Food was very fresh and generous. Service is always outstanding. Ambience is pleasant and quiet. We had the lunch special. Good value read more

Went in today for lunch specials. Great variety and prices were between $11.95-$14.95 for lunch depending what type you got. It's a combo plate and comes with half vegetable chow mein, half pork fried rice, cup of egg flower soup and cream cheese wonton appetizer (dine in only for soup & appetizer). Service was quick and meal was prepared fresh and hot. It tasted so good I forgot to take pictures! Definitely will be back again and try something else off their menu! Thank you! read more

Food has always been fresh and the servings given we always have leftovers. We have eaten there and had food delivered and neither way has ever disappointed us. read more

The service was nice. It is a small place (which is not a big deal, I've been to plenty) and looks like they've been around for awhile and some locals seem to be regulars. The food wasn't really for me or my palate. The sweet and sour chicken was overcooked and didn't seem really fresh to me. The chow mien and fried rice was good but the meats in it also didn't seem fresh. I feel like this place is really used to their way of cooking that they haven't really modernized it. Meaning they're used to cooking it the same way for over a decade so they've kept it that way. It may work some people but wasn't for me. Overall great service. read more

Take out order. SS Tofu, chow mein, ragoons and mushu vegetables. Fried foods tasted off... old frying oil? Mushu vegs were good. Really wanted this to be good because of the location. read more

Always good food!! I only really get the lunch special. But once got a family style dinner and it was a really large amount of food. The staff are really nice and the food comes out quick! read more

Golden Palace - LI9. General Chicken Or Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

This restaurant is by far not four stars. I spent over $60 on four different dinner plates the sweet-and-sour chicken was not fully cooked not enough sauce, the chow mein has no vegetables or flavor and their rice has no vegetables and needs salt. Their food is very bland and you cannot compare this to silver dragon they need to reopen that place. I would've chosen panda express over this we will never come back here again read more

Ordered on Christmas Eve. Just overall not what I expected. Food was basically all the same. Every dish we ordered was not great. It was disappointing. read more

Been driving past this place for a while and finally stopped in. Almost looked closed, walked in, dead silent and not a soul to be found in the dining room. The nice lady came out and seated us.. Ordered food and watch a number of Togo orders come in a leave.. Had the house special show fun and the sweet and sour chicken. We were all blown away w the food, it was reeeaaallly good! Will definitely come back, wishing I came here a long time ago :) read more

I am really glad I decided to come here for lunch on our way back home. The food and service here was very good. We did not know that this is mainly a take-out kind of restaurant, however they did have indoor dining available. We were the only ones dining in for lunch and that was nice to have a quiet and peaceful lunch. I ordered their lunch special L10 which is chicken with fresh vegetables. My family members ordered L19 Tofu with vegetables and their lemon chicken. The soup of the day came out within minutes after the guy went into the kitchen. The soup was good and was nice and hot and not lukewarm. It had tofu and egg and some diced veggies. Was slightly on the bland side which is ok. Little dash of soy sauce fixes that. 5 minutes later the food came out. All the food was nice and hot. My food came out looking very nice. They give you 2 crispy won tons also. The vegetables were nice and cooked just right, not overcooked or anything. Chicken was good and the sauce tasted very good. Pork fried rice was good, but the chow mein was even better. All the other food we ordered also came out looking and tasting good. Best thing was the price. The price of their lunch menu gave the food great value for the money. I will be coming back next time I head up this way. No food pictures. I ate too much before realizing to take photos. read more

Golden Palace - Lunch special soup - Chinese Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

Hi-ya! So, I really enjoy Mongolian bbq--I don't eat as much as I used to, but still enjoy the selecting your food, and cooking in front of you process and environment. This location I've bookmarked, but never went there until recently. The pricing structure is just a little different from typical ayce (all you can eat) Mongolian bbqs. For one bowl it's only like a $2 difference from all you can eat. BUT if you do the 1 bowl only AND you can't finish it, they let you take the leftovers to go. HOWEVER if you order unlimited bowls then no "to go". Makes sense. Anyway, the meat, sauces and veggies are all reasonable. I only like eating lamb, so their lamb wasn't really memorable, but not bad. Overall good and environment was good, clean and fast. They are a smaller location and we went during lunch. They were really busy, but again seating, eating and the paying was fast. They have dessert also--soft serve ice cream. Kids loved that part and I got to try another Mongolian bbq. Anyway good if you want a less oily Mongolian bbq feeling atmosphere. Overall 4 stars for cleanliness, service, but I say 3 star for the lamb. Check it out, still a nice find in Folsom. read more

Wontons were delicious, BUT hardly any filling. Perhaps 1/2 tsp. Stir fried shrimp rice was excellent. Vegetable tempura was mostly broccoli, but it was good (even though we hate broccoli! ). Kung Pao Chicken was excellent. We will be returning customers! read more

This place is amazing! My family has been searching for a reasonably priced Chinese restaurant near Rancho Cordova for the last year or so since we moved from Roseville and this place hit EVERY. SINGLE. CHECKMARK. The food was flavorful, the woman on the phone was attentative, and again everything was reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Best Chinese food in the area! The place is unassuming, and the seating and interior are somewhat dated, but do not be fooled by this; the food is fresh and tasty, and the service is fantastic. Our server Alice, we knew from 15-20 years ago when we frequented Wonderful Chinese in Citrus Heights. (we do not go there anymore) She is about as pleasant and competent as they come. The lunch special is only $11.95, and the portions are huge. We always have leftovers. Give it a try! read more

Came here upon a recommendation that it was the go-to place for good Chinese food. Boy, that was an overstatement. While the food was okay at best, it wasn't the worst I've had. It fell a little flat on flavor and something about it tasted prepackaged. Though it was fresh and portions were large, it just lacked anything special or even flavorful. Spices fell flat. The cream cheese wontons were filled minimally (which made me exceptionally sad because they were actually the best part of the meal but had barely any filling). The service was bare minimum. I know it may be cultural, but our server was super short with us and seemed uninterested. Other than delivering our food and the check, she offered nothing helpful and wasn't welcoming to questions about menu items. Overall, I've been on a search in this area for really delicious non franchise Chinese food and this dude not make the cut. Likely will not be back unless I'm that desperate. read more

3 years later, I gave it another go. Should've gone to Panda. I had the General D9. General Chicken (Special Combination). Very disappointing. The veggies in the General's was raw or barely cooked. I don't need them mushy, but I don't want them crunchier than a potato chip. The big complaint is that the entire plate had no flavor. It actually tasted like the General Chicken out of a freezer bag at WinCo. The noodles were starchy. read more

It was good... exactly what you thought it should taste like. No frills. Big portions though

This is a great Chinese food restaurant! Fast and friendly service plus our food is always delicious! One of our go to spots!

Restaurant, employees, & food are all VERY GOOD! I ordered using DoorDash, and the driver completely ruined my order; the employee at the restaurant told him to wait a minute for the food, and he instead just grabbed a huge box with WAY more food than I ordered & left. He ignored my delivery instructions so I didn't even notice the food was here for several minutes after delivery. When I realized it was over $100 worth of someone else's food, I called the restaurant, who were incredibly kind & immediately knew who I was / what happened. I ended up just driving to pick up my actual order & brought back the other food, and they gave me free krab rangoons with my order for the trouble. Will 100% come back here for food. Very good! Will 100% NEVER use DoorDash again; they are terrible. read more

Golden Palace - Chinese Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

I've been to this place a couple of times. Every time, I want to go back there again. I really like such places. The staff responded to my request very quickly. The atmosphere is suitable. We really liked the food. read more

Let me preface by saying that I've lived in San Francisco Bay for 20 years, and have had some of the best asian food this country has to offer. I'm not a snob, but I do know what good quality food tastes like. This doesn't mean the food here is bad, it's just that my taste buds are a bit different, and so this review reflects my tastes. This restaurant had wonderful customer service. The order was completed quickly, and the portions of food are big. The cost is about average, not cheap, but not too expensive. The food itself was underwhelming. I may have ordered the wrong items, I don't know, but I tried the items that were most recommended by other Yelpers as well as the kind woman who I called to place the order. The ChowMein was mostly greasy, without a lot of flavor. The green beans were also very greasy. The flavors just felt salty, not really robust or rich in flavor. I'll be trying out a few other places. read more

We have ordered from here a few times and everything is delicious. I finally found a Chinese place that reminds me of Chicago. I'll never go anywhere else for Chinese food. The people are very nice as well which is always an added bonus. read more

Great Chinese food and very fast service. Our go-to favorite right now for Chinese takeout.

Great food for a decent price! I always visit Golden Palace when I am in the area and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend their Szechuan Chow Mein with skinny noodles and Honey Walnut Shrimp. read more

Excellent fresh food, friendly, very reasonable prices. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Wow I'm impressed. I usually dont go out for Chinese food bc I can make it at home. We had a group of 5, hungry from kayaking and wanted to get the most out of our monies. Very high quality menus and lots of options to choose from. We decided to do Option B - Family style and MAHH GAWDD there was so much food. Food wise, the temperature of all the foods that arrived was extra hot because I was constantly blowing before each bite but it also made the dishes that much more tasteyyy! I really enjoyed the soup with egg, corn, and tofu bits-- wished I had a bigger bowl of this. Food wise, everything was tasteyyy (must be that MSG tho!) And cooked very well. I like the fact that there was variety and room for sharing because I LIKE SHARING! Just one star knocked off for customer service but will definitely come back again! read more

See all

My friends and I came here after Kayaking at the Aquatic Center. We were ready for some good food as we were all hungry from rowing around the lake. When we came in, we were greeted and seated right away. The service was good and out orders were taken right away (enough time for us to look through the menu and make decisions). After taking our orders, we were served water and were asked if we wanted other drinks besides water. We ordered a family style (option B). IT. WAS. BOMB! The food was perfect - warm and awesome flavor! Not too salty, not too sweet. We absolutely LOVED the chow mein with shrimp and the cream cheese fried wontons. I would have given it a 5 star, but, towards the end, the server got confused and did not swipe my card for payment. Then, practically said that we didn't give her our card to pay. That was something minor. The place is still good! We will most definitely go back! read more

Golden Palace - menu - Chinese Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

Delicious. Love the portion sizes. We order the dinner for 2 and got about 4 or more meals out of it

Ever since the Pandemic, the Golden Palace has ceased to provide what I consider to be "good food." We ordered our final helping from here just today. The pan fried chow mein was simply too hard to eat. The chicken had a distinctly barbecued flavor - which wasn't expected. The pot stickers were tasteless. And the spring rolls were more like winter rolls with cabbage so hard and stringy it must have been grown last year. This is a real unfortunate turn of events as the Palace, at one time, was a go-to place for us. Sorry to say, we won't be returning. read more

The meat is literally gray and I'm not sure what animal it's from. I ordered the Orange Beef. read more

Golden Palace - Dinner D6 - Shrimp with Lobster sauce. - Chinese Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

Good value in a time of shrink-flation. Our go to meal is House fried rice, house chow mein, general chicken and honey walnut prawns with pot stickers to start. Take out only now but that order makes a family meal plus about 4 individual lunches! read more

My boyfriend and I LOVE Golden Palace! I'll be honest and say that we used to go to Silver Dragon prior to finding Golden Palace, and, ever since SD got to it's new location, it hasn't been the same and isn't good anymore. Thankfully we found Golden Palace! EVERYTHING we've tried from here has been delicious! When you're craving good chow mein, this is the spot! I also love that the beef in their broccoli beef dish isn't super fatty and it's thinly cut! The sauce is AMAZING. Their sweet n sour chicken is also really good and we like that the sauce is on the side so you can add as little or much as you want! The potstickers have such a unique flavor compared to others I've had, they're so good! And all the tempura veggies are crispy and the outside is never soggy, even with them only doing "to go" orders right now. We'd highly suggest this place! It's traditional, quality, and quantity!! read more

Not many authentic Chinese restaurants around, they are super fast and the food is amazing. The shrimp fried rice is to die for. Plus the lady at the counter gave me a box of white rice for free, or like a dollar or something. To be honest, skip panda express because their food is cold and they're always out of what you want. These guys make it on the spot and their food is legit. I called an order inAnd by the time I got there it was ready. Mind you I live like 15 to 20 minutes away. I was impressed and will continue to be a customer read more

Pretty good. Local Chinese places are kind of dime a dozen. Sometimes you find one that wows you. This wasn't it, but I enjoyed my lunch.

Food is excellent! Get it hot eat immediately for best experience. Best Chicken Chow Mein ever. read more

Decided to give this place multiple tries due to it being so close to me, but I have to say I was disappointed.. ordered takeout on a Friday night and boy was it unappetizing.. it's a old run down location black stains follow your steps in and into the kitchen, I can see why it's to go only. We got pork fried rice, Mongolian beef and chicken chow fun. The rice was dry and had no veggies, the beef was tough and there was more onions than anything I'd see and the noodle for the chow fun were dry as well? It all tasted old.. This is the third time we've tried.. we should've got the memo when there was a hair in it last time.. don't recommend! read more

Awesome service and great food! Tons of food for the price! We've been ordering for pick up from here for years!
