Reviews for China Palace Restaurant in Montecito, CA
My egg drop soup and cream cheese wontons were sweet because they add sugar to their food!! .... If you are diabetic like me,... that can be very dangerous. I requested a refund since my food was inedible and the woman became very defensive and rude.Instead of trying to find a solution to my genuine concern, she rudely spoke over me and took it very personally. I wastrying to explain to her that adding sugar to dishes that don't normally have it is counter intuitive. The cream cheesewontons should be on the dessert menu...not on the appetizer menu...and I've never heard of egg drop soup needing sugar....itwas gross. Read more
Very friendly and professional service. We were attended very quickly. Our food came in just a few minutes and was very good. I... had the Almond chicken, which was excellent. I also tried the Twice cooked chichen and I liked it too (a bit less, though). Read more
it was the best Chinese food I've ever had. Our host was so accommodating and friendly. it was a wonderful experience.
I had sweat and sour pork and my daughter had some fish. Both lacked flavor and we ate about 1/2 of our meals. We did not even... get our left overs to go. The staff was busy with another table, looked like they knew them, and gave us poor service, and itwas only us and that other table. We used a coupon so maybe they disliked that we did that?

The food here is amazing! Though you should be prepared to wait to be seated. The place is never really crowded but the lady in... charge of the front desk prioritizes making dumplings in the dining room that seating the people waiting. Read more
Very fast, good service and delicious food.
Excellent service! What a nice man. He greeted with a smile and helped me decide on my dish. Service was prompt. Food was... excellent and fast. We could hear the chef stir frying the dishes fresh for us. We had the Crispy Walnut Shrimp and the SeafoodChow Fan. The chow fan had a large mixture of seafood. Both excellent and a large quantity. Great stop along Coast VillageRoad! Read more
We’ve been dining here since it opened. Prior to our last visit, everything has been wonderful. Now, I am only guessing that... the owners may have changed because the food is not at all like it was before. Every single dish we ordered was BLAND ANDEXTREMELY SALTY. The hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour. It just tasted like it had zero seasonings with about a cup ofsodium! It made me gag. The other dishes were just as bad! Zero flavor and unbearably salty. ALL of it went straight into thegarbage. WASTED MONEY. I have never had Chinese food that was this inedible in my entire life. If you want better Chinese food,get a frozen dinner from any supermarket. Read more
