    Omakase Combo!! Must try!!!
    Monica L.

    Absolutly love this place! The sushi is always fresh, with seafood delivered straight from Japan. The Crystal Roll is my favorite--so delicious and well-balanced. If you're looking for something special, the Omakase Combo is a must-try. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is clean and comfortable. A go-to spot for high-quality sushi--highly recommend!

    水煮鱼  spicy fish
    Stephanie T.

    I am a big fan of the spicy fish,(水煮鱼)my only complaint is that it's a bit salty. You can really taste the flavor of the peppercorns cooked into the soup. Green beans are well cooked. I also think they are a little on the salty side, but I prefer the green beans like this. I generally think it is hard to go wrong with walnut shrimp. The batter is especially even. The price is maybe on the high end. For example, walnut shrimp is over 20 bucks. I think it's fine, and maybe the most consistent Chinese / Japanese place in moraga. Service is quick and easy.

    Vegetable Chow Fun
    Susan A.

    Stopped by while visiting my daughter in Moraga, CA. The staff greeted us as soon as we walked in. It was late (within an hour before closing), so it wasn't crowded. We ordered the honey walnut prawns, spicy eggplant (we added tofu), vegetable chow fun & steamed rice. They were so nice, they gave us an order of California rolls on the house! The food was delicious! I would go there to eat everyday if I could! Portions were large, so we ended up taking left overs home. My daughter placed a take out order of sweet & sour pork for her other half. He enjoyed the pork along with the left overs when he got home. Service was great & our waitress was very attentive. Can't wait to go back again!

    Tempura Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll
    Blu M.

    Pretty good sushi spot in Moraga! My friend and I were craving sushi and decided to come here, was not disappointed! Service was great, everyone was so attentive and kind the entire dinner. Also the vibe of the place is nice and simple, good place to eat dinner. We got crab cheese puffs, miso soup, and a roll each for dinner. Crab cheese puffs: 5/5 - very tasty! A go-to appetizer because they're simple and tasty. These were great, fried well and had a delicious flavor. Totally get these if you don't know what appetizer to start with! Miso soup: 4/5 - this soup was good but a little bit too salty. I like that they had real shaved bonito in the soup, added a lot of flavor but it may have made it slightly too salty. Wish there was a little more tofu but overall really good too! Spicy Tuna Roll: 4/5 - really good! Quality was great and the tuna was very flavorful. Rice was not dry and the roll was balanced. I do wish it was a little bit bigger but it's ok since we ordered other food too! Tempura Roll: 5/5 - this is the roll my friend god, she really liked it! Shrimp was tasty and fried well and she said it was very satisfying and that she would order it again. Overall our experience at golden palace was great! We definitely want to return when I visit her again. The menu had a lot of Chinese dishes so that will be what we tackle next! If you're looking for some tasty food in Moraga please check this place out :)

    5 - Stars "Plus" for Owner Jay's Clarification on serving the most delicious tasting soup.., Read Jay's Professional & Courteous reply to recent response to a patron! I love Golden Palace and met Owner Jay on my 1st visit where I recognized his passion for service and quality. Delicious food (Japanese and Chinese regions) Those of us who are in the business quickly retrain staff to ensure our 5 -Star reputation is maintained. Naysayers may not realize they inadvertently take down businesses due to their own agenda. Look how customer focused Owner Jay is... he did not have to provide his number but as a True Leader in the LaMoRinda community, he did and also provided a Meal credit. Very classy indeed!

    Been going to this neighborhood sushi place for years, they just recently added omakase menu - tried today, it was delicious and super fresh fish/seafood from Japan. So excited to be able to have omakase near home.

    Just the hole in the wall Chinese we were looking for. No frills no drama, this place hit the spot…read morefor good Chinese. Not greasy, flavorful, China Palace is sure to have what you're looking for. The only "disappointing" thing was that they did not have the appetizer sampler available anymore and the calamari was not available at the time that we ordered. But not a super big deal. When I went in to pick up, they were just direct and straight to the point, which I think is what some people confused with being "rude" in some of the other reviews I read. But in reality, its just straight up. They did seem very grateful that I came in and ordered, so I will be back when that craving strikes again.

    Not a good feeling :(…read more Ordered an assortment of dinner plates, chowmein was tasty, chicken and beef plates were ok. The service though... let's just say I can tell why everyone was taking their food to go. We were literally the only ones in the place besides the employees sitting in the dining area when we walked in. Greeted by a yell from across the room, "how many." The whole dinner, In our opinion we felt as if we were being yelled at, the hospitality here is well below average and definitely not inviting at all. Short high toned responses. We felt as if the employees were upset we decided to dine in :( Mind you it's our first experience here, apologies we're not aware of the unspoken code... eat here you won't get treated kindly, facts. The gratuity will be added though :)

We didn't have to wait for a table, but it was quite full for how many tables they have! They have both a good amount of outdoor seating and indoor seating. Ordering is done via a QR code on each table. I want to start out by saying that we were all hungry after a hike, so between the three of us, we shared: 1) Pig Ears & Cucumber w/ Chili Sauce: I love the crunchy, gelatinous feeling of biting into these. They're kinda refreshing since it's usually served cold with cucumber. I think they give a pretty good portion for this appetizer dish. 2) String Beans Sauteed w/ Garlic Sauce: Lots of garlic pieces mixed into these string beans! The beans weren't the most fresh. There were some stringy ones, but portion was also pretty generous and I usually like having these when I have dumplings! It's a nice pairing. 3) Shrimp, Egg, Chive Pockets (2): These are huge pockets and packed full of ingredients. The skin was thin, crispy, but just a tad oily. I love that they added so much chives into it. Although the skin fell apart pretty quickly - either because it's too heavy with ingredients or the ingredients were wet - I appreciate the thin skin more than a thick skin. 4) Juicy Pan-fried Pork Buns: These were my favorite. I haven't found a really good one around the Bay until I tried these. Usually the buns I get are either too thick-skinned, doesn't have good bun to pork ratio, or dry. These on the other hand, were pretty close to perfect. There was a lot of juice inside - I would say as much as the XLBs. The skin was still pretty thin on the top and not too dough-y on the bottom, but also had a nice crunch from being pan-fried. And the pork was nicely flavored! I would come back just for these. 5) Pork Xiao Long Bao: Also pretty good! Skin was thin and held a lot of juice! Pork was nicely flavored as well! But portion was smaller than most other restaurants I've been to. 6) Dumplings with Shrimp, Pork & Chive (10): These were also one of my favorites. They have their skin perfected - not too thick. Filling wise, this is one of my top go-to for filling, and it's hard to resist a good dumpling! We walked out with our bellies full and feeling great. I can't say there were much interaction with the servers since they were so busy, but would come back when I'm around the area!

Ordered a few dim sum items but ordered off their main entree menu which we haven't done before. Here's what we ordered: Siu Mai - it was delish! This isn't always created equally. lol some places it almost looks like they served frozen store bought siu Mai, but this was legit! Honey walnut prawns - I'm obsessed with this!! It was perfectly cooked! Nice and crispy on the outside and the shrimp fully cooked on the inside. Fried shrimp dumpling: this is my go to at most dumplings sum places. It was delish! Chicken Crispy Noodles: this is the star of the show for me. Their pan fried noodles are perfect. It reminds me of a place I used to go to in sf when I was in middle school which is no longer there. The taste, texture of the noodles brought back memories! I know there are many iterations of pan fried Hong Kong style noodles, but those are also not created equally. This is a winner! Mapo tofu: this is hubby's favorite. We really enjoyed it and will definitely get it again! I'm not going to list everything we got, but I did put the ones that are my favs. Everything we ordered was amazing. What helps too is that the ladies that work here are all so friendly! We move a place with great service. This will now be our go to place!
