This isn't actually a buffet as they only do to-go and cannot dine in at all. Despite the very poor attitude, the food was actually delicious.

MOM AND POP ORIENTAL RESTAURANT.....AND IT IS NOT A PALACE…read more The Oriental Palace is a small mom and pop Chinese restaurant in a little plaza on Idaho. This is certainly "not" a palace. It has about twelve tables and offers nothing special as far as ambiance. To get to the restroom you have to walk through the kitchen. Yet, it is neat and clean enough for casual dining. Definitely not a place for a special occasion or a pleasant dining experience. The menu has many of the usual suspects for a Chinese restaurant but it seems to have a surfeit of chow mein offerings....a lot of shredded cabbage, carrots, and crispy noodles. Prices are very reasonable....the food is a good buy for the buck. The service I have always found to be friendly and somewhat efficient, but certainly not at the professional level. No complaints. It's just fine for a quick, casual meal. The food is prepared timely and refills offered regularly. When last there I ordered their MONGOLIAN BEEF. It arrived in a covered dish. In addition to the sliced beef there were the usual carrots, green peppers, and lots of onion (not scallions). The portion was hefty considering the price. The beef was tender and had a nice flavor. The sauce was a little sweet but pretty good. The meal was advertized as "hot" (as Mongolian Beef should be) but there was little heat to the meal. Overall, this was a decent presentation of Mongolian Beef but nothing unusual. This is "FAIR to MIDDLING CHINESE FOOD. Not bad but not great. When I sampled their chow mein I have found the food to be prepared fresh and beautifully presented. The veggies.....the cabbage and carrots were not limp and overcooked. The fried rice was just "rice" with no onion, eggs, peas, or carrot....just rice. The chow mein had little pieces of chicken in it, but the chicken lacked flavor. It was ok but not the most flavorful chicken. The food I had was somewhat bland. The sweet-and-sour sauce was not your traditional sweet-n-sour but rather strange. It too lacked flavor. All-in-all, the food at the Oriental Palace was ok but not something to go out of your way for. I do not find myself eager to return. But, it's all right in a pinch. What to expect if you go: A small, casual restaurant, ok service, good prices, and sort of fair Chinese food. Restaurant rating = THREE-AND-A-HALF STARS....meaning, better than average dining but not reaching the level of a really good dining experience. The food itself isn't bad however. Just don't expect anything great!

The miso was just ok.. could have more body/flavor but the shrimp and seafood boil was really good with the blue crab (small crab) being cooked well- not dry or overcooked. Same for the shrimp. They have several station from veggies, puddings, 2 or 3 hot stations, sushi and hibachi/stir fry station. Waiters were kind and attentive as well. Went at 1pm on saturday and ut wasn't too busy. When you dont want to cook and want seafood variety, you really cant beat the value.

Well, I went to this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend…read more I was told they close at 9 pm. I walked in at 8:15 pm. Its a Friday nite, and on the menu it says Mon-Sat: 11:00 am - 8:30 pm. I told the hostess that i wanted to make an order to-go. She told me they were closed. I then asked what time they close, I was told they close "Right Now". Extremely Rude. So, I left got into my car and proceded driving away. Then the hostess ran up to me saying they could take my order, that didn't make anything better. So instead of driving another 20 min for Chinese food, I made an order with them. I ordered, sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef, and steamed rice, which they didn't have. I was given fried rice instead. The food was O.K. Nothing to write home about. Typical Chinese food. While waiting for my food I couldn't help but notice that they have a-lot of, "We reserve the right to refuse service" What's up with that? Wast of money wont be going back.
