Good spot for yummy dim sum as well as great lunch specials. I've been here many times and the food is always consistently tasty and the service is always great and attentive. The restaurant is very ornate and beautiful inside and there is a banquet room as well if you're looking for an event venue. Plenty of parking in their lot. There is also a separate area for takeout/pickup orders. read more

I come here when my coworkers and I crave Chinese food. Fried rice is one of my go to's and is pretty damn good. Their lunch special is a pretty good deal that comes with egg flower soup. As much as I do think this place is good there are better Chinese spots in Stockton. I mainly come here for the convenience. The staff is super nice and sweet. Just sometimes I feel like they forget about us. I also think the chili paste always on the table tastes pretty alright just kinda looks like it needs to be replaced. I remember I got the dim sum a while ago and it was very good. I'd still give this place a shot just kinda wish it was more consistent sometimes. read more

I've gone to china palace for their dim sum quite a few times with a close friend of mine. For what and where it is, it's pretty good, and more importantly more authentic than many other spots. STRENGTHS: *Everything we ordered was delicious, I don't remember exactly what we ordered but I do know it was good. Potential improvements: * It was fairly pricey, with quality not matching value. However, the quantity made up for the price, as we had leftovers for a good couple days. read more

Very authentic Cantonese food and great portions for the price per order. The location is Stockton and seems to be in a run down plaza. Don't get fool by the old traditional interior and sometimes caters to American, however the food is definitely Chinese quality at a reasonable price. read more

My sister and I went out for a lunch date. We were craving Chinese food so we came to China Palace. We ordered from the dim sum menu. This was our first time ordering dim sum. Though, the servers were pushy, the food was delicious. We got the shrimp dumplings, fried shrimp balls, and egg custard tarts. They were all very yummy. You can either order from the dim sum menu or the regular one. But if you want both, you do need to ask for the other menu. We figured this out after we had already ordered from the dim sum menu. We also ordered two lunch specials. They were also tasty. The place is very spacious and has a lot of Chinese decor. My experience was not as enjoyable, because of the staff,though. We both felt very uncomfortable and pushed to order more food and pay tip. It was not professional or polite at all. I hope the next time I go, my visit is much more pleasant. read more

We had a remembrance lunch for my brother here. The food was delicious and the manager Winnie was a delight to arrange all the details

Best dim sum in Stockton! I love the service here and it's so fun having family brunch here.

I've been in Stockton all my life and the quality and taste of the food here, has changed drastically over the years. Service is a hit or miss, depending on when and what time you go. Overall, it's a great place to host parties etc but the food needs a tad bit more attention because it's not what it used to be. read more

I go here for the dim sum. I have my favorite like the fried shrimp balls, crispy taro, baked buns, beef tripe, stuffed eggplants and their shrimp dumplings and Shumai. read more

Great dim sum not sure about the food. I never had the food. I always go to get the dim sum. Well worth it.

Husband and I went out for lunch with recommendations to try this place and ordered from both menus (ask for both). Food quality was inconsistent, especially for being right after opening at 11am. Food: Hong Kong noodles - hot (best item) BBQ pork buns - cold Pot stickers - hot Siu mai - warm to cold Spareribs - warm Service: The staff made the experience awkward and uncomfortable. We also felt pushed about tipping. After taking our payment, they never returned with our change, so we ended up leaving an $18 tip, which felt forced--especially given the food temperature issues. Overall, the place has potential, but the service and food consistency need improvement. read more

We had my wedding here and though there was some issues with a few servers, my wedding was a night to remember. There are a lot of things to remember from a wedding and the food is definitely one of them. Thank you for delicious food. Winnie is a very great owner who takes pride in her restaurant, she was so happy to see how our wedding turn out and very accommodating. My lack of one star is due to two servers on which Winnie addressed. Otherwise I highly recommend the food here and wedding as well. read more

I Just ordered orange chicken, chow mein, and crab rangoon. The crab rangoon was completely cream cheese. Not a smidgen of fucking artificial crab in it! The chow mein was soggy as fuck! Also the orange chicken I ordered was fucking sweet and sour chicken. Also when I tried to call them they pretended like all of a sudden they didn't know English when they answered and took the order in English. Do not ever order from this place! You will be sorry that you did! FUCK CHINA PALACE!!!!!! I GIVE IT A NEGATIVE 1000 THEY SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL FOR THIER FUCKING SERVICE THAT THEY GIVE!!!!!! read more

Here for my GF's wedding reception dinner . Ambience is like many Asians wedding I been too. Round table seats 10 , food is family style on a lazy Susan turn table . Live band in the foreground of the stage . By far the best fried quail , baked sea bass I ever had. I definitely would order this again here next time . Not so keen for the seafood xo sauce , and their fried rice , some part of the rice were raw and some were so mushy. other than that I liked the rest of the dishes we had. Plenty of parking spaces available. Part of the restaurant also offer dine in or to go orders when there was a private event . read more

The food was delicious and plentiful. Our waiter was courteous and helpful. The atmosphere was family style , a trip to China, thru decor.

The food is delicious and fresh. Best Chinese food, I feel, in town. The service is very good. I love the ambiance. My to go place.

My family enjoyed the combination plates. Our favorite is two number fours in one of them changed to chow mein. I'm always unhappy when they're closed. This is from a takeout view. We had a birthday party inside one time in order to pay king meal I believe it was or something like that and we love the food amount in how they put it on a carousel. It was truly an experience for us. We were a party of team. Lots of food. read more

I order the chicken pot stickers almost every week. Can't ever find another place who makes them as well. I love the thick chewy wrapper. Nobody else makes it like they do. If I ever move, this is one place and one specific food I will miss haha. read more

I love China Palace, but after coming for years I've learned the experience can be hit or miss. They can get VERY busy so you want to plan accordingly whether you plan to dine in or grab takeout. The parking lot is great in the plaza, the restaurant is a lot bigger inside than you'd think and the staff are generally very nice and welcoming. On our latest visit we were seated right away- on a Saturday at 12:30pm- and immediately they had dim-sum carts at our table with options. This is my first experience with the dim-sum carts since the pandemic and my first time back at China Palace in as long. I love seeing the options, but there's always uncertainty if I should specially request other dishes that aren't on the cart or wait until they organically come out. This time we got shrimp and chive dumplings, fried stuffed dumplings and Shumai off the cart immediately and then ordered a full order of potstickers. We had mentioned to one person we were looking for sesame balls and steamed pork buns, but by the end of our meal we didn't see them come through and didn't have another opportunity to make the request. Maybe it was a good thing though, after we ate our original selections we were already stuffed. We tend to over order and have leftovers, but this time we had the perfect amount. I'll admit, I would have made room for a sesame ball though. This is a great spot for dim-sum and other great Chinese dishes. I also love grabbing takeout orders here, then you can order EVERYTHING. read more

The food here is really good, portions are huge! Fried garlic chicken never misses, we also had the orange & lemon chicken both super good as well. Their fried rice is good for rice, but what I do need to recommend is their BEEF CHOW FUN!!! Absolutely amazing, very slept on. The service is good, pretty fast for the most part. Sometimes certain things come out a little cold, but overall decent customer service. Not the biggest fan of individual soda cans and lack of refills, but with the amount of food you eat here probably good to not have too much carbonation. I came one time and it was very quiet and not busy, I then came on a friday night when a private event took place next to where I was eating. Music was so loud and people were doing karaoke, I personally enjoyed it and loved the atmosphere but I can see that not being for everyone. read more

Grabbed a late lunch on Tuesday afternoon and they were pretty busy. We were able to order from the dimsum menu and everything satisfied our cravings. The chow fun was flavorful. Pork turnovers were huge and tasty. Their shrimp balls did come out cold though. They looked hot but the moment I grabbed one, I knew they must've just pulled them out of "storage". The haw gar was a little thick for my liking as well. The prices are a bit higher compared to other dim sum restaurants. Some of their dim sum dishes are $7.99! They do offer a traditional Chinese menu and lunch specials seemed to be popular amongst other tables. I saw a few of them pass by and the portions are huge! So you can atleast get a good deal on Chinese lunch specials here! Service was fast and friendly. Food was good. Prices are just a bit high. read more

The lady who answered the phone got my order WRONG! I tried to tell her it was wrong she barely listened and told me to bring the food back she will buy it and eat it for herself. I'm so frustrated because I had to send my son there to get and send him back because of the food not being correct. I'm sick getting treatments so it's hard to have others do for you as it is. Her attitude was deplorable. I asked for fried rice add crab n shrimp. I was very specific I want the regular fried rice just add crab n I paid $5.00 extra for shrimp. I also asked 3 times for sweet n sour in the cups didn't get that. I'm very disappointed because one I'm hungry two now I have to find another Chinese spot in Stockton. SMH I absolutely hate a business that does not value its customers. I wish I could put a negative-0 read more

Good food every single time, I highly recommend stopping by. My family and I have been coming here for many years.

After grocery shopping at Winco, I took a chance to see if China Palace was open and it was! Not too smart coming here to pick up some "snacks" before I had coffee or breakfast! The TO GO deli section of the restaurant was opened at 11am Custard tarts (crust little too thick for me) custard bun is very good, chai sui bun (too salty) and the pretty flower buns were weird.. with hot dogs. I also picked up rice noodles with beef (not pictured), it was good but had some very tough chewy green onions (not edible) and a lot of white onions. I had bought some pork filled, deep fried dim sum, but I gave those away before taking a pic. Not too happy for what I picked up, but next time will try something else.. after I've eaten breakfast!! read more

Always a good experience food good price high and fried rice so so on our last visit, nobody perfect.

I have been going to this restaurant since I was a kid and it is still one that I go to today. If you want some good dim sum in Stockton then this is one place you can definitely go to. This restaurant is also convenient for me since it is so close to my house. I usually order garlic pea sprouts, shrimp dumplings, shrimp chong fun, and chicken feet. I actually like their custard buns when they are hot out of the oven and my siblings will eat a lot of the BBQ Pork Buns. I really enjoy having their food. Fun fact is that I actually had my wedding at this restaurant and so did my aunts. It is a great place to hold big events that includes food along with it. The manager tries and work with you to help lower down the price too. The only reason why I gave this restaurant a 4 star was that on my wedding they didn't really follow my instructions. I wasn't able to eat all the food that I spent money on. The table with people that are vegan were given meat. Also the bridal party got served last. The environment is very homey though. It's authentic Chinese food and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. read more

Many places were hurt with the pandemic as was probably China Palace. I think depending on the cook you get as of late the food has been hit or miss having said that I think I've been lucky. The chef had his or her a game tonight and our waitress was super nice, we had the $53 special where you pick three items and it includes a bowl of soup. We added salty fish, fried rice and the three of us ate it up. read more

Wedding Review Ok so I recently did my wedding here and I have to say i was disappointed. First they had a lunch event right before our event and did not had adequate time to set up. I feel like if you're booking a weeking you shouldn't book anything else that day. When my family arrived to start set up at 3 (the earliest they told us we could be there for an event that start at 5) the tables weren't even out). They had to move the tables from the separate entrance before we could even begin setting up. And people started arriving before set up was done. The chairs were bare and did not have a seat cover like they do in their pictures. And their sweetheart take was just a table in the middle (there was no food being served to the table btw) They also take forever to bring out food. (8ish?) My guest ate everything off the dessert table. I would probably provide My own appetizer during cocktail hour next time. We were in need of 1 extra table which I didn't think was a big deal since they said they would have 3 tables on stand by if needed (which they said they wouldn't charge us for, but did anyway) Make sure someone counts the money with them several times they tried to say we were short when we weren't. (Both when I paid half the amount and the final amount the night of). They started closing their barriers at 10pm (we had place until midnight), so the rooms was being closed off. They were just rude over all. Not a great to treat your customers when they spend 11k. The good is that we were able to bring our own alcohol. (But we need our own Coolers and ice to keep them cold) read more

I'll call myself a glutton for punishment. I should have known better than to come back here for a second time. The first time I went, it was for Dim Sum. Be careful with this place. They have what I'd call sympathetic prejudice. If you look closely, you'll notice they seat Chinese people in one area and everyone else outside. They serve the Chinese customers first and then bring all the cold dishes to everyone else. This might be cultural, but it results in poor service for anyone who isn't Chinese. I had to tell the server several times to bring me hot food, like she did for the other chimese people. When she finally realized what she was doing, she stopped, but we had already eaten four or five cold dishes by then. My wife and I picked up and left. A few months later, I decided to give this place another shot for lunch. They have takeout. The portions were big, and they charged me thirteen dollars for lunch. But I got sick from the food because it probably sits under lights for too long. I also suspect they serve different portions to different people. When they want to get rid of old food, they have no problem dumping it on your plate, which can make you sick. As far as I'm concerned, China Palace is off my list. I will probably never go there again. Be careful with this place. If you're the wrong color, you might get served the wrong food. read more

This is what $90 worth of food will get you. Im shocked. We ordered the house chow mein, Mongolian beef, honey walnut shrimp, shrimp fried rice, sweet sour chicken, crab Rangoon. The House Chow Mein (Hong Kong Style) did not have flavor. Don't recommend. The Crab Rangoons (6) was filled with only sweet cream cheese. Don't recommend. Everything else was tasty. However, $15.99 for this amount of walnut shrimp ??? Umm. Are you serious? Over priced. Im not coming back. read more
