Eastern Palace

Worst meal we've ever had in a restaurant! When we arrived around 5:30 pm on a Friday, the lone waiter and the lone cook were having an argument in Chinese which momentarily delayed our seating. Our meal was awful from start to finish: the egg roll was so bad we didn't eat more than one bite. It seemed to have been fried in old grease. The wonton soup broth was fine, but the wontons were chewy. The chicken curry looked like someone had vomited it onto the plate. The sweet and sour shrimp came with broccoli - no carrots, pineapple, onion, or green pepper - and had little sauce. The shrimp were covered with a soft, thick cake-like coating which had to be scraped off in order to get to the shrimp. The fried rice was clumpy, chewy, brown rice with no peas, carrots, or any other kind of flavor. All the tables were set but none had knives. There was only one other occupied table while we were there, and the woman at that other table asked for a knife. We also asked but he never brought them (maybe he was busy with the one other table?) so I got up and walked across the restaurant to get two knives out of a container. It was also quite cold in the restaurant, and we had to wear our winter coats the entire meal.

My wife and I have ordered from here a few times as it close to the house and convienient to get to. Today we ordered the Mongolian beef and to our surprise they cut up a whole large onion and added a few pieces of beef with it. I’m never one to write reviews but for average at best, average quality of food and the for the price point we will not be ordering from here again. I will gladly drive to The Bean Curd even if it is a little further out of our way.
