I LOVE this place. They don't have AS many choices (like Honey Walnut Prawns) but they do have a lot of great choices! If you're on a budget and still want great food, this is the place to go! We...

We needed some place quick and cheap for lunch today. This place has always been fast for us, but we take our lunch a little early so as not to fight crowds and parking. The parking is small and...

My coworker and I went here to get take-out because it was close. Meh x2. Mediocre to say the best, although I'm sure that there's got to be a dish here that rocks, I wasn't blown away. At least it...

The Szechwan Palace has the best specials for both lunch and dinner for the area. I think you'll only find better deals in Monterey Park. Talk about getting for the most bang for your buck, especially...

I don't think this place is as bad as other reviewers make it out to be. The prices were super cheap, the portions were large and the wait staff was super friendly. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat...

Cheap food that tastes good, does anything else need to be said? they also have Lo mein which I always seem to have trouble finding on the west coast, as well as some General Tso's Chicken.

We ventured out for a late night din-din in our neighborhood and landed on this little nook, which we hadn't tried and wasn't going to cost us an arm and a leg.So we hopped in, pretty ravenous by...

This place is merely okay, but I'm bumping it up a star from where it would ordinarily land for two reasons. (1) there is a lovely view out the back windows of the wetlands preserve. So sit in the...

Jeebus Crisco on banana peels. Let me just start by saying that, had I seen this place from the outside and had a choice in where I was eating, this would not have been it! My uncle decided to bring...

Always good food at a good price, great service, friendly staff, and a cool back room that you can have private dinners in- which we've done. Definitely check it out!

lunch specials are ok- try the brown fish. But overall - an ok place if you are craving chinese and do not want to drive very far. I think they use MSG.

It's not great, not terrible, but not exciting. The delivery used to be lightening fast and now you're lucky to see it in 2 hours even if you live 3 blocks away. The chick who takes the orders has bigtime...

You can also make your own dish. Give it a try, ask them to mix your choice of vegies , meat & add the spices and sauces you like. You can get creative . PROS: food quantity & quality CONS: not god for a date.
