It took a few minutes for our server to arrive so we decided to order everything while we had his attention. We watched food die on the counter. It seemed no one knew what they were doing. Food comes out as it's ready so my parents ate before my husband and I did. I feel like restaurant was over-lit. Will probably not return unless for takeaway. The soup dumplings were very tasty! They were eaten before pictures were taken. We all thought the food was really good, too.

Unfortunately, the hostesses have consistently been very off-putting. There's rarely an actual greeting, and they often come across as though they wish you hadn't shown up at all. Instead of a friendly "Hi! How many?" or "Right this way!" it's usually just a blank stare and, occasionally, a slight eye roll. It's honestly very odd and can be a bit uncomfortable. That said, the food and the rest of the staff have always been great, which is why I continue to come back. I just wish the initial welcome was a little warmer and more inviting!

Good Food, Great service. Upon first walking in we were greeted by our hostess / waitress who had our drinks out to us right away. She was very attentive and polite. The food bar was full and fresh of your normal Chinese buffet menu items. It seemed slightly pricey but well worth clean polite atmosphere. read more

We round out every trip by going to China Palace. The food is wonderful! Great to solve your Chinese food fix. There's is wide variety of entrees and sides. The honey chicken and broccoli beef are wonderful. The rice and noodle sides are great base to building your customized plate of glory. Bring the family - grandma, kids and that crazy uncle. They will all have a great time and for sure get 2+ plates of food. Dessert Bonus: they have ice cream self serve with 4 different flavors - chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and my fav butter pecan!

Well I treated a friend to a meal on the 25th day of July and purchased 2 Fish plates that come with 4 pieces of fish your choice of sides specific sides or substitutes are added with an upcharge not a problem here is where I am upset and not pleased with what I received! The order went from; 1. $11.00 and some change + tax now to $18 + tax 2. This Fish that is said to be Catfish is SWAI (if eaten fresh and hot you won't know if your not a avid fisherman or fish eater) 3. The Filets are cut in four pieces ( 1 filet cut into 4 strips) and has been done this way for years and the price continues to rise and (it's not Farm Raised Catfish) Unbelievable! Your sold a 4 piece for $18 +tax but you are actually getting 1 Filet I have recommended the Restaurant to many people family and friends because they were the only place in town serving REAL CATFISH FILETS but not anymore!

Of course I had to stop in for lunch - it seemed like the most legit lunch place in town. You can run down the bar area and select a plate from what is available or order from the menu. I was in a hurry so I did the two fried catfish pieces, pea salad and fried okra. Then asked for some banana pudding. I was then told I could choose a bread side - cornbread of course!! The gal offered me a side of tarter sauce and a drink. I got a MOUNTAIN of food for $10. This place was packed with folks so I knew the food had to be decent. Catfish can be real hit or miss. This catfish was perfectly flaky and crispy without the "dirty fish taste." The pea salad was bomb, right amount of sauce holding it together. My okra was not fresh - it was a bit soft and chewy. I want to know where on this planet I can buy a gallon of the target sauce - it had a slight tent to it like they added some spices. Definitely not your average tarter sauce, they put some effort into it. Cornbread was slightly sweaty and juicy corn bits instead. Top this off with some banana pudding and roll me out like a hot potato! Restrooms are a huge deal for me. This place has an immaculate bathroom. A little hole in the wall place would give the impression the bathroom might not be the cleanest, but it was surprisingly clean. Gives me faith they take the same care and effort into the rest of the place.
