Chung King Palace

Ok, Call me weird, but I really like this place.  I have been coming for so many years, I even cross the bridge just to eat here.  

Love their eggrolls, and my absolute favorite is the Chicken Cashew.  Maybe you came at a bad time, but my experience here has always been wonderful, from the friendly staff to the yumy food!

I ate here today with my wife and kids, and overall the entire experience made me sad.

It's one of those places where the food tastes just like the restaurant smells, and unfortunately the place smells bad. I should have trusted my gut and just turned around when I walked in the door, but we were greeted quickly, so we just sat and ate.

I'm not going to go into much detail about the food aside from just saying that it was pretty horrible. Not a single item I tried seemed to have any thought put into it, and it all seemed very "canned" to me. The ONLY reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is the service. The 2 women working there were very friendly. She spoke with us for a few minutes about where were from and where I worked, how long I worked there, etc... She asked about our kids and why they weren't in school (we homeschool) and was just generally very friendly and pleasant. The other woman there offered to take my daughter up to help her get some ice cream while we ate (I could have used a break from the food though!). So that's why this place makes me sad rather than mad. They seem like very sweet people, it's just a shame that the buffet menu didn't have as much care put into it as these ladies seem to put into their service.

Profoundly unimpressed. Have tried this place on two seperate occasions and was disapointed both times. Walk somewhere else if you're staying downtown.
