King Palace Restaurant

I have been to this restaurant several times with friends. I am never disappointed. Excellent Dim Sum. Very fresh vegetables. It gets pretty loud and crowded which is a testament to the good fresh food. Staff are very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place if you want good Dim Sum.

Went here with family for dim sum. It's in a random strip mall. Parking is very compact. Even within the lines, I had to squeeze out of the car.Upon entering, it's definitely a venue-like space with a ton of family-style tables with a lazy Susan. We got seated fairly quickly towards the front corner of the restaurant.The dim sum carts came when we got seated and we ordered a few things. That's when it went downhill.The carts never frequented that corner of the restaurant again. Even the tables near us were looking around trying to get somebody's attention. One table even decided that they would just get the water pitcher and refill themselves. Lots of tables ended up leaving.We waited. And waited. And waited some more for the dim sum carts. They catered to the larger groups towards the back and middle of the restaurant. Makes sense, but could have been better service-wise on that end. The time one of the carts did come, it was practically empty.We ended up flagging someone down to just order and get it to us. That didn't even come and we double checked a couple times.I got full just waiting. We found someone to order some take-out. Even that took at least 20 minutes. And we waited in case the carts came around and we'd order a few other items. The hostess finally came to us and asked if we ordered to-go. She probably noticed what was going on and the seemingly bored and annoyed faces. She tried with some small-talk, but just the wait for any of the carts to frequent the front corner of the restaurant was tiring and hunger-inducing.

The steamed bao almost have no meat. Just some pink cornstarch jelly. The siumai is suspect, i don't know what they put in it.I dont't recommend this place. It is an insult to your palate. This place looks like a type of place that will recycle left over food and turn it into siumai because of the greed for money. Stay away.

This is our go to dim sum place, all the time. I have only been here for dim sum so I will only comment on the dimsum. It's never full when I go and it's a big restaurant so we're able to get a table fairly quickly. They still have the rolling carts but if you want a specialty item, you'd have to order. It seems like there's some secret menu that I didn't know about that my parents order that's really good such as the durian puffs and shrimp filled rice rolls. Its an older restaurant but the dimsum is legit, so i don'tmind. It is fairly inexpensive compared to the other dim sum places in sacramento.

I came to King Palace since my usual spot for dim sum was disappointing on my last visit. I was a little hesitant to come here because I only saw three stars, but then looked at the pictures and seemed pretty good. My family and I were super happy to find a new spot for dim sum that actually didn't skimp on the ingredients in the dishes. Our waiter was super sweet and very kind when we requested special dishes that we did not see on the cart. The only item that I didn't really care for was the char siu bao, since the filling seemed mushy to me; however, my sister and daughter enjoyed them. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the mood for dim sum.

We always end up dining here whenever the neighbor Chinese restaurant has a wedding event going on. Of course, for someone who was used to eating on the other one, you will definitely end up comparing dishes and how they cook and the flavors. At first, we didn't really like the dimsum here that much compared to the other one but I guess, our palates got used to eating here already. The dishes here were good though. We just prefer the dimsum on the other one. The service here was definitely way better than on the other one but the other one looks more clean since it was recently renovated.

This place always serves the best dimsum. This is one of my favorite dimsum restaurants. There are others that are good in the area, but I feel this place offers authentic dishes and fresh HOT options. I've been to some dimsum restaurants that serve cold dimsum; or you order from a menu, which defeats the dimsum cart experience. They offer menu items as well as group pricing for their items. We ordered various dishes from the cart, and from the menu we had minced beef soup, salty fish fried rice, and crispy Df shrimp rolls . The service has improved so much over the years. The staff (although they don't speak much English) were very attentive and made sure we had hot tea and cleaned our empty trays allowing extra room on the table . I love this place and I hope you all do too!

TL DR: this place doesn't have the 5 star decor or the nicest bathrooms but it's one of the few places where you will find authentic Cantonese style dim sum in Sacramento. You will have rolling carts, people shouting in Cantonese, and an authentic experience. Food: My favorite thing about this restaurant is the fact that you can order traditional Cantonese style cuisines along with classic dim sum dishes. We normally order a stir fry greens (stir fry pea shoots with garlic), beef chow fun in their gravy sauce, and of course an assortment of dim sum staples. Elite tip for your first time trying dim sum: Har gap- shrimp dumpling Shu Mai - pork, shrimp, type dumplingBaos - assortment some are sweet like the pine apple bun (bolo bao) they have some with yellow custard and red bean paste. We like the ones with custard. Char siu bao - bbq pork buns come in two styles steam with a white soft bread or baked with a honey glazed style bun Dan tat- Egg tarts If you're feeling more adventurous or that you want to expand upon the basics: I. chicken feet (phoenix claws) texture isn't everyone's favorite thing as they gelatinous. You can eat the skin and tendons but spit out the bones II. Tripe (also a texture thing) a light salty ginger flavor profile with the way that it's cooked here III. Stuffed egg plants and bell peppers - assortment of meat with said vegetable IV. Deep fried taro puff with meat V. Bean curd roll There's plenty of other great items, it's really what you and your party prefer. Note dim sum isn't a non fat, keto friendly, gluten free type brunch. The meal will be greasy, salty, and what you expect from a traditional dim sum restaurant. Don't forget you have unlimited tea! Also most staff speak:Cantonese, Vietnamese, and mandarin. English may be a little limited, but the boss (who is a bad ass if you're watch the way she operates her restaurant) speaks english. I haven't seen anyone have issues ordering thing in English, you can also always point. I've been to other establishments and while their bathrooms are nicer/newer or they have more modern decor the flavor has remained the most authentic in Sacramento. You need to give this place a try if you're looking for dim sum!

It made me sad that they don't have higher ratings.Two of us went for dinner and did not order any dim sum. The food came out hot and fresh-- you can see steam in my picture! The Mongolian beef was very tender, but everything was good. For off-hours dim sum with no carts, they have a convenient picture album to help with ordering!Service was phenomenal: our waitress packed 6 dishes to-go for us, joked around a bit and made recommendations when ordering, said thank you many times throughout ordering and paying, and gave us free calendars on the way out.Inside looked like a typical Chinese restaurant with dragon decorations and red.Prices are reasonable.

I go when it's not busy. Service is fast and professional. The lot is huge and I noticed they have no heater or it wasn't on so it was cold inside. Their Chinese Food is TOP Tier compared to other Chinese spots. Portion sizes are plenty and the taste is phenomenal. This is my go to Chinese spot.
