China Palace

We are eating our food just as I am writing these review. You can imagine, writing this review is more enjoyable than the food that has been served. I ordered green curry, which is no where near a curry, let alone green. Other orders are cold, they are generic concoctions are over priced. On top of it, they do NOT have sushi for the next couple days, but there is no sign or pre warning about that. They just blurt it out after you are ready to order. Total disaster, scam chinese… Do not even try!

On my most recent visit my boyfriend and I ate dinner here and we shared the shrimp tempura roll and the spicy California roll and both were made perfectly and were delicious. We also got the chicken egg fu yung and the Tender Blossoms Stir Fry. I wasn’t fond of the egg fu yung but I tend to like my food spicier, however my boyfriend said that he enjoyed it. It’s nice that they also have a full bar and they offer several decent wines by the glass, and their alcohol prices are very reasonable.
I probably go to China Palace in Sewickley about 6 times a year, and overall I think that they do a really good job at offering a diverse menu filled with traditional Chinese offerings as well as the more standard «Americanized» offerings along with a nice selection of Thai food and a great/​delicious offering of sushi/​sashimi/​rolls. I’ve honestly never had a bad meal here — so for me, they have always been consistently good and the service continues to impress me — in fact the service has gotten even better in the last couple of years, and the remodeling has given the place a more modern, and expansive feel to it. The only thing that I will say is that even when you ask for something to be spicy (like 10 out of 10) more likely than not you can expect the spiciness to only be about a 5 so be sure to ask for the hot pepper oil or for some hot sauce on the side.

Chinese restaurant in Sewickley, PA. Friendly service and wide variety of menu offerings. The food is average, the prices are higher than other Chinese take out, but the portions are on the larger size. Would recommend other take out offerings in Sewickley.

Always quiet and never have to waIt for a table. Food is always fresh and hot. They just started charging for tea $ 2.00pp…that was surprising. They also charge if you want another bowl of white rice and there is an upcharge for brown rice. Their food is good — always fresh and hot whenever it comes to the table. They have new menus — maybe that’s why they started adding these extra charges. One dish is enough for two people to share and be full. Everything we’ve ordered was delicious.

I have ordered from here for 10 years and lately it has not been good. Today the Lo Mein was dry and tasted like dish detergent. Sushi grilled tuna tasted rubbery and the every other piece of the General tso chicken was tough. There isn’t much to choose from in Sewickley but time to try some alternatives.

The family went here on a Saturday night. It’s plenty big and roomy. There is even seating outside. The menu us extensive and they gave a no kidding sushi chef.
The service was good and the food was okay. Good but nothing to write home about. Actually the tuna sushi was pretty tasty. I had General Tso’s chicken which was not spicy at all but it was good.
Serving portions are big, definitely for two or take away the next day.
Kids found fried rice and cucumber & avo sushi rolls to dine on. Everyone seemed pretty happy.

Worst Chinese I have ever had. I ordered chicken and garlic sauce and what I received was a plate that was nearly entirely onions drenched in some bland brown sauce. It was completely flavorless. The pieces of orange rubber that were cleverly disguised as chicken did not manage to fool me.
Incredibly over priced. Avoid this place like the plague.

Everything was delicious! Service was great! Wasn’t very busy when we were there a few other tables nice and quiet and clean atmosphere. We got the general tso chicken, chicken and broccoli, egg rolls, and veggie lo mein and of course the oolong tea! This is the 1^st night I have ate Chinese in probably 8+ years! Definitely was a great meal to get me back to eating Chinese! We will be back!

That’s the lowest on here. I love to eat, and I can distinguish flavored, etc but this place by far the worst one I have ever been too. Take it for what it’s worth. I will not be coming here.

This place is an okay spot to grab lunch or dinner. All the other restaurants in Sewickley were closed since it was a Monday, so we settled for this. The food is very good, though the service is iffy and the items are slightly overpriced for Chinese food. It’s definitely not bad, but not great.

Walked out tonight… entered restaurant…3 employees looked at us and didn’t say anything… we stood there long enough to where I thought we might have to seat ourselves… finally a guy said I’ll be right with you… ok, I’m fine at this time because they are busy… the problem is when two separate people who came in after us for their take out orders. The guy and another employee started helping them. He again tells us just one minute and will be with us. He then starts making a drink for one of the tables… Somebody else walks in and the staff starts helping him with his takeout. Probably stood there for ten minutes and a total of 3 people and one table who came in after us were helped first. This is why we left and went to another restaurant. That was my first and last time there and I just moved in down the road (4 blocks). First impressions are everything.

Not sure why I keep giving this place chances. Very inconsistent.

Go elsewhere… food is mediocre. Ordered chop suey, and they bill me, take my money the tell me they’re substituting fried wonton for noodles. It was swimming in watery liquid. Beef and broccoli was oily and salty, and even the broccoli was yellow.

We had a nice experience here. Service was quick, food was good. Place is clean and dinner was good.
Would recommend this place

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Lou, the sushi chef, is so pleasant and a really great chef. Their lunch combo, $ 9.95 for 2 rolls under $ 6, is what I went with today. I tried their Green Roll with cucumber, avocado, and asparagus and their Shadyside Roll, which was like a Philly Roll. I liked the Green Roll better because it had the right «feel» for sushi; it was crisp and had a nice snap to it. The cream cheese just threw off the texture of the Shadyside Roll, but it was still good, I’m just not used to cream cheese in my sushi!
I sat at the sushi bar, so I didn’t get to experience the tables or the service there, but Lou was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. It did seem like they were doing a decent business for lunch. When I worked in Sewickley, a lot of my co-​workers would come here. It’s probably for the best that I waited until after I left Sewickley to experience China Palace, otherwise I’d be here every week.

WORST SERVICE EVER!!! First of all it took us 15 minutes just to get a waiter and when he finally did come over he said — well I guess I’ll take your order. Then he brought our appetizers and said — oh I forgot your drinks… then he brought the wrong food and didn’t ask if we wanted our actual order — we had to tell him to switch it up… rice was cold — food not so great… plus we were celebrating a birthday and had a coupon and he almost didn’t want to honor the coupon cause it wasn’t the actual birthday — and then to top it all off — NO FORTUNE COOKIES… do not go there — go to Asian Star instead!!!

China Palace is a Sewickley staple restaurant– at one point I ate here almost every week. The food is still great– I just live in California now.
Fried and steamed dumplings are great, Singapore rice noodles, and kung pow chicken are all worth ordering. ALSO wontons in hot sesame sauce– so delicious.
Wait staff is always wonderful and helpful! Doris the owner is a great lady.

My visit was so bad that we didn’t even eat our food and went for wings…
The service was horrible. I never thought it possible to mess up General Tso Chicken but it was inedible. The place smelled household cleaner and was empty.
I was terribly disappointed. I went there many times in the past but it has been quite some time. Not sure if there is new ownership but whatever the change it is very bad.

I was pleasantly surprised by the sushi here. I thought, this far from the city there would be no way that the sushi would be good, or even edible. But, I went for it anyways and was rewarded for my adventure. Everything was fresh and tasty, although they didn’t give us exactly what we ordered… Meh, it was good anyways.

I came in for a quick meal and ordered the triple delight.
The pro’s:
— Service was great
— The restaurant was clean
— The price was good
The meh’s:
— Food was bland (I ordered my meal to be extra spicey)
Overall — I will be back to give it a second chance.
