I love this place always the spot to go for good priced Chinese! Been going for the last 5 years regularly and it's always good!

The oldest and still the best Chinese restaurant in Victoria, TX. Excellent food, great customer service, especially (Julie)who has been there for as long as I can remember. Great atmosphere and food. I highly recommend this restaurant, Thank you read more

Our absolute favorite Chinese restaurant ever!! Every time we come home to visit we have to order, everything is amazing but the dumplings are the best!! Service is always quick and on point!! read more

Tried Dragon Palace in Victoria with high hopes and a hunger for comfort food classics. Unfortunately, the General Tso's chicken came up short -- soggy breading and not much kick. The chicken chow mein was passable but didn't exactly stir any cravings, and the egg rolls? More sog than crunch. Not the worst takeout I've had, but definitely not a palace-worthy feast either. Hoping for a menu glow-up next time. read more

Their quality of food has really gone down their sweet and sour sauce has been watered down something' awful and they don't change the oil for frying needs to be changed read more

I tried the restaurant after years of not eating here. I now know why. The food I ordered was to be garlicky and spicy. I could not taste any garlic nor was it spicy. It tasted okay just didn't line up with description. Service was fast which is a plus, if in a hurry. The prices were good but I just can't give a great review. Ambience was okay read more

Enjoyed lunch here and it was our first time. They have a lunch special and every day is a new menu. We started off with the egg drop soup and I must say it was the best I have ever tasted! We then enjoyed the fried chicken wings and shrimp stir fry. The food came quickly and our server was fantastic. She brought all the sauces and served our tea seeped and ready to drink. I would definitely dine here again! read more

Great food and service with a quiet atmosphere. Daily lunch specials are a great value !

Had the soft noodles and chicken. Very good. There General Jos is very good too. Had the soft noodles and chicken. Very good. There General Jos is very good too. read more

In town for a wedding, was craving Chinese food. Ordered orange chicken which was different from any I've ever had. Fried dumplings weren't fried. Food didn't have much flavor over all. Prices were average. Service was good. Its edible but not somewhere I'd go back to. read more

See all

There is nothing good to say about this place. The lo mein was plain spaghetti with tasteless chicken, zero seasoning. What they call fried rice was grossly over boiled crumbling rice that if it were to have any flavor at all it may have had a slight chance, but alas it did not! All four in our group, left hungry and disgusted, the only part of the entire visit that had a slight bit of flavor was the egg rolls that they clearly buy in frozen. The only thing we actually fully enjoyed at all, was leaving! We had been there before and the food was fairly decent, clearly those days have long past. Do yourself a all those you care about a favor and go elsewhere! There is nothing good to say about this place. The lo mein was plain spaghetti with tasteless chicken, zero seasoning.

Always consistent in the food and delicious I like everything they have on their menu Especially the sweet and sour soup read more

Always great food when you come here. You can't beat the prices, service and food quality!

The only reason i gave one star is because it wont let you post review without at least a star. I just moved from Houston, so I guess I'm spoiled, but this was the worst general tso's chicken I've ever had. But even worse customer service. They refused to take it off the bill. I asked for a soup to replace the general tso's but they would only exchange another chicken dish. Since the chicken I already tried was terrible I declined. Needless to say, first and last time here. They actually said people order that dish all the time and like it. Anyway, fast food on the way home! read more

Overcharged. Paid for Large rice order, got small. Paid with cash, still charged credit card fee. Hidden fee for To Go soup containers - $2 each - serioously? Food was okay - but paid nearly $10 too much - they didn't care or apologize. We won't be back. read more

Worst Chinese food we have ever eaten. My husband could not even eat his. I told the waitress his food was not good and she was very rude. read more

I came in around lunch time. The room was huge with lots of open space and tables. I was seated immediately. There were a lot of patrons, and most of the tables were filled (~30 people total). I ordered Mongolian beef as usual. This wasn't a lunch special, but I was willing to try it out anyway because I've tasted plenty of Mongolian beef elsewhere and I wanted to compare it with the place here. I got steam rice on the side for flavor neutralization. The food came promptly, which was a surprise, given the amount of folks. I did notice that everyone else had the lunch special ($5.44 and you get an egg roll) with the pork fried rice, that made the rice orange colored! I don't know how they seasoned it, but I hadn't seen this before. I actually wanted to try it, but didn't get a chance as I had a half hour time constraint. Regardless, I had my entree, and I noticed it was rather plain in sight when it arrived. There were only two ingredients: beef and green onions. I did not see regular onions. I did not see traces of garlic. I did not see any peppers. It was seasoned, but lacking what I believe to be core ingredients for this dish. Mongolian Beef is typically served spicy, often times with the crunchy noodles (sorry I don't know what this is called, but it gives it a GREAT texture). Any exception to this will more than likely be subpar in my book! = / Such is the case here. read more

This place is so underrated! Every time I'm in town I HAVE to stop by. The food is amazing. I get the orange chicken combo plate and it's the BEST. read more

The food had no flavor and we couldn't didn't even finish because it was bland. They need to add more seasoning.

Foods is alright. Their hot tea is good. Water tasting passed. Good for Victoria.... Duck is great. read more

Very good Chinese food. I have been coming here for years. You cannot beat their lunch special.

Ugh. This place was so depressing. Looking around there werent many options for Chinese in Victoria, so we decided to try our luck with Dragon Palace. Bad move. We placed an order for pick-up and it was ready within 15 minutes. Upon bringing it home we realized we had made a very bad gamble. Now, I am not super picky with Chinese food. As long as it is decent I can pretty well tolerate anything, but this was just not good in any way. All the vegetables seemed mushy and canned. The fried rice was bright orange and tasted of nothing. All the meat was really fatty and grisly. None of the dishes had much flavor or salt at all. How do you mess up fried rice? Anyway, I would usually give a place a second chance, but I dont think anything could save this place, sadly. read more

Authentic Chinese food? ehhh not quite. Very good local favorites?! Plenty of those! Dragon Palace is known for their daily specials and you can score quite a yummy meals for a great price. There are few traditional items on the menu that don't quite meet the bar but are still tasty. read more

What can I say about this place it's been here forever! The food hasn't changed one bit! The only thing that has changed is the people worked there over the years. They have lunch specials which is different from day to day! Sometimes fast sometimes slow! read more

I grew up in Victoria, and this restaurant was my first experience with non-american food. I just went back after almost 15 years, and I was worried that it would not stand up to the nostalgia and new experiences with other foods. I was wrong! This place is delicious even as an adult! We just had some egg rolls and dumplings because we had a short time to eat, but the service was quick and polite, the entire restaurant was very clean, and the food was hearty and well priced. Best part is that I'm pretty sure the tiny gold fish I knew as a kid are the same carp-sized fish in the fish tank. If they can keep fish alive that long, you know the kitchen is well run and clean. read more

I notice that this place doesn't have very good reviews however, I gave it the full 5 stars because I went in and the place was clean, the servers were attentive, the prices were ridiculously low for the amount of food that they serve you and the food was superb. What else can you really ask for? read more

Very disappointing. The fried rice had an odd orange color and slight curry flavor. The wonton was hard and inedible. The Shrimp in lobster sauce contained canned mushrooms, soggy snow peas and tail-on gritty shrimp. My dad ordered the orange chicken, which wasn't like any orange chicken I've ever had (and not in a good way). The prices were reasonable, but it wasn't worth it. read more

So disappointed. General Tao's chicken was very trough. Chicken fried rice was orange and not flavorful. Egg rolls were bland and had an odd taste. Only thing I could eat was the fried rice. read more

Pleasant atmosphere, friendly and quick service. My husband ordered the Sweet & Sour Pork and I ordered the General Tos Chicken both from the lunch special section. The S&S Pork was dried out and appeared to be sort of dredged in flour then deep fried, it had an awful flavor of old oil. The General Tos chicken was the same as the pork but I couldn't really decide if it was actually chicken or not. The rice that came with the meal was an orange color and had the same oil taste. The waitress offered to replace my dish with another so I tried the Chicken wings and it was just as bad. We decided to just pay and leave hungry rather than suffer trough. Undoubtedly the worst food I've ever had. read more

My husband and I have been eating there for at least 20 yrs. The wait staff has always been more than accommodating. The food is delicious and the prices are more than fair. They have the BEST TEA! The Mongolian Beef... you just gotta try it!!! Won-Ton soup is not so bad either. And no, I am not 80 years old! Haters just gotta hate. read more

This place is hidden, but it is cheap and the best Chinese food in Victoria. Great service, mouthwatering food that kept everyone happy.

Food and service is great! I always stop at Dragon Palace when I'm in town! One of the best Chinese restaurants I've been too hands down. LOVE the fried rice! read more

I've eaten here for years because my family enjoys it. I do find the nuclear orange rice a bit odd, but the egg rolls taste so delicious! I'm not a fan of their fried chicken dishes. The pressed chicken is much better. They have really affordable lunch specials but I've found that the really good items are hidden in that fancy red menu. The vegetable lo mien is superb compared to the mediocre (but still tasty) specials. Also, the wonton soup is worth noting. The place did some remodeling a few years back which made it look a bit more inviting however they skipped the bathrooms so beware. I like to sit by the fish tank because I'm a dork. All the staff is really nice (surprisingly, after my racist family makes fun of their accents frequently...I swear I don't take part.) All in all, good place for Victoria standards. read more

The past few times I have been here I have been highly disappointed. Their lunch specials are cheap but the food is bad quality.

Seriously, what is everyone talking about? This is far from Chinese food. I can taste the freezer they store the chicken in the sesame chicken I ordered. Not fresh ingredients. The fried rice looks like Mexican rice, won ton soup tastes like water and soy sauce, 3 or 4 drops. First and last time. read more

You get what you pay for with your food. The eggrolls are good and the dumplings while a little too thick were also good. They have only unsweet iced tea but their hot tea is amazing. Me and my friends would come here again read more

Hands down best Chinese restaurant in Victoria. I got yelp so I could write this review. If you're expecting the high end atmosphere of a 5 star Michelin restaurant then check that shit at the door. The Palace may not have the bells and whistles of a PF Changs but they always have the best food and friendliest staff (lemon chicken is always a go to favorite.) I live in Houston but I was born and raised and still have family in Victoria. Whenever I'm in town this is definitely one of the spots we always go to. Fuck Olive Garden; at the Palace when you're here you're family. read more

Best sweet and sour chicken ever! Great for groups and for people who love Chinese food.

Walking in I found the decor pleasing and the lighting to fit the mood of a Chinese restaurant. The lady who served my party's table was very respectful and attentive to our drinks. The menu provided loads of options. On the back of the menu are daily specials for $5.95. I chose General Tao's chicken which was pleasing but drenched in sauce. The fried rice was bright orange-yellow and didn't have a strong flavor (which I prefer in rice. it's rice I don't want an overpowering flavor). I also ordered egg drop soup which was tasty. Our waitress put these lil bowls of strawberryish sauce on our table and we had no idea what to do with em. When no one was looking I snagged a piece of chicken on a nearby table that the group had left and tried it with the sauce. It wasn't bad but I still don't understand it's purpose. Overall this place is not high quality but has tasty food for a cheap price which is something I'm down for. read more

This place is hit or miss with the food. One min it's great and the next day its dry rice with dried up pork pieces, hard as concrete wontons, flavorless entrées and gross pre made sweet and sour sauce which is really plum sauce they are trying to pass off as but anyhoo yea just know if you go there you will be greeted with a smile and receive very good service but the food is lackluster. read more
