"UPDATE: 3.5 stars I noticed they now list the ingredients of their curry's on their online menu. 3 stars. This review is strictly for their MASSAMAN. My daughter loves their fried rice so we often order it for her to go. It is good, but very oily for my taste. They will make it with less oil when I ask. I decided to try their Massaman curry today. They are not a Thai restaurant but have several Thai dishes on their menu. Massaman curry is pretty simple, meat, potatoes, and typically onions, maybe carrots and cashews. The cashews may just be something most restaurants around me do since I have seen peanuts as well. There aren’t any descriptions on their menu so I thought that it would be prepared like other Thai restaurants prepare it. It was not. First the sauce was thin and oily. I’m not sure if it had any coconut milk in it or not. There were no potatoes or cashews but loads of green beans, broccoli, green peppers (which I do not like and would have excluded) red peppers, BASIL and some onions. Pretty much everything I like about Massaman curry as a dish was absent. (I like the potatoes, the thick coconut creaminess of the curry sauce and the crunchy nuts). The flavor was pretty good, but I couldn’t really taste the Massaman. The basil won out. If you like the curry Massaman, but don’t like the way it is typically served then you would probably like this. The chicken was good as were the veggies, it just wasn’t what I wanted at all, and would have chosen something else if a description had been listed. I just wanted to give others a heads up if they were thinking about ordering it."

"Update 8/30/21 Our new family favorite. The Wor Wonton soup Is delicious . When your in the mood for soup this is the order. The flavor of the broth is like no other. Enjoy We have been looking for a good old fashioned Chinese restaurant like the ones we used to eat at when we were growing up. Those of you who grew up in Boyle Heights and East LA might remember the New Formosa café before the owners closed up shop in early 2000’s. Then Paul’s Kitchen in Monterey Park. They closed maybe 10yrs or less ago. I grew up with their delicious dishes. Now in San Gabriel Valley you think I could find at least an average Chinese restaurant well we haven’t. Today I went to Google to find a well rated Chinese restaurant. We discovered Grandview Palace. It’s rated 4.3 Stars of 5. Well let me bend your ear for a bit. The food here is DELICIOUS!! My family just loved it. We definitely will be ordering from here again. I usually don’t eat or enjoy the Mongolian beef that my husband and son love. Let me tell you I couldn’t avoid tasting the dish. It was so good I made sure to serve some on my plate. We got a little bit of everything so that we can gage the taste of everything that I know my family likes. I should say Loves!! The Lo Mein was just as delicious but when it came to the Egg Foo Young OMG, we finally had some that tasted like what we ate before at the other restaurants that no longer exist. I have included pics of the dishes but we couldn’t hold off eating the food before all of the pics were taken. Don’t let me forget to tell you that the pork egg rolls were the bomb. I'm so glad for all those of you who rated this restaurant so well so that I could try it. Thank you Google."
