China Palace Restaurant — Restaurant in Lockhart

Wish there was a no star review. I went to eat with my friend and husband. Night started out fine then I let the waitress know we were waiting for my husband. She started to make some ugly remarks like “ rack up the bill he’s paying right”. Then when my husband who has worked a long day and is dealing with a heavy loss got there she had told him “ I’ll bring your drink back as long as you made us wait.” Then at that point I had asked for the check. Then when she brought us the receipt she had said “ here the valentines fortune cookies for just you he can have the plane ones because he’s not paying.” At this point we had walked out. I went back in to talk to her and told her that was not OK on how to talk to people. She said if you don’t wanna talk to me, that’s all you have to say and if y’all aren’t nice people then don’t eat here. I really do pray for her that she finds kindness and learns not to judge. I hope that whatever pain she’s dealing with heels so she learns how to treat people. Highly do not recommend that kind of...

Not worth the price. Buffet is only 11 am - 2 and if you waste food they charge you extra $. NO DINNER BUFFET. Skimpy place where they are very obviously only interested in taking your money for mediocre food. Most dinner plates come with steamed or fried rice. Except the Fried rice is just steamed rice with soy sauce. Oh and NO SUBSTITUTIONS. NO EXCEPTIONS. Why because they just have that one option. Steamed rice with or without sauce. The egg rolls are ok. Everything is the same few things just mixed up in a few different ways so the options are very limited. Most of the food is bland. Spicy food isn’t spicy. Not worth the $20/person price. I’m disappointed since I said let’s try it. Read the other reviews. Definitely seems like the kinda place where they would give you old food to save themselves some money. There were only two tables occupied. You would think the service would be better because it’s not even busy. Now I understand why it’s not...

Hands down the worst Chinese food buffet I have ever had. I arrived for lunch at 11 just after they opened and there is no excuse for the food they were serving. I would understand if I caught the last bit of their buffet before they closed, but this was literally as they opened the door! There was a weird taste to the vegetable chicken as if the chicken in it had gone sour. The lo mein was made out of what appeared to be linguine or fettuccini noodles and tasted like chicken bulion instead of anything close to lo mein. The Chinese biscuits were clearly burned in the fryer since they were almost solid black. I thought I would have one of the chocolate chip cookies on the buffet for dessert however it exploded into tasteless stale dust when I bit into it. I am pretty sure those cookies just sit out there even when the place closes to be that stale. The only saving grace keeping it from a 1 star review is that they had a decently...
