Noble Palace Chinese Restaurant

This place used to be better. The service is still fairly good but i think they've changed chefs. Also, they closed the lounge at the start of the pandemic although you can still get a bottle of beer in the dining room.

Craving mediocre Chinese food to go and not wanting to drive far, I scoured reviews for a quick spot. Noble Palace fit the bill. Ready in 15 minutes, our sweet and sour chicken, Mongolian beef and Szechuan chicken were all honestly just fine. A while back I worked at a Chinese restaurant that made their own sweet and sour chicken sauce with peppers and onions in it and I have searching for something similar everywhere I go. Unfortunately the sauce here is just the red stuff and weirdly had very little flavor, like not sweet at all. The chicken for it was odd too, I opened the box and almost thought we had the wrong order because it was almond chicken style sliced breasts instead of individually breaded chunks. I appreciate that the sauce and chicken were kept separate for this to go order as it would have been soggy by the time we got home. Mongolian beef was perfectly tender but so heavy on the onions. The best dish was the Szechuan chicken. So glad I went light on the spice because my 1 1/2 year old devoured it. We got a healthy amount of rice and service was great. For a mediocre Chinese restaurant this lived up to my expectations and satisfied a craving. I'd go back with the same low expectations.

Used to love their food but now the almond chicken is more bread than chicken with a bland very yellow sauce. $14.25 for a box of Mongolian beef that was 90% onions with only a few shavings of beef. I hope that in 2024 they will improve this.

This place has the best Chinese food this side of San Francisco's Chinatown. Yes it is that good. Their salt & pepper pork is to die for as well as their subgum chicken chow mein. If you found this place you are lucky.

Its been awhile since i ordered from here so here's updated menu prices and seems like people locally don't like to review so this place doesnt get rated often. I ordered to-go and when i got there on a Monday night plenty of people are picking up to-go orders, so thats good, people still like this place :) I ordered honey walnut shrimp and salt & pepper pork, ofcourse by the time i get home (10min) they arent as crispy, so i warmed up my salt&pepper pork in my air fryer, and its crispy again! Honey walnut seem to be small portion? Or maybe its normal, there's probably around 13-16 prawns and good flavor/sauce. Both are good and tasty. I'm glad we still have this Chinese restaurant here in marysville :)

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Talk about colorless, flavorless food! It reminded me of the pictures of food some places have where the picture is sun faded. The only thing I could really taste was the old oil used to cook the almond chicken in. I need to mention the chicken chow mein. The noodles were seriously al dente. Almost RAW and stiff. Did I say CHICKEN chow mein? Yes! That's what was on the menu but there wasn't an ounce of chicken in it. NONE! The hot and sour soup... well, it was a blob of flavorless, over gellified something or other. Like it had way too much xanthan gum which is used to thicken foods. It's not good for the gut but they use it anyway. It's cheaper than the usual corn starch they used to use. In any case, I think the only people that like this stuff are the old folks who have been going there for a hundred years. That's pretty much the only people that were in there. And they must not have ever ventured out to try other Chinese restaurants because this place is the absolute bottom of the barrel. Not someplace I'd ever go again. Not even if it was the only place left on the planet. I'm not Chinese but I can cook far better Chinese food than these people. The ambiance... if you can call it that, was that of a 1970's smorgasbord in downtown Los Angeles. If you've ever been to one you know what I mean. My recommendation is to not eat here if you like your food to have flavor. Just don't do it!

Jeez, these reviews are polarized. You have to be unbelievably bad for me to consider writing a one star review. This isn't like that. I'd call this....aggressively mediocre. Maybe two stars. Maybe three stars. I'll give it two because even if I judge it as American-Chinese food, it's kinda lackluster. Okay, maybe I'm not that far from some of the one star reviews. The scoville level is even lower than average. We ordered the Mapo Tofu as two stars spice and fried tofu as three stars. I'd rate both of them at about negative ten. If I was eating here by myself, I would've asked if they have a six star spice option or a Sichuan spicy option. (Well, if I was by myself, I wouldn't have come here to eat at all, but that horse is already dying I think). Their customer base is filled with weak and soft palettes though, so I should probably forgive that. What is harder to forgive would be the texture of the tofu, complete lack of umami, and suspicious peas and carrots. Is this......Great Value steam bag peas and carrots?! No, I must be overreacting, right? I can't say there was a single dish I liked. The hot and sour soup was likewise about negative five spice and one star sour. The veggie mix was both oily and flavorless. I'm gonna start judging Chinese restaurants by whether or not they have tung ho. Hah. Even the egg foo young was objectionable. I feel like American-Chinese egg foo young usually use a light brown colored gravy-ish sauce? This was a dark yellow cheese-looking sauce that I found to be bland and worse than average. Out of everything, I guess I probably disliked the seafood thing the least. What was it called, unhealthy family or something? It's the same generically unsatisfying flavor, but it works better here. Tl;dr you could do worse than this, but I wouldn't recommend doing worse than this. LOL.

Ordered pick up and the food was hot and delicious. Got the honey walnut shrimp and green beans with garlic. We've gone here for years. Food is always tasty.

Been going here for 15 years. Best pork fried rice around, I've always loved going here thru out the years. The waitresses have always been nice, food comes out fast, and the prices have not changed very much. This place hold a lot of memories for not only me but my family as well. Will be back for more pork fried rice for sure!!!!!!!!

Do not eat here. There are plenty of other places and every one is better. This place is not bad but is probably the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The food looked odd, like the color was bleached out from sitting in the sun and although it tasted like Chinese food it barely had any flavor. Like if you could take out 1/2 to 3/4 of the flavor before serving it. Weird. Priced fine. Service good. Good, not so much
