For a General Tso's you expect a little "something". This was sesame chicken minus the seeds. Just thickened sugar water on chicken. The "fried rice" was yellow rice with pork added. I'm not sure why places in the Poconos do this, but there are only a handful of places that make real fried rice. This isn't one of them. The chicken nicely fried, the egg roll not so much. Overcooked and greasy. The cost was $10 and change. It said you get a discount for using cash so I did. No discount. Save yourself the trouble, go somewhere else. Winner - sucked.

The only thing edible was the steamed rice. The sesame chicken was inedible; terrible texture, flavor and the oil it was fried in tasted bad to me, I stopped after one bite. The bbq pork was not great, overly sweet and chewy, I ate a little bit of that with the steamed rice. I had stomach issues that evening and the next day from the food as well. Will never return and advise all to stay away.

Our family decided that we wanted some Chinese food and after some Yelp searching, we came across…read moreMt. Palace with a lot of decent reviews so we decided to make this our place. We made a good choice. Mt. Palace has Japanese and Chinese foods in one place which I believe was a converted Pizza Hut at one time. When we got there, there were several tables filled and others coming in for dinner. We asked for a menu for takeout. The cashier was very helpful in answering questions about the food. We got General Tso Chicken, Happy Family which has beef, chicken, prawn, scallop, and pork. Some Wonton soup, and pork fried rice with a small salad and miso soup. All the food was made well and tasty. I felt the Wonton soup was bland but everything else was nice. The restaurant has a lot of anime all over and although they have a sign for gender neutral restrooms, it was men's and women's rooms separate. The place appeared clean. It came to about $80 total. We would return.

If you're anywhere in the Poconos and craving Chinese food, stop what you're doing and go here…read moreimmediately. This place is the definition of a five‑star hidden gem. The moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed with a warm, genuine smile that makes you feel like family. No frills, no gimmicks -- just pure, unforgettable flavor. The food? Absolutely out of this world. This is the kind of spot that reminds you why "hole in the wall" places are always the best. The chicken with curry is hands‑down the best I've ever tasted -- rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. And the hot and spicy chicken? Legendary. Fiery, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every single time. This restaurant doesn't just serve great food -- it sets the standard for what great food should be. Five stars isn't enough. It's the Poconos' reigning champion of Chinese cuisine, and it lives up to its name in every possible way.

I need to go back here and try some other items before totally deciding, but this was a pretty…read morerough stop. A few of my friends said this is their favorite Chinese takeout so I finally made it up to give it a shot. I got the shrimp with garlic sauce combo and an order of Szechuan wontons. The woman was friendly and spoke solid English. The establishment was downright greasy...but honestly what Chinese place isn't? The wontons themselves had very little filling in them. It was all crunch and no body. The sauce was also just ... not good. Tasted closer to American bbq sauce than it did any spicy Szechuan sauce I've ever had. Also zero spice to the sauce. There were also peas and carrots in the container. Like ... what? This was a huge letdown. I ate 2. The shrimp with garlic sauce had 4 shrimp in the container. The shrimp tasted great, and their garlic sauce was solid, but 4 shrimp. I should have gotten the chicken. I normally order chicken with broccoli and have them sub garlic sauce when I get Chinese takeout. I should have done that. There was also a plethora of vegetables in this that were just taking up the space the shrimp were missing from. Baby corn, water chestnuts, large chunks of mushroom/onion/pepper, snowpeas...you name it. The one highlight of the food here was the fried rice wasn't just generic yellowish rice in a container. This was actual fried rice, which is hard to come by in these parts. The egg roll was unremarkable. I'll go back and try other stuff at some point but for now - Five Star Chinese -Sucked.

Weekends are dinner rates, but still worth it. I came twice in one week, once for weekday dinner…read moreand once for weekend lunch. The weekday dinner had lobsters and the weekend lunch had crayfish. We enjoyed all the food and the waitstaff was very attentive, they made quick rounds to collect plates and refill sodas. There is a lot of variety in the selections and they're all pretty tasty. Their sushi was good, we really it. The only thing I did not like was the wasabi, it looked neon green, the color of slimer from ghostbusters... it was looking too artificial. Their dessert/fruit table also has a wide selection and we had no issues whatsoever. The ice cream machine was kind of slow, I saw a lot of people had difficulty with the chocolate side of the machine. This is a great option to have out in the Poconos. We will alway return.

There is a nice fountain in front for ambiance. Some of the food was mislabeled or had no signage. There was some sushi which was fine, but no hibachi option. It was nice to have fruit options with dessert. There was a variety of meats, noodles, and soups. There wasn't a ton of variety, but it'll do the trick. Neither of us felt great after, but I can't tell if it's the quantity or quantity. The prices are a little cheaper during the week and during lunch where there is one flat rate on Sunday, so if you're going on one of those days, it may feel like better bang for your buck.
