Chen Golden Palace

The service is amazing, they’re always extra nice and kind, the food was great too

The food is great and the lady that runs it is the absolute sweetest!

Old school Chinese..egg drop soup and orange chicken.

Hubby & son went for lunch yesterday, 02.03.2024. They walked in and said a horrible odor hit them full in the face. They went ahead and took a seat in the back, anyway, and the odor seemed to dissipat only to return shortly afterwards when the food was served. They paid and left w/o asking for a box for leftovers. They now suspect this place has backed-up sewer problems. Won’t ever go back. Sorry, we love Chinese food and we were hoping. The Chen’s in Carlsbad is better and Golden Harbor off Avocado in La Mesa is excellent.

The only thing I love and crave here is their Spicy Shrimp Noodles. It's my go-to anytime I make the drive to El Cajon. This really is a hole in the wall place, so make sure you bring cash. To save time, I always call ahead and place my order. The lady is so sweet there too, you will see.

I love love love the salt and pepper chicken wings highly recommended!!!! The size of the wings are perfect!!! Overall great delicious!!! Love their thai and Chinese food delicious!! Excellent customer service!!

I ❤️ Chen’s! The food is so good! I love their Shrimp Spring Rolls so much I keep coming back. Always polite, courtesy, and accommodating! And their Broccoli Beef is so savory!!! Cash only, but that’s OK. Take cash with you! It’s absolutely worth it!

The egg foo young is not to my taste. I don't know what they mix into eggs but it's not the shrimp, chicken and beef that comes in both. I'm used to chicken , shrimp and beef being cooked with the egg! I'm from the East Coast. It tastes like they mix bread Into their eggs. Not my style! I got the house special egg foo young. Not for me.

Best Chinese food in the western hemisphere
