When I want to pick-up some Chinese food to take home I come here. Never had a bad meal here, everything is very good, noodles, rice, chicken, beef, egg rolls, very good variety, never been disappointed. Portions are big! Easy parking in huge (Stater Bros.) parking lot. I recommend Sam's Palace for fast, friendly service and good food! read more

The food was so good I definitely recommend this place. It might be our new favorite chinese spot in Barstow read more

My favorite menu item is the war wonton soup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Total ripoff!!! They are charging a $1 card fee (enough for a $30 order) to EVERY customer when the average sale is less than half of that

Stopped in to take food to our old job. We got there right at 1030 when they opened. The food was fresh and delicious. We didn't eat there but the place was clean and well lit. read more

Gotta love a chinese spot that sells housemade horchata and jamaica. Tables and floor were clean enough to eat on.

Food is amazing! Portioning is graceful! Just ate the wonton soup and by far the best I've ever had! Skip panda and come to Sam's!

The food was beyond pathetic. I ordered chicken chopsuey, they just steamed the vegetables with chicken with zero flavor. Even the hospitals in USA had better food than this. Food was served in boxes with no proper plates or utensils, and plus we had to buy the sauces to go with it. I paid freaken $64 for this shit. Zero ratings read more

Super deal for a big party at a great price and good quality , I ordered in advance and it was ready on time... I have no complaints... fed more people than I needed and had leftovers read more

Excellent, had Orange Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Chow Mein, vegetables and 4 egg rolls, this is literaly three meals for me. Every thing was very good, except the egg rolls they were very dry. Every thing was $16+. Located in the Stater Bros. shopping complex, huge parking lot, for RVs, trailers, next to a super market, dollar store, bank, credit union, laundomat, and many other stores for travelers. read more

Food is great and the service is fast and the place is always clean . The food is hot and ready and they also have special orders also you just need to call in advance if you don't want to wait . Good price for the amount of food they give my to go Chinese food when I want Chinese food read more

I love their food and selection. Very fresh food always and love it there. Love their Wor Won Ton Soup read more

Sam’s Palace - Chinese Near Me - Barstow, California

The food used to be good, it sucks now. I hate to say this but I recommend going to panda Express instead.

Although we go there often for our special rice, chicken and shrimp, asked for no peas and carrots, but got home and found they had added them. Talked to Lilly and she promised to compensate me next time. She has best customer service and such a nice young lady. read more

Sam’s Palace - a plate of fried rice with meat and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Barstow, California

Tasty food in the high desert. Price was similar to Express, quality was much better.

Loved this place! To me, it tastes remarkably similar to Panda Express. Their portions are very generous for the price. The restaurant is very clean and the workers are welcoming and accommodating. I ordered orange chicken, broccoli beef and rice. Again, so similar to Panda Express. I love Panda Express, so that's a good thing. More for your buck here though. My food was very fresh; they had just made more before I ordered. The only complaint was the broccoli was a tad over cooked and mushy and the meat was a tad tough and gristly. Still very flavorful and would definitely order again read more

This place was actually very good. I got the orange chicken and stir fry chicken. Good meaty pieces and good flavor. The place was very clean and cool inside. The workers were all super nice. We wanted a change from Panda Express as we drove from LA to Las Vegas. Would come again. read more

My husband wanted me to give 1 or 2 stars, but that seems a bit harsh.Sure, the beef and broccoli had no flavor, portions were so-so, and overall the food wasn't great and we were not satisfied, but I want to give 3 stars just to be nice. The combo plate is pricey compared to other Chinese restaurants with more portion size and better tasting food. My husband always finishes his food, and he did not.I barely ate as well.My children at the rice and that's all. I think the best thing was the orange chicken.I thought it was flavorful and tastes good, so the 3 stars go to that dish. read more

All the bad reviews made me sceptical about going here for MONTHS... but let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with this place... the serving size they give compared to other Chinese food places is smaller, but not dramatically smaller... however, they do give you bigger portions than nasty ol panda express... I have read reviews that said that the staff are mean... they are NOT mean... they are hot and tired from cooking and standing all damn day... if you have a problem with the lack of enthusiasm in their voice when they say "hi, how are you" then you are either a self entitled asshole or have never worked a job where you don't get to sit down... their tone is appropriate, especially if you're coming in an hour before closing and like anyone else, they are just ready to go home... I must say whatever the woman's name is that made my plate today was sweet considering it was the end of the day and she did something very nice for my 8 year old daughter just because she asked... a 3 entree combo was a little less than $10 after tax, which again, compared to nasty ol panda express, is worth it... I've been here only twice and I have not seen empty food items like others have complained... but if an item is completely gone faster than they can make another batch, that should tell you a bit about the taste... obviously it's good... there are also people in there everytime I drive by to go to the grocery store... you don't get business if your food is gross so ‍‍ only reason I gave 4 stars is because they are good but not great... read more

I choose this place because of the good reviews on google but it disappoint. The food was ok only, nothing special, but the quality lates were small and expensive. The place is outdated. It will definitely not be on my stop list anymore. read more

Love their food!! Best wonton soup and shrimp fried rice. Their chicken wings are bomb too!

Outstanding food and service. New to barstow and noticed this place stayed busy.. Decided to give it a try.. And very happy i did.. By far best Chinese food in barstow.. read more

I wasn't happy with the service or the food food in the city or a while wasn't hot is it people are so busy talking to each other but they're not taking care of business read more

Don't ever eat here... my 1st and last time. To expensive and food is not good. also customer service sucks. Amount of food they serve you is not enough for the price you pay.... Next time I'll go to McDonald's better, they will give you more food for your money than this Chinese place I went to. If I could give NO stars I would but I can't. I'm very disappointed. read more

Limited version of Panda. Actually it's quite sad because there are so many of us who would love to avoid the drive to Lenwood. Attention to detail and fresh ingredients would go a long way. read more

I asked at this restaurant if they make chow mein with bean sprouts. They said yes, so I got out of my sick bed. Went to the restaurant only to find out they are selling Yakasoba noodles iand calling it chow mein. read more

Ever since I moved to a barstow this is the only Chinese food restaurant that I like that's why it's gotten two stars it's amazing taste wise but the last four times that I went here they literally have given me one piece or meat two pieces of meat maybe if I'm lucky in my beef and broccoli I mean its about 10 bucks a plate atleast give me a lil more read more

Sam’s Palace - broccoli but no beef - Chinese Near Me - Barstow, California

It's unfortunate but they never consistently have things like barbecue pork. It is never a menu that you can rely on. The food is very good but you can never figure what you're going to get when you go there. Even though they don't have certain items they don't seem to care about the fact that they don't have them and just take the attitude of it or leave it. So consequently I leave. I noticed when the economy was low, they reduce the size of their dishes and now that the economy has recovered they're just taking the extra income rather than giving it back to the customer. read more

I love this place! Portion sizes are big for the price. This place can busy in the evenings around dinner time. Which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 because it can take some time. They only have one person serving food and another cashing you out, besides the cooks in the back. read more

With the small selection of Asian food that Barstow has, Panda Palace was a gem to find! It's certainly very different from big chains like Panda Express, but the portions and prices are comparable, and Panda Palace has that great family-owned Chinese Fast Food vibe. The restaurant is spacious and has a surprisingly large seating area. I came here with my boyfriend and my parents, and service was very fast and polite. Their set-up has trays of ready-made food, so getting your food is quick and straightforward. I ordered a 3-entree combo with chow mein, and my entrees were orange chicken, mushroom chicken, and chicken wings. The chow mein and orange chicken were delicious, and were the stars of my meal! The mushroom chicken was great although a bit slimy, and it was more like zucchini chicken than mushroom chicken with the ratio of veggies in it. The wings were also tasty (and there was enough to share with everyone at the table) with had a spicy kick. Portions were big enough that my leftovers were enough for an entire second meal. Would dine here again! read more

In Barstow for work, finding places to try have been great but this one has to be my least favorite. The price and portions are okay but the flavor is bland. Should have just gone to Panda Express. They also have a kid, maybe 4-5, which I don't mind bringing your kid to work, but don't let him put his hands where the food is! Specially since he was playing on the floor. read more

This is the most amazing Chinese food I have tasted in all my travels, and I have traveled 10 countries and over 20 states (due to military service). The food is always hot and the service is spectacular. read more

Hiw do you say yumm?? Yummie. The food was a good price and it was really good. I drove back home the same way just so l could stop back by.

First off it's not authentic but it was very good. I took a chance and was not disappointed. It's always nice to have something other than Mexican and burgers. read more

The War Wonton soup is amazing!! The servings are huge as well. Great fast food stop in Barstow.

The food here is not that great but I was disappointed. They do give big portions but it was just too much. I ordered bbq pork and orange chicken and my whole food was bland and super sweet made me sick to my stomach. Also, the veggie egg rolls taste like CHURROS Not authentic at all. read more

Panada Palace is the place for me. The food is fine, the service is good. Take out is quick and easy. Quick and easy is what comes to mind when I think of the Panda. Not as commercial as Panda Express, and not supurb quality - just good food you get when you are in a hurry do not want to cook and ...... you want it now !! Panda Palace meets my needs. They pile on the rice or noodles and two entrees for a cost of $5.99. Two meals (dinner and lunch the next day) for a single guy in a hurry for $5.99 - what more can you ask. Teriyaki chicken, Chicken and green beans, Chicken and mushrooms, Beef and brocolli, Spicey chicken, Egg rolls all contribute to the two entree standard fare .... Good food ... quick and easy !! Panda Palace read more

Very disappointed! They give you 5 pieces of teriyaki chicken, very greedy! Never coming back here again! I'd give this place a 0 star if I could. Don't waste your time coming to this place. It's horrible! Very negative environment! I Regret coming here! read more
