It's so crazy this place. The menus are falling apart, there is one guy working in flip flops at the front, the tables are filthy, white pepper always empty, a guy who looks like he is the dishwasher taking orders and it's always empty but my son and I keep coming back and order the same thing every time and it's great. One small hot and sour soup one small wonton soup, the house fish fillet and rice. Always good. I wouldn't want to look in the kitchen though! read more

The food was fantastic. In spite of the restaurant being very busy, the servers handled the crowd great. Not much to say. We had a party of 6 and we decided to eat family style. Great company, great service (quick and easy). read more

Grandview Palace - Menu glance - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

Grandview has become our "go to" family restaurant. We discovered this place about four months ago while wandering through Pasadena and haven't regretted its since. Initially it was only me and my wife then we started bringing the kids. We enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant as its not too busy and the waiters are very efficient. Even though we are still fairly new, visited about five times so far, the main server actually remembers my family and make it a point to stop by and say hello to our table even if he is not serving us. read more

The previous reviews were spot on. Weirdly fast service with food that was price-point perfect.

I like to not only eat food not prepared in anger, but rather like not being around it. I have been here twice for work, he is a very angry restaurateur. I will never return to GrandView, the only "GrandView" is the front door. It's amazing to me a customer would return here? Good luck! read more

Our first time at Grandview & checked yelp with great reviews. My husband and I love to try & support small businesses, nice big open place needs to be update & more modernized. The waiter was so nice and helpful. Food was fresh, tasty and perfect portion to share. read more

Guys I use to go to the grand view on fair oaks , then the one on Colorado both in Pasadena. Then this one came on Raymond and I recognized some of the same staff. I came here often with he fambam. Then I stopped becuz of covid , then I ordered a couple times a year for delivery. Quality had gone down tremendously like what the heck is happening. I ordered delivery last week, and I had to pretend the food was good because my hubby spent 100$ for our family of four. And he had a tuff day so I didn't want to make it worse So we get our egg drop soup that taste like straight up cooking oil and very orange in color, I knew from the look nope ain't right. I taste my wonton soup which is my favorite from here , nope gross. No flavor and the cabbage taste old. The soups taste days old . We try the orange chicken, mushy and taste old. Not even one chili inside the dish which is their trademark for us. Then We try the combination lo mein, old soggy shrimp weird taste. Then I try my cashew chicken, Guys the cashews also like soft and soggy tasting. Not crisp like a damn cashew. I get these dishes allllll the time guys. Then you won't believe this, the crispy noodle for the soups, stale as hell. Oh and then the jig was up everyone spit the food out and we threw it out in the dumpster so we didn't have to smell it. We got grossed out. Even the fortune cookies told lies. Never again , I promised myself nope don't do it read more

This place is a mere shadow of what it was before. I would give it negative 5 stars if I could. I have lived in Pasadena for over 10 years and ordered from this restaurant for almost as long. In its glory days, I used to salivate when I think about their walnut shrimp and salt and pepper pork chops. Even though the food portion and flavor have gone down in the past few years, I have always ordered just because they are a staple in my life. But today was my last order for all foreseeable future. Why? Because no matter how a restaurant is, if the owner can't at least listen to his customers and get the customer service part right in this day and age, good luck surviving the pandemic and your new competitors with deeper pockets. I called today to tell the owner that the way they packed the order was faulty- putting a heavy box on top of a thin plastic cover of the aluminum container for the tofu HOTPOT caused the whole thing to crack, all the sauce soak through the bag, leak all over my leg when I tried to salvage it, and sauce all over the floor of my apartment building lobby. A normal response from a business that cares a hoot about their customers would be, "I am so sorry that happened! How can we make it right for you? Or maybe we can send a replacement?" NOPE...not his response: OWNER: "I don't want hear your complaining. I want to work on the solution. What's the solution?" ME:"It's your business, how would you handle a situation like this?" OWNER: "You called me. You tell me solution. I want to work on solution." Umm...yeah, the solution is when you are not listening and don't give a flying fuck about your repeat customers, they go somewhere else for food. Peace out. read more

Came to this place with family and we were all disappointed. The place was empty , should of seen it as a sign. It looked outdated and worn out. Ordered the appetizer platter and it looked like it was re cooked and refried more than once and tasted old for 17dollars? . The food we ordered was not much better. Things looked re heated and not fresh at all. I am sorry but i would not recommend this place at all and would not return here . I really don't like writing bad reviews but i had to tell the next person read more

5 star service. Typical Chinese food. Good and greasy. Portions are big. Veggie lo mein, walnut shrimp and veggie egg rolls were all good. Negative was the noodles felt a little undercooked. read more

Grandview Palace - Veggie egg (4 Piece), veggie lo mein and walnut shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

Decided to order here at the beginning of quarantine because they offered free delivery. I got their orange peel chicken and beef chow fun. Both were flavorful (tad greasy) and worth the price. Since then I've order a handful more times. I tried their other stuff (wonton soup, veggies plates, ragoons, sweet and sour variations) but I still recommend my first order over anything else. I wasn't going to make a review, but today, they had messed up my order and were happy to refund me for the wrong dish. I recommend trying their orange peel chicken and beef chow fun. Fast delivery; Friendly service! read more

Poor quality food, rude service. I was coming here a few times a until I had a bad experience with one staff person after I pointed out that part of my order was spoiled. I guess they don't want to keep the little number of customers they have. read more

Very tasty Chinese food. I ordered delivery because I didn't feel like going anywhere so I tried this spot. This was a great choice. I ordered the broccoli beef and the sweet and sour port and it was so good. Best part was that the sauce was on the side. Also, being that this restaurant is in Glendale my food got here warm. Not bad at all. I think I just replaced my other local Chinese restaurant. read more

This place is great! Always fast and high quality. Friendly staff. Great flavors and portion. Typically get the kung pao chicken or combo. Broccoli beef good and orange chicken good too read more

my family and I used to love this restaurant, the food was always delicious. Its also the only restaurant that I know of that has Kung Poa Green beans on the menu and it was always good. So last Saturday afternoon we were going out to celebrate birthdays and I chose this restaurant. We arrived mid afternoon and the lights in the restaurant were not on, so it was dark inside. There was only one person inside eating. I had to ask the only person who was a visible staff member, if he could turn on the lights. there were 6 of us and we sat at a table and he started to put down utensils and eventually gave us 2 menus although there was 6 of us. Since the restaurant appeared closed I asked if there was anyone in the kitchen to cook. He said yes, there was . About this time we started to feel as if we we causing a problem by being there and I said I had a bad vibe. He told us if we wanted to leave let him know, that his boss didn't like a lot of people in the restaurant and that he had work to do in the back. Well that was all we needed to hear, we left and wondered what this establishment really is because it certainly didnt seem like any restaurant I have ever been to read more

My friend and I went to eat on New year's day. The restaurant was very busy. We ordered a the combination appetizer platter, a hot pot, noodles and garlic eggplant. We really felt the food was standard fare. The dishes really didn't stand out. The hotpot ingredients were really over cooked, the seafood in the hot pot was mushy. The eggplant was in a heavy sauce that was overly salty. The only thing we ate completely was the appetizer platter and the noodles. I sent back the two dishes that were inedible. read more

I really wanted to like the food here since it has 4 stars but it is a two star in my book. The potstickers were decent but the sauce isn't the typical sauce that comes with it, it was on the sweet side. The wonton soup has no flavor, very bland and the chicken with broccoli was decent although it didn't taste exactly like chicken with broccoli and the fried rice was just rice, it didn't have any vegetables or meat in it. I won't be going back. read more

Really excellent. Friendly, warm service. We ordered several dishes and they brought them to the car. The food is clearly made with care. The broth is from a real chicken and the potsticker skins seem hand made!! Better than my mom's (Don't tell her...) Thanks, Grandview! read more

This place has became a regular for me Love their food and customer service is exceptional The ambiance is very nice and clean and very family oriented and prices are very good for the quality Love to support local businesses Very hard working man works in the front and he already knows me when I call for my order I'm glad they made it through with Covid read more

If I could give it 3 1/2 I would. The food was great. But the ripped plastic tablecloths were a bit gross and when people left, the staff just left most of the dirty dishes on the tables as well. It made me wonder what the cleanliness of the kitchen was like. But everything we ordered was tasty, not greasy, and not salty. I'd give it another try, maybe it was just an off night for staffing read more

Always been quality, Accurate, tasty, and most importantly, fast and hot. Excellent variety as well, for when you're feeling adventurous.

I was so happy to have a local Chinese spot. This place is a waste of space now. I typically ordered once a month to every two weeks. I've been receiving my order cold, oily and putrid. Literally not even edible. I don't have the highest standards for Chinese food because it is what it is... but I was just stunned beyond belief that I paid money for food I had to put straight in the trash. I always give my benefit of the doubt and called for a refund or compensation and was literally mocked by the person who answered the phone. I'm a customer paying for food to consume and it was just disgusting - I'm positive the person cooking it would not have eaten it themselves. If you're gonna serve rotten food at least be nice when I call to compromise somehow. Please don't make us sick :( read more

Been a longtime customer of Grandview but had never ordered take out before... well, that's all changed with the 'new order'. Ordered last week and boy, were we happy we did! Kung Pao Chicken with Green Beans, Veggie Lo Mein and Hot & Sour Soup were right on point. Buddah's Feast veggies fresh and tasty. Order was hot and fresh when we picked it up, with very generous portions - even remembered the hot mustard! We don't usually order take out from most restaurants due to the fact that more often than not the portions are smaller than those served when dining in. Not here! Had plenty for leftovers... will be ordering again tonight, and are very proud to support a family-run locat business during these tough times. Oh... and for 'Tina-who-looks-like-a-guy' from Corona: The fact that you are ordering Chinese from a place in Pasadena when you should be practicing proper shelter-in-place in Corona makes your lousy review pretty darn suspect... read more

Got take away this evening from Grandview Palace. I ordered the chicken pot stickers, Moo Shu with Pork, Sautéed Broccoli, Kung Pao Tofu. Everything tasted pretty good. I was pretty hungry so this all hit the spot. The sautéed broccoli was probably a little more cooked than I would like. I ordered my Kung Pao mild, which was on point. The Moo Shu was good, but I have had better. Pot stickers were also good. All in all, it was good. I used the eat24 app to order so got $2 off with the weekly promo code. The delivery came with fortune cookies which is quite a nice touch for take away. Apparently I need to "Be prepared to receive something special" lol read more

I'm sorry for the low rating but after my only experience at this establishment, I'm compelled to. Long story short: We made a last minute decision to eat here on new year's day as it was one of the few places still open. They were understaffed. We had 8 people. Waited for 15+ mins to be seated despite open tables that would easily accommodate. We all got to try each others' food. I was into it, everything was were pretty good. For some reason my food was the last to come. I have to be honest I didn't like mine as much as any of the others I'd tried. Then, there was a black hair in my food, and it wasn't mine or my gfs (I have light brown, my GF is a redhead). Upon announcing that to the staff, they took HALF of the entree off the bill. YES HALF. No apologies, no remorse. And I still had to pay for HALF of the meal that I found a hair in on the 3rd bite. Good thing the egg drop soup and pot stickers we're good enough for me to get full. NOTE TO RESTAURANT: hair is not an edible ingredient nor should it be used in food!!! read more

As many other reviewers have mentioned on here, the food here is good but the delivery service is terrible. They will take 1.5 to 2 hours to deliver. I only order delivery from this place if I happen to be sick and I've seen this pattern everytime (3 times). They are only 8 minutes away from me! Avoid delivery at all cost. They say it's free but it costs you a headache and hungry belly. Plus even when they will deliver it late to you guaranteed, the driver will still demand a tip. I would order from this place more often except for the terrible delivery time and even when I go pickup, the employees are rude and unappreciative of your business. Update: I never got my food delivered to me after waiting over an hour and a half. I called the restaurant twice and they said their delivery driver is too busy so I can come pick it up myself. I had this order cancelled to get a full refund and will never give them my business again! read more

Casual atmosphere is the only reason they're getting 4 stars. Take out MAGIC!Also, very kid friendly... like kids coloring pages around the cash register friendly. Plentiful servings, and the same recipes from their old location at Fair Oaks & California! So grateful to see them in this new location. Best Mu Shu ever. read more

Great service and food was very good. Chicken was tender and the eggrolld were crisp.

Grandview Palace is a Chinese restaurant that has been around Old Town Pasadena for a while, and I am surprised that it does not have more reviews. There is also a place called Grandview Palace 2 in Pasadena, and I assume it is the same ownership but to be honest I am not sure. Regardless, both Grandview Palaces have delicious food. Delivery and takeout orders are both fast and convenient, and the food always comes hot hot hot. I always have a pleasant experience at Grandview Palace :) Walnut shrimp is my favorite dish, but others say nice things about the orange peel chicken as well. If you have not been to Grandview Palace, I definitely recommend you go and check it out at least once; you will not be dissapointed! read more

Walnut shrimp is amazing and fish special see you soon Very excited to try other dishes! read more

Great food and customer service! I liked the quiet environment and they were able to get our party of 15 are food at the same time. Definitely will be returning! read more

Best Chinese food in Old Town Pasadena. I have been ordering all of my Chinese food delivery from Grandview Palace for years now and it is still as good as ever. My personal favorites are the Kung Pao chicken, pork egg rolls and vegetable egg rolls. read more

Food was ok. Worst service in history!!!! The server never spoke and didn't see him for almost 20 minutes even though there were only two tables eating. read more

We came to this place because we saw the great reviews, but despite the hype the food was just mediocre. It wasn't too salty or too heavy/greasy which was nice, but the food wasn't great and lacked flavor. The green tea was awful though. It tasted like soap. Dont order the green tea. The brown rice tasted the best though! We ordered a personal egg drop soup, pork pot stickers, shrimp and veggies, and green tea. It cost us $28 so the price is really good and the waiters are amazing and so nice! I hope this place improves its food a little bit so it can be as great as I see it being. read more

I love the food there because it hits you in the right spots. I consider it great food in case you have that craving of Chow fun last minute. read more

Omg so much disappointment I don't know where to start. I went by the high yelp rating, it did me wrong big time. I ordered takeout, food was here fast and super hot. That was about the only good part. I ordered the pork and the vegetable egg rolls which were good. The Chinese mustard was from a packet and somewhat tasteless. That should have been the least of my worries. The green beans and the happy family dinner, well I would have gotten more flavor from the cardboard boxes I have sitting outside by the blue bin. How can this food be so tasteless, like nothing, no salt no flavor no nothing. And I ordered so much food too I don't know I can eat it. Usually I look forward to leftovers but I have leftovers I dread sitting in the fridge. Ugh spectacular disappointment. Oh and I asked one of the dishes to be very spicy, nope, no flavor no spice no nothing. read more

The food was warmed over and soggy. My coworker picked it up from them and we are literally 6 minutes away from them. I don't recommend this place. Very disappointed. read more

Probably the best Chinese I've ever had in LA ! If you're in the Pasadena area I highly recommend it.

I've been coming to Grandview for the longest time, and every single visit reminds me why I love it. The food is always delicious. If you're in the Old Town area, and are craving fabulous Chinese cuisine, hit them up! read more

Was in the mood for Chinese and saw this place had good reviews so gave it a whirl. Ordered delivery. Arrived fairly quickly (30-40 minutes, ahead of ETA) and delivery person followed instructions + was very friendly. Food however was nothing special. Honey walnut shrimp was lightly golden/crispy with a nice creamy marinade. What I did appreciate was a healthy portion of walnuts; most places drop 1 walnut to every 5 shrimp. Grandview was practically 1:1. The sesame chicken was a big letdown though. Chicken was rather tough and chewy, more stringy than hearty. The sauce was also more like a tangy orange chicken sauce than a typical balanced sesame sauce. Unless they gave us the wrong item... Each dish came with rice. Portion to price wise, I was pretty happy. Didn't feel skimped at all. I'd give it a go again, but doesn't seem like chicken is going to be on my order next time. read more
