Every time I’m in town I make sure to hit China Palace at least once, but if I’m being honest I would go there as many times as my family will let me! The Mongolian beef is an abundant portion and some of the best I’ve had. Super tender, tons of flavor. If you want to feel like you’ve had your veggies, pair the Mongolian beef with mu shu vegetables. They’re super fresh, a nice little crunch and also an abundant portion (that will last you a couple days for lunch after!). This is my favorite combo, but honestly I’ve never had anything I didn’t thoroughly enjoy here!

The food was difficult to enjoy due to its poor flavor and tough texture. The customer service was also disappointing. While the restaurant has a charming atmosphere, it’s ultimately not worth the time or money.

I have never not tipped before nor wanted to give less than 1 star. The service tonight was less than superb to say the least. I’ve been here a few times before with no issues but tonight nobody wanted to help my family. We were ignored from the time we walked in til the time we walked out, despite asking several times how long the wait would be. We did not receive water for 10mins after being seated and our server walked by our table many times helping everyone around us, even clearing dishes and packing other out while we ate our food with dry mouths. I had to take our empty glasses to the cashier to request water. The waiter told me to ask him next time as if we have to ask for the lovely service EVERYONE else received. Needless to say we were thanked nor did our waiter say goodnight while he watched us walk out.
The food is amazing and I will continue to order because good Chinese food is hard to come by in Novato but will not be dining in.

We go there a lot. Excellent food. Service is always varied. From fantastic to rude. This time we had to keep trying to get staff attention for service. Was sad.

Salt and pepper fish and Mongolian lamb are my go-tos. They’re both consistently delicious. Their moon cakes around the autumn Moon Festival are great as well.

The restaurant looked great when I got there to pick up my order. I asked for a 5 p.m pickup time and they said they’d be ready at 5:09, but they weren’t. The staff seemed a bit flustered and the person who was supposed to help me was on the phone. It took another 15 minutes for my order, and when they finally brought it out, they didn’t say anything and just handed it to me. We ate it, and it was kind of bland, but not terrible. I probably won’t go there again for that price.

The quality of the food was appalling. Broccoli beef was three pieces of beef and the rest was broccoli. The sauce was thick and very sweet. The vegetables were old.
The service was not good as well .

We just picked up an order over $100 and the food was terrible, mushy mushy green beans And so salty, we couldn’t eat them. The carrots in the sweet-and-sour chicken has some chemically flavor to it. Just really disappointing when I called to talk about it The guy was rude, Acting like he didn’t understand what that Meant. Ordered in house and eaten at the restaurant. Food was good but the tonight service and the food tonight was disgusting.
