Very friendly and professional service. We were attended very quickly. Our food came in just a few minutes and was very good. I had the Almond chicken, which was excellent. I also tried the Twice cooked chichen and I liked it too (a bit less, though).

Chinese take-out is always hit or miss. I can’t remember the good time I had good Chinese and Santa Barbara certainly has limited Asian cuisine options. I think China Palace was a solid choice! We ordered on UberEats, so I’m sure it’s even better getting it fresh at the table. Portions were generous and flavor was good. A couple chewy pieces in the chicken. I’d definitely order again!

Excellent service! What a nice man. He greeted with a smile and helped me decide on my dish.

Both times I went it was dimly lit with tables that hadn’t been cleaned yet or with random items sitting on top of them. Just use warm-colored LED lights if you’re trying to save money. Also consider playing some music at a low volume. The combination of darkness and silence makes the experience a bit depressing.

Confused for a door dash driver upon walking in. Asked for a table and was told they were closed. Would suggest an update on your hours and perhaps a different approach to serving tan skinned individuals.

First time being there so this is based on one experience. Had the Kuang Pao Chicken. It was delicious. Clean atmosphere and good service. It seemed like the server was aware that I did not want to be bothered and was not coming around asking if I needed anything but when he noticed my glass of water was empty he did come over prepared with a pitcher of water to see if I wanted a refill. When I was done he was there to pick up the dirty dishes. Very attentive and respectful. Great place and price was reasonable. Parking is limited though. Or I may have parked in the employee parking because there was very few spots. But it’s a small family atmosphere.

We’ve been dining here since it opened. Prior to our last visit, everything has been wonderful. Now, I am only guessing that the owners may have changed because the food is not at all like it was before. Every single dish we ordered was BLAND AND EXTREMELY SALTY. The hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour. It just tasted like it had zero seasonings with about a cup of sodium! It made me gag. The other dishes were just as bad! Zero flavor and unbearably salty. ALL of it went straight into the garbage. WASTED MONEY. I have never had Chinese food that was this inedible in my entire life. If you want better Chinese food, get a frozen dinner from any supermarket.

The food quality was excellent. The service was attentive and professional. I recommend the green beans and crispy mandarin chicken.

I went to eat here with a very hungry stomach. The food was completely gross (wouldn’t even feed to my dogs). I found a piece of plastic in my chicken, which made me stop eating. The food tasted completely frozen. This was the worst restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. I would’ve rather eaten at Panda Express!!
