, I agreed. I have not had Chinese food for quite awhile due to avoiding sodium. So for this lunch I ordered steamed rice and a vegetable egg roll, knowing I would be able to filch broccoli from Bookguy. He ordered Triple Delight which was chicken, beef, and shrimp with Chinese vegetables in brown sauce. He also had a couple shrimp egg rolls and steamed rice. I was right, his meal had broccoli so I put all that green goodness on my plate with some of my rice. No need to add anything since the broccoli was already lightly coated with brown sauce. It wasn't crunchy as it would be if lightly steamed, but the combination worked well. Bookguy always gets Triple Delight because he thinks the three proteins taste great together. As usual he loved it. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside and packed with the filling. I have to say that in my egg roll, I missed the usual chicken flavor since I had ordered the veggie version and the soy sauce that I'm avoiding, but that's just me. China Palace used to have little packets of almond cookies, but apparently not any more. I had been looking forward to those, but made do with a fortune cookie instead.

    Chicken Green Beans - my fave
    Candi P.

    China Palace - they have it all: great food at a great price point and the best staff on the planet! Whether I get their food delivered to the house or go there for a nice meal, I can always, always count on my Green Bean Chicken being PERFECT. Friends also got Almond Chicken and Mongolian Beef at the table and were great as well. We especially love their Hot Sour Soup -- just wonderful -- with lots of ingredients, not just broth. I'm from Southern California and it reminds me of an Old School Chinese restaurant, kinda campy in interiors, but the food is great.

    Super good egg drop here
    Cat F.

    You can go here and get great Chinese food almost anytime. It's good, real good. They always have a lunch special and you can get it fast. I like the service here as well, they will answer your questions and explain it if necessary. China Palace is always clean and very welcoming.

    Some of the best asian food I've had in Omaha! It's so hard to find a place that doesn't overcook their food / deep fry everything / totally deviate from normal Chinese American food. This place is a real breath of fresh air. Service was great, the old lady and her husband running the place were super friendly! You can bet I'll be back anytime I have craving for a huge portion of Chinese food.

The dumplings came out rather quickly, and plates came roughly around the same time. The food was hot, very good, and authentic. Our soup dumplings were some of the best I've had in a long while, the sesame balls were scrumptious and I recommend both! The crab rangoon was incredibly fresh, the shells were still crunchy the next day after sitting in the fridge. While not normally a fan of them, these were delish, definite recommendation. The interior was bustling! Different types from all walks here for scrumptious dumplings. It was pretty busy for a Saturday night, most tables were filled. Very clean place. Reasonably priced, warm staff, amazing soup dumplings, and good location!

After a couple of minutes, I went back up to the counter and asked if they had already started making it, because I wanted to change my order. The kitchen was open, so I said to the cook, "Don't worry about it if you've already started. I know my indecision can impact people, and I don't want to be a problem." He looked at me and said, "No, it's totally fine. Would you like some veggies on the side?" "Yes, that would be amazing," I said, and walked back to my table... and burst into tears. It wasn't just what he said. It was the kind energy in his eyes. I felt someone who took pride in what he was making, and who genuinely wanted people to be happy. I found myself asking, why am I crying? Because in a world where so many people in power feel disconnected, where corporations can make us feel like numbers, being genuinely cared for in a small café reminded me how much I love humans. Most people have love in their hearts and are trying to share it in their own small ways. As the world cracks, these simple things are more meaningful than ever.
