Oriental Palace — Restaurant in Las Cruces

First of all, Iet me go on record by saying this is the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever seen! My order was a call in / take-out, I arrived at the restaurant 45 minutes after my call in and I still had to wait an additional 35 minutes. While waiting on my order, I noticed no one in the restaurant had food nor drinks on their table. I ask the waitress why no one had food on their tables and she said they have a lot of call in orders which was placed before the customers arrived. I called my husband to let him know I was still waiting on my carryout and if I should go somewhere else because I was running out of patience. I was just getting ready to leave when the waitress informed me my order was ready. When I got home my family and I set down to have dinner and the food was the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. The Mongolian beef was full of onion and bell pepper with very very little beef, the fried rice had no flavor the egg rolls was just batter, I have no idea what was inside, the sweet and sour pork was a total joke. This restaurant does not need to be in business, they have poor customer service, nasty food and the restaurant needs a face lift. I rate...

The dining area was small but clean. Service was friendly and easy to talk to, but the food was lacking. The egg foo young was over cooked and the gravy was bland, there version of Chow main is stir fried cabbage and meat with crispy rice noodles the ones that are like asian potato chips. Which tasted ok but was not chow main. I had the sesame chicken which was ok but the sauce was not sesame and was only served with rice. So 8 pieces of chicken and a small bowl of rice was $8. I could have gone to Panda Express and had 3 main items and a pile of rice for the same price. Plus I made the mistake of ordering fried on fried. The fried rice was poor, no egg no veggie and with a sad taste to it. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but I will not come here again to find out. This place used to be amazing when I was a kid, now its a pale shadow of what...

This is a very nice little hidden place. It's a seat yourself place and that's what I did when I arrived. There was what appeared to be the owner at the front when I entered and sat down. I sat there while the owner walked around looking for something and never acknowledge my presence. She then disappeared into the back and about 5 minutes later a young lady the waitress comes from the kitchen area and says she will be right with me. I'm not one for complaining but any staff member should greet everyone who walks thru the the door. I did order my regular chicken chow mein and it was very good. But the fact that I was completely ignored for the first ten minutes while in this restaurant makes me not want to go there again which I don't...
