Great food! Line items can be hit or miss, but the cooked-to-order items are delicious. Either option is very fast. Definitely the best in Barstow, hands down. My shrimp fried rice was hot and not dry like other restaurants. Shrimp was deveined. Very flavorful. I'm a happy customer! read more

Sam’s Palace - Shrimp fried rice! - Chinese Near Me - Barstow, California

I had never been here, but when my grand baby asked for lunch here...of COURSE! He had the orange chicken, which was tender and delicious. If you stop in, you MUST try the hot and sour soup. The ingredients were SO fresh! #histalkerlucia read more

This place is horrible!!! When you order fresh to go make sure you check your order. They have screwed up multiple times. I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it is just ridiculous. We will never go back. read more

I really enjoyed this place! Me and my fiancé were stopping through on our way to Los Angeles. Very clean restrooms and dining area food portions were huge and everything tasted awesome! read more

This is fast food Chinese. Portions are huge, and one combo for about $8 can feed two people. The chicken is definitely chicken, but the pork is questionable at best. Good rice and noodles. Service was quick, and there were plenty of tables. Very kid-friendly, but don't take your kids for a walk around the strip mall. read more

I love this place! The food is great! I had one bad experience and it was the chow main. They must of burned the pot and that smokey burnt taste tainted the chow main but other than that 1 bad experience out of the dozen of times I've gone in there. Just make sure you go in time. If you go late about an hour before closing, what you see is what you get. They will not make to order. read more

Great food and very filling. Place is close to the military base and is worth the drive when you are a visitor. Recommend this place to anyone. read more

Sam’s Palace - Plate B orange chicken spicy chicken and cow mein. - Chinese Near Me - Barstow, California

I have at least tried all of the Chinese buffets in Barstow they are nasty, panda palace is the best out of the places I have eaten at. Their food is never cold and stail it always taste fresh, the business is always cleaned up I don't see cockroaches I've seen in other places. Their food never dissappoints us. My husband and kids love their teriyaki and orange chicken their prices are reasonable. I've never had any complaints or have been mistreated by employer's everyone is always polite. read more

Friendly staff, quick service, exceptionally clean, and food is tasty! What more could you want from fast food?

Sam’s Palace - Bomb Chicken Green Beans ,Tender Barbeque Pork ,Rice , Chowmein Best I've ever had! - Chinese Near Me - Barstow, California

This is more of a review /question, I want to k ow if there were different owners a couple months ago or something because I read the reviews and most of them are from a year or a couple months ago, the food was sub par and made me feel queasy, maybe its because the cook were probably Mexican or some title of hispanic. Dont get me wrong I'm hispanic I saw them selling horchata and Jamaica , which I thought was cool, but the food was not good, another question I have is Why are they selling Mexican based drinks at a Chinese place, its confusing and does not go well. Overall would not recommend , this a honest review , please take this into consideration when eating here read more

I like the price but the food quality is "ehh". The portions are big which is good I guess.

Me and my family have been going here for 20-plus years. It's so much better than Panda Express, it's definitely a mom and pop shop for Chinese. The service is always amazing and the food is always wonderful read more

I love the chow mein! I always get a big container to go. Some of the best Chinese food made by a Mexican cook, A+ A+ A+

We were on our way back from Vegas and we wanted to break for lunch, It was thanksgiving weekend and most of the restaurants in this area were closed, except some of the regular chain restaurants which we were in no mood for. For around 12$ we got a huge bowl (serves 2) of soup and half and half chow mein and veg fried rice with steamed veggies on the side. We are vegetarians, so these were the only options we had. The soup had egg. The food was palatable but that's it. The soup was pretty bad. The egg in the soup didn't look like it was cooked completely, so if you are vegetarian and not used to eating eggs that are not well done, I would ask you to stay away from that soup. The steamed veggies came to our rescue. The restroom here was very clean. Their very economic pricing and the fact that they were open on a day when the whole town was deserted convince me to give them three starts. read more

We're to start well let's start with the unfriendly service you will get , the food was so dry I wouldn't doubt it was from the day before and it's way over priced for what you get i hope the owners read this and take it in to consideration about doing something with how they run this place I was very unhappy wouldn't go back there if it was free all I could eat I'd rather starve they need to be shut down since after I forced down what I could and went to use the restroom and seen two roach's, wish I would of go to the restroom first I would of walked right out to tell you the truth when I seen the food selection up close I knew it was going to be crappy but my wife ju st had to have Chinese food which I love and she was like you were right never again felt like I wasted my money. Sorry I'm not sorry for talking down on this place I we were so unhappy a nd felt like we got robbed. Just trying to save anyone the hassle of an unpleasant meal . By the way I couldn't post this unless I chose a star rating so i picked one but didn't want to give them that read more

I love the food here good price and good service bathroom very clean . I don't have to drive to far for good food . They have special orders for anyone who wanna wait for fresh food like myself . I'm very picky when it comes to food and i know good food trust me lol hahaha . read more

Very reasonably priced and better tasting than Panda Express (although not by much). I might stop by for a quick bite here on the way to or from Vegas but otherwise I wouldn't make the trip. read more

Ugh this place is so disgusting. Every time I eat their food I feel sick after. I can taste all the MSG in it. All the sauces always taste the same. Idk why ppl continue to go here. I do not recommend this place. read more

I have lived in Barstow for 3 years & have been wanting to check out this place because of numerous positive reviews .. my opinion is this is a flavorless knock-off of Panda Express .. pretty disappointing, wish I had just driven over to the Outlets & got the Panda Express .. which I love .. especially their chow mein read more

Best Chinese food I've eaten in Barstow I drive out from fort Irwin just to eat so good

Great best Orange Chicken...best Chow mein. I love this place way better than any Panda Express. Better prices and excellent portions

workers are so amazing! Please visit this place you wont regret! Very clean and food is so good!

Excellent food. I got recommended here instead of going to Panda Express. Better food and cheaper too. Definitely suggest trying this place!

We like their food unlike panda , the orange chicken not spicy hot , but ummm! My hubby has rice, orange chicken, purple pork. Good. Rice is killer & prices are very reasonable. read more

My favorite Chinese food!!! Amazing service... amazing food... family run. It's a great place to stop at while on the road! Highly highly recommend this spot. read more

Chinese food is my favorite food ever and this is legitimately my favorite place to go. Great family who owns it too. Love Panda Palace read more

I'm from long beach just moved here like a month ago . And my first time at panda palace was a great one . The food was good the price was good . Bathroom was clean and i had a very good experience there . To be honest the food there was the best in Barstow if you ask me . Nothing like that nasty panda express that they call Chinese food . read more

Good Chinese fast food (very similar to the other better known "Panda" restaurant). All served take-out style. Portions are large (almost two meals in one). Place is never crowded (most people take their food home). Located in the Stater Bros. shopping center about a mile east of the Barstow Rd exit of the I-15. Large parking lot. Convenient to replenish your needs to continue your trip. I'm just an old (retired) soldier, and everthing tastes good to me, so I'll leave the determination of the quality and tastiness of the food to you, but I like it! read more

Great find if you are not in the mood for typical road trip food place has quality meat, great preparation, and best of all it's quite sanitary definitely glad I found this Gem! read more

Just had panda palace and I should have known from the name that it was a bootleg Panda Express. I ordered fired rice over the phone and ended up with boiled rice with peas and carrots. To make a long story short it's not worth the money. It's even more expensive then Panda Express! read more

There was a cockroach on the counter where the foods served and the woman saw it and acted like it wasn't a big deal. Needless to say I pretended I needed to call my friend to get the order right and then I never went back. I was absolutely disgusted read more

Best Chinese place in Barstow I think it's interesting it's ran by Mexicans and they cook Chinese food better then the other Chinese places in town that are ran by Chinese people the other restaurants in town are disgusting this is the only Chinese food place I eat at food is delicious I highly recommend it. read more

I've eaten here several times. My rationale is this: It's just as good as Panda Express, it's cheaper than Panda Express, it's less packed than Panda Express, it's the only Chinese restaurant in Barstow that isn't infested with pests other than Panda Express, and I can walk here although I cannot walk to Panda Express. Just tonight, I was eating chow mein, rice, orange chicken, and bbq pork. I stabbed with my fork what I thought was a piece of bbq pork. It was small and kinda crunchy. I figured it was just a small piece of pork that got burnt, but upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was shaped like this: http://tinypic.com/r/1zldapc/3 I thought to myself, "Heh, this looks sort of like a spider." Then, because I'm actually terrified of spiders, I thought, "OH GOD THIS LOOKS LIKE A SPIDER, I CANNOT PUT THIS IN MY MOUTH EVEN IF IT IS JUST PORK." And then I threw it away and continued on. Not two minutes later, I'd got a forkful of rice with a tiny, bbq-sauce-doused, black lump mixed in. I assumed, naively, that this was another piece of pork. But when I bit down on it, my mouth was flooded with a bitter-sweet taste quite unlike anything I'd ever tasted. My first thought was that it was a bit nutty, and a bit like black liquorice. My second thought was that I hate black liquorice. My third thought was, why, in a plateful of rice and chow mein and bbq pork and orange chicken, should I find anything that tastes even remotely similar to black liquorice? I spit it out immediately. I examined it with my fork, and discovered that it looked absolutely nothing like pork. The ignorance-is-bliss part of my brain insisted for a moment that it could've been a walnut that got mixed in somehow, and the rest of my brain kindly punched this small part of my brain in the face, because, after all, WHY would a walnut taste like black liquorice? It was at this point that I ran into the kitchen and shoved an entire tortilla in my mouth, just to get the taste out. Then I brushed my teeth and used up about half a bottle of mouthwash. Then I went back to examining. I poked it a bit more with my fork, and it came apart so I could see the inside. It looked exactly like a crushed cockroach. EXACTLY LIKE A CRUSHED COCKROACH. Then I thought, "OH GOD THAT REALLY WAS A SPIDER." In summary: oh god, oh god, oh god, don't eat here, I'm so serious. read more

It depends on who is preparing the food. Some times it is pretty good other times it does not taste good at all. I ate on New Years Eve 2015 and it was not good at all. It is good that they were open and they had quite a line of people. We were waiting as the fried rice had ran out so I chose to have chicken fried rice (special order) and it was a waste of my money and we were disappointed and left hungry. No one wanted to finish one helping let alone come back for more like they usually do when I cook. Save your money cook at home or go someplace else to eat....... read more

I really enjoy this place it's a serious step up from Panda Express they seem to use higher quality ingredients and the servers are always nice. Really good Chinese fast food if you haven't been here give it a shot. read more
