China Palace

Love the luch specials, fast service with frendly customer service, great tasting food that will fill you up

Been coming to this place for Lunch Specials for years now.
It’s one of my most favorite Chinese lunch specials in Fairfield.
With soup, salad, fried rice, entrée of choice and fried wonton, you can’t go wrong here.
I love the walnut shrimp here but I must say they go a bit overboard on the batter leaving me with big pieces that turn in regular sized shrimps and lots of fried batter. I still love it though!

Literally been going here since I was sitting in a booster seat and now I’m 22 & still going. BEST CHINESE FOOD AROUND! Its traditional and DELICIOUS! You will not be disappointed.

Best Chinese food in solano. Specially the lunch specials. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Solid Chinese food. I didn’t understand the salad with the togo box, but I did like the heat from the Mongolian beef-​Not bad, not great. I received one soy sauce packet, one napkin and one plastic fork.

My husband and I been coming here for years .The food is amazing and excellent. Best Chinese food in town. Never a disappointment every time… best chicken with string beans …

This place used to be very good overall. My old office was around the corner from China Palace and we would eat there once a week or so. The food is still pretty good… but the portions are far from great.
I’m not looking for 8 pounds of food or anything, but I shouldn’t leave hungry after spending 9 bucks on lunch. My usual Chinese place is Frank & Yuens, and I cannot even finish more than half of my lunch special there.
I hate sounding petty, but for 9 bucks I should not have to have a snack an hour later.

I recently took my children here. I have only been a few times, but I have always been happy with the service and quality. The lady serving us treated us like friends, not customers. She is very sweet. The won ton soup is perfect, the kids had three bowls each. I will defiantly be back.

Let’s keep this simple. Prices were ok. Servings were small. Food was ok. Service wasn’t up to par.
Am I coming back? Probably not.

I have honestly been going to China Palace since I was in High School. My parents introduced me to this place. It was called Lucky’s before they bought the restaurant. I am now 41 and still go here! I have never found a better Chinese restaurant. We travel from Vacaville to Fairfield whenever we have Chinese because it is SO good. Potstickers to die for, everything is DELICIOUS! I have never had a bad meal here EVER. I really like Amy the waitress, she is super friendly and knows our order before we even tell her! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants some scrumptious authentic Chinese food. I used to work at Second Time Around and would get a carton All the time during my lunch time. I have introduced many of my friends and all my family to this place and they ALL AGREE!

Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, practically everything on their menu. I have been going there since my parents too me here as a teenager. Locals know this is the pace to go.

Ordered the General’s Chicken and the General must have been mad. Batter on chicken fried extra hard, left most on plate. Recommended by a friend, bad choice. Cute and small. Only customers inside, during time there only one pick up and this was 1:30pm. Will not try again.

Don’t get me wrong, customer service was great, but the Chinese food was alright.
After trying so many local Chinese restaurants in the Fairfield area, this wouldn’t be my go to spot. I ordered the mongolian beef lunch special that came with a peanut sauce salad, orange, and a piece of fried wonton. Also, there was a sweet and sour hot soup on the side. Portions are decent, but the quality of the food is «A-​OK.» The sweet and sour hot soup didn’t do justice for me today, I felt like I tasted more spice and sour than the sweetness complementing the flavors. On the other hand, the mongolian beef lunch special was presented nicely. However, after taking a bite into my mongolian beef with fried rice, I felt the texture was a bit to oily for me, but it had a nice spicy kick to it. The peanut sauce salad with an orange tastes great, and the piece of fried wonton was crispy how it’s supposed be.

Perfect Friday night pickup for the family!
We enjoy the chow mein and walnut shrimp!

Where’s the beef? I ordered beef fried rice. Other than the lack of protein, the beef, the rice was good. I also ordered the chicken chow mein and it was filled with lots of chicken.
Maybe next time, I’ll order plain fried rice with a side of beef.

My in-​laws love this place. It’s the only take-​out Chinese that they ever order. Normally, I’m okay with it. But last night it got me sick.
I’ve definitely had better Chinese food before. The Mongolian beef here is pretty good. The walnut shrimp has too much sauce on it sometimes but its decent.
I ended up on the golden throne for a good 20 minutes because of eating here last night. Its all good, I got caught up on my newest Maxim subscription. I am willing to give this place another go, I’ll just be cautious next time.

The only reasons why I come here is because it is within walking distance from my job and there aren’t many Chinese places to choose from in Solano. The décor looks like a dive straight from the 1980’s. The lunch specials are reasonably priced and the food comes out very quick. However, it is just mediocre Chinese food. If this place was located anywhere else, I would not eat there.

Came here and ordered take out lunch. Had orange chicken, fried rice.
It came with a chicken salad and a little fried wonton
Orange chicken was crispy and perfectly sweet. The fried rice kind of had a funny taste to it. I will assume its bulk made for the lunch hour and Im willing to give it another chance.
Still looking for a favorite chinese food spot locally. but I’m sure I’ll be back

I’ve been here a few times because this so happens to by my grandma’s favorite Chinese food. She tells me it reminds her of Chinese food in Brooklyn when she was a kid. So every time I visit her, we go to China Palace. Every single time.
The food is okay. I’ve had better Chinese food, but I give it a pass because it’s Fairfield. I never really put Fairfield up high on the restaurant totem pole so this hole in the wall place made me rethink that sentiment.
It’s a very, very tiny restaurant so there’s not a lot of seating. If you’re coming in with a huge group, I’d try to call ahead or go elsewhere. There’s not that much seating to accommodate you.
The service is very quick, but the servers aren’t the friendliest. They’re not rude, but they’re not welcoming.
What I have noticed about this place is that they consistently undercook the rice and overcook the rice. It’s never just right. I’ve been here 4+ times over the past year and it’s never been cooked correctly. I’ve eaten very gummy rice to very crunchy rice and both were just nauseating.
Here is my review of the food that I’ve tried in my past visits:
x Zesty Hot and Sour Soup: The thickness of this soup ultimately varies. Sometimes it’s ultra thick and sometimes it’s not thick at all, but one thing is always consistent: it’s definitely extremely sour. There literally is no heat to this dish, but by my grandma’s standards it is spicy.
x Shrimp with Lobster Sauce: This my grandma’s favorite dish. When she eats it her eyes light up and she gets a big smile. They definitely offer you a very large portion with a lot of shrimp. I mean, for $ 11 you better shovel all the shrimp you can on that bad boy. The lobster sauce is. okay. You have a hint of a lobster taste to it and that’s pretty much it. The dish itself is okay, but nothing to write home about.
x Orange Beef: I nearly died when I had this. The flavor was ridiculous overpowering and I had such a hard time eating the beef that I had to stop halfway through and drink some water because it was orange-​tangerine overload. It was kind of sickeningly tart. I couldn’t finish the rest of the beef and refused to take it home. I would have just thrown it out if I had gotten a to-​go box.
x Lemon Chicken: Yes, the tried and true. My most sought after Chinese dish as a kid. The chicken is flaky, crispy, with a hint of lemon. You genuinely couldn’t taste the lemon the past few times I’ve gotten this dish, but the chicken was tender so I gave it a pass.
x Chicken with Broccoli: Sometimes I make the natural assumption that most dishes come with what is described in the title. Here, my assumption was wrong. Chunks of chicken, a very tart sauce, and 1 piece of broccoli. Mmmm can you taste all that broccoli? Nope!
All in all: if you don’t have high expectations, China Palace can be an amazing Chinese restaurant in your area, but if you expect more for the price you have to pay, this place will do nothing but disappoint.

Their Mongolian Beef was prepared in the classic manner, a little spicy with great taste. They appeared to have trimmed all the fat from the beef, as should be typical with Mongolian Beef.
The kids loved their Pork fried rice. They provide a larger than normal portion. The food is definitely worth the fairly cheap price!
We’ve also had their General’s Chicken. A great spicy garlic sauce coating bite sized pieces of chicken. A large portion of great chicken goodness. The kids may have liked this more than Orange Chicken.
This is our new Fairfield Favorite for Chinese food! Well deserving of the full 5 star rating.
