Reviews for Emperor's Palace Lacey in Olympia, WA
Fast service, friendly staff, very nice lunch deals, very clean interior and food was super yummy! Their lo mein is what makes... this restaurant shine. Soup of the day is also very well prepared, fresh, and delicious. Definitely coming back! There is also asmall hidden low key bar that is attached to this restaurant not annotated in google maps. Definitely will be trying out thatbar as well. Read more
My husband and I enjoyed dining here in years past so we stopped by on our way home for lunch. The dining area smelled of... overpowering disinfectant to the point of questioning my ability to eat inhouse, and the cleanliness of the restaurant as itwasn't a clean scent. It didn't seem to bother my husband so we stayed. Our food was barely warm upon arrival. As we began toeat, a few minutes in, I noticed one of my chopsticks was eaten away and covered with mold and grime, all the way down on oneside. When showing this to the waitress she merely said something like "Sorry, I'll check them from now on" and walked away. Iwas very discussed by the entire experience. I warn of eating here and definitely do not recommend. Read more
Really great food! The service is a little sketch, and the crowd in the lounge tends to be of the more mature type. Type.... However, if you're willing to overlook the service, and just go for the food, you will be very happy. The food is delicious. Theportions are ample. Read more
Wonderful Chinese restaurant! The menu option also includes selective American and Thai food as well. The spring roll is a must... with jasmine tea! Excellent customer service! Read more
I am a spice wimp so I can't address that. Service, temperature, portion size, atmosphere all good. Liked the fountain coming... in. Parking was easy. Wanted to see whole almonds on chicken and a little more taste variety. Close to 5 star but I'm picky Read more
We were excited to try Emperor's Palace. Every time we go past the place looks busy so went in. Old school entrance (vestibule).... Lively bar area, playing Karaoke when we were there so off to a good start. Customer Service was excellent. We were promptlyserved. We ordered the #7 (Orange Chicken and Sweet/sour pork) and #11 (General Tso's chicken, Almond chicken) dinner combos.Looked good on the plate (see pics) but we were underwhelmed. So-so Chinese. Pork fried rice didn't even taste like pork friedrice. It was in a pile formed by a cup. Strange. Also the chicken were the same and probably interchangeable. Just useddifferent sauces (Orange vs. General Tso's). Overall. 'meh'. For a price tag of nearly $40 can't see myself coming back. Forhalf the price, fresher and better tasting Chinese go to PANDA EXPRESS just down the street. If you are still wanting toexperience a finer dining Chinese experience I HIGHLY recommend INDOCHINE in the UW District of Tacoma. Have THEIR OrangeChicken instead. It will knock your socks off!

We had great service today for lunch. I believe she was the only waitress working and she handled a lot of tables. We ordered... combo dinners for lunch. I had the hot and sour soup and my friend started with the Beef and rice soup. Combo dinner #10, ShrimpLo-mein, teriyaki Chicken, pot stickers and fried rice. #5 came with Mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken, spring roll, andrice. We substituted extra Mongolian beef instead of the spring roll. All food was delicious. Read more
This is one of my favorite restaurants. It has some of the best Sweet & Sour Sauce with a unique array of foods for just about... anyone. It is one of the few places to get good wonton soup. They offer dishes you don't always see at other places in the areawho carry similar cuisine, but leave room for them to shine too. Always try to get a mix of different options with one of theirgroup options, Just to try them. They have great flavor combinations and sauces. I'm a big fan of the 3 mushroom 3, but theyalso have a number classic dishes to offer. With great delivery service to just about anywhere in Thurston County. However,nothing is better than dining in at Emperors palace for the ambience, the atmosphere, and the delicious smells. Read more
