    Garlic Chicken Lunch Special
    Brian M.

    This is a great place for chinese food takeout. Prices are very reasonable (about $7-8 for a lunch special). I've been here a few times already and the menu is healthy and tastes great. On top of that don't use MSG!

    Checkin Counter obviously with no one there.

    My step brother got "General Tso's Chicken" and got violent food poisoning as a result. I would not recommend it.

    Fried rice and crab Rangoon had a very odd smell. Food was tasteless. Very disappointed, won't go back.

    We have been getting food here since 2008, when you could eat inside. Service was average and food…read morewas very good. The place hasn't changed in all the years we have been eating at Imperial palace. So it has a dated interior but food consistently has been about the same. Our favorites are sweet and sour chicken or sesame chicken. Crab Rangoon's with sweet and sour sauce are the best. Egg rolls are delicious, too. Yes the owner is direct but that is a cultural trait. We have known him many years and appreciate his food. If you know what you are walking into then it is not an issue. Overall, I rate this place as average. I recommend some updates to building an open restaurant portion again with good service then my rating will go up.

    We ordered food here for the first time tonight. Our usual places were closed. Apparently Tuesday…read moreis a bad night to order Chinese. We ordered Sesame Chicken, Orange Chicken, Fried Rice, Steamed Rice, Crab Rangoon and an Egg Roll. The prices we found online definitely didn't match what we paid. Our order was double the cost ($48!!) as the other places we order from. Very disappointing because the food was just mediocre at best. The Egg Roll was tossed after two bites, worst I've ever had. Don't bother with the Crab Rangoon either. I absolutely love Crab Rangoon. Sadly, their Crab Rangoon had a funny taste to it, so we ended up tossing most of the order. Honestly, my stomach is already upset after eating their food. My husband and I both agreed, this place is off our list to order from for good! You want good Chinese and at very good price, order from Chef Chen or China Express.
