3.4from 402 reviews on Google
Despite some delicious dishes, the restaurant's reputation suffers due to consistently reported poor service and automatic tipping practices. China Palace Restaurant has a mixed atmosphere; while some customers appreciate the authentic and fresh food, many report experiencing rude and unwelcoming service from staff, particularly an older male server. The inconsistency in service quality leaves diners feeling uncomfortable and dissatisfied.
