China Palace Rockton

Friends took us to China Palace last night. This is an old school Chinese restaurant. The decor reminds me of a Wisconsin supper club with the wooden ceiling and beams. The bar area is large with lots of stained glass windows: pretty, warm and inviting in a old lodge kind of way. We started with cocktails and crab rangoons and egg rolls. These tasted homemade not just dumped from a bag with faint taste of Chinese five spice lingering in the egg rolls like I remember. The duck and mustard sauces on the table were also homemade. I really like the duck sauce which was a purée of fruit with a touch of spice and slightly chunky. I really appreciate the complimentary hot tea at the table too. Our table of 5 each chose a different entree: Cantonese plate (like a mixed grill sweet and sour), shrimp lovers delight, shrimp with lobster sauce, beef curry and sweet and sour pork. All the dishes were solid and we enjoyed them, leaving very little left. A good dinner all around with very good service.

We found this place online and thought to try it. The China Palace is in an old supper club, which is cool. Ordered three things here- Jade Beef, Chicken Chop Suey and crab rangoons. Crab rangoons had a good crisp to it, but was very garlic tasting. Would have liked less garlic and more cream cheese. Chicken chop suey my wife had was good, but had a lack luster flavor and chicken was a bit dry. Jade Beef- excellent flavor- just needed some more sauce in the box- very weird that t did not come with rice. Overall, I'd go back, but maybe switch up what I get.

Best old school Chinese food around. Great family dinners to share different dishes.

Like a favorite old jacket a little tattered but still pleasing. My replacement of Chen's.

Family went to CP Xmas eve. Drinks , service and food - great! The egg rolls were crispy and the General Tao chicken was very good. We sat in the bar area, and the old charm - stained glass windows were much appreciated by all. Lively atmosphere to celebrate Christmas Eve. We had an early reservation and were served promptly before it got too busy. Thank you for a great evening!

Went there on New Year's Eve food came out sporadic and late. We had the bus boy bag it up to go home. We left a $10 tip and gave it to the bus boy to give to the waitress which we only seen once she chased us out into the parking lot Saying no tip no tip. I told her I gave it to the boss boy to give to you I just couldn't believe it.

First time eating at China Palace; the food left a lot to be desired. Very disappointed!!!!

It needs to be remodeled or repaired. Worst food I have had in a long time. The people are all very nice.

I realize Christmas Eve probably wasn't the perfect time to order food from China Palace. It was some of the worst food I've had in a long time. The egg rolls were almost burned and my Sweet and Sour Pork was so over done that when I tried to put it with a knife it broke apart rather than cutting. The breading fell off and I had hard lumps of pork left. Very disappointed. The food was hot and the rice was good.

The eclectic atmosphere has a rich celebrity history. The cuisine didn't disappoint, every thing we had was fresh. Do it if you enjoy good Chinese food!
