We have been dining here a few times a month but this is my first review. The food is incredible, the service is always amazing and Michelle makes the BEST old fashioned on the planet! We are working our way through the menu and haven't had anything that wasn't absolutely delicious!

Amazing!! Joseph was phenomenal!! Food was so hot we couldn’t eat right away. Pricing isn’t bad at all and must try the Ragoons!! So nice to have such a great place in a small town. Thank you Joseph look forward to seeing you again soon. Will be back for sure!!

Was looking for a noodle place that was closer to home. Called in an order for take away. Food was made fresh. The gentleman making our food was a sweet old man. Got home and had the most delightful meal. The Pad Thai was so flavorful and delicious. Definitely want to go back.

My son and I ate here last week. A friend had recommended it to me before COVID, and I always wanted to stop in. Anyway, the food and service were terrific! Our host was kind and pleasant. The food! Oh my gosh, the food was outstanding, out of this world! I’ve never had anything so good. We ate family-style: 1) the House Chicken and 2) the House Chicken, Beef, and Veggies. When we tasted the first dish, I ordered a second one to take home; it was that good! If you haven’t had a chance to try it here, give it a shot. While we waited for the takeout order, another person picked up a carryout order. I think this has become a hidden gem because we were the only other customers. I gave it a 3 for atmosphere because maybe they are doing some reorganizing, but there was an unusual amount of clutter for an open restaurant.

The staff is really nice and always remember me, they waste no time to start making the food after taking your order, and it's always really delicious. 10/10 would highly recommend

Golden Star is an awesome classic Chinese restaurant. We ordered family dinner #7 and it did not disappoint. Golden Star has the best BBQ pork i have ever had. I'm excited to try the pot stickers next time, they looked amazing. The service was great. We are new to Boise and we have found our spot for Chinese food.

Last night we first time dined in here with two-people combo hot pot , and two other dishes ( Second Cooked Pork belly and fish-flavored pork slices) and it was an amazing experience. Lots of options for dipping sauces. Way plenty amount of excellent food for 3 adults and one toddler (ending up with take home boxes). The beef and lamb slices for the hot pot are quite fresh. All food items are delicately presented and you can enjoy it with your own pace. Enough kid-friendly options for food or drinks or ice creams. Additionally, the service is fast and all staffs are very friendly and patient. The atmosphere is full of great vibes, aroma and laughter. Before the opening for dine in, we tried the Mala Flavored Grilled fish 3 or 4 times, also the Mala Jumbo Shrimp dry pot. Both were delicious and tons of food. For sides dishes, pork nuggets and boiled 5 species peanuts ( if you are not allergic to it) are must-try. As a food lover and Chinese. so happy that Boise has an authentic Chinese Food to offer now, can't wait to take friends and family here more.

MUST TRY - Amazing addition to Boise food. After living in China for 2 years I have missed authentic mainland Chinese food (especially Sichuan). I have tried a handful of restaurants across the Western states. This restaurant is the most authentic and I am so glad to have this open in Boise! We got the frog legs dry pot - tender, juicy, tasty! I can't wait to go back soon and try their twice cooked pork belly -- one of my favorite Chinese dishes

Well, we looked on the menu on their web site, we ordered the No. 1, $14.55 Per Person. I was disappointed that we could t order this for one person only even though they say $14.55 per person. Egg Roll Fried Wonton Pork Fried Rice Chicken Chow Mein Sweet & Sour. So we picked it up and I opened the bbq pork. 6 small slices , that’s it for two people. Same with the crab ragoon, 4 pieces, the fried rice had no flavor. The mixed veggies as good. For the sweet and sour chickens we received tiny little nuggets. The ragoon was cold like it was sitting in a fridge.

We ordered a vegan fried rice and a golden wok special chop suey. It was okay but not the most delicious.

I found an excellent combination of comfortable and interesting atmospheres, with enticing aromas and a good variety of choices. There was plenty of new things to try as well as the favorites. Our server was very prompt pleasant and sincere. The food was piping hot and so savory! Thank you Panda Gardens!

Amazing service! So excited to find this gem in the Boise Bench area. All of the staff was so sweet and the food was amazing. We got the Mongolian Beef, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Mandarin Chicken entrees along with the crab rangoons, pan fried dumplings, and a tempura roll.

Curtis was our waiter and he was absolutely amazing! Very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped me navigate my gluten allergy. The atmosphere was calming and the food was delicious.

Such an amazing experience at this location! It was very quiet, homey, and welcoming. The food is incredible as always. I personally had Tiffany as a waitress and I could not recommend her enough. If you get her you’re truly lucky. She was very sweet, always on top of everything, great charisma, just overall an amazing waitress. Definitely should visit this location if you get the chance to!

So far this is the best Asian food i have found here in the Boise area with fas friendly service.....The food it self was better than most I have had here in Eagle, Boise, Meridian area the service was excellent 👌 cold beers & hot saki . The place is clean and inviting. We will return and try some of our other favorite dishes but for now I would rate the food as a four because it was the best I have found yet .........I am still searching.........if this helps please give a 👍 like..............

We went for dinner at China Palace Fine Dining. The service was good. Our waitress was really sweet and kind. The food was good but so greasy. If the food wasn't so greasy, I'd give them a higher rating. The building is okay, and the decor is basic, nothing special. The bench I sat in was broken down, and I felt like I was sitting in a hole. They serve beer and wine. I got some Saki, it wasn't hot, barley warm. My hubby had a Chinese beer. He said it was better good. We will come back and try other dishes, hoping not so much grease. Again, the staff is really good and helpful.

We just went through the drive through for two bowls. A bowl is one entree item and one side. I ordered steamed rice and broccoli beef, and my wife got sesame chicken and chow mein. We just got home and I see that I got five pieces of broccoli and about eight small pieces of beef with lots of steamed rice. My wife’s was a little better when it came to her sesame chicken but it was still a small serving. Twenty dollars for super skimpy servings. A COMPLETE RIP OFF! People think that they’re making more money by taking advantage of customers but since we will never go back, it will cost them our business over the long-term, which would have made them much more money than what they stole from us tonight. Further, the food wasn’t very good. The picture shows what I got in my bowl.

Best service I've had in a very long time. It was an hour before close and this crew was incredibly accommodating and happily made fresh batches for our order. Everyone was so friendly. My one complaint is that Panda express won't allow their employees to take tips. I understand not actively asking for tips on your credit card machine, but if your crew does a good job, they should be allowed to be rewarded. As someone who works in the service industry, I was a little upset that I wasn't allowed to tip the crew, they deserved it. Nonetheless, this was the first positive experience I've had at a fast food place in years. So thank you.

I have come to this place for years and the owner is amazing at making drinks and serving great food i highly recommend. It is slightly slow service but worth the wait. Drinks are strong. Food once you finally order sometimes takes a while. But iv e only had one time where one person's food came out slightly cold when in group setting but it wasn't that cold my friend/coworker at a luncheon was just picky and from vallejo california. So makes sense he would complain most reviews complaining are from Cali so go back where you came from I'm born and raised and this is best generals chicken. You'll ever have eat on boise !!!!

The food here was good - I got the sweet and sour and was not disappointed. Same as the crab rangoons… they were so good. Potstickers were just as good! The service was good, but they did appear to be understaffed which is unfortunate for them. Portions are huge! Overall, good place, but there is another place i’d say is better

Great food and even better service. Also really good price for big portions. Had the dinner combo Kung Pao Beef

Amazing and clearly home made food! We ordered the hot and sour soup and there is a slight kick but perfectly balanced (this is a 1000%the soup you want to order if your ever sick), the crab Rangoons which were so fresh and unique, the garlic shrimp stir fry which had a slightly sweet taste but amazing and large shrimp, the curry chicken stir fry which tastes just as it sounds and was amazing, and the lemon chicken that came with sauce on the side which was a welcome surprise so my kids could choose the right sauce amount for them. All of this with side containers of white rice. Food came hot and fresh and delivered to wilder for 6$ (but they base it off address so call first in case you want to have it delivered here). 10/10 would recommend!

I've been for lunch several times and I've always enjoyed it. The amount of food has always left me, my Queen, and my uncle satisfied. I recommend the lunch deals; as good as it is, I don't think I'd pay more than those deals. I have to say, I have incredible respect for our waitress and cook. From my dining perspective, it looks like the whole place is a three-man-show. One waitress acting as table busser and host, one chef, and one manager usually helping with the food. Each time I've been there, our waitress professionally and positively handled the entire room of customers alone with no mistakes.

Stopped by the mandarin to celebrate the end of semester and was disappointed. Don’t let the wait staff or other comments gaslight you into thinking that this is actually chow mein and we are used to lo mein a simple google search will tell you that’s simply not true. Chow mein is supposed to be crispier but I’m pretty sure someone got confused when they were making kapusta Zasmaźana (polish stewed cabbage) and added the crispy chow mein noodles to it. Chow mein is made very similar to lo mein except the noodles are stir fried creating a crispier saucy coating where lo mein has more of a saucy texture like pasta. Just in case you are confused. Anyways service was fine a little slow but they seemed a little understaffed for the rush so we weren’t too bothered. The lighting was a little bright for our taste and some ambiance music would have been nice. If you like somewhat toned down Chinese flavors this is the place for you. The fried rice was a little old and wasn’t really fried. And the sauce was lacking on your chicken but otherwise it was fine? Probably won’t be back for the amount of food you get the cost isn’t horrible but we spend less at different restaurants in the area and feel more satisfied. Anyways I’m sure a specific demographic loves this place but not us.
