Golden Palace

Don’t judge a book by its cover. It’s a little run down but the waitress was friendly and attentive and the food was really good. We’ll be going back for sure!

My husbands family loves it here. I hate it. Chinese food in idaho is so much different from Cali’s.

I am so disappointed. I walked into this restaurant expecting a nice clean dining experience and ended up walking out.
I frequented this place as a kid and it had some of the best Chinese around.
Now…
First thing I notice is mass confusion from waitstaff and a frantic attempt to get things under control. Waitress seats us and grabs a napkin from another table to wipe the table that had obviously not been wiped down since, who knows how long. As I sit, I notice that the table is most certainly not clean. I grab my silverware and napkin to slide it forward and it is sticking to the table. Disgusting. I look around, food all over the floor. As I am sitting there I think, «If it is like this at my table and the floors look like this, then how will the kitchen look? Do I really want to roll the dice with food poisoning?» I discuss the situation with my wife and we decide to leave.
It saddens me to say this, but, I will not return to this place.

Potstickers were very tasty, just not hot enough…
My General Ching’s Chicken was very good, the boyfriend has to send his shrimp chow mein back as he asked for ‘pan fried noodles’ and they came soggy — be sure you are specific if you want them crispy!

A classic example of not judging by the cover, golden palace proved itself with excellent service, well prepared and promptly delivered food, and colorful aquariums surrounding the room. Though not many reasons to visit Caldwell, the Golden Palace is definitely one of them.
