"A (pink) little gem!\n\nWe found this place on Yelp and decided to try it out based on the reviews. We have been back 4 times since! When we are in the mood to go and sit and relax and enjoy a nice Chinese meal - this is where we go. \n\nThe place is definitely dated, but it has it's charm. Its \"Flamingo Palace\", so of course it has to be pink. And it definitely is. It takes me back to various Chinese Restaurants we frequented as a kid in the 80's, so there's some comfy nostalgia to go with your Chinese comfort food. \n\nEvery time we go, we are greeted and seated promptly and by the same two people, a young hostess/busser and then a woman whom we believe to be the owner. Overhearing some other restaurant patrons, \"she is always here\". \n\nThough the place does seem a bit dated and not much effort has been put into updates, you can tell everyone takes pride in their service and the food. We always order the potstickers, and she always politely reminds us that they are cooked to order and will take 15 minutes. We don't care, they are delicious and Zach will often keep the dipping sauce to use on the rest of his meal - it's that good. \n\nWe also always order the Flamingo Palace Special Chicken - it's also just that good. Then we get a variety of other things based on mood. We have really never been disappointed with what we have ordered, but we don't branch out that much here either. I wouldn't say this place is all that different in preparation of the common dishes, not to call it 'basic', but it definitely ranks higher in the quality and freshness category in comparison to many of their competitors here in the Valley that serve stale, old, soggy food. \n\n(One tid-bit of constructive crticism - the dining room could use a regualr dusting and maybe even a spot-painting of the walls. It's not nasty, but I could see how many could be really put off on returning.)\n\nWe appreciate you Flamingo Palace!"^^ . . . "0"^^ . "2014-09-05T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . "4"^^ . "2"^^ .
