China Palace

Always loved this place. Have been eating here for 15+ years before the protective window at the ordering station (which saddens me, how the neighborhood changed n the class of people have made hard workers like them fear for their safety and being robbed) was there. Once in a blue I will order take out but I usually have them deliver. Lately, I get the sense that many of the people that they ate delivering to do not tip the drivers. Up until a few years ago I never felt that but I do now. When I tip them a $5 bill for a $30 chev, they are overjoyed. That to me is a sign that people are not tipping them. That is tacky and classless. It only shows me that their recent clientele has changed and they don't often go out to a sit down restaurant with proper cutlery and linen table cloths. Tipping is not city in China. 18% is what they say people should leave normally but 20% is what people normally leave that go out for a sit down dinner and are not cheap. Yes it's only a delivery and 18% should be sufficient especially because the price of gas is through the roof. Not to mention that they arrive in a extremely timely fashion. The food is as hot as it is when it comes out of the frying pan. Have some class and treat them the way you would want to be treated if you were surviving off of delivering take out food.

We've been ordering from China Palace for years and tonights dinner didn't disappoint. The ribs (bone-in) large were meaty and flavorful. The soup for 2 is filled with chicken, pork, small shrimp and vegetables a meal in itself. We also ordered house special fried rice and lo mein, plenty of vegetables and meat. That's for another night, too full. We highly recommend China Palace.

Good food and great variety. My favorites are their fried chicken, BBQ ribs (with bone in), eggplant with garlic sauce, beef chow fun and sweet and sour soup (perfect texture of vegetables and tofu) and boiled pork dumplings. The staff is very nice! I always order here when I want to just relax and eat instead of cook.
