I wish I could give it a 4.5 stars. The only thing I was wishing to have were crab rangoons. Other than that it was wonderful. Best Chinese that I have had in a Very long time. I got the egg roll with my lunch and it was light and mild. The hubby got the wonton soup which was nice (I feel as though it was a little too oniony for me but good). I chose the sesame chicken and fried rice. Really good. Best I have had. The chicken is tender and moist, best I have had at a Chinese restaurant, ever! The hubby got the cashew chicken and it was just as good. Fried rice was excellent as well. Good size portions for lunch. Not too much, just enough to fill you up! Service was amazing as well. Never had an empty water glass and the hot tea they give is relaxing and delightful especially on a chilly, rainy Pittsburgh day! We will certainly go back!

Recently moved into Wexford and had to find a new Chinese takeout place. The service and delivery time was very good. Unfortunately the food was over priced and to be honest not so good. Tried it a few times and the last time my Amazing Chicken was more Amazing Batter than anything. It's not the worst place to get Chinese food from. If it wasn't 't for the price I'm sure we would stick with it.

You know........There is something to be said about returning to a certain restaurant over and over through the years. Is it just habit? Or could it be that you may have stumbled on to some place special. I know it's the later. I have visited this restaurant on numerous occasions with family and friends. What a unique place. Regardless of what you order, you are in for a very enjoyable experience. Nice atmosphere. Owner always says hello. Friendly staff. And entrees that always satisfy. Pricing is fair. So the next time you need to find a place without the stress of not knowing what to expect, the China Palace is a smart choice.

Something has drastically changed. For years, this has been our favorite place for Sushi. Better than Tamari or Jimmy Wans. Really the best! and a very consistent product. Really has gone down hill in the past 6-8 months. Not the same high end product at a great price point and no consistency in how a specific role is made. I have tried calling the owner 3x with no response. Not surprising I guess as his other restaurants have closed. To say we are disappointed is an understatement. Time to find our new "just about every Friday night" place to get Sushi!

New ownership. Food not so good. Meat cut too thick. Sushi was also too thick and chewy as well as warm. Dough on dumplings was thicker than a pierogi. Mr. Chen sold it about a month ago. Might not go back.

By far, the best Chinese restaurant around. We have gone here countless times and always a great experience. Quality of food is amazing!

Very nice atmosphere and very fair prices. Received a large pot of hot tea and plentiful water refills. I had the schezwan shrimp and hot sour soup, both were good but could've been better; Portion size is equivalent to low prices. It was good, but not great. Would definitely go again to try other items

We go to this place almost every week, because they have the best Chinese Food in town! Mongolian Beef, Tender Blossom, and Chicken Lettuce Wrap always on our table. My daughter loves the Dragon Roll, and I enjoy the Beautiful Alaska Roll as we'll. And the Shrimp Lao Main so delicious, whole family love it. We will be continue to visit this place!!!

Decent spot for Chinese. The interior is small, but completely dipped in red, very vibrant. We have only gotten take out here. Prices are pretty much in line with what other joints are charging. Service is quick and somewhat friendly. Their food does seem to have a bit of a higher quality. Another plus, they know how to properly cook shrimp. They never overcook it to make it rubbery. And their rice even seems to be a bit more fluffy, never sticky. Our favorite dishes so far are Du Du beef with snow peas, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and mushrooms and General Tso's Shrimp. So when we are in the area, this place is a good go to place.

Best Chinese food in the area. The restaurant itself is always clean and well-maintained, the service is always friendly & overly accommodating, & the food is consistently delicious no matter what you order from the menu. What more do you want?

Moved to Pittsburgh recently and this is my favorite chinese palace. I've been to three of them so far, but the food is best here. Try the eggplant and spicy pepper chicken. Their convenient parking lot makes it easier to park for take out or dine in.

I came here on a Friday evening and it was pretty crowded. As a result, I had to wait a little while for the food. After reading some favorable reviews I thought to myself, this had better be good. When my Pork Osso Buco finally arrived I devoured it shortly after first taste. I mean it was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and the flavor tickled my palate. The manager was also very nice as well. The decor was pleasant and seemed authentic enough. Given that the more important points, being quality of food and service were well covered, I give this place a five star rating.

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh - and the sushi is great too (especially the tropical roll and spicy tuna roll made complete with asparagus)! Everything they make is good - the vegetables in each dish seem fresh and crunchy. Our favorites include the egg rolls & Grand Marnier Shrimp! The ambiance is nice, and it is great that they have a full bar too.

Oh wow! China Palace isn't your run-of-the-mill Americanized Chinese food joint (though there's nothing wrong with places like those). China Palace is definitely more upscale than your typical $6.95 lunch special joint. My husband Rick and I met up here with some friends of ours we hadn't seen in awhile. We started off our meals with some soup. I tried the hot & sour and--good morning taste buds! We then moved to the Palace Platter for our appetizers. The platter is a medley of some of their best--spring rolls, spare ribs, won tons, and coconut fantail shrimp--yum! Now for the main courses, I love the flowery names here: Ocean Breeze, Flower Basket Medley, and Happy Family. I went for the Ocean Breeze: fried filet of fish with mushrooms and broccoli in chef's special sauce. Now when eating fried fish, the breading shouldn't overpower the fish. And nor should the sauce drown the dish. Trust me, this was done perfectly! Rick went for the Crystal Gems--seafood, scallops, and chicken in a mix of Chinese vegetables. Our friends wet for the Peking Duck. I've eaten at the Shadyside location and as a previous Yelper said, the owner and his staff do a great job at both locations.

The General Tso's chicken and the dry fried string beans were ok - at least they were edible. The scallops in lobster sauce were swimming in a heavily cornstarched viscous soup with some peas and egg swirled in. The beef with bamboo shoots and black mushrooms was absolutely tasteless -- it is hard to imagine how one can take black mushrooms and make them tasteless, and it used canned bamboo, not shoots. The whole menu seemed heavily americanized, but it did not even do the chinese american food well. This place also refused to honor a discount card, that clearly stated it was good at the China Palace in Wexford and China Palace in Monroeville (but not the one in Shadyside - as the food tasted totally different, they must not be part of the same chain as the one in Shadyside, which is americanized but has several tasty dishes). Up in this area, the Oriental Express on Brandt School road by Soergels or China Star on McKnight are much, much better.

Yummy! This place is small, but great for a casual date or take-out. I usually go to the one in Shadyside because it is closer to my house, however my fiancee and I were out running errands and doing some shopping one Saturday in Wexford and decided to try this location. Major win! It was about 7:30-8 on a Saturday night and I say we waited about 15 minutes for our food to go, and they were busy! The people working there were super nice, told us to take our time when we looked at the menu. Unlike the Shadyside location, (which I love, don't get me wrong) this one offers Mongolian Beef and a Crab Rangoon appetizer. The food was sooo good and I had plenty left over to eat the next day. Delicious!

Don't let the name fool you. The name, "China Palace" sounds like the run of the mill Chinese food buffet. This couldn't be further from the truth. The owner, Mike and staff give outstanding service. They have some trendy, cutting edge selections. Try the grand marnier shrimp. The sushi is also the best in the north hills and is reasonably priced. The tropical roll is my favorite off the sushi menu.

This may sound hard to believe given its location and unassuming exterior, but the China Palace in Wexford has arguably the best sushi in Pittsburgh. Owner Mike Chen pays special attention to the freshness and quality of his fish. And his sushi chefs are well trained in not only preparing the fish, but also presenting it in artful ways. Mike also pays special attention to his customers. He, and his staff, make guests feel like they are part of a family. In addition to fantastic sushi, China Palace has a very nice and well priced wine list and excellent Chinese fair. I recommend the eggplant dumplings. A true gem of the North Hills, and all of Pittsburgh for that matter.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
