China Palace Restaurant

"If you don't speak Taiwanese, then you are likely going to be treated a bit unwelcomed. If you already know what you want, can just point at the menu, and not say a word, you might be ok."

"Called to order for the first time and I started my order with one item I was unaware that they did not have but still had more to order but the woman that answered the phone said “we don’t have it” and automatically hung up without taking the rest of my order."

"The perfect example of you can't judge a book by it's cover. The whole bowling center and parking lot that this restaurant is attached to looks like it was abandoned probably 20 years ago. From the outside, you would not think that any business was still running here. The restaurant has black tinted windows that you can't see inside, so it look dark and closed. The entrance to the blowing alley looks like it was chained up and closed. Both are more than open, but are great. The bowling alley is modern inside and well lit. The restaurant says "China Palace" but it's actually authentic Taiwanese food. Everything from oyster omelets, to meat cup cake, thick soup with vermicelli, to braised pork over rice dishes. Because of the pandemic ongoing, they are only doing takeout at the moment, but it's worth the effort to get there. Wherever GPS guides you, take it, because it's not leading you to an abandoned alley, it's actually very much alive. The prices were on the slightly higher side, not overly expensive, but worth the extra price for the authentic taste. I am only not giving five stars because it's not eat in, and because the decor of the interior, unlike the bowling alley, is stuck in very much 1970's decor. When we have a chance to eat in, will update this, but for now, 5 stars on the food, brought down one star only because could not eat in."

"Great Taiwanese food in an unexpected place. Not much decor to speak of, but you don't go to a restaurant to stare at the walls. Good prices and speedy service."

"The Chinese name of the restaurant literally​ meant "Taiwan Small Eatery" and that was what it served: authentic, inexpensive Taiwanese food that was sold at roadside eateries in Taiwan. It even played​ old (very old) Taiwanese/Japanese songs in the background. Our favorite was​ the Crispy tofu with cucumber chili sauce. We also liked most of the noodle dishes that we had tried . The only dish we did not like was the Tu-Tuo fish noodle soup. We could not detect fish in the fried fish. They tasted like fried flour."
