It's reopened!! Our goto server Oscar is back too! Great service and great food! Recently my wife celebrated her birthday with our family ! Everything was perfect! read more

My mom and I came here for lunch on a Thursday. The restaurant wasn't crowded, so we were seated fairly fast. Our server came over to get our drink orders as we reviewed the lunch menu. My mom ordered sesame chicken , which she said was too sweet. And it was! I ordered Hunan chicken (extra spicy). The spice level was nice but I didn't love this dish. Way too saucy and not enough chicken. I definitely regret not asking which veggies came with this dish. I am not a water chestnut fan soooooo yeah. We both enjoyed the egg roll and hot and sour soup. This is casual dining. Decent service. read more

I go to this restaurant since I moved here in 2006, I love their food and the authenticity of their Chinese dishes. I tried everything and they were amazing even my family from out state loves their food. But over the years this is my all time favorite dish Mandarin combination, can't get enough very yummy! Service is fast , server Oscar is vey attentive and the owner is very nice to me. I believed this is the best Chinese restaurant in Trussville! read more

Palace Chinese Restaurant - Mandarin Combination - Chinese Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

This is our go to take out Chinese in Trussville. They have a wide variety of options. I tried the pepper chicken for the first time and LOVED it! It's crunchy with a heavy spicy pepper taste. It mixed well with the sweet red sauce that comes with the egg rolls. Service is fast and we've never had an issue with our order being wrong and we've ordered here more times than we can count. read more

Ate to go from Palace in an airport parking lot with a friend. My first impression of this restaurant is very favorable! Pricing is reasonable, especially for the portions. I ordered Mongolian Beef, which I was told was one of the best dishes, and it did not disappoint. There is some heat to it, and a slight sweetness - a touch different from others I've had. Fried rice was pretty plain; I think to accentuate the sweetness, if there's a next time I'm in the area, I'm going to go for steamed rice. Quantity was just right, since I saved the rather large eggroll for later. (FYI - I wasn't a fan of the eggroll - a bit bland.) All to go items were included - sauces, napkins and plastic ware - and order was ready on time. I'd say it's a go for to go. read more

Small place but the food was good and plentiful for the price. Not much to set it apart from other Chinese buffets but I'd return the next time I'm there area. read more

The best chinese this side of china .. the staff is always very helpful and nice sized portions

Best Chinese food ever! Mongolian Beef, soups, egg roll, sesame chicken, mandarin combination are all excellent.

Of all my years coming to this area, it never occur to me to try this restaurant out especially me liking Chinese food. I went on a Sunday afternoon which was a bad timing since everyone was coming from church and the place was already forming a line. All I really wanted was to place a to go order which you'll do that at the counter equal bar. My first impression is that I've never knew a normal Chinese restaurant would have a bar which is a first. The employee that took my order was nice and the price for a lunch special wasn't bad which you'll get a main course, fried rice, egg roll and a small hot and sour soup. Everything was good including the chicken with broccoli that had a tasty sauce on the dish and I would have prefer my fried rice to have more than just one scoop. read more

Yikes. I ordered the Chicken Lettuce Wrap at lunch for $12.** It looked good upon arrival but when I tried it, it was just hard and crunchy, I couldn't find any pieces of chicken. The equivalent of chicken bacon bits. When I told the waitress that I didn't like it and didn't want it, she didn't say a word just turned and walked away. Didn't ask me if I wanted anything else or even offer to fix it. The person I was with ordered Chinese Vegetables for $10.** and got three pieces of broccoli and a ton of water chestnuts in a coagulated gel. She still paid for hers despite the pitiful serving size she received. Then when we paid, we were again not spoken to. Horrible attitudes and the food wasn't even worth putting up with it. If you want local Chinese, Happy Wok is the place to go. We will never betray them again by going elsewhere. read more

The service was ok but the food was beyond subpar. The salt and pepper chicken was bland, hard, and possibly one of the worst Americanized Chinese dishes in my life. The sizzling rice soup was nothing I've ever had before. First off, there was no rice. Not initially. I had to add puffed rice which is crazy. And the soup was dry tasting. How?! Then there was only 3 shrimps and a few slivers of chicken. The only decent thing were the egg rolls I got but they taste store bought. I wasted money and I'm unsatisfied. Smh read more

Always hot and fresh and service is always great... consistently EVERY time. Best hot and sour soup and egg rolls ever!

Stopped in for a weekday lunch, only thing good was the egg rolls and water, the general tso's chicken wasn't even edible, took one bite and pushed my plate to the side. Waited on my coworker to finish his plate. Informed hostess of the quality and left. I eat Chinese fairly often at many different places and this was by far a stay away. read more

Wonderful food, large selection, friendly staff. Been coming here for years, never disappointed. Would recommend to everyone!

My go-to Chinese restaurant. It never fails to be delicious every time! My favorite is the honey chicken. Best egg rolls and fried rice!!

This is a nice Chinese restaurant in Trussville. This is my second time eating their lunch specials here but I am reviewing my latest visit. The food was okay I really loved their hot and sour soup with the chips. My daughter had the egg drop soup and she loved it. I tasted it and have to agree that is way better than other locations. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken which it was way to sweet for my liking and supposedly it has the spicy symbol next to it on the menu. I guess spicy doesn't necessarily mean it's spicy. The only thing they will add to make it "spicy" is a couple of hot dried red peppers that can easily be put to the side, so be conscious about that when ordering. Same thing with my mother, she ordered the Hunan chicken and she said it was way to sweet for her. My daughter had the Chicken and Broccoli and really liked it but comparing her dish to the other two it had the same sweetness, which seems that a lot of there dishes come with the same sauce. The fried rice that comes with the dish is good nothing you wouldn't get elsewhere. I will however come back and try other dishes if not just for the soup! read more

We have been going to the palace for the last 16 years. Great hot and sour soup and awesome egg rolls. We went today and roaches ran across my wifes hand on our table when we first sat down. We got up and left. They offered to move us to a different table and I said we were going to eat somewhere that doesn't have roaches. If you see roaches in the dining area it means the kitchen is VERY dirty. I hate to see them go downhill, but sadly we are done. read more

Worst egg rolls I have ever eaten. Service for take was good. Restaurant seemed clean. Gods was not worth the price.

Outstanding food and outstanding service at this restaurant! We will definitely return for another great experience!

Really enjoyed dinner tonight. Steamed dumplings, crab angels, egg rolls, Mongolian combo. All were outstanding. Really good service. read more

Palace Chinese Restaurant - Mongolian combo - Chinese Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Bland atmosphere, but the food was good- great sesame chicken- and price was low in comparison to how much food they packed onto your plate

If you are looking for the best soup in town, don't miss their Hot and Sour Soup. Their eggrolls are made fresh and never disappoint. The menu is very diverse by meeting every single one of my family's favorites. Don't be afraid to try something you wouldn't normally order. I have always been pleasantly surprised. Looking forward to visiting the restaurant again very soon! read more

I love the palace, except for General Tso chicken. Everything else I have had there was great. Including soup and egg rolls. Everything looks clean and great service. read more

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. Food is delicious and staff are friendly and attentive. They also have some of the best shrimp toast! read more

Great service and really solid Chinese food. It's a little out of the way but worth checking out if you are in the area. Also, a great assortment of beers (local and imported). read more

Service was great, but food was not. I ordered Mongolian chicken during lunch & it was way too sweet, I couldn't even eat it. This place use to be good and I loved coming here but I'm not sure if they got a new cook or what, the last few times I've been lately, the food was horrible. read more

Went for lunch today. I have been eating here for years. I always get the Mongolian Chicken with egg roll and hot and sour soup. It was delicious. The portions were perfect and the service was awesome. I don't like to go for dinner because it comes with steamed rice and you don't get the egg roll/soup and it costs more (never understood that about Chinese restaurants). read more

Huge disappointment! This place came highly recommended, but the food was incredibly disappointing. Great service and a clean dining room, but the food was bland and poorly cooked. It tasted like the sort of thing you can buy in the freezer section. Add in the higher than average prices, and it was a depressing experience. I can only guess it's the service that draws customers. We won't be back. read more

We ordered take out dinner last night and it was amazing! We had the fried rice, and the General Taos Chicken, and the Kung Pao Shrimp,all were fresh delicious and we will definitely order again. The egg rolls were also very good. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant by far. Everything is always fresh and the service is spot on.

I've been eating at The Palace, or just "Palace" as the sign indicates, ever since it opened. Although my girlfriend and I eat all over Jefferson County, we have gone to The Palace more than any other location over the years. The prices are affordable, the staff are efficient, the restrooms are clean, and the food has been very, very consistent over the years. It should be noted that this is largely American strip-mall style Chinese food. It is not trying to be authentic Chinese, and thank goodness for that, because I love the food the way it is and I have my authentic place for when I want it. I really don't like servers trying to sell me on items or trying to make conversation when I'm out to dinner with someone, and The Palace is one place where I have happily never had to deal with that. They take my order and quickly bring me my food. They also have lunch specials that are a great value. read more

The dinner prices don't equate to the quality of the food. I paid over $14 for a subpar meal of sesame shrimp. The dish was dry and tasteless. In fact, I placed a to - go order but was told by the cashier/hostess that I wouldn't like what I ordered. I was taken aback and asked her if she was suggesting I order something else. She agreed as I tried to reorder the same dish. She insisted that I wouldn't like it. Needless to say I didn't order the original dish but instead ordered the aforementioned sesame shrimp and it was horrible. I didn't even get plastic ware or an egg roll to boot for $14. Don't waste your dinner money. read more

This is by far the best Chinese Place in Birmingham. Yes, even better than PF Changs. The hot and sour soup is always the bomb. I've never had a bad dish here and tonight was no different. I had the Cashew Shrimp and my wife had the sizzling rice seafood dish, and it's they were both phenomenal. I didn't know they served mixed drinks, and they were even above average. read more

Truest my favorite place to eat. Good food, and good waiters. Been to this place my whole life and still my favorite place to eat

Our family has been coming here for years. Awesome egg rolls, hot and sour soup, and they have super spicy mustard! Steamed dumplings are also a favorite. read more

This used to be good food. Last couple of times there I was very disappointed. I ordered a shrimp dish. Shrimp shells in my food and the shrimp was tough (over cooked). I complained and nothing was offered, not even an apology from the manager (that was the person to whom I made my complaint). I won't go back. read more
