Palace Cantonese Restaurant

Reviewed By Allen21096

The Palace Chinese Restaurant is located at 9236 Waukegan Rd. in Morton Grove and it is part of a small strip mall. There is more than adequate parking and there is easy access, both, in to and out of the parking lot. We ate there, so we were seated immediately. The restaurant is a typical family-owned restaurant and about the only issue that I observed was that the decor might be a bit tired. The restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine, which is what we usually like. The crab Rangoon were really good and well-filled. The egg rolls were very good, as well. We ordered a Mongolian beef and a combination fried rice. Everything really tasted really good. The prices were more than reasonable.

China Chef

Reviewed By Allen21096

We were in Morton Grove and decided to have dinner at China Chef. We were seated immediately and were brought tea and menus. We decided to go with something different, rather than two big entrees. We asked for the China Chef appetizer with four tasty ribs, 4 skewers of satay beef, two very large eggrolls and four pieces of crab Rangoon. Though the menu actually listed chicken fingers, we were brought the crab Rangoon because they were out of chicken fingers. It did seem like a lot of food, but being just a big hungry, we decided on a single regular entree with no extras. We chose the shrimp and walnuts. There were enough large shrimp on a bed of lettuce, along with a large cup of white rice. The shrimp were hot and tasty, and the walnuts added a nice taste and crunch. The total price was reasonable. The service was efficient. While there, we noticed a good deal of take-out traffic.

Ginza Buffet

Reviewed By FoodFight101

This Asian buffet is great in concept. What makes it stand out is the sheer variety of foods. The dishes are, for the most part, authentic and encompass a wide range of familiar and exotic flavors. The buffet spans nearly the entire length of the dining room and is well laid out. Unlike plain storefront neighborhood eateries, Ginza’s décor (much of it repurposed from a previous tenant) is especially attractive and comfortable.I came here with a group for lunch. Although nearly everything we tasted was quite good, there were two issues. First, a lack of food labeling. There was nothing to identify any of the sushi items or the tiny cups of condiments, roe, etc. The labeling for many of the hot foods was erroneous or absent. “Walnut Shrimp” contained zero walnuts. What was labeled “Grilled Calamari” was not grilled at all and appeared to be octopus. Vegetable tempura was labeled peach something-or-other. I’m still LOL from a sign which read, “Muscles with Vegetables.” The second issue concerns food temperature. Nearly every “hot” dish we sampled had already cooled down to room temperature and it was only 11:30 AM. The one dish that came out piping hot was chunks of shell-on lobster in a sauce. Yummy, yes, but it was so difficult and messy to extricate the meat from the shell that I quickly gave up.Due to the labeling issue, I would not recommend Ginza to someone with food allergies or aversions. But during lunchtime, if you focus on the many items that should be served at room temperature or colder, you can have a great meal at a great price. Don’t miss the fried dough and the sesame balls filled with sweet bean paste.
