You can't beat the price for lunch. Including the meal, tax, tea, and tip ... $7. The problem - it still wasn't worth it. Don't get me wrong, the "palace" is pretty comfortable, better than East Wind down the block, but I was really disappointed...with the food. I ordered the Hunan Beef, which, based on the name of the restaurant, should be their signature meal. I don't remember ever getting a tomato sauce as the base of this dish!? It's not at all what I expected. On top of that, it was exceedingly bland, even though I asked for it extra spicy. I really hate giving poor reviews, but if you're over in this area looking for Asian food, you may be better off driving down the street to Nathan's Noodles.
As of this writing there are ninety-six restaurants in Elmhurst. I plan on eating at, and reviewing, every one. For a complete list of Elmhurst restaurants see my list at 'eatingelmhurst.blogspot.com’More
