Amazing restaurant beautiful environment great food friendly great drinks love this restaurant

The most important aspect is the food and service. The third the ambiance. As for the food. Many dishes ordered and enjoyed. To start: The Pu Pu for two (with dynasty wing sauce upgrade) Many of you will come here in the hopes of recapturing the China Dynasty wing. This wing comes circled around the flavor of the Dynasty wing, but is not exactly the Dynasty wing you loved. I will say, the chicken wing (4) (2 wings 2 drums) itself is a larger wing than China Dynasty long offered. I appreciated that. The Beef teriyaki were good and the Pu Pu flame was warranted to char them up a bit (2) the egg rolls were good (2) the bone in spareribs were good (2) the shrimp (2) I will omit my opinion on as it would not be fair for me to rate as coconut is not my flavor. Crab Rangoon (2) (Triangle style) I did not try, but am told that they pass, & lastly boneless chicken (8) was very good. I appreciated the fact that the server Natalie offered to bring brown gravy along with the Pu Pu platter. It was a very strong move of her. As for Natalie she was very attentive and a nice server. As for the mains- the Mongolian Beef combo with Pork fried rice and egg roll. It was very good. Beef was tender, and plenty of veg (do wish there was some more beef) and the pork fried rice with adding some white pepper and some of the dynasty sauce got it over the finish line. Sesame chicken was ordered, and I'm told it was good as well. As for the ambiance. I appreciate the fact that the new owners spent what is likely a fortunate to renovate. It is very modern, and very bright. Subjectively speaking it does not match the comfort food that they serve. I do appreciate a more dim, ambient environment while eating Chinese food. Everyone was friendly just the same. If a modern scene, and good Chinese is what you look for, without a doubt give Imperial a go. I did come out of retirement for this review. Enjoy, Chinese Food In RI read more

Arrived late afternoon on Saturday 08/22/26. We were seated immediately and the booth was comfortable. Waitress took our order for a pupu platter and a scorpion bowl. She was very pleasant. It took a long time for our drinks and food to arrive, more then 15 minutes for the drink, at least 20 minutes for the food. When the food & drink arrived, the scorpion bowl was very good and the pupu plater was excellent. It had definitely been freshly prepared, honestly made the wait worth it. We loved everything in the pupu plater except for the shrimp. They were covered in really SWEET coconut, like sweetened coconut you'd expect in a desert pastry and then deep fried. WAY too sweet for a coating on a deep fried shrimp. If the shrimp had the same coating as the chicken fingers, they would have been delicious. We also ordered hunan pork & special lomein, both were good. With the exception of the too sweet coconut shrimp, we enjoyed everything served to us. The waitress was very nice and I thought pricing was appropriate for the quality & quantity of the food. I would go back again and would recommend... read more

I am very disappointed with my recent experience. I was a long-time fan of the original China Dynasty, which offered a classic, "old school" Chinese dining experience with excellent food. Unfortunately, this new establishment feels more like an Apple Store turned restaurant, and the service has suffered significantly. During my visit, my takeout order sat on the counter for 15 minutes while staff ignored it. When I finally had to step up and ask if the order was mine, I received no apology or even a response from the staff. The service is unacceptable, and the overall experience was poor. I will not be returning. Bring back China Dynasty!!! #stickywings read more

Wanted to check out this newly renovated spot where China Dynasty used to reside. What a facelift - the space was gutted and redone with a modern and sleek aesthetic. Plenty of seating - tables, booths and bar seating. They do have a parking lot, spots in front of the building and on the side - we ended up parking on the side of the building and there is a ramp for handicap accessibility. We were greeted and seated very quickly - place was only 25% occupied on a Sunday night. Paco was our waiter and he was very personable and accommodating. We ordered wonton soup, boneless ribs, calamari, Takoyaki and I got the chicken with eggplant combo. Overall for Chinese American, they do a really good job. We really liked the boneless ribs and calamari, ribs had that nice grilled charred taste and not too overly sweet glaze. I prefer ribs with no glaze but if it has one - this wasn't a bad one to accompany it. The menu is VAST - serving Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese from what I remember. Sometimes you worry that when a restaurant tries to do too much, they might not excel at all of it. We didn't have any Japanese (sushi) or Vietnamese (pho) dishes so can't attest to those but for what we did have, we enjoyed. They have reasonably priced lunch combos for those wanting to save a buck! For what it is - Imperial is pretty solid and we are looking forward to our next visit. read more

Server was very nice as was the owner but the food was not good. The chicken was chewy and I couldn't bite into it (teriyaki chicken skewers), not impressed at all. read more

DELICIOUS. Amazing food across the board. The wings were probably my favorite. The sticky sauce is some of the best I've had, wings super crispy. Everything on the pupu platter was so so good. Sushi was gorgeous and delicious! Drinks were so yummy. Dining room looks newly renovated and so pretty. Clean. Service was so nice and quick. One of the best Chinese places I've been to in a long time. read more

I took the drive from mass after seeing this restaurant pop up on my IG feed. The restaurant is located in a residential area and has plenty of parking. The outside of the restaurant is very imperial looking if that makes sense. When we entered we were greeted by a very nice hostess who walked us to the table. I ordered the small pupu platter, thai wings, house rice and lobster sauce. The food was very good and flavorful. The ribs were so tender and sweet im still thinking of them. The wings were also very good and juicy. The only thing I didn't care for was the lobster sauce as it's different than the ones I'm used to in Mass. The owner came out to talk to us she was so nice. Listen, if you're craving good Chinese in RI, eat here. I did, and will be back. It gets a 5, because of the hospitality and flavor. read more

Haven't had Chinese food for many years and decided to enjoy it once again.The Imperial Dynasty is very clean and has a well-organized interior with good lighting and comfortable booths. Our server was attentive, and accurate. Hubby and I ordered two different dishes that we could share: General Tso's chicken served with an order of rice, and an entree of noodles with chicken. I actually liked the General Tso's chicken moreso due to its crispiness whereas the sliced chicken itself mixed in with the noodles was not that tasty, but the noodles were very good. The white rice that accompanied the General Tso's chicken was also great. It was overall a pleasant experience and we'll return once we have completed our tour of a group of Chinese restaurants recommended to us! read more

I've been here three times since it reopened as Imperial Dynasty and this was by far the worst visit. It was hot as hell inside, but I gave them a pass because idk maybe the AC broke. We ordered gyoza and they were fine. The sticky wings will never be as good as China Dynasty's were but these tasted different than the other two times we got them. Way too much soy sauce and way too much cornstarch. The beef teriyaki in the bento box needed to be seasoned, super bland. But the killer was the ikura salmon roe nigiri we got- it looked and felt like it had been frozen and thawed out instead of prepared fresh. Mushy consistency that didn't have the typical pop of caviar when you eat it. It was so gross we ended up making a complaint and getting it comped. I don't know that we'll bother going back again. read more

Great ambiance. Food was delicious! The best egg drop soup and crab rangoons I've ever had. They were light, crispy and stuffed. I had a scorpion bowl which was well made by our bartender Sam. We like to dine at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We even got to meet the owner Sophia. We had a wonderful evening all around and will definitely dine there again read more

Imperial Dynasty - Single scorpion bowl - Chinese Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

The menu is enormous, to the point that it's a bit overwhelming. But I've been here a few times no so I feel like I have a better idea of it all. The chicken lo mein is delicious. I prefer the non-as-authentic rice noddles and they use the round noodles, but the taste and content is delicious. The egg rolls are average, nothing really special. My kids love the sesame chicken (I agree it's delicious) and my husband has gotten the hibachi twice and said both times it was delicious. The service is very good, and I love the fact that it's so light and open inside. The old restaurant was so dark you could barely see your food in front of you so it's really nice that it's so bright and light inside. It just feels a million times cleaner. read more

My husband and I went there today for lunch. It was a great experience. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was very relaxed (A.C. was pumping more than I'd like but that's a personal preference). Our server, Kenny, was really nice and Sophie (the owner) came over to make sure everything was good. We will definitely be back! read more

Whoa, the menu is ginormous! Not gonna lie I wasn't expecting much from this restaurant. But I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was made well and had great flavor. No complaints really besides my miso soup coming out lukewarm and the chasu pork was not tender. There's only one waiter for the whole restaurant probably cause they're still new. It's a strange retro style lol idk if I like it or not. But it's whatever ‍ read more

To start- the menu is huge. Chinese-Japanese fusion with Pho- so an Asian delicacy. The vibe - def new age feel. Bright - modern decor- American poppy music. The open cooking concept was cool - very engaging. The centered bar creates a cool lively feel. The restaurant is open which creates community. The food was good. The Nime Chow was ok but the peanut sauce was thick and added nice flavor. The hot and sour soup was ok. The egg roll was par. The chicken wings were just like the old place - if u know u know- good, sweet and sticky. The chicken lemongrass was ok could have used more sauce. And the rice was ok but full of veggies. The one thing is that the food was all like warm at best. However the sushi was great - the ocean roll was tasty and the eel was fresh. The best thing was the service. The young man was full of suggestions and great conversation. I will come back to sit with him and enjoy good conversations. read more

I recently visited Imperial Dynasty in Cranston for the second time. The atmosphere is very modern and bright. The food is amazing! I had Moo Goo Gai Pan Szechuan style on my first visit, with an egg roll. My meal was delicious! I had an ample portion to take home as well. On my second visit, I had Sesame Tofu. It tasted even better than it looked! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Imperial Dynasty - Sesame Tofu - Chinese Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

let me just start off by saying don't go here. There's plenty more reputable, honest Chinese restaurants.Owner and husband are a thief watch out do not use your debit card here They try to steal it double charged our card and stole card on us. Told us they didn't have the card, but we just sat at the bar and had food they said they didn't have the card then charge $10 to it Had to report it stolen reported card stolen, and told the police what they are doing. The owner and her husband it seems were the ones that were involved in this situation very disappointed because the food was good. read more

My wife and I have been there twice. Food is outstanding service is nonexistent. Debating whether to ever go back there again.

I ordered take out tonight it was supposed to be done in 15 min it took an hour . Food was just ok prob never going back .

First time coming here and it was definitely a pretty nice experience. If I could give half a star in the review I'd ultimately give the place a 4.5/5 stars just due to the service & parking (which I hit on later in the review). The updated interior and overall ambiance is quite nice and there is ample space for plenty of guests. You have the choice of a high top table, bar seating, booths and shorter chairs with tables. Parking is a little tight, but manageable. The sign on the front door that says "HELP WANTED" says a lot about the service that you'll be receiving. They are clearly short staffed which means that the servers aren't able to constantly check up on their patrons (extremely reasonable) and it seems like some people leaving reviews complaining about the service would like the be babysat during their visit. These nice ladies are running around trying to provide the best service they can for a rather large section. As long as you're polite and patient, the waitresses will take care of you and you'll get what you need, just expect to wait for a little. Overall, once you request something, they're on it rather quickly. The menu is extremely extensive and is a tad overwhelming if you're looking for something new to try. Due to this, we stuck with our regular "Chinese takeout orders" to make judgement on how we thought other items would be and we were quite satisfied. It's nothing extraordinary but delivers what's expected and satisfies the common "Chinese food" desires our American palates crave from time to time. The prices aren't ridiculous like similar restaurants, the portions are great, and they even have deals for lunch. We didn't try any cocktails this time around, however, their list of alcoholic beverages offers a handful of options. They even have a few Asian imported beers and spirits which is always nice when you're visiting a place with cuisine that mimics a specific region. (They even gave us a charming glass for the Shirley temple which is always rather thoughtful) We look forward to coming here again and trying something different or new! Don't listen to the asinine, 1 star reviews complaining about issues that the staff can't control. read more

I am so happy to finally have a clean and delicious new Chinese restaurant in the area! We ordered the hibachi chicken & beef, the Mongolian beef, pork dumplings, pork lo mean, and crab rangoon.

This is my new favorite place! Just like a lot of people that are local, we didn't know what to expect when the original restaurant closed down, it was going to be big shoes to fill. Well let me say they have been filled and then some!. It's beautiful inside gorgeous bar gorgeous cocktails Sophie makes the best espresso Martini I ever had. The menu is phenomenal and between me and all my friends every single thing we've had we loved. I live in LA and had sushi at some of the fanciest places and the sushi at this place was the most gorgeous best tasting sushi I've ever had. Between me and a big group of friends we've had a lot of different dishes there and everything has been top-notch! We have officially become regulars and every time I come home this will be my number one go to. Two thumbs all the way up. The staff is so friendly and professional me and my friends love it there! read more

First off, menu was huge. Food was excellent. But, sitting at the bar, the service was slow slow slow. Sammy works her butt off, the guy moves like he took a dozen Valium before his shift. Kitchen is slow. We saw 2 couple at the bar. Only one meal came for each couple. The other got their food 10 minutes after. That's a big no no for me. When we left the bar was a mess with dishes and drink glasses from at least 9 patrons who already left. Clean up when people leave already. Will ya. Looks dirty. I hope they make it, but if the service continues like that. They better hope to make it on take out. Oh, and one more thing. It's too bright in there. read more

First time here! The ambiance is amazing and the food is fresh! The service was quick and attentive!

The worst Asian food I've ever eaten The service is awful they don't know what they are doing. Why don't they change their cooks?? China Dynasty it is not!! read more

I would give this place a negative 0 if I could. Just left after waiting 20 minutes at the bar while the server waited on all her regulars, even though they came in after us. Never got my drink, asked for water twice, came back to us 3 times and asked what we'd like to order but never took our order so I can't even tell you if the food is good or not. Nope, too many good restaurants to try this place again. Heading to Hei. read more

Four of us tried this restaurant recently, since its new opening. What a Great experience. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a smile and walked to our table. The restaurant is completely remodeled, beautifully decorated, much bigger than previous restaurant and bright and clean! Our food, chicken lo main, nime chow, Spare ribs, chicken wings, egg foo young, pad Thai, egg rolls,and the most tender, delicious steak teriyaki I have ever eaten, was amazing. The menu is huge with so many options. Our server was so accommodating when the fried ice cream was not available. He offered us two free desserts instead. We declined his kind offer because we were actually all too full anyway! Would I recommend trying this restaurant? DEFINITELY!! read more

me and my sister went for lunch very clean food was good just needs more pork fried rice on your plate serve was good. the new owner came to our table and ask how was are food and ask was there's anything needs to be changed. and the owner had told us that you also can have the chef cook your food the way you would like it nice inside would I go again yes and the food is clean if that makes sense very good read more

I want that tonight and I ordered a boneless chicken and brown gravy combination plate and they gave me chicken fingers instead I was very disappointed. That's not what I wanted and the gravy is not very flavorful. I should've went to Asia. This is the third time I have tried them and I'm not going back. read more

went to this place to try it out for the first time after hearing good reviews online. we ordered all our drinks and food at once-- my sister got a scorpion bowl and all of us ordered all our food for dinner (appetizers and entrees at the same time, since some of us were eating apps for dinner). soft drinks came out and a water for my sister, no scorpion bowl. probably 30 min later my parents food comes out, plus our appetizers. my sister and i wait ten minutes for our own food with no scorpion bowl. when it comes to the food, we personally didn't think anything was notable except for maybe the sticky wings. this whole time, we are watching the poor hostess and waiter run around the entire restaurant trying to serve everyone at once-- not trying to place all the blame on them, because they were just trying to do their job and were completely overwhelmed!! once my sister was halfway done eating, her large scorpion bowl comes out. she maybe finishes a quarter of it before we're set to leave. thankfully our waiter removed it from the bill at our request seeing it took so long to make. i feel bad for the staff as it seems like they do not have enough people for the amount the restaurant is choosing to seat-- i absolutely would've preferred a bit of a wait if it meant everyone in the restaurant got better, more attentive service. these people (minus the sushi bar chef who stood behind the bar with his earbuds in chilling lol) looked like they were being spread a bit too thin and i really hope the restaurant isn't like that every single night. they said they were busy but the amount of staff to tables that i was seeing just didn't make sense. needless to say, i think my family will be sticking with out other favorite chinese places for now. read more
