Been coming to this restaurant for fifteen years and for the last year have been noticing the quality of food going down little by little although overall has good flavor and seasoning, portions of food generous. BUT, definitely take out orders change everything on the food, including look, aromas, so in covid times probably to be conscious about this when ordering...... read more

Been here twice. The food is excellent but the customer service needs to improve. They took their time to greet and seat us when there were few tables available.Then they forgot to place napkins, silverware & water. We had to ask for each and everything! Coming to the food, we ordered sweet corn chicken soup, happy family, basil beef and vegetable chowmein. Everything was delicious! read more

This was my first time coming here. I've had it bookmarked for a while, but I'm rarely on this side of town. I went pretty late ~2ish, so the lunch crowd was long gone. I was seated quickly and decided to get the king pao chicken (off of the lunch menu). I got my food relatively quickly and it was delicious. The chicken was actually big chunks of white meat chicken versus some of the bits of chicken you get at other places. The lunch portion was huge and the soup that came along was also very delicious. I'll be returning :) read more

I had lunch at Folsom Palace on 7/31/12. Awesome food, the decor is both welcoming and intimate and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. I also had the pleasure of meeting Bill, one of the owners. He told me about his family's restaurants in the Bay Area and that they wanted to open their new restaurant in a city with a more leisurely pace. We were lucky enough to have them choose Folsom. I had the Mongolian Beef with steamed brown rice...YUM! It was one of the best versions of this dish I have ever had and I don't say that lightly. I want the beef to be tender, the sauce with just the right blend of spices, soy and oyster sauce and the onions caramelized to sweet perfection. They hit the mark! The onions were perfectly caramelized and the dish was perfectly sauced. Not too much and not too little. The beef was so tender and perfectly cut into beautiful bite-sized pieces. My compliments to the chef. I will be going back later this week for dinner and look forward to another wonderful meal. I hope you will take the time to stop by and have lunch or dinner. You won't be disappointed. Thank you for choosing Folsom. I wish you and your family much success and an overflowing dining room. read more

Well, the reviews are pretty mixed about this restaurant, but I have to say it's one of my favorites. I've been twice now - once for a special birthday dinner - and found the staff to be courteous, attentive and charming. The chef stopped by before we left to see how things were - and they were excellent. They even brought the birthday "girl" a complimentary dessert! The food is very good (lemon chicken & mushroom-water chestnut -other veggies dish), no MSG and less fat, and VERY tasty. The presentation is charming. The atmosphere is excellent - small enough to be cozy and large enough not to be cramped. I agree with another reviewer that the music is a bit overbearing and not conducive to the otherwise very peaceful dining experience. But I could easily overlook it because everything else is so good! It's my new favorite restaurant - Asian or not. read more

Place is so small that it's not worth sitting in if u really want to enjoy good company. Restaurant on Friday night was super busy n a lot of to-go orders. We ordered orange chicken, fried rice n fried noodles. Food was so salty that we had to send it back. My friends liked this place n I wanted to enjoy Chinese food but for me it was a huge disappointment. read more

First and foremost , I called to make sure they had honey walnut shrimp and they do. The guy who answered had a very welcoming voice , so I decided to give it a try . They restaurant is elegant , the setting my is nice and they also have an outside area to dine in . They serve orange infused water , which is very refreshing. You receive soup or salad with your meal . Today's soup was hot and sour , it was really good and comforting . Also a little spicy , not to spicy . My entree was honey walnut and shrimp with fried rice . The bomb !!! Walnuts were fresh and crispy , shrimp was nice a big . Overall great read more

My family and I have been here 3 times, and I am happy to say that this is my new favorite Chinese food place. The ingredients have a lot of flavor and taste! The have their menu broken up by the type of meat in each dish, and they have a Vegetarian Section of the menu. Every dish that we have had was full of flavor! We had a very friendly and social waiter named Raven. Not only did he recommend delicious items, he was very charismatic and joyous. He made our meal an experience. The restaurant is very class, with white table cloths and nice decorations. The waiters were all properly dressed in black, and the men wore button-up shirts. The dress of the clientele was all casual. read more

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Folsom but the quality of both their food and service is almost nonexistent. I ordered takeout and when I got home ( less than 10 mins) I was disgusted at what I had discovered. The food was absolutely putrid and the owners refused to give me a refund even though I brought back the entire order, which I did not eat out of because of the spoiled smell which was so bad it made me gag. When I confronted the owners they not only harassed me, yelled at me, and even called the police then refused to let me leave. The male owner (wearing red) physically blocked me from leaving despite the female owner (wearing black) screamed at me, called me a liar despite my loyalty to them over the years, and even aggressively charged at me before other employees intervened. Needless to say I will never go back and to those considering I highly recommend you scratch this off your list. read more

38 dollars for 2 entrees (delivered)... didn't even get steamed rice.... ok, but not 40 damn dollars ok... who charges that much for chinese food, seriously?? read more

We enjoy Chinese food. However , our meal recently at Folsom Palace was a disaster except for a good bowl of war wonton soup. Snow peas and chicken overpowered by garlic and black, slimy mushrooms. Even worse, CRISPY noodle dish floating in a strong sauce. After finally locating ONE crispy noodle, we left the remainder of the dish. Server never returned to our table even tho restaurant not busy. When waitress finally brought our bill, I told her about the sopping noodles. Her exact comment: "you should have sauce ordered on side next time when you come back." At $48 for tea, soup and 2 inedible dishes, we do not plan to return. Too many other decent Chinese restaurants in Folsom. read more

Lady owner was very rude. I ordered over the phone and they sent wrong item. Owner started arguing saying she will not change the order. Very disappointed in their service read more

I ordered a tofu dish, it came out burnt, literally. Which made the dish taste bitter. So I told the waiter. He took it back to the cook, and the cook came out. He told me, "because the wok is very hot, sometimes the tofu will burn". Then he just walked away. Terrible experience. Won't be back. read more

Fast service, GREAT food!! Loved the MuShu pork, best we have had in a long time!! Highly recommend this place. read more

Last minute decision on lunch and this was close by. Great choice. The food is fresh and the chicken is tender. I got the Thailand eggplant chicken dish. Total of about 20 mins for three lunch combo platters. Great portion for the price and I'll definitely be back. Thanks Brian for the great customer service! read more

Folsom Palace - Thailand style eggplant chicken. The basil makes this dish! - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

Got delivery for 5 items. On the website said free delivery over 30 dollars. When driver showed up charged us extra for delivery brought us no utensils, napkins or plates with delivery. Plus overcharged us for the food we got and didn't give us enough. Put a very small amount of food in the boxes. read more

Eeeh..... Save your money. Editable but not good. One dish was gross and they wouldn't take it off the bill but gave me a 3.00 discount. Lol The water and coke was excellent... the rest ehh... read more

We went to Folsom Palace for the first time this past Sunday night. First impression was great - small and cozy, and all of the tables were covered with white linen tablecloths, looked crisp and clean. We ordered the Szechuan beef, Almond Chicken, Pork Fried rice and Chicken Chow Mein. I was NOT that thrilled when my beloved ordered the Almond chicken - a dish I normally find bland (I was planning on sharing his!) However, all of the dishes were REALLY good. The Szechuan beef had a red pepper next to it on the menu, indicating that it was spicy, and there were red chilis in the dish, but it wasn't hot at all. The Almond chicken was a total surprise - not the usual chopped celery, chicken and almonds, but big chunks of veggies and chicken and accented with nuts - best Almond chicken I have ever had. Same with the the Szechuan beef - big pieces of fresh veggies. I loved it all! Huge portions, served family style at night. I definitely would go again, and as a bonus, the waitress (maybe owner?) was nice and the water was flavored with lemon and served in crystal glassware. Try it out! read more

Fancy Chinese. Sat down, glanced at menu. Confirmed there are no combo plates. Debated paying $50 eh no, decided to just go somewhere else. Paid for $6 beer and left. The place is clean and pretty and they have a wine list. But my issue was u have to order per item. So sweet n sour pork $12, fried rice$10, chowmein $10, hot and sour soup $9 that's 42.00 and way too much food. Yes that's left overs but I really didn't want more than just one meal. This place is only for ppl sharing food. I'm giving one star because i couldn't order there. read more

The food here is very fresh and tasty. The chow main is delicious, beef, chicken or shrimp cannot go wrong. Fried rice delicious. Special plates, very good. Highly recommended. read more

We like and enjoy the food. The place is clean. Staff is very professional and respectful. The price is reasonable.

Incredible food. Best chow mein in Folsom. Get the house chilli sauce for everything.

We have found a new place to go when we get our Asian cravin'. We were not expecting white tablecloths or folded cloth napkins or classical music in the background. The whole ambience was very upscale and very relaxing. The dinnerware was very nice and I liked the red plates and fancy apple garnishes on the food platters. The main attraction is the food. All our dishes had flavor. The Chinese would say, "Ho may", meaning, good flavor. The worst thing a Chinese person can say about a dish is that it had " no flavor". What can I say? I loved it all. read more

Our family has been coming to this restaurant since the day they first opened, and have never had a bad meal. The food is excellent, especially the Basil Chicken, and their Brown Fried Rice with Chicken. They pride themselves on serving fresh ingredients, and no msg. More in line with gourmet Chinese food, not your typical Panda Express. We feel it's the best Chinese food in this area. Definitely worthy of 5 Stars! read more

Yummy Asian food! We started with hot spicy wonton soup. Very Good. Lettuce wraps. Good. Snow White chicken with sweet snap peas and mushrooms and brown rice. Chicken was not as tender as it should have been. We ordered tea and our waiter forgot. read more

This place is the DA BOMB! I've been here twice and have no complaints. Anyone that lives in Folsom I highly recommend you check this place out. I can't remember what it was called that I ate but the server there said it was the most popular dish. It was some kind of noodle dish with chicken. The food was very fresh and flavorful. Definitely check it out. read more

My wife and I go to Folsom Palace regularly. The potstickers are a must have - the wrapper has a nice consistency, the filling amazing. We have not had a bad dish there. Nice to have the Thai option on the menu as well. Jenny is an amazingly gracious host. read more

This is our absolute most favorite Chinese food restaurant in Folsom and local area! Our 2.5 year old loves it too! During Covid, you can eat outside under the shaded structure and their staff wear masks. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We love their chicken chow menu (it's the best) and beef broccoli ! We love supporting a local business as well. Great quality and quantity of food. Enjoy! And you're welcome read more

Amazing food and amazing service EVERYTIME!! The Chow Fun and Chow Mein are to DIE FOR. The Mongolian Beef is out of this world. Do yourself a favor and check them out, hands down the best Chinese food in the area. read more

We were on our way home from a road trip and stopped in here with no idea what to expect. Chinese food can be really hit or miss on if it's good. This one was great! Everything tasted really clean, not stodgy and greasy like some places. The decor was pretty, the ceiling lanterns were fascinating for my four year old. We had the chicken salad and chicken with veggies. The salad was so good with delicious crispy chicken and I'd love to know what was in that creamy dressing! My husband really enjoyed his chicken with veggies too. It was large portions which we ended up having two meals from. The only reason they didn't get five stars was the potstickers we ordered for my son. The wrappers were so thick and doughy. The interior was good, but i wouldn't order them again unless they improve the doughy issue. The waiter left us pretty much alone until we were ready for our bill which may be a con for some, but is what we prefer. read more

Consistently great food. The spices and the quality of the ingredients are what makes the food so very awesome. I have been coming here for over 5 years, and I cannot find any other Chinese restaurant that can be better than Folsom Palace. No MSG, refined cooking style, great taste. Great assortment of dishes to please anybody. Thank you Bill and Jenny for a great place to eat. read more

This place is pricey. I paid $27 for chicken chow mein and General Chicken. Both dishes were the best Chinese food I have ever had. I took mine to go but inside the restaurant looked very nice. I was there before the lunch rush so the service was adequate. read more

20$ for 3 paddies of egg fu young. Oh, and white rice is extra. No wonder the place was empty. They must be out of their minds......

The restaurant was empty when I arrived. I was seated and brought water, and he took my order a few minutes later. It took at least 15 minutes to receive my glass of wine. That was the last time my waiter came to my table. After at least 30 minutes I went to the bar to ask about my food, and the young man who took my order went to the kitchen to check. A few minutes later he left the restaurant to deliver a takeout order, without updating me. I asked a bus boy, and was told "they're making it now. They thought they already made it." at this point 4 other parties who came in after me had been served their food. I was charged too much for my wine and had to ask for a corrected bill. I had to ask for more water with my food. I never was asked if I needed anything or how my food was the whole time I was there. I will never return. The food was adequate, they seem to do a lot of takeout business, MANY to-go orders were picked up while I waited at my table. But their seated patrons are clearly not a priority. read more

It was my first time coming here and I throughly enjoyed it! There were a lot of food choices, although It may seem a little pricey, the portions are huge! It was definitely worth the money! I ordered the general tso chicken, vegetable chow mein, and Mongolian chicken! Those were on the chef's special so I decided to order it! I like how rich the flavors are and how it doesn't taste as salty as other Chinese food places. read more

This is my new favorite restaurant! I cant wait to come back and try everything on the menu. Literally everything sounded so good. Pretty extensive menu as well. High quality food prepared very well. Lots of crispy/fried options which I love. Only complaint is that I ordered cream cheese crab puffs and they forgot them (was not charged). So that part sucked. Service was really good though! I cant wait to come back! read more

Good food, white table cloth, hit or miss service. We've ordered take out (screwed that up = missing dishes, over charge) and dined in. Dine in is preferred (go early for best service, ambiance and cooked food quality), check your to-go bags BEFORE you leave if dining out. Overall, the food is good, very good...service, not so much. read more
