As far as Chinese buffets in this area go, this restaurant was highly recommended by our friends…read more We were pleasantly surprised by how huge the restaurant is. Lots of seating and tables. When you walk in, the host brings you to a table and asks for your drink order. Then, you're free to go to peruse and choose your food. There are three rows of food, plus the raw oysters, hibachi fixings & STEAK!!! On the far wall are more desserts - cake, mousse, cookies & ice cream. My husband loved choosing his own steak and how to cook it on the grill. For me, the food was tasty, but it was the vast variety that won me over. Good experience. $17.99/pax for dinner.

I've gone here several times in the past 6 months and it seems as if their service and food quality…read morehas gone downhill. The waitresses never smile, they'll seat us at tables with other people, and they yell at us from across the room to be seated rather than coming up to greet us. Friendly service really goes a long way, but they're not providing that anymore. Some of my favorite items like the Green Beans and Hot n Sour Soup are not seasoned well anymore, and are significantly better at other buffets, but it's mostly the service that needs a change.

I also love their shrimp egg rolls with the spicy mustard sauce. We still love the stir fry beef and the crab Rangoon as well. They have a drive through which is convenient when picking up dinner after work. I think we've also never waited more than 30 minutes for their food. I'm not sure if they have indoor seating but this is a fantastic option for take out! 10% discount for cash payments!

I ordered Empress Chicken. Chicken was good (all white meat) and a little spicy. Rice was ok. Hot and sour soup easily best in Rockford. Egg rolls good while crab rangoons were just ok. Chicken fried rice was pretty good as well. Overall rating is an 8 out of 10. My highest ranked Chinese food in the area so far.

C'mon folks, it's a chain Chinese place located in a strip mall...it's going to be typical fast Chinese food. That's that Personally, of course I've had better Chinese food, but you know what's awesome about this place? It's super fast, consistent, and pretty decent for the price. I'm always going to get what I'm expecting there and that's what matters to me. Solid three from me. Lower your expectations, folks, for real. This is not a 5 star establishment nor is it meant to be.

Had a hankering for some "Americanized" Chinese food so I stopped in for some chicken and broccoli…read moreand an egg roll. The egg roll did not have a lot of flavor but the chicken and broccoli was just how I like it. Fried rice was bland by itself but was good with some soy sauce added. Lunch took about 4-5 minutes to cook, so fast food was good to get! Beware... They add a lot of sauce and it ended up spilling out of takeout container and into the bag and than my car. Next time I will make sure that I keep the container flat so I don't have that problem. Restaurant looks pretty old but is pretty big. Bathrooms were clean but restaurant was a little grimy. I asked the owner for a menu and she said but we have a hue menu right here. I told her I wanted to bring it home Nd she did give me a huff and puff before handing it over. I do see the attitude others were talking about.

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 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.
