Al Palace - Costa Mesa

When the food arrived, it was piping hot, indicating that it was freshly made. The egg roll was possibly the best I’ve ever had; it paired perfectly with the hot mustard and offered three huge bites of deliciousness. The Mongolian beef was fantastic, loaded with onions—definitely a treat for onion lovers. Overall, I was very satisfied with both the meal and the service, and all of this for just $14 with tip. Next time, I’ll remember to take photos before I dive in!

Good Chinese takeout food with a dining room. WARNING if you choose the Add Noodles option to your lunch special, they will mix the noodles into your dish, rather than giving you a side of noodles. This turns out horrible of you choose something like the sweet and sour pork lunch special. You don 't want noodles mixed into that! Furthermore if you ask for the noodles on the side, they are just plain boiled noodles, nothing special. Anyway, the Chicken Chow Mein with soft noodles is by far their best dish. The sweet and sour pork was also good, and I like it more than the sweet and sour chicken. The Orange Chicken was not that great, flavorless. The Mongolian Beef was good. The Wor Wonton soup is great. The egg flower soup was excellent with robust flavor. The egg rolls are excellent. But they are served with ketchup, so I ask for sweet n sour sauce to dip them in. The egg foo young was disappointing, zero flavor. I wouldn 't be surprised if they told me that the gravy was made up of basically water, cornstarch, and brown food coloring. The Family meals are a great way to experience a variety of dishes. Lunch specials until 4pm. Oh ya, and while the wine is cheap quality, they make up for it by filling the wine glass to the top!

Al's Palace is one of my favorite places for Chinese food! It brings back memories of my father picking up dinner from here after work, and we would sit down to enjoy our meal and some tea together. The atmosphere is lovely, and the portion sizes are generous! Their lunch options are fantastic, especially the Chicken Chow Mein. I hope to bring my future family here because I truly love this place and want to share it with them!

Mandel-Hühner-Express-Lunch has been my go-to spot for almost 30 years for my favorite dish. It tastes just as good now as it did the very first time I ordered it.

What a find! Smaller and simple furnishings, but WOW, the food was great. I had lunch in Singapore Noodles, my friend had vegetable noodles. The parts were HUGE, as in the old days. Friendly and professional staff. We were back a few days ago and had my Singapore Noodles and Chow Mein. Had to get a doggy bag to take the extra home. You have to try this little jewel.
