China Palace

I've been coming here for years, even before the management change (if there was one). It's a solid spot my family and I go to occasionally. On Sundays, it's never too busy and usually get served fairly quickly. The "old, cranky" server was nice to us one day, always tending to our table without asking. But recently, he was unexpectedly "rude" but i honestly think he's just at that age where he wants things done. However, he grew kinder as the afternoon went on, which was weird. The food itself is great. We always order the sweet and sour fish fillet, salt and pepper chicken wings, house fried rice, and combination vegetables, all which are consistent each time. If you want good food and fast service, come here. But if you don't give grace to "rude" servers, you might wanna stay away lol. We don't mind and find it kind of funny.

Originally was hoping to go to the Thai place next door, but it was closed, so this seemed like the next best option. The place didn't seem very sanitary, plus there was no a/c. I was literally sweating while dining and was served hot tea. Lol.I ordered the spring rolls and although the outside was crunchy, the filling was a soggy mess, which was off-putting. For my entree, I ordered the basil chicken and again felt that the texture was off. Tasted alright, but I couldn't get past the soggy chicken and gelatin like sauce. Service was good, as I was only one of two people dining in. All in all, I probably wouldn't come back.

Hidden gem in Milpitas that has been here for years. No frills Chinese spot with consistent food. Open late for those late night munchies. Cash only !My go to dishes:Salt & Pepper Fish: white flaky fish with a light batter - I'm usually not a fried food person but this one smacks. Fish is never dry and that fry is fairly light and not heavy on the breading Ong Choy sautéed in garlic (idk what the menu item is lol) I just ask for Ong Choy and they know. They don't have this all the time so my alternates are pea sprouts or gai lan.Nothing beats some nicely sauced and sautéed veggies to give some crunch & greens to the mealSalted fish & chicken fried rice: that smokiness from the wok gives it a nice flavor. Not too salty so goes well with the other entrees Others I've tried:Pork chops: they're popular here but not my fav - a bit too sweet for me Chow fun: no complaints on this one, also love the wok flavors on it.ServiceUsually there's an older Asian man working the front. He may seem not very hospitable but he's giving Asian uncle / grandpa cut the bs attitude and I'm not mad at it. He's actually very very nice and I always look forward to seeing him. Ambiance No frills Chinese spot, lots of folks come for take out.

Would give it zero stars if I could. I don't expect great service from Asian establishments but the worker was outright rude. There were a few tabels but it wasnt particularly busy. We should have known as we went up to him to get a table only to be ignored. After we were ready to order I read out the plate numbers that we wanted in cantonese only to be reprimanded by the waiter. He was mumbling so I couldn't exactly understand what he was unhappy about at first. The only thing I made out was that hes griping I should tell him the name of the dishes instead of the numbers and to say it fast so he can put in the order. After he took our order we changed our mind and told him to cancel and we left. No customers should be treated like that. Really shocked to be treated that rudely. He def shouldn't be the one working in customer service if they want to stay open.

Food had soo much flavor. Every single dish, which is slightly rare. Usually fried rice or chow mein is mid but I had absolutely no complaints as a chef and foodie myself. Most of the low reviews complain about the older man being rude but he was extremely nice to us. A lot of people think because a lot of foreigners are direct, that they're rude but we tipped him $30 just for his service. The restaurant was clean and quiet. We live 2 hours away and originally wanted the koi place upstairs but I'm so glad we decided to leave (we didn't get a server after sitting 15 minutes) but it turned out for the better.

China Palace is a good place that consistently turns out tasty food.I like that they are open super late. This allows you great flexibility to dine in or for takeout.Simple decorations with lots of pictures of the dishes from their menu. It's a fairly small restaurant so a big party would be hard to accommodate.

One of our favorite Chinese spots in the area. Ordered the salt and pepper squid and combo fried rice which is always perfectly crispy and salted. Also noteworthy are the salt and pepper wings, steamed chicken with soy sauce, and the Chinese broccoli. Contrary to other reviews, we appreciated the service here. It was a bit warm inside and the worker was constantly coming by to refill our ice waters which was greatly appreciated!

It was 8 pm that we walked in, only 2 other tables with people dining in. We were seated promptly, there was a lone waiter working the restaurant. Placed our order, food came out pretty fast. Portion size on the smaller end. We had the beef chow fun, salted fish and chicken fried rice, garlic pea sprouts, salt and pepper fish fillet, salt and pepper chicken wings, spare ribs over rice, and the sweet and sour chicken. The fried rice was pretty good, on par with other Chinese places. The salt and pepper chicken wings were drowning in oil. The salt and pepper fish fillet was pretty good. The spare ribs over rice was highly disappointing, it was very bland and they basically just spooned the spareribs and the sauce over rice and it was placed in a steamer and served. Waiter was abrupt and Kinda rude but it's because he had loss of hearing so he's acting the way he is. Overall, food is ok but very affordable.

The food was just okay, and the portions didn't feel worth the price. The atmosphere was fine for a restaurant, but my experience was a bit confusing. I ordered with the server, paid, and sat down, only to be given my food in to-go packaging. I decided to just open it and eat there, but the server then asked if I was dining in, seemingly assuming I had placed a to-go order. They later brought the check again and strongly hinted that I should tip more since I was eating in, even though my food was served in to-go packaging.

This review is for a to go order experience. Major props to this restaurant for opening extremely late. FOOD:-Honey Walnut Shrimp: yummy, creamy, and flavorful. Sweet and savory lightly coated between all the shrimps.-Mongolian Beef: one of the best I've had in so long. Soft, tender, and juicy beef. Packed with all the flavor on there. Def recommend getting this dish-Salted Fish Fried Rice: a must when ordering from here. For $50 total between the 3 dishes, so worth it to get esp they close really late when you are craving for some flavorful Chinese food. Lots of parking around the restaurant.
