"This experience was not good and I don 't think the restaurant cares as no one even asked how the meal was. The General Tso chicken was deep fried something with a super sweet red glaze over it. It was very sweet but otherwise tasteless. If my eyes were closed I wouldn 't be able to tell the difference between it and the sweet and sour pork, which was also deep fried something in a heavy, red glaze. The pork fried rice was thick and gooey, no discernible flavor, no green peas or any color. The flavor of the rice was just plain salty soy sauce. The egg roll was so so but the best part of the meal. My husband got combo #5 which was supposed to be orange chicken and sweet and sour pork. It also came w pork fried rice and an egg roll. Same comments as my combo meal #6, in fact I couldn 't tell the difference between his meal and mine. Both meals were very bland and overly sweet. I took the posted pic right before we left and that 's how much I left behind. The meal was about $40 w tip which was really a shame. I had no desire to even bring it home. As we left the parking lot I half jokingly said "let 's compare Haggen Foods Chinese food to what we just ate. Guess what. It was 10 times better and 1/4 of the price. It was ridiculous. Haggen has a nice dining area with a gas fireplace, so you don 't feel pressured to tip for poor service. The Chinese kitchen at Haggen opens at 4pm, I 'd strongly recommend going there instead. We got a combo plate w 2 entrees and chow mein there for $8.99. The Mongolian beef was delicious and the sesame chicken was very good also. Their chow mein was great with lots of fresh veggies and a nice, light flavorful sauce! Next time I want good Chinese in Lake Stevens I 'll hit Haggen at 4pm and skip Lucky Dragon. I don 't usually leave bad reviews but this experience warranted one."

"I think the Alamo Palace Chinese Restaurant is maybe a 3.5 for it's food and service. I didn't want to rate it a 3 so I rounded up to 4 stars. The food and service is fine. I met a friend for lunch who only eats Chinese food so we have been trying different Chinese restaurants in Danville, Alamo and San Ramon. I had the string bean and beef lunch special that comes with sweet and sour soup, fried won ton skin, fried egg roll and rice that I upgraded to fried rice for an additional .50; you can upgrade to chow mein for 1.50 in lieu of rice. My buddy got baby Bok Choy and beef with white rice. The string beans were cooked nicely and the beef was soft, the fried items were good and the fried rice was basically eggs and rice fried with garlic (which gave it a nice flavor). My buddy said his lunch special was fine. The lunch specials are around 12 for most plates and you get enough food to fill your belly without overeating. I did learn something important. It is a good idea to ask how the entree is cooked and not assume it is cooked the same everywhere. A gentleman came in and had ordered General Tso's Chicken which is normally fried. He looked at his order and told the Owner it was not correct because it was not fried. The Owner said it was General Tso's Chicken and they don't batter and deep fry the chicken. Free lesson for me and my buddy My food was good and for the price I will go back and try other dishes (double-checking any entrees that I assume are deep fried dishes). I forgot to take pictures of the menu with the prices. Support your local businesses."
