My husband and I have ordered food from Dragon Palace for the last four years. The first three years we thought, this place is pretty good! Now I am a huge critic when it comes to Chinese food because I lived in New England for 20 years and worked in the best Chinese restaurant for two. So I have had the absolute best!!! Over the past year and especially two days ago, ON MY BIRTHDAY, we had the worst food ever! Our sweet & sour chicken was so dried out it went in the bin along with the spring rolls that only had glass or vermicelli noodles in it, no carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, or flavor. The only thing that was palatable was the cashew chicken, but even that was packed with so much zucchini you could barely find the other ingredients and the cashews were old and mushy. Last time we eat there!!! Beware read more

Stopped by for an after work dinner. This is a very typical Chinese American restaurant that looks a bit dated, but with cheap food and huge portions. General tso's combo plate: C+ It was a huge mound of food so I'm happy about that, it's a good value for the price. The food was on the greasy side. The chicken wasn't really crispy because of how much sauce it's drenched in. The chow mein and fried rice were just okay in terms of taste. read more

We come here all the time for Chinese Food. And for some reason today was not the day. I'm surprised they cook the food like this and packed the way it was. It was a pick up order and once food got home, came to this surprised. super confused on what happen. New cook? New owners?? Compared photos to owners on Yelp.. Very disappointing and especially spending $135 dollars. Literally everything was dark. We tossed the food read more

Dragon Palace - Orange Chicken Combo （橙鸡） - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

The best Chinese food I've had in years. Excellent quality taste is 10/10 and the staff are so nice!

For a little place that's is a hole in the wall it was DELICIOUS. it was empty and the inside is t that amazing of environment but sometimes those are the best restaurants. My husband got the General Chicken combination plate and we shared the cream cheese (no crab) wontons, war wonton soup and I had some jalapeno chicken. The war wonton soup is probably the best I've ever had. Flavorful and amazing. The wontons were light and crisp, not thick wrapping like some places. The rice and chow mein were also so full of flavor. The good came out so fast too I was impressed. I'm gonna be coming here for my soup fix from now on. And this place was SO AFFORDABLE for the portion sizes and quality read more

Food is amazing and portions are huge. Took a while to find a consitent restaurant to go to that always serves chow mein the same delicious taste everytime. I am not a big fried rice fan, but it look like it had too much soy sauce. The only thing I don't like is the overflowing sauce from the plates making a mess all over the place. Definitely coming back! read more

I love the price here for good food. I order Mongolian beef and chicken fried rice. The flavor was good. Although the beef meat still has a little chewy. Not as tender. The service was fast and polite. read more

This place is a bit of a hidden gem and can easily be overlooked in an older shopping center off Northgate, but don't give it a second thought. Give them a try, you won't regret it! I've had this place many times over the years, and it wasn't until recently a friend brought me back. It's one of the only good chinese restaurants left in Sacramento! Let me give the compliment that even after years the quality and taste is still amazing and hasn't changed. The hot n sour soup is amazing especially if you're feeling under the weather. The jalapeño chicken is my ultimate favorite chicken dish. The sesame chicken isn't bad. But there's just something about the sauce on the jalapeño chicken that keeps you coming back for more. This is also one of the only chinese restaurants that still allows indoor dining after COVID. The small indoor seating leaves a warm family feel and the staff is very friendly. The food is always hot and fresh and ready by the time I arrive. Large portions too! read more

After passing by many days finally decided to go in and try it out, and I'm glad i did! Solid Chinese food for a good price! The food was flavorful and they gave a decent amount. We had the black pepper chicken combo plate with chow mein and rice, and the mongolian beef with fried rice lunch special. Both were fantastic. We'll be eating here again for sure. read more

We would always go here food has always been good, went today they said no combo plates available but I could order everything separately? I get home and my "orange chicken" and "jalapeno chicken" is just fried batter no chicken.. really disappointed. I paid $50 for chicken not fried batter with sauce. read more

I had take out. The food was good plenty of it and quick delivery. I was quite pleased with everything

The food here was awful! It was way over seasoned and had so much chili in it you couldn't eat it.

Chow Mein was on the mark and the fried chicken wings was excellent. Received my order in 25 minutes after I placed the order. Definitely will reorder again next week. read more

Had the whole family in town for thanksgiving, so of course the night before we ordered up Chinese food! I heard it's under new owners so I got nervous, but they came through! Everything we ordered had to be gluten free due to some allergy in the family, but everything was top notch. We went around the table and asked what everyone's favorite dish was and everyone gave a different answer. We batted 1,000 tonight on the ordering. We got the house combo chow fun, broccoli beef, kung pao chicken, orange chicken, sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, generals pork, and honey walnut shrimp. Everything was phenomenal and everyone was happy! I'm glad the new owners are doing great! My favorite was the chow fun. It had chicken, beef, shrimp, and bbq pork in it and was unbelievable. read more

Very delicious, cheap Chinese takeout. I'm talking the same price point as a certain panda bear restaurant but with 2x the food and 10x the flavor. Food got out fast and the wait staff is really nice. Don't sleep on this place!! Tender meat, perfect spices, and generous portions. read more

Okay, so this is my first time writing a review on here and here's what I have to say. My first time trying this place out with some coworkers and I ordered the general chicken combo plate. When I chewed into the "chicken" it hardly taste or feel like chicken. The texture is soo off and the inside looks like a imitation of chicken only, probably mixed with gluten and soy. It doesn't have the stinginess that regular chicken has and it also has a very gelatin like texture. It's overpowered by the oil and sauce so it makes it a little harder to tell but definitely the texture isn't just chicken and the fried rice has no flavor just extra oily. You can definitely find better Chinese food elsewhere. read more

Dragon Palace - Hard to tell from here but definitely not real chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Order by Uber Eats, I order Honey Walnut Shrimp Combo it comes with Chicken Chow Mien and Fried Rice also Shumai. Sorry to say, the Fried rice is really terrible only rice with soy sauce, nothing else ..and the Honey Walnut don't even taste good. The Shumai also not tasty. Conclusion, Won't order from this restaurant anymore, terrible, just wasting money !! read more

I love their combination plates here! I tried the orange chicken with chow mein and the kung pao chicken with fried rice which were both amazing. Portions are very generous here! I liked that the chicken wasn't too heavy on the sauce, and they use egg noodles for the chow mein. The meals come with spring rolls which are piping hot. Staff are very friendly and attentive here. read more

Literally the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Gave us no rice on our delivery order. Mongolian beef tasted like a flavorless gelatinous blob of teriyaki sauce. Super gross. I hope this place goes out of business simply for the good of the public read more

Great quality food for an incredibly reasonable price! Service is always friendly and comes with a smile. Would absolutely recommend.

Authentic as it comes, I love this place first time trying it. Service was good super sweet. It's kind of hot in there, but I took my food to go if they had air condition I would probably stay and eat, but otherwise I love this place. We need more places like this, one thing to remember, though is the sweet-and-sour pork is identical to the perkin pork. read more

The sweet and sour pork is so yummy!!! I got door dash to bring me a combo and got a side of sweet and sour pork and it was so good! I'll be back for more of it again soon. read more

If third time is a charm, the charm today was not made of authentic Jade. This is my 3rd update/review of this place. Ever since my last two reviews, I usually stick to "plain rice" if I order from here, because it is the most simple and consistent basic food. Basic is safe when I don't want a repeat of not so yummy memories. Literally, I would order and ONLY order a side of plain/steamed rice. Tonight I decided to treat myself, and order a combo plate. I ordered Mongolian Beef, and instead of pork fried rice, I asked for steamed rice. It comes with chicken chow-mein, one egg roll, plastic fork, and fortune cookie. I got Mongolian Chicken (not Beef like I asked for), the darkest Chicken chow-mein I've ever seen, and the plastic fork with one egg roll and fortune cookie. I called them. The guy who took my order, immediately minimized the mistake: "Well they cost the same, but chicken/beef I guess is just a matter of preference really". No kidding, is that the reason there's a menu?! After he minimized the mistake they made, he apologized and asked "well is it ok this time?" Most places are first going to say "bring it back!" Not this place. I said "yes" because I don't want to drive back, spend more time explaining, or giving a 4th chance. Minimize, apologize, ask the customer to be ok with the mistake. It sounds good, in theory. If you are someone that had no preference. And goodness, the chow-mein, was made with way too much Hoisin sauce already mixed in. After three small plastic forkfuls, I couldn't stomach any of it. About 80% of my meal went right into the trash. The best part? The steamed rice. PRO TIP: instead of spending +$10 for the steamed rice, just order it by itself as a side. read more

Dragon Palace - Have you ever seen chicken chow-mein treated so badly? This is how it was cooked, I did not add any sauce to it. - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Solid place and well priced but will need to give them another try. One combo plate and an order of the tomato beef chow Mein and Scallion beef. Scallion beef was good and chow mein was okay but combo plate didn't really seem fresh due to a wait. Can't rule them out and definitely interested in some other menu items so this is just a place holder til next time. read more

So I was really not expecting anything other than to grab a bite. But here I am telling myself I need to give this place props for making great tasting Chinese food. My background: grew up in the SF Bay Area. And people in the know knows that this is the melting pot for Chinese folks from all walks of life. I mean we got the noodle houses, the mom and pops 10 item menus, the roast duck spots, the fancy dim sum hot spots, the wedding banquets, the HK hipster places, the endless bolo bao and egg tart bakeries.,,, So of course I didn't expect to be quite surprised that my taste buds gave the happy dance while chowing down some good ole dry-fry beef chow fun and half of a roasted duck with two large order of steam rice. Look, I judge a place by their rice, cuz everything starts with the rice and ends with the rice. So if you don't care about Joe rice? You ain't care bout yo food. It's too bad I did Postmates delivery instead of dining in, but I did had the chance to speak with someone on the phone before I placed the order, and he sounded like he might have been the owner. All in all, fantastic service, perfect packaging, and absolutely authentic fantabulous Chinese food that I'm use to eating back in the yay. (Sorry no photos. Can't blame me tho). read more

Great food and price is right. Was on a search with Mapo tofu with minced pork & fish maw soup with crab! Bingo!!!! They also have roast duck & Peking duck. How cool is that? They offer family dinner as well for an amazing price. I would've given this place a 5 star if their fish maw soup had chunkier fish naw pieces. I can barely taste or see it in the soup, though it is very flavorful. They also give you 5% off if you check in with YELP. read more
