China Palace - Scranton: Authentic American Chinese Cuisine with Friendly Service and Great Value

Been to many different restaurants and have found this one to have the best American style Chinese food around. The inside is always clean. My family calles it the good chinese Restaurant and always wants food from here. I live 30+ miles away from the restaurant, if I was closer I would be in there more often.

i did not very much enjoy the food, but i am rating 5 stars anyways for these reasons as follows: from the strip mall location, sparsely decorated entry way, the chandelier on the cheap school ceiling, fake flowers and classic paper chinese zodiac placemats on the tables, and the music playing so softly it's almost silent inside save for the clink of forks and plates from the four or so tables in for lunch (forks, not chopsticks, provided) and friendly kitchen chatter just out of earshot, this place sends me directly back to 8-year-old nostalgia, when my father would take me to places like this on days together, back in texas, when life was easy and simple. prompt help, choice of seat. lunch specials (many to chose from) come with pork fried rice, (which i asked to not be included so to my dietary preferences (god-related) so i cannot rate this dish), a choice of soup, wonton chips with sweet-and-sour dip, and a pot of hot tea. the water arrives in a goblet. perhaps i should have studied the menu longer, but my choices were as such: very goopy and gelatinous and disturbingly tasteless beef chow mein (i attempted to sprinkle some pepper in hopes of helping the poor thing out, but way too much came out of the shaker and it was pepper chow mein from then on), and egg drop soup that was ok but still very bland. i dipped my wonton chips into a combination of the soup and sauce which i liked the best out of everything. i really liked the tea. point is, this amount of food is simply worth the $<9 price tag, and the service was helpful, thoughtful, friendly, and sweet. next time i will try something else.

We are not local but stopped in for takeout after shopping. Everything was very good I couldn’t believe how heavy our bags were. They sent us home with little packets of tea, condiments and fortune cookies. Lots of white rice and steamed broccoli separate from our chicken which had lots of sauce and was yummy. Only complaint is the veg lo mein was a little dry but hubby said fried rice was delicious. We will definitely stop again when we are up that way

Smaller restaurant but very nice. A hidden spot in Dickson city. They serve you tea, water and fried noodles when you sit. The menu has the classics. Many people get take out here but dining in is nice. The staff is friendly and when the check comes it’s given with a cut up orange. I got the 10 ingredient fried rice, wonton soup, and vegetable roll and enjoyed everything very much

China Palace went down hill during the pandemic but now it is better than ever. The rice has little to no salt in it, there is always free water and Chinese tea, the egg rolls arent greasy and they always serve oranges after the meal. There is always enough to take home and prices are reasonable. The restaurant is clean and the owner and servers are really nice when you .first walk in

This place is honestly so good. The service was amazing, they gave us extra food on the side of what we ordered, and they were checking up on us very often. I would recommend this place.
