I enjoy the varied veggie/tofu options and my husband loves the rice noodle dishes. The inside of the restaurant is nothing to brag about and is exactly what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall setting. But, the food is really good compared to other places we've visited in the area. You can also order online, but this option is a little difficult to navigate and is missing a lot of descriptions of dishes. It's much easier to either order in person or via phone and ask questions. The staff is very friendly and helpful!

I ordered roast pork fried rice and boneless spare ribs. Simple and delicious. I also got the edamame which came plain or possibly lightly salted - either way I put my roasted garlic blend on them at home. They seemed fresh and popped at the right time if you know what I mean. The rice wasn't full of the usual stuff you see in a lot of like foods around here. That stuck out to me. The boneless spare ribs weren't dripping in sauce which was nice. They also were also not dried out the next day for leftovers. I'd say this place is def worthy of the high reviews they've received lately! Seems unassuming from the outside- a bit smoky inside but not the burning smoky- a stir fry smoky!

All the food was served quickly and was so delicious. The pineapple fried rice was so flavorful that I could eat just the rice by itself without any of the chicken. The coconut shrimp was crisp and perfectly paired with the thai chili sauce. The drinks were a bit on the sweeter side than I would have liked. The green curry was delicious!

I noticed the people working were not the usual owner and his wife. I don't know if the place is under new ownership or if these are employees but the end result were portion sizes approximately 1/2 of what they had previously been. The large spare ribs are $13.95, used to be served in a square take out box that was FULL with ribs. Tonight the box was 1/2 the previous size and contents comparable in size to what a small order used to be. The "large" house lo mein was served in a tiny little box. The only thing that was not 1/2 the size as it used to be were the egg rolls. I hate to slam a local place and my previous reviews of Imperial Palace have always been positive but tonight I was NOT satisfied. What was served was grossly overpriced compared to the portion size of an order a few months ago. I've been a customer since this place opened and I will give them another shot but if tonight is the indication of a new business model, this business is going to fail.....

This is a 3.5-star review if you want to get specific…read more We ordered: General Tso's tofu with extra broccoli, veggie lo mein, veggie fried rice, and veggie spring rolls. The low point was the tofu. It was mediocre. I prefer my tofu dipped in cornstarch and fried so it has a little coating and gets crispy in spots, this was plain. The sauce was good, though, not sickly-sweet like other places around. And they actually gave us extra broccoli, which we always order but rarely get. The fried rice and the lo mein were both the best I've had in recent memory. Very flavorful and full of veggies. Even the spring rolls, which I swear every place must get from the same supplier because they're always identical, tasted a bit fresher. Ever since China Moon changed I've been on the hunt for a new regular Chinese takeout spot, and I think this is it. If they added scallion pancakes to the menu and fixed the tofu, I'd give them five stars!
