We stopped by CJ Palace for lunch. Their lunch specials are available between 11 am and 3 pm. And, they come with a crispy spring roll, choice of fried rice or steamed rice, and choice of salad or egg flower soup or hot and sour soup. We tried the general's chicken lunch special (with fried rice and egg flower soup) and sweet and sour chicken lunch special (with steamed rice and hot and sour soup). Both lunches were good - a bit heavy on the batter but both entrees had good flavor. The soups were satisfying as were the crispy spring rolls. Service was friendly. And the restaurant itself was nice: large dining area with plenty of tables. Besides Chinese dishes, the restaurant also features sushi and sashimi. We are looking forward to trying more of their food. read more

I previously reviewed CJ Palace and gave it another try even though I said I wouldn't visit again. The service was impeccable and the restaurant was clean and inviting. Although I still think it's too dimly lit. The dragon roll was ok but the rice was definitely over cooked. The lettuce wraps were tasty along with the asparagus beef. The staff were very pleasant and attentive to the needs of all patrons. read more

Went in for a late lunch, and CJ Palace was still busy, which is always a good sign. We were greeted at the door and quickly seated. A friendly server took our drink orders and brought menus. They have several lunch options, which include an egg roll, soup, and your choice of entree. I ordered hot and sour soup with sesame chicken, and my husband ordered hot and sour soup with Kung Pao beef. The soup arrived first and was really tasty, some of the best I have had. The main course followed. The egg roll was crispy and flavorful, though a little greasier than I would have liked. The sesame chicken was sweet and tasty, and the fried rice was amazing, with large chunks of chicken and char su that perfectly balanced the sweetness of the chicken. Service started out fast and friendly, but after we finished our meal, we waited quite a while for our check and even longer for them to take payment. I will not hold that against them, and we will probably be back. read more

As soon as I walked in I was seated at the bar. Few people around when I arrived and it was pretty quiet the whole time I was there. It has been quite a while since I've been here and it was good then and still good now. Some people are a fan of tobiko and some people are not. I'm not a fan of it and a lot of rolls do have it on it. Other than that I had a good dinner and would come back read more

The food here is so good. I usually enjoy a bento box, they have the best in town, but today I was craving some good old fashioned sweet and sour chicken. I like the sauce they use here, and they dont skimp out on the carrots, onions, and pineapple. It is a nice size dish and comes with steamed rice. We also ordered a couple other dishes. Their crispy spicy orange beef is delicious, and so is their egg foo young. Service is always good a d fast and friendly. read more

Nice room. Mediocre food, at best at high prices. There are better choices only blocks from here.

This is our go to Chinese restaurant. Food is great. Staff is friendly. Price is decent and portions are full. Restaurant is clean, has 2 sides with sushi bar and Chinese. Our family comes here at least once every couple of months. Sushi is good, sometimes comes with too much sauce but it's good. Fresh seafood and quality sushi rice. Chinese is amazing. Love the chow mein and general chicken. read more

Best Chinese food in Reno proper! Highly recommend if you are in the area. Great service and great price.

Visited this restaurant with my son on a Saturday night, and we were able to get seated right away. I haven't been here in a couple of years, so I was very excited to go. We ordered the crab rangoons, chow fun, and honey walnut shrimp. All my favorites! Everything was SO delicious and flavorful. The crab rangoons were crispy. I love that the walnuts in the honey walnut shrimp were still crunchy, and not soggy. I can't even pick a favorite, everything was just so good. And they were so kind and patient with my 4 year old. Will definitely be returning! read more

Well my son took me to dinner here actually to a lunch and I usually really love this place I wasn't feeling it this time service was really good but the sushi wasn't up to snuff like I love it. When the seaweed wrapped is mushy then I know I'm not going to enjoy it I like seaweed rap to be crispy and crunchy when you bite it the kids ordered something from there Chinese menu and they loved it so I'm glad I've experienced this place when I really really loved it it just wasn't spot on this time read more

Very nice restaurant, beautifully decorated. Lunch with a friend and so nice they have a lunch special that comes with a soup or salad, egg roll and choice of rice with entree. We sat on the side to order Chinese food but you can also be seated for sushi and they have a sushi bar also. I had beef broccoli with very tender beef and crispy vegetables. Salad had a nice sesame dressing and the lettuce was very crisp and cold, ate it all! Good portions for one person took half home! Reasonably priced and great service! read more

We were shopping in the plaza and getting hungry. My partner had heard about this place. We were starving so decided to try it out. We ordered chicken chow mein, mongolian chicken and some sushi rolls. The food came really fast and it was really good. We'd definitely come back! read more

Today was my second visit because the first was so great. I ordered the same thing today...Mandarin Chicken Lunch, NOT spicy...because it was so delicious the first time, I wanted more today. The lunch comes with a crispy eggroll that's very good and choice of soup or salad. I choose salad which is yummy too. The fried rice is ok. Nothing spectacular but tasty. The star of the show is the chicken. It is tender and the batter is perfect. The sauce (without the spice) is super sweet which is what I like. I do NOT crave dessert after this meal. This is a meal I want when all I'm craving IS dessert. (:-) My lunch guest ordered the cashew chicken. She was disappointed that there were not more cashews and she thought it was way too salty. When she told our server that she didn't want a take home box because it was too salty, he went and talked to the cook and came back and said "next time tell me not too much salt and we can do that". Personally there is no such thing as too salty for me. But I wanted to let everyone know they can ask for less salt if this is your preference. As for not enough cashews...maybe ask for lots if you want lots? The food seems FRESH and I'm thinking that if we can request less salt...it must all be cooked to order, which is very good. I will keep coming back. This chicken is awesome. If you find this review helpful, please VOTE! read more

The service was exceptional. The field was so good. We had a variety when all car and I told you they're a too young is like no other. You need to try this place.. read more

This place has a large variety of lunch specials. I always get the teriyaki chicken combo box. So much food for a fair price. The combo boxes come with soup, salad, rice, tempura vegetables, and either California roll pieces, or sashimi. My chicken is always moist and flavorful. I can never eat everything and usually take most of my chicken and all the rice home for another whole meal. They serve sushi and traditional Chinese food here. Check it out! read more

I had what I always have here: the teriyaki salmon combo. I know it's japanese-ish rather than Chinese, but I don't like American style Chinese food all that much. The bento-style combos come with a protein, miso soup, tempura sushi or sashimi, salad, an orange slice and steamed white Calrose rice. I love Calrose or short grain rice. It was my favorite part of the meal. The salmon was overcooked, but I love salmon cooked until it's a little chewy, almost like Jerry. The tempura vegetables weren't as fresh as I would have liked, but again, I always like tempura vegetables. ​​ read more

I would give this a 3.5 the service was good and Location is good food is what I consider average asian.

By far the best Chinese food in the Sparks area. And it's the best Chinese food I've ever eaten. The service is always top notch-fast and friendly. I'm so thankful I live close by and this can be my go to Chinese restaurant. read more

We've been coming here for years and the food is always delicious and the service great. They have a good choice of lunch specials at a reasonable price. I'm not a fan of sushi but my son is and he says it's really good and freshly made. I highly recommend CJ Palace and hope to keep coming here for many more years. read more

Service is always good...food is excellent...love the honey walnut shrimp...try to go there every other month...

Love the Food, love the prices, love the Atmosphere, Stanley is the very best. My favorite restaurant for Chinese and Japanese food in Sparks. The Baked Oysters are delicious. I also choose the #8 Teriyaki Steak Bento box. See you next week. Julie A read more

This restaurant has become one of my family's favorites! excellent food great service casual fun atmosphere.

Food was good, service was excellent. Prices were reasonable. Great place for Chinese food.

All things considered, we give CJ's a 4.5/5 star experience! Couldn't give it a 4.5 so we're giving it the consistency of a 4. Food wise: I had the sushi, as you can see in the pictures. These rolls are a part of their new dinner roll selection they have available. Everything considered with the sushi, it was made fresh and tempura was warm. However the taste was very similar throughout the different rolls I tried. Good flavors! However, very similar in the flavoring per roll. My fiancée, however. Had the crispy beef and white rice. She would give that a 5/5. It was hot! Freshly made and vegetables were fresh as well! Overall, it was one of the better Chinese dishes we've had in a while! Sushi gives it a 4/5 stars based on menu selection, price, and limited to no appetizers availability with an all you can eat. Service wise. The gentlemen that were serving us were right on it! Made sure we had drinks constantly and was right there to get the sushi orders input. We're not used to ordering directly with a person, but it was nice to have the sushi delivered as quickly as it was. Overall service was 5/5. Ambiance wise. It was towards the end of dinner time so it wasn't as crowded as we imagined. There were tables being served but the place seemed clean, friendly and felt inviting. The waiters did a good job of taking care of their tables. We're accommodating and attentive to detail without being intrusive which is a great thing in the dining industry. Thankful to the staff for being accommodating with food allergens! Definitely brings up the 4 to the 4.5 but can't rate in between unfortunately. read more

The sushi rolls were good, but quite literally were the smallest rolls of my life I've ever encountered at a sushi place ( and believe it or not im not being dramatic). Service was fast and efficient , restaurant was busy but well kept . Plenty of parking and shopping near by . Don't think I would revisit due to the dollhouse sized rolls but it's def a spot to try out if you like Chinese / sushi . read more

I love AYCE sushi, but my husband doesn't. CJ Palace allows us to both get the meals we want! It is tucked in the furthest corner of a Sparks shopping mall, and I wouldn't have known it existed without Yelp. Nevertheless, there is ample parking, and there were a healthy amount of guests when we visited for a special Sunday date lunch. Post-COVID, I sometimes worry about the effects of staffing challenges on the dining experience. There's no need to worry at CJ Palace. There were so many staff members doing their jobs well, including two bussers. Our server was friendly and attentive. My husband only wants meat and rice, and she made a great recommendation to order a la carte from the dinner menu rather than from the lunch menu to get a larger portion. The portion was generous, and we now have extra meat to make two weekday work lunches. I was very happy with my AYCE experience. To me, three rolls is more than enough (and worth the AYCE lunch price, which is $26), and at other places, I've sometimes felt weird eating so little. I appreciated that the server didn't make me feel weird here, and that she trusted that no, my husband is not at all going to be trying to sneak bites of my AYCE. In my experience, I've found other places to be hesitant if both parties don't order AYCE. The sunomono cucumber salad was the best I've ever had at an AYCE restaurant, and my rolls (Godzilla, Dragon, and San Francisco) were delicious. I usually eat grocery store and hospital cafeteria sushi, so real sushi was such a treat. When we paid the bill, our receipt came with a discount coupon for dinner. I wasn't going to take it, because we usually eat out only for lunch and not for dinner. My husband said TAKE IT, we're going to use it, and because he is the pickiest eater, that solidified the five stars from me. read more

CJ Palace has some of the best Chinese food and sushi around! The appetizers are endless and absolutely delicious--the crab rangoons and potstickers were a standout. You also can get miso OR egg drop soup so it's nice having different soup options. We tried a few sushi rolls, including the King Kong (not deep-fried), Tiger, and Alaskan rolls, and they were all excellent. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes at this place! read more

I always replace the spring roll with a Crab Rangoon too! 11 AM to 3 PM is the lunch special! Best Chinese food in town!! read more

My only visits here were for their sushi bar. When the pandemic hit; it was hard that I couldn't order my weekly AYCE. I eat AYCE sushi at least once a week sometimes two. I placed orders ala carte bi weekly during the shutdown. This was the closest place to home and I could get my fix. Service was always good here, but my 4 stars were for the over sauced rolls. I had to ask to hold the sauces from my long rolls. It's a pretty spacious diningroom and have been back in for AYCE and asked to hold the sauce. I'm due for another visit. read more

Food and service was great! Our server Sam was awesome! Not sure what Barbara S is referring to but there was no lighting problem in the restaurant as you can see from her clear photos of food. Tables were full in restaurant, plus lots of take out orders and thought they did amazing keeping up considering it was Christmas Eve. Our group of 6 shared walnut shrimp, Mu Shu pork, sesame chicken, combo fried rice, pepper beef, sweet and sour chicken and a few sushi rolls and had plenty to take home. Would gladly go back again! read more

Food is great! My absolute favorite is the Wor Wonton Soup! Service is great never had a bad encounter here

Amazing food and service I'll definitely be going back the sushi was also very good I couldn't believe how quick the service was

Not your typical Chinese restaurant! You can choose between sushi or the Chinese menu. We ordered from the Chinese menu. The restaurant was beautiful-a much higher scale than most other Chinese restaurants. The staff were all friendly and the service was pleasant and fast. read more

I had never been here before but was recommend. The food was not only great but it was also very fresh and the portion sizes were great. The lighting was nice and the booth we sat in was comfortable and enjoyed the space. Service was nothing too special but also nothing to complain about other than having to remind the water for more water. I also ordered a large Sake and it was a great portion and perfect for two and was a great price for the size. read more
