My wife and I have been on a bit of a quest around the Treasure Valley, hoping to find an…read moreauthentic, old-school Chinese restaurant--the kind that reminds you of classic family dinners, cozy booths, and generous portions. After countless places that just didn't quite hit the mark, we're thrilled to say: we finally found it at China Palace! We've driven past this little gem countless times while heading down old State Street, always remarking, "We've really got to try that place someday." Well, last night, someday finally came--and we're so glad it did. From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping back in time in the best way possible. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with that nostalgic charm you just don't find much anymore. The menu had all the classics we were hoping for, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious--full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and served in generous, hearty portions that left us with leftovers for the next day (which we're not complaining about!). What truly elevated our experience, though, was the service. Rebecca took care of us, and she was phenomenal--friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel right at home. It's rare these days to find that kind of thoughtful, personal service, and it made a great meal even better. If you're looking for a no-frills, truly authentic Chinese dining experience with great food and warm hospitality, we highly recommend giving China Palace a try. It might just become your new go-to spot too.

Everyone who has worked or socialized Downtown in Boise is guaranteed to have been here at least once. The food tends towards the Americanized Chinese food of yesteryear, with classics like shrimp egg foo young, hot & sour soup, potstickers, and orange pork being standouts. The Beef Chow Fun and Shrimp Har Gow are some standouts among the more authentic offerings. The dining room is clean, spacious, with comfortable booths. The service is warm, friendly, accommodating, and is good for large groups and hosted events. Portion sizes are generous, served family style, with tea service included.

We ordered a glass of their Sauv Blanc and it paired very well with the Panang Curry and Tom Kha soup. They are very generous with their portions! The staff were knowledgeable and kind - even when they were slammed with customers! We even got to meet the owners - who were beyond courteous. They have ample seating and bar top service as well. The atmosphere is upbeat and very clean. My only feedback is that the restaurant can get very busy and a dedicated hostess may help with the flow of oncoming customers.
