Yi Palace is the best Chinese food in the Wilmington area. No comparison.
I've been here half a dozen times and every time was pleased with the food and the service. The food is more authentic than most Chinese restaurants, though Yi Palace also serves the staples of American Chinese restaurants. I have 2 co-workers who are Chinese and have lived much of their lives in China; They eat here. In fact, one of them organized a work lunch here. They both tell me Yi Palace is the best Chinese food in Wilmington; I agree.
The menu is extensive even for a Chinese restaurant. If you chose to stick with the same foods you know and love (Kung Pao whatever, General Tso's Chicken, Sesame Chicken), you'll be impressed. The quality of the ingredients is very good and the food is always cooked perfectly. The portions are what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant, though the prices are a bit higher than normal. With the high quality of the food and service, the extra few dollars are more than worth it for a great dinner.
If you work in the Wilmington area, do yourself a favor and grab a lunch here. The lunch menu is fairly extensive and for less than $7.00 you get a good portioned main dish, your choice of white or brown rice, and your choice of an egg roll or soup. With tip, you just ate a great lunch for 10 dollars.

I have been here several times and I am always impressed. The decor is suitably comfortable and the service is exceptional. I have tried several dishes from Mapo tufu to chicken w/ chili peppers.
I have even taken people to the restaurant who are quite picky and they were pleased. I will be back.
