This place is good. If you want a quick sit-in dinner, this place is great. The Chow mein is delicious. The staff are super friendly! My unwanted plates were always picked up, making more room at the table. I didnt notice they had soup section until I was leaving. Its right next to the ice cream machine fyi.

New owner and management, forget past reviews. Buffet is very good and a variety of choices. A must eat at restaurant. A great addition to our High Desert.

Ive been going to China Palace for 25 years, but sadly I will not be returning. We were the first customers on Saturday @ 11:00 a.m. believing everything to be fresh. Fresh it was. Fresh and tasteless. The so-called Asian food is now permanently gone. The newest owners do not know how to prepare Asian food at all. The one item that was okay was the fried shrimp. Do not ask about the rice or noodles. Egad! The green beans could have been okay had they been cooked a couple of more minutes, but they were more than al dente and again, flavorless. I decided I would eat a large plate of salad but the lettuce was limp, medium cool, and full of some strange stinky powdered cheese-type substance. Using the tongs I carefully mixed the lettuce up in hopes of distributing the white,Powery, smelly cheese and decided at least the dressing would cover up the smell and texture, but someone had watered both Ranch and Thousand Island dressing down which left both without flavor. Everyone at my table gave it a try and we all agreed. Flavorless and watery. The beets were warm and brown. Yuk. Such a drag. The once freshly made iced tea had some strange red substance added which turned it into an unrecognizable nonflavor which they have called Jamacian Tea. For two adults and two children, I was charged $80.00. Yes, you have read that correctly! I never went back for seconds because the food was so bad, and the kids each had one plate and they too declined more. Another eatery finally bites the dust. The final blow was the rude service. A good morning brought zero smiles, and zero responses. A loud thank you brought total silence with a stare.

The food tasted and looked like leftovers, no flavor not a big variety for a buffet,people who work there were nice. Place was clean..food needs to be fresh and a better variety. Will not be returning .

The new owner/management have really improved this place. The food is fresh & service is really good. They are planning to improve all aspects of the restaurant & are really on the way. Hubby & I were very satisfied.

This is one of our favorite Chinese Buffets. They have improved over the years in quality and cleanliness and the price is very reasonable. They have a large variety to choose from and they have also improved the desserts in quality and quantity. The workers are usually pleasant as well. My reason for 4 stars is I think they need an upgrade in the chairs, tables and decor. It just seems a little old and drab and can almost give it an appearance of being dirty when it really isnt. I also think they should play Chinese music instead of American pop tunes. Changing the music and giving the place an updated look would provide (I feel) a more pleasant ambiance and dining experience.

My normal Chinese fast food restaurant is Panda Express, but I decided to give this place a try as a different option. The restaurant is buffet style. There are a variety of dishes, but most of them are deep fried. The flavor is somewhat bland. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable. Parking is easy and convenient. While I might go back, this restaurant didn’t overwhelm me in any specific way.

Horrible food. Everything tasted awful. Everything was cold. It was 5:30 pm. Dinnertime. Fruit had a dry crust on it from sitting out too long. Deep fried shrimp was like mush inside. Very low quality. Never going back. This is not an area that can sustain a buffet. Old food. Terrible. I wouldnt eat here if they dropped the price from $15 to $5.

Needs more variety of food. Would’ve loved it if they had the teriyaki on a stick since it’s pretty standard for most Buffetts. I wish they’d bring back some good red wings they used to have back in the day.
