As Ushers«yeah» was playing over the speakers, 3 buddy’s and myself enjoyed a delicious meal on a Sunday afternoon. The food was fresh and continually attended to. Highly recommend their chicken on a stick. While Usher was playing, the power went out. People stayed calm and continued eating only to be turned back on within 3 minutes and Usher back to keep everyone in a good mood. All I could have used were some strobe lights and a beer.

Nothing special, but a very good value. A nice Chinese buffet with tasty food. The décor is unique with a kind of funky vibe. The food is pretty much a standard selection, but what is out is well prepared and tasty. With a price of $ 4.99 for lunch a good value. Not worth a special trip, but if you are nearby, worth stopping by.

for a buffet this is the best value and quality I have ever seen. All of the servers were pleasant the food was hot and mostly fresh and the price was awesome! $ 4.99 for lunch and $ 7.99 for dinner definately would patronize this establishment again

I was completely disappointing when I came for their dinner buffet. I guess I can’t expect much for the price but from the service to the food I will NEVER go back again. I went on a Thursday evening around 6:30pm. The food had minimal appeal and majority of the pans were empty. The sushi area contained 3 pieces of sushi if that. The ice c ream station was dirty and the ice cream seemed old and freezer burned. The server came to my table once and never to be seen again! yep no more Oriental Palace for me!

Came here for my son’s 8th birthday dinner(per his request) this place has gone way down hill. Ripped seats through out all repaired with grey duct tape. Greasy, nasty, slippery floors from the front of the house to the back. Only half of the food selections from the past visits. I literally lost my appetite while looking around. On the up side the staff was friendly as usual but with that said NEVER coming back.

Nothing super special, but it is clean and the food is fresh and tasty which is all we can ask for in a buffet.

Not that anyone expects much from these under $ 10 Asian buffets, and if your one of those people is just as bad as you might expect it to be. As far as looks go it pretty gloomy and not cute. The food is nothing but average and edible but on the plus side it was hot… lol the server isn’t required to do much, I had to ask for my drink, a straw, and utensils(several times). You get what you pay for.

It’s a dump inside and the food is below average. It’s only 7.99 for dinner, but I left feeling ashamed that I didn’t spend more for something good.

Nightmare at the Oriental Palace Barffet. Called ahead to ensure they had pizza & fries for my 4 yr old kid otherwise we’d gone elsewhere. There by 6:30(prime dinnertime). 1. Décor /condition was horrifyling dungeonous. Neon green duct tape ALL over my booth seat. Counted 34! lights out in the ceiling. Not a single picture on walls. 2. Of course. No Pizza, No Fries on buffet! 3. Food was already mushy. all 10 dishes I tried. Plus No spring rolls! Really?! 4. Don’t ever go into their restroom, nuf said! So my kid ate a bowl of peaches and tried the«Ice cream» After gagging on the freezer burned cream we went to pay /complain. Manager didn’t even apologize or say anything about lying to us on phone about pizza/fries. My wife politely asked to remove kids meal, Manager left to go bicker w/the 2 «servers» then returned to fight about the bill and how much my daughter ate! After much debating, she flashed the peace sign & proclaimed«2 dollars for kid!» We laughed and said here’s $ 17.26 for 2 adults. She argued about our tax calculation, so guess they suck at math & making food! So take this as a lesson and save yourself from a terrible dining experience and go to China Wall at Great Northern. There are too many respectable Asian eateries to settle for the Nightmare at the Oriental Palass!

This place is okay for the price lunch was 499 for all-you-can-eat. They actually had Souci that was actually decent. I really like the salmon and the chicken wings.

I was pleasantly surprised. Food is served in Buffett style. It is a great place to go if you have the inkling for Chinese

I frankly cannot believe the lack of 5 star ratings for this establishment. We ordered carry out last evening. Moo Goo Gai Pan, Hunan Beef and Chicken with Cashews, all staples of Chinese restaurants. firstly, FRESHVEGETABLES, seasonal at that! Zucchini, peppers, onions, and carrots all fresh and not crinkle cut frozen like I have gotten from nearly EVERY Chinese restaurant. Meat was excellent and not overcooked. Egg rolls… HANDMADE! All was indicative of freshness as there was noted irregularity in the cut of the vegetables and size/shape of the egg roll. OH, and lets not forget the exceptional service and free chicken skewers because they made them by mistake. This is a carryout review, but I was amazed at how sizable and beautiful the interior was. I will be trying a dine in experience soon. Well done Oriental Palace. I will NEVER go to Jackie Chen’s again.

I’ve only ate lunch here and the price is amazing. Super cheap. Food is good for price but don’t expect much. Drinks are slow to get filled up. Always makes my stomach upset! Damn it!!!

The food is very good and it’s very inexpensive thought the service is terrible. When I eat the staff stare at you. It’s freaky.

Never had I seen such horrendous treatment from restaurant employees both as a patron and a former restaurant worker myself. I met a friend here twice in 2 weeks time, and the first time was for dinner. Everything went well, except for one instance when I paid the server a compliment, and she just looked at me and said nothing in return. I chalked it up to a possible language barrier, but there is no excuse for the condition of the restroom. I met the same friend here a second time here for a late lunch. This time, the server did not give any sort of verbal response or acknowledgment when my friend asked for a refill of his beverage. Then, the check was brought to the table, and a little while later we were told we had to pay and leave. As if that was not rude enough, the cashier then made it quite clear that she did not like how much time we spent dining at this facility because she was clearly keeping a close eye in us for some reason. She was extremely rude and argumentative, and to top it all off, she made it a point to run to the door after my friend and told him to «go f… himself». I then called and asked to speak to the owner, and the same cashier answered who also claimed to be the owner. She made no apologies, and we find out that she lied about being the owner. Do not dine at this establishment, and tell everyone you know to not dine here as well. With treatment like this, they do not deserve to stay in business.

Probably the most Westernized Asian buffet that I’ve been to in Cleveland. The dishes are all fairly greasy. On a Saturday night, there were some items that looked appetizing… and others that looked like they were out for a long time. I glanced at the sushi section briefly — and didn’t try any. The California rolls looked okay, but I would be hesitant to try anything with raw fish. Both of the steamed fish entrees offered were overcooked and did not taste the greatest. The best things I had there were probably the fried items(sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken). In summary, below average to average quality food in this buffet. The one selling point here is the low price — hard to beat $ 7.99 for dinner at a Chinese buffet on a Saturday evening.

I think I like the feel, look and memories of going with my Father and Bros, or a good group of friends. Its definitely not official, Hispanics are the main employees. The Asians just stay in the floor and ket them okay the background. My first time having frog legs was here and they just taste like, bland chicken, id say. Either way buffet, cant go wrong.

I LOVE the dumplings at this restaurant-including the potstickers, dim sum, and even the ones in the wonton soup! They seem a big step above the typical frozen ones found in other restaurants(could they be home-made?). Many other tasty dishes to be had for a reasonable price.

I succumbed to a primal urge to binge recently, and found myself at the Oriental Palace Buffet. I was once a regular at these types of places(and I was once 40 pounds heavier than I am today). That said, The Palace is really good food. The dining room is showing a bit of wear and tear, but as others have commented, the food is fresh, and does not sit on the line for too long. The staff were actively keeping the place clean and tidy while I was there, and they left me to my business. What was my business? Three plates full of delicious Chinese-style fast food. Baked seafood(krab, shrimp, a little breading, and cheese nom nom), Krab rangoon, egg drop soup, chicken on a stick, pepper steak, pot stickers, dumplings, steam buns, and spare ribs – all of these have I tried, and all of them were mighty fine. The only downfall is that the price for the buffet is a little higher than I like to pay, but they do have special nights where I think you can get the lunch price. If you are in West CLE, and you want China buffet, give this place a shot!
