Great food but most of all great service, very welcoming staff. They were able to accommodate our party of 13 with short notice. Will definitely be returning.

After two false starts dining at fake Chinese food establishments, I desperately need something authentic. Further Google search lead me to The Palm Tree Palace. The name alone passed the Chinese test. From the menu items, I knew I hit gold. Finally, a place that has the right variety of Chinese dishes. The lady who answered the phone was a bit abrupt (in a very Chinese way, but in person, she was very friendly and glad to see us). We were treated with smiles from all the staff when we arrived. We were so 'starved' for real Chinese food at this point that I could have ordered half a dozen dishes, but since we didn't really want to take anything home, we decided on half a Peking Duck, Chicken and Vegetables in White Source, and Fish Congee. Ahhh, can you imagine congee on the menu. And of course, we asked for no MSG and no garlic, not a problem! The cuisine here is Northern Chinese, the Peking Duck came with steamed buns instead of the Canton Style duck with duck skin served with pancakes, and duck meat served as lettuce wraps. The duck skin was very crispy and delicious and the meat was tender. The duck must have been a giant duck because there were more meat piece than I expected. The congee, again was Northern Chinese, not smooth congee like the Cantonese kind. But still delicious, with tender fish and slivers of ginger. The chicken dish was well stir fried, and I didn't even mind the bean sprouts in the vegetable mix. To pass the test as a really great Chinese food restaurant though, it has to score high marks on originality for second and third time visits where you'd try out other dishes. When we came again, we ordered Braised Tofu with Vegetables, and pot stickers and to our disappointment, the vegetables were of the same variety as the chicken vegetables dish, and sauces were the same except more constarch this time, and we didn't enjoy the tiny pieces of square-cut tofu as they were not freshly fried – not crunchy outside and tender inside. That means, if we had ordered both the chicken and tofu dishes for the same meal, we would be lacking a good variety of vegetables. Incidentally, we tend to choose Chinese food when we need lots of cooked vegetables, so, I would think one of the key advantages that all Chinese restaurants should make use of is use as many varieties of fresh vegetables as possible. At home, the famous Chinese restaurants would not get away with this – they have to use different vegetables for different dishes or they would lose all their Chinese customers!

During my visit, a female worker, likely an owner, physically grabbed me as I walked away with my order to check if it was correct. While I understand the need for accuracy, I felt uncomfortable with the approach. A simple "excuse me" would have sufficed rather than touching me. This incident left me questioning if my appearance played a role in the interaction.

It’s dumb that you have to pay separate for a small bowl of steam rice it should come with your food order . We paid 50 dlls for two regular order of food and 2 bowl of rice ? .

Food is great. Cantonese Chinese preparation. Ordered the cod fillet with scallions and salt and pepper wings. Service is good and prices comparable for the area, averaging $20/entree and $10/appetizer. Also serves dim sum although did not order. Restaurant modern decor and located in an outdoor strip shopping center. Would return.

We have visited Palm Tree Palace on several occasions, and the food and service has been good. On our first visit, there was an issue with redeeming their Yelp check in offer, which was awkward. Regarding the food, we stick to the Honey Walnut Shrimp, French Style Filet Mignon with Asparagus, and a rotating noodle dish such as Chicken Chow Mein. The taste of each of the dishes above has been consistently very good. This food is not filler; it is high quality and delicious. As a result of the quality, the food is not cheap, but we routinely have leftovers, so it works out. Regarding the service, it has been good. On our most recent visit a few days ago, the service was fantastic.

Pretty marginal food! The appetizer we ordered were giant balls of dough with a few shreds of BBQ pork inside. Sent back,Mongolian beef was just warm (assumed rice came with it, but it doesn't).Canton Bistro is the way to go!Staff was friendly and accomodating.
