If you’re a fan of Egg Foo Young, The China Palace is your new sanctuary. I’ve tried this dish at a dozen places, but they’ve truly mastered the craft here. The patties are perfectly golden—crispy on the outside but incredibly light and airy on the inside, never greasy or heavy. They are packed with fresh bean sprouts and scallions that give every bite a satisfying crunch. But the real star is the gravy. It’s rich, savory, and has that deep, authentic flavor that makes you want to drizzle it over everything on the table. Generous portions, served piping hot, and consistently delicious. If you’re coming here, this dish is a non-negotiable must-order!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I recently moved to the village of Dolton, Illinois. I saw this lil restaurant tucked away and thought I'd try it someday. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but don't let that fool ya. I ordered a small beef fried rice extra spicy, 2 egg rolls, and 6 crab rangoons. It ran me close to $26 dollars. It was definitely worth getting up and going out in this cold. The food was delicious!! I'll definitely be back.

The best Chinese Food I’ve ever eaten, my family and I have been eating here for years and I pray they stay opened with many years to come. I know the owners very nice people and caring people. The food is spectacular.
