Good palace to dine in. No words to express my love for this place! Hands down, this is really one of the best places to enjoy a meal, without being rushed and the staff is amazing! They treat you like family, and these days you don't get that very often. I have never had a bad experience here.…
Fantastic Chinese. If you're looking for great Chinese this is your place. I had the best moo shu beef I've had in years. Pan-fried dumplings were another highlight. The food was fresh, sauces were light but flavorful, servings are generous. The atmosphere is relaxing, the decor is lovely. I am so glad we now have this excellent option for Chinese in our area and will be returning very soon!…
great Chinese food. Looking for great Chinese food? well, go to Red Palace. We have eaten here a few times and always enjoy the food very much. The food is very tasty. The General Tso,s chicken and Crab Rangoon are so delicious, my mouth is starting to water. I would totally recommend it to everybody.…
Freshest, tastiest, cleanest Chinese restaurant. Freshest, tastiest, cleanest Chinese restaurant I live in the neighborhood, and I frequent Red Palace at least once a week, whether it be take out or Buffet. The food is always high quality -- hot and fresh.The shrimp dishes as well as the chicken and rice are fantastic! Additionally, the service is always on point. I can hardly imagine a better place to eat Chinese.…
So-so generic Chinese.
From the uniformly rave reviews, we expected something special on our trip to Roanoke. What we found was decent Americanized Chinese food.
I suppose that there's a limit to the type and number of offerings a buffet like this can provide in this type of area. From other Chinese buffets that I've been to, though, here's what I would have liked to have seen:
More veggie dishes, e.g., spinach, eggplant with garlic, more than one tofu dish. Snow peas.
Pot stickers & other dim sum type offerings.
More seafood dishes, e.g., steamed/sauteed fish & seafood. There was one fried fish dish, and a pan of clams that unfortunately ran out before we had a chance to try them. There was a bright and tasty shrimp stir fry that was good. But the cold cocktail shrimp on the salad bar were, disappointingly, truly bland and awful.
I would have liked to have seen: salmon, squid, mussels.
One thing that was new for me was a big rice cooker to dip white rice out of. Since it wasn't obvious what it was, it would have been helpful to label it. (or if there was a label, I didn't notice it).
The hygiene issue? One of the covers for the steamed buns fell on the floor, rim-down. One of the staff picked it up and placed it back on the buns. He should have removed it and replaced it with a clean cover.…
