We drive through Hannibal, Mo maybe 10 times a year - always stopping for fast food. Read the reviews for Jet's Palace and decided to go "off script". We are Chinese food regulars - and this place was top notch! Weren't sure from the street view - but inside is awesome - great food, service, cleanliness, friendly, reasonable prices. A 10/10. read more

If you need to find a plant-based meal in Hannibal, your options are slim. As a person who is used to a vibrant, urban food scene, this place was amusing. I'm going to guess the food is not strictly vegan, but I was happy to get tofu after a long day of traveling. The spring rolls are vegetable but they are fried. The server was funny and sweet and all the staff was attentive. read more

My favorite Chinese food of all time is created here. General Tsaos chicken level 3 with an order of crab rangoon and hot tea is sublime. Service is always fast, even when busy, friendly and has gotten my order correct 100% of the time. Great lunch specials, fast to-go service and tasty food. Trickiest part is the parking when it's fill - either right in front of the building or the parking lot across the street. Totally worth it though!! read more

This is a great place for lunch! It has a really nice ambiance and you can tell they take pride in their establishment. Everything from the leather menu books to the fancy soup bowls made the presentation exquisite. All of the lunch menu options are under $10 and come with a soup and a side, so you're really getting your money's worth. The vegetarian delight probably wasn't the best meal to showcase their cooking skills, but it was quite good. It had a lot of different vegetables and was a good portion size. Jet's Palace is great. You should stop in! read more

Jet's Palace - Vegetable delight - Chinese Near Me - Hannibal, Missouri

My favorite Chinese restaurant. The staff here are so nice and helpful. We have never had a bad meal or service. The restaurant is always very clean. read more

Food was absolutely amazing and the service was even better!!! Cindy was our waitress and she's so sweet and down to earth ! I also enjoyed my meal with wonderful hot tea!!! Would definitely recommend this Chinese place over all in Hannibal read more

I really am not want to complain, but I do wish that I would've checked the stapled sack before leaving. We got to the campground, which was over 20 minutes away and we were missing some of our items. It was too late to go back and everyone was hungry, but if I'm gonna spend $90 on supper, I expect to get everything I paid for. However, the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed our meal. The ladies working there were very nice, but when I called about our food, I was told the manager was busy and would call back and she never did so almost $20 worth of food was not received. read more

Jet's Palace - Nearly all gone! - Chinese Near Me - Hannibal, Missouri

Authentic food, nice servers, fish tank for the kids to see. Interesting decor, good hours.

We stopped here before heading to the Mark Twain house and museum. The food was excellent. I had the Mongolian three star which consisted of chicken, beef and shrimp with a delicious sauce. The veggies were onions and carrots. I would definitely order this again. Lunch came with soup, an egg roll and fried rice. Our server Cindy was excellent as well-friendly, knowledgeable, and moved fast. Lunch specials are offered on the weekends which is an added bonus! read more

Authentic food with excellent flavor. Good value for offering. Highly recommend! The crab ration was delicious.

My family has been going here for years & absolutely love the food. Real sweet & sour dishes (not just breaded meat & sauce), friendly staff & the service is excellent. We always stop here when passing through Hannibal. read more

I will concur with others that this is a find. From the outside it looks like an old cafe, need not worry. Inside has been remodeled, looks nice, and staff is friendly. I ordered to go, and my hostess who took my order allowed me to pick a dinner combo with an item that was not listed. Took about 5-10minutes to make. By the time I got to sit down and eat my meal was still hot, a plus. I had twice coked pork and the entree had flavor, yeah! Can't tell you how many times I've tried Chinese only to have a bland meal. My dinner combo was more then I could eat and it left me with left overs. If traveling through, you see other five ratings, stop looking and come on in. I will next time I'm in town or in the area again. read more

Jet's Palace - Nice, and cozy - Chinese Near Me - Hannibal, Missouri

Grabbed dinner at Jet's Palace while passing through. It was just ok. I was hoping for better, given the great reviews, but was just a little bit disappointed. We got the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. It was definitely reasonably priced. Two orders for $22. The portion size of the chicken was more than enough and even though the rice came in the tiniest box, it was more than enough. The rice wasn't like the fried rice I am used to. It seems to be just rice with soy sauce. There were no vegetables in it and I might have seen one or two tiny pieces of egg in it. If you like your fried rice with some flavor, this wasn't it. The chicken was just ok also. Some of the pieces seemed a little bit tough, like the chicken was over cooked or had sat for a while. It wasn't all that way, but a good portion. The flavor was what you would expect with sweet and sour chicken, for the pieces that weren't too tough to chew. I couldn't speak to the restaurant itself as we are still in pandemic mode and there was no indoor (or outdoor dining). The woman who waited on me was friendly though - as were most all of the people we interacted with in Missouri. Final thought - it wasn't the worst Chinese food we have ever had, but it wasn't a show stopper either. read more

Best Chinese food in Hannibal hands down. Cooked to order. If the menu says it's spicy, it actually is spicy. This is my go to place for excellent Chinese food. read more

This place is gods gift to us all here in Hannibal. The staff are all incredible and the food comes out fresh and hot! No buffet but it's family style! read more

From the outside it looks like an old cafe, but the restaurant is clean and tidy, the service is quick and friendly, and the servings generous. The hot sour soup was more flavorful than any other we've had locally, The Crab Rangoon was delicious and obviously handmade, unlike the frozen variety you get elsewhere. The fried egg rolls were fluffy and tasty, and served with Chinese mustard that can take your breath away. The Kung Pao Triple Delight was good enough that we have been back several times to explore the regional dishes on their menu. read more

The restaurant was nice and clean, and the menus were VERY nice! Every staff member was extremely nice, and I would 100% recommend. I had the general tso's chicken 5/5 spice level, and my Mom had the black pepper chicken. Both dishes were delicious! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

We ordered the egg drop soup, egg rolls, sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice, and lo mein. It was all very good and I definitely recommended going! Our favorites were the sesame chicken, pork fried rice, egg drop soup, and lo mein. If we are in the area we will come back :) read more

It's a long haul from Chicago to Kansas City, but the best path is through Hannibal. Still, you need to eat somewhere, and "it's a long lonesome road". With many a straight turn in this case. McDonald's? Nope. Other fast food places - honestly there are not many. So - hey - GOOD American Chinese would be wonderful. And here it is. I normally condemn American Chinese because I prefer authentic, but these folks do a good job with American Chinese - it's tasty, it's quick, it's not expensive - and it's not fast food. I even had a couple of items I'd avoided in the past because of the Americanization - and they did it fantastic! read more

Update: Jet's just finished a complete interior and exterior overhaul. It's now the cleanest (spic and span) restaurant in the area. Bright, open interior and fresh new bathrooms. Same fabulous food and service. ---end update. This place looks a bit icky on the outside so we've never considered eating here, but when I read the other reviews, I felt we should give it a try. The interior is very clean and appealing. New, clean carpet. Clean comfortable booth seating as well as chairs. No stains anywhere like I often see at Chinese restaurants. AND NO FUNKY SMELL! I hate that yucky burned oil., trash, stanky shrimp smell that you often get at small chinese restaurants. The kids will love the three big beautiful aquariums at the front also. There is a tiny bit of language barrier, but not bad and you quickly develop an "ear" and do ok. The food was great!! I got the lunch special ($6.95) szechuan beef and my husband got the lunch special kung pao chicken. His eggroll was more like a spring roll, but tasty and FRESH. Both were appropriately spicy, but not knock your socks off and beg for mommy hot. I had a head cold. So it was perfect to open up those sinuses and I could breathe by the time we left. Lunch specials are good 7 days a week too. Bathroom is small but clean and tidy. Had soap, lots of towels on the dispenser and trash was not overflowing even though its a tiny one, so they must maintain it often. Parking can be tricky. Maybe we'll park across the street at Farm and Home next time. Service was SUPER fast and friendly but unobtrusive. We will definitely be making this a regular for our routine. Just wish we hadn't passed it by for so long. read more

What a great gem. Ignore the outside of the building, it's nice and clean inside oh and clean bathrooms too. Prices were fair and they give you a ton of food. We ordered the Crab Rangoon and they were fresh and hot, not the cruddy frozen ones. They were good too. We ordered the Crispy honey walnut shrimp and the Mongolian verge. Both were great and fresh. Veggies weren't soggy which is a plus too! Service was super friendly!!! read more

Great food lacking good portions of fried rice in to-go order. Will be back to try more food soon! Favorites were Orange Chicken, General Tso 's Chicken, and moo goo gai pan. Didn't like the taste of the egg drop soup, very small portion also. read more

We were on a trip and saw this place had great reviews. I am not sure if it is the area it is in or the lack of other Chinese places? The staff was extremely friendly and the service time was great. But the food, was nothing special or out of the ordinary. Definitely not a bad place, but not 4-5 stars. read more

My girlfriend and I were starving and so we decided to stop by and eat some food. We both got the lunch specials. I got the Sesame chicken, white rice, ragoon, and egg drop soup she got the Orange chicken, brown rice, ragoon, and egg drop soup. We both got water and the food was pretty good. It came out pretty fast and all in all was a solid meal. I would go here again. Plus the price was under $20 for both our meals (before tip). read more

We were on our way home from a long drive and we stopped here to grab some dinner because we were feeling some chinese food and lemme tell you: it's wonderful! I'm not too big a fan of Chinese food because 1. I'm over it and 2. there's barely any quality Chinese food that I've tasted. But this place is great! Paid about $14 per person but we definitely got our money's worth. Sizzling rice soup was great! The crab rangoons were very good as well. The food wasn't gross, soggy, oily, and disgusting. The lady was very nice as well. I would definitely stop there again! read more

I had the garlic chicken dinner special. It came with choice of a small soup. Plus 3 appetizers - not a choice but all 3 one of which was crab Rangoon and the other an egg roll. Choice of white or fried rice. The garlic chicken came mixed with a lot of vegetables and was very good - just really sweet with a lot more sugar (2-3x what I'm used to). Overall very good just overly sweetened for my taste - if you like sweet dishes this place would be 5 stars. Very good service. read more

This place ia the best in the area. Had a selection. Crab Rangoon isn't too sweet. Egg rolls, perfect. Orange chicken l, szehuan chicken. Perfect . As far as Hannibal is concerned I think they already know thay have a fine little Chinese place to get great food at. read more

Jet's Palace - You know its got to be good - Chinese Near Me - Hannibal, Missouri

The best place in Hannibal to get Chinese food! We have been coming here for our Chinese food cravings for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is always clean and tidy, the service is impeccable and friendly, and the food is the best in town. My family personally loves the sweet and sour chicken the best, but we have tried so much on their menu and never been disappointed. This is our favorite place to bring out of town friends! read more

Was told if I wanted good Chinese food I'd have to go to Hannibal to get it. Traveled over 30 minutes to get to jets palace and was left disappointed. Egg roll was soggy since it was packaged in container with garlic chicken and got soaked in the sauce, chicken was rubbery, veggies were overcooked and hard, dried up broccoli, fried rice is just rice, no veggies or pork in it like other restaurants. Husband said his meal was sub par too. Overall it was a nice drive but will not be back again. read more

Nice clean restaurant with wonderful food and friendly owners and staff! The tea is my favorite along with the steamed dumplings.

Very good Food, we just moved here from Cali and very impressed with the quality of food. Ordered for my family and went shopping first and was able to call for them to get it ready and it was perfect and stayed hot until we got home 40min drive. my family enjoyed it. Next time we crave asian cuisine we will definitely go there. read more

Anytime we visit Mark Twain's hometown, this is our go-to chinese restaurant. Really fresh, vegetables are never overcooked, meat is never undercooked. Great seasoning/flavors. Very clean inside, even the restroom is well kept, nice staff and owner. Can get busy at dinner time. read more

Don't let the outside fool you. The main sign looks dumpy, and the building doesn't have any curb appeal. However, the inside- including the bathrooms - has been nicely remodeled and is a step way above the typical local Chinese place. Food is great - certainly the best Asian food in the area. Kung pao chicken is great, as are the dumplings, crab rangoon, twice cooked pork, etc. We have been there a few times now, and we don't even live in Hannibal. The only thing I don't care for are the egg rolls - too much cabbage leaves them bland. read more

How lucky were we to find this place. Great option in Hannibal MO especially on Sunday. Has the H2 seafood special and Mongolian Beef with fried rice. Crab rangoon appetizer a must read more

Great food! My shrimp with lobster sauce was delicious and not heavy on cornstarch or MSG, which I liked. My husband said his Mushu pork was some of the best he'd ever had. The servings were generous and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. Nice small town feel and we plan on stopping by again on our way through here. read more

This place is great! Yummy food and great service.. we stopped in on our way to St. Louis and super happy that we did! Definitely recommended!! read more

Great tasting food and appropriately sized portion for the price. If Jet's Palace was in a larger city with multiple Chinese restaurants, I would still go back to this place on a regular basis. It does look rundown on the outside, but the inside is nice and clean. The staff was very friendly. I walked in to order carry out and it was ready in 10 min. Mongolian beef, shrimp with mixed vegetables, and chicken chow mein for $29. All dishes come with either steamed or fried rice. read more

If you are looking for excellent Chinese dining in Hannibal then this is the place to go. I have eaten at numerous Oriental restaurants across the country and the quality was as good, if not better, than most I've had. I had the Hunan Chicken and found it very flavorful without that generic taste you often get at Oriental restaurants. As for the service, we started off with a new waitress who was unfamiliar with the dishes and had difficulty answering our questions. But soon after she had the owner come over and he was very helpful. He even offered to substitute or add vegetables of our choosing to our dishes in order to make them into what we were looking for. I was hoping for some baby corns with my Hunan Chicken and he graciously added them to my dish without any additional cost. Costwise the prices were reasonable. They were not cheap nor expensive, but moderate. I will definitely be returning to Jets in the near future and I strongly encourage others to patronize this place. read more

This is what I love about Yelp. I never would have stopped at this place if it weren't for all the rave reviews. it doesn't look like much from the outside and Jet's Palace doesn't exactly sound like a world class restaurant name. Thanks to Yelp we did stop and had a great lunch here today. This lady can cook! Everything was fresh and loaded with flavor. We'll eat here every chance we get from now on! read more
