    Triple garlic sauce,  chicken lo main, egg drop soup
    Les B.

    Went to get take out a couple of times, so far each time had been great and what was expected. There's a few different entrances and although it's not appealing to look out from the outside or while you're inside, the food is great! With both orders that we got each time it only took about 15 minutes to prepare. The first time we got Triple delight with a small side of beef lo mein, both were excellent! The next time we got triple in garlic sauce, chicken lo mein, egg drop soup, and shrimp fried rice. The shrimp fried rice was a little dry but everything else was again good. The portion sizes are good and adequate. The vegetables are the perfect crisp and the steamed rice is cooked just right. Busy place, good service, good food!

    Vegetable lo mein

    Great food and lots of options. Food was made fast and friendly service. Getting food here will be our new Christmas tradition every year

    Fried Pork Dumplings

    One of the best chinese take out I have ever had, my Boyfriend and I order lo mein and general so's from here practically every week. Service is amazing! Very minimal mistakes and they pack those containers for all their worth! If you want good chinese go here.

    Decent Chinese food but my chicken was pretty dry and didn't taste very fresh... tofu was better but not super flavorful. Overall okay local Chinese food but if you are willing to drive 20 mins away to Fu Kee for GREAT Chinese it's worth it.

    We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine: Parking: 4 Location: 4 Decor/ambiance: 1 Customer Service: 3 Dude... Lets start with the decor and ambiance... The moment you walk in the door the first thing you will notice is the menu pictures. They are all faded and you can't even see the images of the dishes. Those images are so faded you can't read anything on them. The front counter was cludered with all sorts of papers and 'things' on the night I visited. The staff member who took my order was friendly and helpful. They have great pricing. I asked for the veggie fried rice and it was good. It took the cooks about 10 minutes to prepare my meal. The menu had a title on it that said its from 2008 -- its now 2019. Other than that the food was ok, service was decent, just clean and update the place.

    Cockroach in Kung Pao

    Dead cockroach in the kung pao chicken take-out.... We ordered takeout that included Kung Pao chicken and a few other entrees and sides. Before finishing a portion of the kung pao, I saw a weird object lying in the slurry of chicken, veggies, and sauce. When moving everything away, a dead cockroach appeared. Of course, this resulted in a loss of appetite and disgust for everyone eating the meal. We called the restaurant to inform them and to ask for a refund. Their immediate response was to only refund the kung pao chicken entree. After we said that was unacceptable because who know what could be in the other food or the cleanliness of their kitchen, they told us to bring back all of the food in order to receive a full refund, which we did. When arriving and seeing the bug, they were nice and apologized. Hopefully we don't get sick from what we ate and there weren't more bugs were in the food. We did not look into the food further for more bugs.

    Food was fresh seasoned and hot. Been a long time since I actually had good food from a Chinese restaurant.

    The service here is not great... not even good, I've definitely had better but it's tolerable for the quick and easy Chinese take out food you want. On my most recent visit this past Sunday, I was actually surprised to be met with a "hi, can I help you?" from the woman behind the counter. Usually she's much more rude and to the point (by saying "what do you want?") but again customer service is not the reason you come... its the overly fried but cheap chinese food, which they deliver on. I would give them an extra star IF they stepped up their fried rice game. I'm always so disappointed with their fried rice being so bland and dry. Of course you can always mask that flavor with sauces, but that's not the point. Their General Tso's chicken is always consistent and good which keeps me coming back. I've also enjoyed their sesame chicken. Egg rolls are really crispy on the outside but bland on the inside, meh. To give an idea on their prices, the combination plates are usually around $7-$8; that's a meat, pork fried rice and pork egg roll. I'd say their prices are cheap in comparison to what's nearby but pretty average for Chinese take out. I've never ordered a drink but they have bottled drinks (no fountain drinks). Also, I would not recommend dining in... I noticed on this past visit, a bunch of raw garlic piled up on one table in the dining area with a bag and knife... Just laying there unattended. Pretty sure whoever was handling the garlic got busy and forgot about the garlic. But I'm left wondering if the garlic should even be prepped in the dining area?? Not sure about the story on that... But if you live in the brier creek area and desire the cheap and easy take-out Chinese food, this is your place--but don't expect more than your average experience or else you'll be disappointed.

    I ordered the pepper chicken lunch special and received something more... yes that's right. It was a nice chunk of plastic my kid choked on.

    When I went to Great China the other day, I ordered the pepper chicken lunch special. After driving 40 minutes back home, I sat down to eat my meal with my child. Next thing you know my kid starts choking on a chunk of plastic. Obviously we were upset and we wanted a refund. I called the place back and the woman starts stating that they go by Walmart's standards when it comes to refunds... so basically she wanted me to drive 40 minutes back for a takeout order when I had already thrown away the food. Like come on seriously... we were absolutely outraged. She never once apologized about there being a random piece of plastic in the meal. Never once did I receive good service even in the restaurant after I had already paid for my food the server asked if I wanted any sauces. I said I wanted white sauce and he told me it was 50 cents. Then told me I couldn't buy one or two because their card reader has a minimum. Like come on bro. Once again I was outraged. The meal sucked from the start to finish. Never eat at great China. By the way... I literally made a yelp account because I am so annoyed about this. Trust me.

I ordered the lo mein, bamboo flounder fish, and a side of fried rice. Unfortunately, the lo mein was extremely greasy, the fried rice was overly salty, and the shrimp was hard, overcooked and not fresh. When I informed the waiter that I would not be eating the lo mein due to its condition, I was told that I would still have to pay for it and that it did not matter whether I liked it or not. He initially refused to remove the dish from my bill. After eventually taking it off, he told me that he never wanted to see my face again as I was leaving. What disappoints me most is that I genuinely enjoyed this restaurant and had been a repeat customer.

I came right before a show at the Alamo Drafthouse around the corner, which makes it the perfect night out for dinner and show. It looks like a lot of people order takeout here, but they have ample tables and do offer an excellent dine in service. I loved their green beans and eggplant. All their food felt more authentic and homestyle than your typical run of the mill Chinese place. The food had flavor, and it wasn't overly greasy either! I'll definitely come back next time in near north Raleigh.

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.
