China Palace Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

Always loved this place. Have been eating here for 15+ years before the protective window at the ordering station (which saddens me, how the neighborhood changed n the class of people have made hard workers like them fear for their safety and being robbed) was there. Once in a blue I will order take out but I usually have them deliver. Lately, I get the sense that many of the people that they ate delivering to do not tip the drivers. Up until a few years ago I never felt that but I do now. When I tip them a $5 bill for a $30 chev, they are overjoyed. That to me is a sign that people are not tipping them. That is tacky and classless. It only shows me that their recent clientele has changed and they don't often go out to a sit down restaurant with proper cutlery and linen table cloths. Tipping is not city in China. 18% is what they say people should leave normally but 20% is what people normally leave that go out for a sit down dinner and are not cheap. Yes it's only a delivery and 18% should be sufficient especially because the price of gas is through the roof. Not to mention that they arrive in a extremely timely fashion. The food is as hot as it is when it comes out of the frying pan. Have some class and treat them the way you would want to be treated if you were surviving off of delivering...

The rice could be better and they could give more I don't know why the wings are so small. But the food was ok. The rice tasted a bit weird. One amazing thing about this Chinese food restaurant is that they actually accept credit cards. This is a scientific breakthrough I'm telling you guys!! This restaurant earned itself a 3rd star just because of that in itself. But yea let's get that food portion tasting better and looking better. Their hospitality sucks though. I never see anyone there or in any Chinese food place working with a smile on their face. It's just hard work, chop chop chop and OKAY ANYTHING ELSE? No smiles. Ever. It's very heart breaking, and it just sucks. You wanna get some Chinese food but you can't trust the Chinese store or the employees in it. The English is very poor and they only shout out orders in their native language. They've been here for years and still don't practice speaking English at the workplace....

We were craving some good Chinese food so bad and saw this place and thought it would be good and boy were we wrong! Their food is expensive and it was old! The yellow rice was hard and tasted funny, the chicken wings you could tell had been there for a long time, they too tasted funny. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and the sauce was a dark redish brown color and tasted terrible (its supposed to be bright orange red) the chicken was super hard and old! I also bought 2 egg rolls but dumped them because those too were probably old as well and my husband's noodles weren't noodling 😒 first...
