Great service, GREAT dim sum menu and family friendly atmosphere. The scallion pancakes were such a great dish we got a second order.

Pros: very good shrimp egg foo young and beef with broccoli. Friendly staff. Cons: 20 plus minutes to have order taken and the same to get your bill. So if you are in a time crunch this may not be the place for you. Wonton soup was greasy and the wontons themselves were nothing special. read more

The food was awful. We loved the old Imperial Dragon and this is not relatively close. The beef and pot stickers seemed bizarre in texture and the egg foo young had a strong allspice taste with bright yellow sauce. We ordered $90 of food and all was a disappointment! read more

The service is excellent. There is a short wait time. The food is delicious. The place is beautiful. There is a full bar and two tv's with ticker tape close captions. read more

We called ahead for reserving a table for eight. They asked if we'd preferred regular table or high top. I requested a regular table and they accommodated perfectly. Our servers had water at the table. Everyone's food came out hot and as requested. The restaurant was very clean and the service was excellent. The food was plentiful and really good. Everyone took home some of their mains. My recommendation is to order a few mains and enjoy family style. That's not everyone's style though , but I think you get to try many options and enjoy the various food. As this was for a birthday celebration, just went with the flow of the guests. My chicken egg roll was really nice and the kung po tofu spicey was perfect., I tried the general tso chicken and it was flavorful. I also tried the orange beef and it was nice. Not too sweet. Definitely would order again and dine in or take out ! read more

Imperial Dragon - Kung Po Tofu - Chinese Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

I've been here twice. The food is fair, the service good. The cleanliness is at issue. The floor is sticky, and the decor/ambiance is lacking. read more

Well very disappointed!!! Apparently they just changed hands in the last few days. From what we ordered for take out was NOT as good. Rice over cooked, egg rolls half empty . Ordered dinner fried rice with chicken ( NO BEAN SPOUTS) well guess who had to pick out sprouts for 10 minutes. Not pleased read more

Great food and service. So many selections to choose from. Delicious egg rolls. Our standard when we have a taste for Chinese food. May be a little pricey buy worth it because the portions are huge. read more

Today, October 21, 2025 A Disappointing Return to Imperial Dragon Under New Ownership I was excited to revisit Imperial Dragon after hearing that the quality had improved under the new ownership. Unfortunately, my fourth visit since the change was a major disappointment and a stark contrast to the wonderful food and service I experienced with the former owners. Service: Repeatedly Substandard On three of my four visits, I have been served by the same rude waitress. Her poor attitude and lack of courtesy were a significant part of the negative experience. Her dismissive behavior set a sour tone for the entire meal. Food: Lacking in Flavor and Quality The food was far below expectations. My Chicken Subgum was tasteless and missing key ingredients like garlic. Oddly enough, the kitchen included zucchini which was a first for me. The chicken had a grainy, unappealing texture, and the celery was noticeably old and bitter. I also ordered a combination plate and was surprised to be denied a simple swap of fried rice for white rice, even though the combo itself is an upcharge. The fried rice that was served had no "extras"--just rice overwhelmed with soy sauce. My eggroll was also served lukewarm, as if it had been sitting out for too long. Conclusion My only mistake was not walking out the moment I encountered the rude service. Based on the consistently low quality of both the service and the food, I can confidently say I will never be returning to Imperial Dragon. Save your time and money. read more

Wow! Haven't been here in years, but decided to give it a try since they reopened. We planned to sit in/at the bar area, but thaf side of restaurant was closed bc they didn't have a bartender. No big deal. We were seated and our waitress was efficient w water and menus. I ordered the Chicken War Siu Gai (sp?) and my husband ordered the General Tso Chicken. We were given a small bowl of won ton soup to start which was a pleasant surprise. It was delicious! My War Sia Gai was the BEST I've ever had of this dish. Most restaurants in the area just serve little tenders w gravy on the side. This was served over a bed of lettuce w an amazing portion size and was cooked perfectly. My husband loved his meal as well. Amazing portion sizes and service. We will definitely be back! I hope they make it and stay open this time around! read more

Place is well lit, traditionally decorated, and well setup for the business. They have multiple options to accommodate groups to include a separate party room. Food was cooked well and the menu is long so there's something for everyone. Be forewarned, there is no kids menu or real options for children. Service leaves a lot to be desired. You have to bother them for refills on drinks, they regularly cannot handle parties above 4 people, and they'll either get your bill confused, not bring you all of your food, or bring you something you didn't order and then charge you for it. Rather frustrating experience that detracts badly from the rest of the business. read more

The food was not as good and the portions are small. Wish they had combination dishes for most of the meals so my whole family cold have what they wanted. We spent 120 bucks and we could have just gone to a buffet for half that cost. read more

I am so happy that Imperial Dragon is back in action they were very much missed. I ordered their sweet and sour pork which was delectable since they actually put chunks of pineapple in the sauce which is rare these days from other Chinese restaurants. The added fried rice and shrimp egg-roll was also very good. read more

I have to give this amazing restaurant another great review. Their food is so fresh and so good. The service is amazing. I feel so comfortable going here. I travel around Northeast Ohio for work and I live about 45 minutes from Imperial Dragon and I go out of my way to eat lunch here when I can. I highly suggest Imperial Dragon. I don't know the owners, I don't know anybody that works here, I just feel so comfortable with the ambience and the atmosphere here. read more

This is the best Chinese food / dim sum in Mentor. The food is fresh and made with quality ingredients. Everyone is always so nice and it's one of the rare places you can dine in for Chinese food. read more

The service was good, she was very friendly. Egg rolls were also good, but a lot smaller than they used to be. Everything is alacart now! What happened to the egg roll and soup coming with your order? And when we dined in, shrimp chips were given to us--not anymore. Portions are smaller too. First time I've never had leftovers, which was very disappointing. Prices have gone up significantly. We'll definitely look elsewhere for Chinese. This used to be our favorite. read more

The food is delicious and it's enough for 2 meals! I usually order thru DoorDash and always have a good meal waiting for me. read more

The prices are up and the quantity is down. Same food suppliers as all the other Chinese restaurants, including the MSG. I suffered for two days later with joint pain and muscle fatigue. The tea used to be complementary, but now they charge a dollar, which isn't a lot, but it's not traditional. The service was outstanding, and the ambience was above average. read more

Food is always AMAZING! Hearty portions always! Everything is cooked to order, and it's consistently good! Staff there is always inviting and helpful! They definitely do work hard for their tips! The restaurant is set at the perfect temperature every time, plates and cutlery always clean! Even their water tastes great! There is a bar for those who want to stop by for an adult beverage after working hard! The lighting is PERFECTION! Not too bright, not too dark! This place better never close! I have been coming here for nearly 20 years, and I never once had a bad experience! It's a staple in Mentor, and this city would not be the same without the Imperial Dragon!!! read more

Just don't.... If you like Chinese food and are used to having half way decent food...don't go here. We got take out. They charge an exorbitant amount for Chicken Chow Mein that looked like soup. There was so much water that I was convinced that there had to be some mistake. It seriously could have passed for soup. Therefore it was soaking in water and had absolutely no taste to it whatsoever. Absolutely terrible. I was so disappointed and considered calling and asking what exactly they gave me and if it was a mistake...but I decided that this is probably how they make it and they aren't going to give a hoot what I have to say. They aren't going to change the way they prepare their food. Your best bet is just go someplace else read more

The food was excellent, the portion was so big we took it home for another great meal First impression was the dinning area was very well kept, cloth table cloths, the food look freshly made to order, that impressed us more than the decor, the staff was very friendly, service was great, We find found a Chinese restaurant that meets our expectations, we definitely will make it a regular stop read more

Recently reopened and probably having issues so service was a little off par but all in all, food was good service average price was ok.

This place used to be better. Not sure if different management or not, but the food is very bland and greasy. I can't seem to find any good Asian eateries near me. read more

Rice taste old, like a day old, on the order for lunch. If it was not for that I would have them 6 start, one up of the five ‍‍‍ read more

We ordered takeout for Christmas Day ! Food was excellent! The host was very sweet and accommodating to tell how long I had to wait ! The environment was nicely decorated and quiet inside the restaurant! Very busy!! But will go back there again for sure !! read more

So glad to have Imperial Dragon back! The inside has been refreshed, lightened up and has new flooring. The menu is updated with both old favorites and new items (they now have Pad Thai!). We've ordered takeout 3 times now and everything we've tried has been fresh and delicious. Prices were comparable for the quality and portion sizes you receive. Definitely will be our 'go to' again for Chinese food! read more

Tried the sesame chicken and was very good with a nice sized portion. my wife had lemon chicken and was also good. We have enough leftovers for tomorow and maybe next day read more

Food was excellent and the restaurant was very clean. Would go again just to try something new or just get what I got before, it was good

This was our second time here since they reopened and the food is even better than the first time. Ordered the war sui chicken combo and it was fabulous. Me wife ordered the oan fried noodles with an egg roll and again delicious. Lots of meat in the dish and we both have lots of leftovers to look forward to. read more

Excellent food and service. Happy to have them back in business! Nice, relaxing dining room and bar, too! Just wish we lived closer to Mentor. read more

Ordered takeout! Beef dry chow fun. Wonton soup. And shrimp chips. Everything was very fresh and flavorful! And it was packaged very well for the trip home, with cardboard under the soup so it wouldn't spill. If you're looking for good Asian take-out in Mentor, go here! read more

The food is really awesome. The shrimp pad Thai is amazing. I couldn't believe the size of the shrimp and how fresh it was. The sweet and sour chicken is how it is supposed to be made, with the pineapple, green peppers, and carrots. The service and staff are amazing. Since it changed management, the service and food have improved so much. This is my go-to for good quality Chinese food. read more

I hate to do this because this has been the place that I compare every other Chinese place to. I've been getting the chicken fried rice from here for 12~ years. I ordered it again today. I got home ten min later and my car seat was covered in oil. The bag bottom was drenched in oil. The container was styrofoam rather than the usual box. It had leaked oil everywhere. The rice tastes absolutely terrible and I had to throw 3/4 of it out. I don't know what's happened here but it makes me upset. I won't give up on you just yet, but I threw away $7 today. read more
