" I really loved the atmosphere at Chen Ling Palace. It has that nostalgic charm reminding me of what Chinese restaurants felt like in my childhood. The food was authentic, especially the sweet and sour pork, which had a great balance of flavors. I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and responsive the staff were. We felt taken care of the entire time. I'll be recommending this place to my friends for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chen Ling Palace is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for me. I grew up eating here and they've maintained their quality. The garlic chicken is a must-try; it has the right amount of seasoning, and the chicken is always tender. I do wish they'd update the interior, as it feels a bit like stepping back in time, but the comfort food they serve keeps me coming back. Besides, I love supporting family-owned places that value tenured cuisine over trendy fads. You can't go wrong with the family dinners! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Chen Ling Palace based on its reputation, but my experience was a mix of good and not-so-good. The portions were generous, and the meat was well cooked in the dishes. However, the vegetable lo mein was bland and needed seasoning. The service staff could have been more attentive, as we had to wait too long to get our check. I don't think I would recommend it for a special outing, but it's good for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed during my recent visit to Chen Ling Palace. While the service was cordial, the food lacked the authenticity I expected. The orange chicken was overly sweet and the fried rice didn't taste like traditional fried rice. It seemed more like a generic takeout place rather than a family-owned restaurant. However, my friends enjoyed their dishes, so perhaps it depends on what you order. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our visit to Chen Ling Palace, my partner and I were quite impressed with the food quality. The sweet and sour pork was one of the best I've had! It wasn't overly sweet, and the meat was juicy. The quantity we received was pretty good too. The only drawback was the time taken to get our food—definitely not a quick lunch spot. If you enjoy authentic Chinese flavors, push through the wait because it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went into Chen Ling Palace for a takeout order, and I was quite impressed! The egg rolls were crispy and packed with flavor, and the curry shrimp was cooked perfectly. I had to wait a bit, but it was worth it for the taste! I will definitely return for more takeout since it’s hard to find places like this that serve authentic dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chen Ling Palace is a staple in my family! They've been serving good Chinese food for as long as I can remember. The authenticity shines through in every dish. I highly recommend their underappreciated flounder dish—it's fantastic! The only drawback is that it's a bit dark and could use a lighter atmosphere. Don't let that deter you from the incredible food! " (*Curated Review*)
