The inside looks fresh but no decorations on the walls. Also, I didn't recognize any of the workers at the restaurant. The previous worker knew our orders by heart since we used to eat here pretty regularly. I ordered the Sesame Chicken lunch special since that's what I always order. The first thing I noticed is that apparently the hot sour soup is no longer included with the lunch special. Next, the sauce on sesame chicken had a thinner consistency than what it usually was. It tasted the same (delicious) but was quite a bit more liquid than before. Overall, I was still very satisfied with the taste, quality and amount of food on my plate. We'll certainly be back again.

The whole dining space looks really stunning and comfortable for dining in. It was amazing watching the chef cook in the open kitchen! I ordered the Sichuan shrimp combo fried rice and Mongolian beef. The Sichuan shrimp combo fried rice was perfectly wok‑hei, well‑seasoned, plenty of plump, juicy shrimp in every bite. Mongolian beef was absolutely fantastic, tender slices of beef coated in rich, savory‑sweet sauce, not overly greasy at all. Every dish tasted fresh and full of flavor. The staff provided excellent, attentive service, very polite and quick to respond to requests. Service was friendly and efficient. This place is definitely on my to go list, highly recommend stopping by!

The Cantonese-style Seabass paired quite lovely with Shrimp Fried Rice and Combination Veggies!!! The seabass was topped with sliced ginger and onions. It was super tasty!It reminded me of home cooked meals growing up. The shrimp in the fried rice was tender and lighted dusty with some type of flour that made it perfectly crisp. And the combination veggies was perfectly cooked and served in a light sauce! Thing is, I'm not a huge fan of "Asian Fusion" but this place seemed to hit all the boxes for us. Go give Folsom Palace a try! p.s. Each dish was beautifully presented and smelled amazing as they walked up... that I totally forgot to take pictures (lol).

But I see single diners getting a quick lunch etc. The dining area is clean and orderly. Every time I have been here the staff is friendly, helpful and nice. I appreciate the quick attention to service as well. Never a wait. They offer appetizers, Full means and Ala Cart, I generally order ala carts family style. Today I got Orange chicken which was juicy, flavorful and lots of orange slices picked up the fresh flavor, the garlicy green beans were next they were delicious, beans not over cooked very tasty. I like they are not afraid to flavor the things they cook- I also ordered the black bean beef and beans, the meat was flavorful and tender, beans perfect. I ordered the chow mein, vegetables were crisp and noodles perfectly cooked. The stir fry on everything was excellent in taste and cooked. Affordable, quick and fresh. I do not have their menu in front of me to give the pricing but out of all the places that I've been to for Chinese food the ratio of what you're getting for the price is a value. I would return and I do return they sit right next to Jimbo's tacos on Arden Way plenty of parking... I hope they stay in business, I like supporting local small businesses. Good job!

I've been here about 3 times and they've had good service each time. The interior was clean during the one time I went inside to order and the drive-thru area always looks good as well. It's in the same parking lot as Food Maxx I think, or next to it if not, and located near the street, making it easy to whip in and get to grubbing quickly! The last 2 visits, the same employee helped me and she was friendly and my order came out fast. The only negative thing that happened here was that one order of grilled chicken breast turned out to be thigh and I didn't discover the mistake until I got home but other than that, the food and portion size is on point. This location is actually a little farther than another location for me but it's better so I take the extra time to come up here.

Many times when dining random people will just come in and refill their cups with soda and ice that are not paying customers. They do not get turned away or stopped. During my most recent visit, a homeless man entered and sat next to us. He started then helping himself to the soda dispenser and ice. I politely asked the staff if they would address it and ask him to leave as he smelled very bad and was making it hard to enjoy my meal. The staff did nothing. Could care less. I do not think I will be back to this location as I do not want to support a business that does not prioritize their paying customers over thieves and homeless people that smell and deter people from eating there.

Travis the manager didn't show up to my 1 on 1 interview. I called the store to reschedule. Travis told me he had better things to do than interview people. Then lied about traveling from north highlands to roseville and back to north highlands in 20 minutes. This interview was scheduled for 3 days. If there was problem, call me to reschedule or have the associates tell me to wait for a bit or come back. Total disrespect from the manager Travis, I was a potential employee. You need to be fired! read more

I recently discovered the Panda Express and I'm hooked! The drive-through was a game-changer for a quick pick-up on my way to school. The service was incredibly fast and easy, making it perfect for busy days. I fell in love with their black pepper chicken--it's absolutely delicious! The staff even provided extra sauces without me asking, which was a lovely touch. Definitely coming back for more! Highly recommend this location for its convenience and great food. read more
