    Sesame chicken with white rice and Singapore noodles
    Taylor M.

    I come here almost every week and used to go when I was in school at Meredith all the time! So this place is on of the highest recommended places I tell people about! You definitely have to try the Singapore noodles and the sesame chicken combination with white rice! It's absolutely amazing! The owners are so nice which makes the service great and the ambiance is great as well but their food is spectacular

    Steamed dumplings were really good! I also ordered the fried chicken it was really good I enjoyed the experience. It's a cute little place as well

    Sesame Chicken and Crab rangoon a
    Emily O.

    I ordered take out and the service was pretty fast, took only about 10 minutes. I got the sesame chicken and crab rangoons and both were very good! Very classic and just what i was looking for. It was a little pricey but one dish can be split between 2.

    This is what you expect when you come to a fast food Chinese restaurant. Simple food, reasonable price, and decent taste. The restaurant itself is really rundown with very minimal seating. Services decent, and you can get your food pretty quick. Taste wise, it's really average. I've had much better, fast food, Chinese food, but also much worse. My one complaint is that their fried rice and their noodles mostly just salty rather than having other nice flavors in it. I will give them credit because I asked for it to be spicy, and they gave a delicious chili oil on the side.

    General Tso's Chicken with hot and sour soup

    This place is the best! I've been coming here for years and it always hits the spot. Everything is great but my number one rec is the general tso's chicken and I love their hot and sour soup as well. The staff is super nice and accommodating. It's a nice chill spot to dine in as well while you do work or read a book etc. great portions as well. Definitely what I needed on a rainy day.

    Consistently tasty Chinese restaurant near Meredith. I always pass this joint driving along Hillsborough. It's an unassuming stand alone building along the road with a slim parking lot. When I saw the reviews, I decided on a whim to stop by and haven't been disappointed since. It's mostly a take out place, although they do have tables inside of you want eat fresh. Since the pandemic they have placed some protection in front of the cashier stand. The owners have a thick accent and can be curt, but they're nice people and busy since it's popular with the students. This recent order was for the Hunan chicken dinner combo. Egg roll not pictured. Standard veggies with chicken in a brown sauce. A "healthier" option for American Chinese food since there's some vitamins instead of just fried chicken ;) The sauce has a nice kick with the pepper flakes and it's not overly greasy like some other places I've visited. I ordered the fried rice with egg: classic taste. The egg roll has a hint of mustard.

    The number of positive Yelp reviews brought me to this restaurant on a Saturday evening. This is a takeout restaurant that has a few tables that you can eat at, but there is no waitress or waiter service. We were excited to see that they had moo shu chicken on the menu, so two of us ordered the combination dinner that included an egg roll fried rice and two pancakes. It was less than one minute from having our name called to eating. The egg rolls were already lukewarm and soggy. The main meal was hot, but the dish was skimpy on the chicken. Overall, I rate this as a good place but would not go out of my way to return.

    Unfortunately I devoured all of my food before remembering to take a picture. I guess that's a sign it was good? Their website is a little vague on lunch combos so I called my order in for a sesame chicken combo (rice and egg roll) which was ready in 10 minutes. The parking lot is a bit small, but you can always park along the road right beside it. The employee greets me upon walking in and had everything ready. I was in and out in probably two minutes. My dinner was good except there was one funky piece of chicken that was cooked too much and tasted like shrimp (before I realized it and spit it out). Overall, it's one of the good Chinese places in the area (yet still not as good as Red Pepper Asian).

    Sesame chicken Fried rice
    Emily G.

    If you're looking for simple cheap Chinese food...this is the place. It's right near NC state and Meredith so it's pretty popular for college kids. They have great lunch deals and good dinner combinations. You can get an entree, rice, and an egg roll for right around $8. I also judge a place by their crab Rangoons and these ones are great! I have had their sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, broccoli with beef, general Tsos chicken, all good options. Do not be discouraged by the looks of this place, good quality cheap Chinese food.

Unfortunately, the lo mein was extremely greasy, the fried rice was overly salty, and the shrimp was hard, overcooked and not fresh.

Imperial Garden has long been my go-to place for Chinese food, but over my last few visits, I have noticed that the quality of the meat has gone down The restaurant layout is split into two rooms. The first room features booths and an elevated seating section, while the second room has tables for larger groups. The decor is simple and traditional. The service here is still very good. Although I haven't gotten my favorite waitress during my last few visits, she made a point to come over and talk to me this last time. She even remembered my exact order and that I like it prepared without onions, which I truly appreciated! Unfortunately, the beef itself seemed a little rubbery. A few of the pieces were completely fine, so I am not sure whether the meat was just overcooked or had sat under a heat lamp too long before being served. The fried rice seemed better than ever, though, as was the eggroll. I think I will need to start trying some new vegetarian or alternative dishes here on my next visits to avoid the meat, as I still really enjoy the local atmosphere and excellent service.

Portions are very generous, and we usually have enough leftovers for a complete meal the next day. It can get crowded during peak times, so I highly recommend a reservation. Two stand-by Chinese starters, Egg Rolls and Crab Rangoon, are a great way to begin any meal. The Egg Rolls are big, crispy and full of flavor. The Crab Rangoon are the best I have had anywhere. These won-won wonders are tender with a silky-smooth Cream Cheese and Crab filing. Imperial Garden does all the basic Chinese Chicken dishes to perfection. The Hunan Chicken, is slightly spicy and stir-fried with a few vegetables in a savory sauce. My grandkids love the Sesame Chicken). These bite-size chunks of Chicken are coated with a thick, sticky, slightly sweet sauce and liberally coated with Sesame Seeds. Two other favorites are General Tso's Chicken - double fried and sautéed with fresh green peppers in spicy sauce and Empress Chicken - marinated chicken, lightly fried and sautéed with broccoli, baby corn, straw mushroom & water chestnuts. Peking Style dishes are another winner. Whether it's Shrimp. Pork, Beef or Chicken; these tender morsels are coated in a tempura-like slurry, stir-fried to perfection and smothered in your favorite sauce. I like the Sweet & Sour Pork version. It comes with a bit of Carrot, Water Chestnut, Bell Pepper and Onion; and is served with either White Rice or Fried rice. Throw in a lightly-hopped ice-cold Tsingtau, sit back, and savor the moment.

LoveFood named Ni Asian the best Chinese restaurant in North Carolina, Midtown Magazine gave it the Gold Diamond Award, and it's been a favorite on Nextdoor Neighborhood Faves. So I had to check out the hype, and it didn't disappoint. I enjoyed the positive messages all over the restaurant. It isn't fancy and has the hole-in-the-wall charm, which generally means amazing food. The restaurant has outdoor seating, booths in the front and another small dining area further back that you can't see from the front. They also seemed to have a pretty active takeout business. The menu is a mixture of Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese. The menu was larger than I expected, and they have $9.99 lunch options and $11.99 dinner options. I arrived before they opened and looked at the menu on the door. I decided on the Triple Delight, but it wasn't on the inside menu; they made it for me anyway. It was shrimp, chicken and beef with a mixture of veggies, and I got fried rice for an extra charge. It was delicious, and the flavors were great. The portion was large enough that I got three meals from it. They offer plenty of teas, but others in the group wanted coffee, which they do not offer. They do offer Coke products. Service was friendly and attentive. I look forward to my next meal here.

Disappointed they don't offer bean sprouts, but I'm also tempted to add veggies upon next visit. Overall, rice was delicious. My biggest letdown was garlic shrimp and veggies. Shrimp were large - but slightly overcooked. Veggies also overcooked. Flavor fell a tad bit flat. I'm guessing it was me, and perhaps I had a bad day (which, IMO, affects flavor).
