We've been ordering for a few years and I agree with others who've said 'new low' on here. "Dim sum combination" - I expected this to be dim sum, but no. It's everything but. Not terrible tasting things but just not what I wanted.The satay sauce is also not a satay sauce. I don't know what it was. Some watery, red liquid that didn't taste like anything at all, but definitely not peanut sauce. Also wasn't hot. In fact, the spring roll in the "dim sum combination" was hotter.The category "vegetable dishes" is a complete misnomer. The box was full of white onion and a few strips of pepper with the tofu, but not what you expect when you read vegetable dishes. Just a shame that you can't get a vegetarian dish with vegetables.The rice was nice and the tofu was ok but again, the completely wrong sauce and it didn't taste like anything at all.China Palace, you need to improve your meals!!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are just tofu with sauce

Order from this place for years, tonight an item was missed,I rang and was told it will be delivered ,,nothing came, I rang back told drivers collected but is stuck in traffic,,I live just off the road from the takeaway ,less than 1/4 mile away,and the road was clear,I can walk to the takeaway in under 4 mins by car takes under 1 min ,but not tonight as I have severe sciatic nerve pain and cannot walk.Its so annoying when youre lied to by a place youve ordered from for years. so dissapointed ,If i could have walked up I would have.Told to ask for item next time. spent £27 and had to share another meal.

I ordered online and picked up my meal on Saturday evening (13th Jan)The meal was totally inedible , this is the second time it’s happened . Used to be the best Chinese in Prestwich but they won’t get a third opportunity. I will never go back . Duck was so burnt it couldn’t be eaten at all . Ver

Absolutely shocking delivery service waited nearly 2 hours for cold food. China Palace used to be excellent, poor service and poor
Adam Farrer
Great food and great service. I’ve been using this place for years and it never lets me down. Recommend the salt and pepper chips, the mushroom foo yung and the sweet and sour king prawn.

This used to be fantastic but it's really so poor, I was very unhappy with the food,very,very disappointed.

Terrible Service. Gave us egg fried rice instead of chips and when we called them they said they realised after they had sent it out for delivery and next time we order we would get free chips. We refused as one of us have an egg allergy and asked them to send the chips out and it took over an hour to get here. By this point rest of the food was cold and the person on the phone was incredibly rude about the situation
Used to go here regularly years back when I lived in Prestwich.and it was great, moved further away and now I'm more local again although in Radcliffe. Tried a number of Chinese takeouts in my area and none beat China Palace. Although seems management/chefs have changed and the food is different it is still great and always fresh!

This is not the same establishment as when I last visited, it’s changed chef I’m sure. Food didn’t blow us away like it used to. Rice or chips with main courses are extra. Wasn’t worth the money.Hot& sour soup was ok till I chewed on a chilli then it burnt my tongue ..same with my wife! No bamboo shoots or chestnuts in the special fried rice though served in 6.5 minuits. Shop was empty so alarm bells there then…it used to be full to busting last time the others had it. The food overall didn’t have a good aroma so we binned the other half instead of saving for another meal.Should have cost a lot less than I paid even with complementary prawn crackers which we don’t do. This is an honest review as promised to the girl who served me

Called last evening for a takeaway and told rice or chips with a main meal is extra but that she would charge me half price? The food was hot but not a patch to my last visit some years back. WASNT WORTH THE LONG BIKE RIDE FROM MIDDLETON. It had a funny aroma that we both couldent get our heads around. Big enough portions for two but I will give it a miss from now on. Shame as it was the best in Manchester years ago. There was no bamboo shoots or chestnuts in the special fried rice at all !!
