We communicated online, he was prompt in responding, advising my orders and assuring of everything would be ready. It is the best experience I've had for ordering food to go. I really appreciation Steven and Palette for providing the best services. I rate this restaurant as first class with best customer services.

Palette is a modernized version of Hong Kong Chinese food. I really enjoyed all my experience here…read more And what makes them unique are the palette of sauces they give you. I think it's a fun idea to tweak a bite, but unnecessary...with exceptions to the chili oil. The stir fried fish fillet was a standout because of the mushrooms and vegetables! All the textures really mended together. The only thing I didn't like was the raw garlic. The Waygu beef was tasty, tender, and red! And the minced Waygu fried rice was just okay. The only shortfall was the wok hei was a tad bit underwhelming in the Waygu beef and fried rice at my last visit. Palette is worth a stop if you're craving elevated Cantonese that still feel authentic. I'd say about 1.5 entrees per person is a good ratio to stick with. FYI-The final bill already includes tip.

We shared the pork dumpling with napa cabbage. I got the beef Beijing noodles. The noodles looks like it's made fresh and it's not seasoned. It gets its flavors then the beef.

I would definitely come back and try their soup dumplings and other things on their menu.

I was craving Desi Chinese for my birthday in a very specific, slightly unreasonable way, and Red…read moreHot Chili Pepper completely delivered. For the birthday dinner, we ordered chicken fried rice, dry chilli chicken, dry chilli fish, and the sizzling chicken for my son. The dry chilli chicken and fish were the stars. Spicy, flavorful, and exactly what I had been dreaming about. They also surprised me with a flourless cake, ice cream, and a sparkler, which was such a sweet touch and made the birthday girl very happy. Naturally, we went back for Happy Hour, which runs from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The lychee martini was absolutely singing my name, but in an unexpected display of maturity, I stuck to water. K had the $5 draft beer, and we shared four appetizers: two orders of dry chilli chicken because we already knew how this story would end, dry chilli fish, and the Konjee crispy lamb. We would not order the lamb again, but the chicken and fish? Absolutely. No notes. I may already be emotionally attached to the dry chilli chicken. Savio was our host and was warm, responsive, and lovely throughout. This has officially become a monthly hangout spot for K and me, although I suspect the dry chilli chicken may see us more often than that.

The chow mein was definitely…read morethe highlight--thick noodles with great texture, and it wasn't overly oily or drenched in sauce like you often find elsewhere. I also ordered the Mongolian beef, which was flavorful and made with good-quality beef that wasn't fatty. My only complaint was the amount of sauce--it was very thick and oily, and enough leaked out of the to-go container to make a mess. The bean paste chicken was also tasty, with fresh vegetables and tender chicken, but again there was a heavy pool of sauce at the bottom of the container. Cutting back on the sauce a bit would make both dishes even better. Overall, the food was flavorful, portions were solid, and the prices are hard to beat. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area.

Not sure how on earth this place is still carrying 4 stars at the moment. It used to be decent…read more Not remotely what I would consider quality Americanized Chinese takeout. Or really any quality takeout of any kind. $90 order, ranging from dumplings to basic entrees to rice. Everything was off - slopped together, underseasoned, lazy vegetable chopping (and questionable) choices of vegetable ingredients. No Wok fire/heat evident in any of the entree's and everything was a gluey, flavorless mess. The noodles for the Lo Mein seemed honestly just spaghetti. The orange chicken was dry/old, almost no breading, and honestly didn't taste orangey at all. The kung pao looked like what my 7 year old could have made (when we was seven). More like boiled chicken topped with raw Safeway vegetables, whole peanuts, and a soupy cornstarch soy sauce afterthought. The kicker was they do not have any house made sauces, so if you want good mustard or something edible for dipping - welcome to shitty packet hell as they refused to provide those (if they existed). I'm curious what they do when you're in-house but if I''m paying for the same food I'm not sure why I wouldn't get something besides high-fructose corn syrup garbage stamped out in a factory two years ago. This reflects lack of care to the product and customer experience. Highly unfortunate for an establishment that used to be "decent" as I said.

The server got us sat right away and was friendly. We decide to share a bunch of plates including the pan seared baos, different stuffed rice balls, stuffed scallion pancakes, fried wontons, cucumber salad, purple yam chips, chicken & corn dumplings and Mongolian beef potstickers The pan seared baos and the stuffed scallion pancakes were our absolute favorites. The baos were crispy, rich and juicy. The stuffed scallion pancakes were like tacos with the flakiest and most satisfyingly chewy taco shell. The meat inside was well seasoned and tender. These two dishes in particular are going to be must orders anytime I return. The cheesy kimchi rice balls and purple yam chips were both hits at the table as well. The chips they have made and come out in no time so you can start snacking right away. The rice balls were nice and crispy on the outside than soft and gooey on the inside. They had that bright kimchi flavor. The cucumber salad was good too, the main flavor of them was cilantro so if you don't like cilantro then you should skip it. The fried wontons were standard but satisfying. They did their job. Finally the chicken and corn dumplings and the Mongolian beef dumplings were the weakest of what we ordered. They got mixed reviews from the table. Consensus was that both were pretty bland overall and didn't compare to the other dishes we enjoyed so much. As far as the food there was a lot to love and a couple dishes we'd switch out for something else next time. But we also don't go in expecting to love every dish and are happy to have gotten so many dishes that we do love. Especially those stuffed scallion pancakes, they are the biggest reason this review had to be a 5/5. Also because of the good service and peaceful environment

Decor is trying to be a nicer place than idumpling or redwood bistro. The food was good (dumplings, scallion pancakes with beef, spicy wontons, lobster skewer) but felt small for the (high) price and unnecessarily grilled? They weren't kidding when they call themselves a grill Cons: Service will take a while. They seem to be a hit on DoorDash or food delivery since there were more orders getting picked up than in-store customers. Interior seems kinda unmaintained? Not really a place to go if you're trying to impress, but also not a total barebones takeout place. The decor is nice but the chairs were mostly old and ripped.

No thawing when delivering. If I have the freezer space, and remember to order on time, I love to get these items delivered so I steam them up any time I have a craving.

I love to get an order of the freshly fried pork dumplings as well. They don't arrive hot, but a quick few minutes in the air fryer and they taste fresh fried and very tasty. (I don't order those frozen since I don't want to do the deep frying myself). Definitely give them a try.
