Have been here more times than I can count over the years, and have never been thrilled, but it's the only game in town. Have narrowed the menu down to a few acceptable dishes.\n\nUsed to love their Palace Special Wonton soup until I was eating one time without looking and ingested a complete chicken vertebrae column. Enough of that! Chicken with Broccoli is sometimes decent, often not. Kung Pao Chicken (props for offering white meat only) is often good, but as with many of their dishes, they're not careful with ingredient trimming (e.g. garlic stems, chicken cartilage, bamboo shoot bark, bones, etc.). Young Chow Fried rice was great one time, have not had it that way again. Various lo miens are too often way greasy and have unchewable items. Pan fried wontons are a bit doughy but one of the better app options. Think they may have overextended themselves by offering newer Thai dishes - more miss than hit. Have tried all their \"Chef's Specialties\" at one time or another. Orange Chicken has a decent spicy-sweet sauce, but the batter is too thick and it definitely doesn't travel well (read: soggy). \n\nNoticed a sign on the door a few months ago heralding a new chef specializing in spicy recipes, which got me really excited. Have not noticed any changes in the menu or food makeup.\n\nI will give them credit for a comfy atmosphere and excellent service. Just wish the food lived up to it. C'mon Palace, you may have a decent loyal customer base now, but just think of all the people you could gain that travel outside Sewickley for much better fare that used fresh, authentic ingredients with way more creativity and consistency! Since I'm a huge Asian food fan, I for one would become a frequent diner vs once a month!"^^ . "1"^^ . . .
