I ordered the chicken with broccoli lunch special for $6.06, $6.56 after tax. The food tasted good and I liked how they packed the chicken with broccoli separately from the rice (the rice came in its own pint box while the meal came in a plastic container). Be aware that the lunch special includes your entree and a soup or egg roll or soda (not "and" soda). In store staff was rushed and borderline rude. The place was clean enough to make me comfortable eating there again.

OK - I admit - Chinese/Mexican takeout counters make me suspicious. I mean, which is it? And what do the 3 have in common? Why why why?? I will say, this place, however, is Chinese. I say that only because I ordered the Chinese, and not the Mexican. And the Chinese is very good. I started with the Wonton in Spicy Oil (which as many of you know is wonton in a spicy peanut sauce.) This was very tasty. It did not have quite enough peanut flavor for my tastes, but after too many samples of this dish where the wonton fell totally apart or the sauce was like Peanut Butter (thick and not spicy) I have to rank this version as one of the better ones I have sampled. For an entree I had Prawns W. Young Ginger Root (prawns served w. sweet young ginger root w. hot pepper sauce & vegetables). This was delicious! Chock full of jumbo shrimp, and vegetables cooked nicely but not overcooked. The sauce was slightly spicy and had a nice ginger finish. I totally recommend this place!

The quality and attention to detail here is above average for a quicky Chinese takeout, let alone a place that serves both Chinese and Mexican. For example, they pack the sweet and sour sauce/veggies separate from the main fried chicken/pork entree, so it doesn't get soggy. I even noticed them poking little holes in the top of the plastic top for the fried chicken portion so that steam wouldn't build up on the inside. Also, it's nice that they look up your address based upon your phone number so you don't have to repeat it each time and risk them taking it down wrong.

I would have to call East Palace my favorite Chinese restaurant. I strongly suggest not to eat there, but maybe try takeout or delivery. As you can see by the ratings above, it's not so much of a classy restaurant. But looks CAN be deceiving. I would highly recommend their Chicken and Broccoli meal and their Eggplant in Garlic sauce meal which are both surprisingly around 6 bucks. In fact, all their meals are individually less than $10. It's quite famous in the area a great place for a quick and cheap lunch because it is located near the CW11 station place and the UN itself. Trust me, their food is to die for! )

I was delighted that my lunch was only 6.45, but utterly disappointed at the beef chow fun that I ordered for take out yesterday. It was bland and truly tasteless, I could have made better and I don't cook often. Not sure about the rest of the food, but I am never going to waste my money again.

I have been going to this place for over 8 years and they are alway very good. There noodle soups are my favorite, N2 with egg noodles! Try it with extra Contonese Wonton!

Excellent [select]ion and a great value. Food is carefully prepared and delivery is quick.
