This place has just reopened after being closed for many months for a major refurb. The decor is…read morenow fresh and clean with wooden floors throughout - the tatty old upstairs room has been transformed into a very pleasant dining room, and the toilets are to die for! The food menu is considerably smaller than it used to be but there is a note saying that if you can't see what you want, just ask and they will cook it for you. The wine list is as good as it ever was. There is still a good choice for those of us who are veggie - several beancurd dishes to choose from. Portions were generous and flavours were good. On the downside we felt there was a bit too much cornflour in the sauces, making them a bit too claggy and sticky. And the bits of wild rice in with the regular rice was most odd - it looked like mouse droppings! It is great to see Yvonne back running the place - we missed her when she was running the Barrow branch! We will definately be back and are delighted that this restaurant is back again!

There are only two choices for a sit down Chinese meal in Burnley and the Regent Cantonese beats…read moreits competition hands down! It's not the easiest of places to find, being tucked away on a quiet street in a downstairs location but it's worth persevering as the excellent food makes a trip to the Regent well worth it. The menu is extensive and the service is excellent. I've eaten there on numerous occasions and can't fault the food. I also love the fact that you never feel rushed and you can happily spend a whole evening there without feeling pressurized to clear your table for other customers. Perhaps the only downside is the price with meals being a little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for and the delicious selection of Cantonese dishes mean the Regent is well worth the expense.

This restaurant has been around for ages, even earning accolades such as Gordon Ramsey's Best Chinese Eatery. However, management has apparently changed and the owners fell on hard times recently. You can't really tell the restaurant has had problems, however. The food was excellent when we went and the service was outstanding. We ordered the tasting menu, as we'd never been to Yu & You before and wanted to try a bit of everything. Prices are a bit high for the area, so maybe save this place for a date night. There is a full bar and plenty of dishes to choose from. I think our favorite dish was the lobster, but honestly everything was lovely. We had a lot of extra food as well, so it was nice to take our leftovers to-go for a cold Chinese food breakfast in the morning ;) Definitely recommend this location for those in the area. The food is high-quality and it's a fun place to celebrate or spend time with friends and loved ones!

We came along to try the place as it had won Gordon Ramsay's Chinese Restaurant of the year 2010…read more The restaurant was quite busy, mainly because of a large party group. The overall impression is that it is over-staffed by young inexperienced staff. As a consequence basic service is very good, but if you ask a question, they have to go and get an elder to sort it out. The menu was rather uninformative: there are only three pork main dishes for example but only one gets a description Honey Roasted Char Sui Pork served with fresh greens. We ordered Thai Style Crispy Pork (no further description). What we got was something that looked remarkably like sweet and sour pork with extra chilli. Four of us had a selection of appetisers (Crispy Wan Ton, Seaweed, Sesame Prawn Toast, Salt & Pepper Ribs); Crispy Duck with 11 pancakes (doesn't divide by 4); Thai Style Crispy Pork, Fillet Steak Cantonese Style, Stir Fried Chicken with Black Bean sauce, Egg Fried Rice and Soft Noodles. The dishes were all tasty, but some of the vegetables were perhaps a little under-cooked: almost raw. Again the service was good: they allowed us to change Steamed Sea Bass for Thai Style Crispy Pork, and allowed us to change the Egg Fried Rice to a mixture of rice and Soft Noodles. The food was good, not the best Chinese I've ever had, but definitely amongst the best: my problem is the cost. I don't know if it has gone up since winning the Restaurant of the Year accolade, but it is certainly very dear now. The winning menu is available which includes a Wagyu (a.k.a. Kobe) beef dish and costs £80 per head. We chose something more modest: the above banquet for four people, a bottle of water and a relatively modest bottle of wine came to a substantial £170+ bill. Individual dishes don't seem too dear, but it all seems to add up rather alarmingly. The restaurant has a slight night-club feel with a large bar area and strange choice of background music and a good sized car park. Overall: a good meal, copious inexperienced staff, expensive bill. If it was better value it would be 4*, as it is three will have to do.

We had a mixed starter to begin with so we got a little bit of everything, but i would seriously recommend the salt, pepper and chili mushrooms. I don't like spicy food that much but these had just the right amount of kick to them to be tolerable yet incredibly tasty! Safe to say, i scoffed them all!! For main course I had sweet and sour chicken. It was DELICIOUS. At imperial you get just the right amount of food, so its not like your eating what seems to be a never ending plate of food which happens in a lot of places!! That being said, I could have eaten that meal til i was sick, it was just beautiful! Beautifully seasoned with just the right amount of sweet and sour. And who could really argue with the fact you get free prawn crackers and a fortune cookie and mints at the end?! Not me!! The staff are also really friendly and really helpful. They provide a great customer service and all add to the great vibe this place gives. If you ever get chance to eat here, I would reccomend that you do. Its superb!

Between the 6 of us we had a variation of 7 starters (e.g. Spareribs in OK sauce, Chicken wings with salt and chili, Seaweed, Chicken Saté, Prawn toast etc.) After this we shared a half aromatic crispy duck between us and to finish it off, we all had a different main course. Every single thing was absolutely delicious, well cooked, well seasoned, well presented we could not have wished for more and nobody had room left for a dessert! The service was speedy, attentive and everybody had always time for a joke and a good laugh. We felt as welcome as if we were part of the family. And when the bill was presented... well, another nice surprise. Fantastic food, great hospitality, great value for money - you will have to search around for qutie a while to find a place that matches The Imperial in Shipley

I've converted quite a few people into fans. I tend to use this place as a takeaway more than an eat in place as its not too far to go and it's cheaper to take it home and eat it. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the food is a very good standard, far better than most chinese takeaways I've been to but I think that's due to it being a restaurant too which pushes the standard higher. This is a popular place on a weekend so if you're eating in it's probably a good idea to book a table, if you can't get booked in then just order a takeaway. The only downside is they don't do delivery as they are very busy so you have to get it yourself.
