My family and I (5 people) came in to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday dinner and there was nobody but us in the restaurant. The first thing I noticed was the server. He was dressed in jeans, hooded sweatshirt, a beanie and had a toothpick in his mouth. A bit out of the ordinary but to each their own for proper attire in what I would deem a upscale-ish restaurant. The real issue was him taking our order, seemed rushed. As we were deliberating and figuring out what we wanted. My girlfriend was talking about the scallion bubble pancakes. He came over and said, "I overheard you said the scallion pancakes, did you want to put in that order?" My girlfriend said no, she wanted everything to come out all at once. He said ok and then we walked off. Next thing we know, the pancakes came out WAY ahead of everything else we ordered. By like 15 minutes at least. When my girlfriend said something about it, the waiter said, he said outright " I never heard her say not to order them, she never said anything, and they are out right now". No apology, no I'll go ahead and fix that...nothing. When we we on the way out, we talked to the owner about the experience and the only thing he mentioned was that, the server was new and it's hard to find good employees because they revolve so quickly. Which wasn't really an answer at all. It was definitely a 180 degree turn from the first experience we had here which was 5 stars all around. I think given the experience, we unfortunately won't be coming back

The only downfall I saw was definitely seeing the napkin holders , salt and pepper etc have probably never been wiped off. Definitely dirty and need some love. With all the germs running around. I'm a stickler for table areas being clean for the safety of customers. The food is absolutely amazing though!

Plenty meat was fairly tender, but again not much favor. Noodles ok. We also ordered fried rice and spicy noodle soup. Again both average. Beverage selection poor for an Asian American restaurant. Service ok, no strong feelings. Place clean. It reminds you of a older local neighborhood Chinese American restaurant just knew. Much better noodles and broth (of many types) at other local area restaurants. People waiting for seats as we left. Don't see hype. Chances of coming back are slim. Weak weak three.

Once again, Sophia and I stopped here for lunch which was a year later. This was the 3rd time…read morewe've been here which should've been done way earlier. The previous two times ended up with satisfaction. Shall the 3rd stop be icing on the cake? We were seated immediately upon walking inside. It was almost half packed which was fine with us. Decor was nice all around, the staff were friendly and customers seemed happy too. You know we can't negate that type of vibe. After looking through the menu for several minutes, I decided on ordering chicken in soy sauce (half portion) with a side of white rice and Egg Drop soup which came with crispy wonton strips. Everything was delicious. It has been a while since I've had this type of soup so I couldn't pass it up. The chicken was cooked well with plenty of soy sauce marinating the meat. I took half of it home where it was plentiful. Definitely not a bad lunch for the both of us (Sophia had the salt and pepper squid which was my go-to for previous visits). Hopefully we'll be back here sooner than later. Till next time :)

I've been to GuangDong for a birthday dinner previously and decided to go for dinner to give it a…read moresecond try. This was one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences I've had. From the moment we sat down, the service felt rushed. Our waitress barely gave us time to look at the menu before pushing us to order. It didn't feel welcoming at all, it felt like we were an inconvenience. While we were eating, there was a very concerning situation happening with some employees. Two women who appeared intoxicated kept coming from the back of the restaurant, stumbling and falling all over the floor. One of them was repeatedly rubbing her nose with what looked like a powdery substance while a man kept pulling them back into a room near the restrooms. This went on multiple times. It was extremely uncomfortable and honestly scary,especially because my kids and their friend were with us. We weren't the only ones disturbed. Two other tables actually got up and left while this was going on. A couple sitting nearby looked completely shocked when the waitress began mocking me later on. The whole atmosphere felt chaotic and unprofessional. We ended up asking for to-go boxes because the environment felt unsafe. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for it. The chicken was very soggy and not crispy at all. On top of that, the entire restaurant smelled strongly like smoke mixed with a harsh chemical odor. It did not feel clean. To make matters worse, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill. When I asked about it, the waitress immediately became defensive and said they charge 20% for parties over five. I calmly explained that we were three adults and two children (five total). Instead of clarifying professionally, she began yelling back and forth with another woman, mocking what I was saying. She then snatched the check from the table and said, "For future reference, it's 20% for everyone." The entire interaction was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Overall, extremely unprofessional, uncomfortable, and not a place I would recommend at all, especially for families.

Believe it will be picked up when it gets busier during the warmer weather or so.

Sophia and I headed here for lunch last weekend. I came across this place years ago on Yelp but…read morenever had the time to try them out. They did close for a bit during the pandemic due to a staff shortage, but opened back up and haven't lost a beat. Local Yelpers have posted positive reviews on the food and service. Let's see how the visit went. We were immediately seated when we walked inside. They actually had a nice crowd inside which definitely had them busy. Since it's a dim sum restaurant, they came around several times offering small dishes. We declined until the very end and decided to order from their regular menu. My order was a cup of Egg Drop soup for appetizers and salted and spicy scallop, shrimp and squid. Everything was truly delicious. The soup was very hearty and full of flavor as expected. The seafood was fried perfectly and full of spices. The portion could've been a little more but nonetheless it was really good. To end our meal, we chose their shrimp balls off the dim sum plate. It was really good and flavorful. For our first time here, we were both impressed. Wonderful staff and food to back up the hype. The next time we stop by, it'll purely be items via dim sum :)

Have an understanding of what's what if you're doing the dim sum since they didn't give you a menu that describes everything. Veryyy busy on the weekends and I don't think they take reservations. There was a line when we arrived on a Sunday afternoon before they even opened! Says a lot. My favorites were the spare ribs, beef stew, a type of taro dish, and the Chinese broccoli. I do wish they had more veggie dishes on the dim sum carts. You fill up fast so choose wisely! Next time would love to either try the lobster, steamed flounder, or roast duck.

The service is as out of the world as the outer space paintings on the walls!! She was so quick and friendly never left out cups empty and always so kind. If you want some great food with a huge variety and cool vibe I recommend Forbidden Palace. Especially during Happy Hour (must dine in to get the deals)

Hubby got his usual - Shanghai wonton soup, an egg roll, and Szechuan beef. He loved everything and ate it all, as usual. I got a small hot and sour soup and the eggplant with black bean sauce and I added fried tofu. Of course I couldn't finish everything, but it was all amazing. Adding the fried tofu doubled the size of my dish, so they gave me another takeout container of eggplant and tofu. That was nice of them. We also got a container of rice to share. I'm looking forward to lunch tomorrow when I get to eat all my leftovers.

I like that it's spaced out and you're not over crowded. Our waitress Catherine was awesome. She's always nice, friendly, and patient. She gave us the menu specials and allowed us to chat a bit before ordering. My friend ordered the cheese wontons, general tso chicken and dan dan noodles. The wontons were really good. I like that they were sweet and crispy. I'd get them again for sure. The dan dan noodles were spicy and flavorful. My sister and I got the Mongolian chicken, storm fish, and eggplant. This is my go to meal that I normally get, it's always tasty. The storm fish normally comes with a spicy mayo sauce, but they didn't have it this time. The fish was still ok, but the sauce is what gives it flavor, so it was a little bland this time. The eggplant and Mongolian chicken were yum, hot, and fresh!! I definitely recommend this restaurant to alot of people. I just think it's more elevated compared to regular Chinese takeout food. They have many delicious options on the menu, and again the vibe is chill. If you're planning a group dinner this is definitely a great option. The rooms have a lazy Susan on the table to make sharing the family style meals easy. Check them out!!

I found maybe 4 at most. It was also disappointing most of the sauce was on the bottom. So it's imperative you stir everything from bottom up upon receiving the order. The top layer tasted like it had barely any seasonings because of it. I wish I had known the meal came with copious amounts of mushrooms. I otherwise would have specifically requested the order be made without the them. I am not a big fan of mushrooms and especially the fragrant kind like the shiitake variety. I feel like I had mouthfuls of mushrooms in each bite and that's all I tasted. Perhaps I will order something else they are more known for the next time I believe they specialize in Szechuan cuisine.

As I looked around the restaurant, every guest seemed to enjoy their food. Overall, we had a great dining experience and I think most of it was because of the lady's energy. The food was delicious. Definitely would love to dine here again the next time I'm in Virginia.

We ate at imperial palace recently and it was not what I had expected...it was worse. The food was…read morefar more expensive than its quality warranted. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, chicken fried rice, and beef lo mein. The beef lo mein noodles were broken into small pieces instead leaving them as long noodles and there were more vegetables than there were noodles. The beef in the beef broccoli had an unusual taste like it had been sitting out for too long and the broccoli and bamboo shoots had a really weird taste that I can't even explain; we didn't finish it. The sweet and sour sauce had a slight flavor akin to some kind of cleaning agent; we just ate the chicken without the sauce. The chicken fried rice was the best out of all of it. They should get rid of the piano player and just play music, even traditional Chinese music, over the speakers. The internal appearance of the place made us think the food and ambience would be somewhat traditional, but it wasn't even close. China Ocean off of Holland has far better Chinese food than Imperial Palace. I will not recommend imperial palace nor returning to eat there. The staff/service was great, especially our waitress Sue.
