This is a very good Chinese delivery restaurant. We have tried both China House and Imperial House. While we really like the free 2L soda that comes with China House but we like the food from Imperial House better, and have been ordering delivery from there ever since trying it. (They give a can of soda or eggroll at $15 and 2L at 25$) Their orange chicken is delicious -- fresh and great orange flavor with peels in the sauce. They also include some broccoli and carrot in it too. Their kung pao chicken is very good too. They have a cheap small mixed vegetable which has always been fresh and tasty. Good portions too -- we always get at least two meals each from 1 entree, dinner and lunch the next day. Their delivery speed is really good -- not to fast or slow, just right, about 20-30 mins or so. We've ordered in the snow and ice, the delivery people are always friendly and come to the door (we've had delivery before that will honk and you have to go to their car to get it). They have online ordering and remember your last orders. When I've needed to call if we aren't home or on cell network, they ask if we want the same thing as last time -- its nice that they have a record of it and can make offline ordering easier for us! This is our go-to Chinese delivery place for about 1 year now and doesn't disappoint!! read more

The Egg Foo Young had no color nor taste. The worst I ever had. And they look like they're about to sellout or close down. Not one person had a smile on their face. They looked like they were pissed off that I ordered. They use to be a good recommended place. Maybe Chef Ramsey need to come see them. read more

Lady is extra rude !! I asked for Yat with onions. I received a ton of noodles with a spoon of gravy. Noodles stuck together because it was soooo dry . I will never go back. Both customer service and food are a ZERO!! read more

Nothing fancy, just a solid menu of Chinese take-out standards, with lots of vegan options. Personal favorites include the veggie lo mein (I add tofu for $1), and the General Tso's tofu. Friendly, covid safe service, and quick delivery as well. read more

The shrimp and broccoli just ask for spicy if you can handle it. Been going here for years for just the shrimp and broccoli it's a delicious rendition! read more

The steamed dumplings were too doughy, edamame was cold and barely salted and the egg drop soup was not great. My kid loves this spot and usually his fried sweet and sour chicken. However, even that was stale tasting. We may have gone too close to closing though. read more

It's Chinese food, and it's in Delco, I can't really say much besides it's standard Chinese takeout. I've eaten here for the better part of 5 years or so, and it's usually edible. I've had issues where the chicken in the Chicken and Broccoli is overcooked, or the sauce is too oily or salty, and maybe the egg rolls are glorified cabbage rolls. That being said, my go-to dishes are usually Chicken Mai Fun or Chicken Mooshu since those tend to be the most diverse in vegetables that aren't green veg and the flavors are inoffensive and easy to fix if messed up. You won't get the best Chinese food of your life out of a takeout place on the edge of the suburbs, but you'll at least have something else to fill your stomach besides pot roasts and pizza. read more

Been going here since I was a small girl. The workers are always nice and ordering on the phone is very quick. Once I ordered something with meat and the guy on the phone knew I was pescatarian just from my order, and recommended something else tasty. 10/10 restaurant. The food is made quickly and they will call you if you forgot about your order. Definitely recommend. read more

For chinese take out this place is great. The food is ready fast have had good service picking up and using delivery. Egg Rolls aren't the best but I dont even usually eat General Tso chicken, and find myself craving it from time to time now cause it is great here. It is not mushy like some places it is crispy and full of flavor. If your in the mood for some chinese take out this is your spot. read more

Chinese take-out places are typically a good option for a quick vegan meal, even as they range in quality. Located on West Chester Pike, Imperial House is an unassuming, yellow signed Chinese place recognizable in almost every community. I ordered via Grub Hub and picked up the order, which was ready when I arrived. The sesame tofu is simple, the sauce not too sweet yet very flavorful. The broccoli is fresh, steamed just enough so it still crunches and flavored with a spicy pepper sauce. The service was great, the woman at the counter who was also cooking greted me with a smile, and when I asked about vegan option s(ie: no fish sauce), she knew her menu. Highly recommended for Chinese takeout in UD, Overbrook, Havertown, etc. read more

Was feeling hungry but only had an old pepper and onion in my cabinet. I called in delivery for Imperials Bourbon Chicken. It arrived in perfect deliveryery time for a weekend night, 30 minutes, just in time to cook up my veggies and serve. My husband got pork fried rice and that was a step above the usual, with a hint of ginger in the flavoring. read more

I go here a couple times a week for lunch and they never disappoint. their food is not greasy as other Chinese restaurants and the price for the amount of food you get here is pretty generous. The order service is really fast and the food is ready a lot quicker than most places. read more

Its Krystal girl again. Had a taste for Chinese today, so I decided to try this place. I opted for take-out and I called and placed my pick-up order. When I arrived about 15 minutes later, my order was ready. I ordered small shrimp fried rice without onions, $5.30, the lady said. The lady was busy when I arrived with other orders so I waited. When my turn came, she said shrimp fried rice, I said yes. She handed me my bag with the shrimp fried rice, fork and napkins. She smiled. I was so hungry about this time, I almost ate the bag!!!The shrimp was good but the rice was a bit too salty. I enjoyed it and ate it all, probably because I was so hungry but a little too much salt. I would suggest to them, less salt. The service was good. The location in Upper Darby is wonderful. I will try this place again, just not shrimp fried rice. read more

Great for cheap chinese food. When we lived in Havertown, we regularly would order from here because this was the only place we knew of that delivered to us. The food isn't the best i've ever had, but it's good enough and the price is right. My boyfriend and I recently got take out from here. We were able to order online which is a nice feature. I got the kung pao chicken and that was good, the portions are huge. We also got some egg rolls and wanton soup, which were great. The young girl that is usually working at the counter(I assume owner's daughter) is super nice and helpful. read more

Ever since they changed to new ownership, the food become so terrible. They do not follow traditional Chinese way using natural ingredients to make sauces. Their food is unhealthy and high in salts and MSG. Avoid as much as you can. Their food makes your sick. read more

Tonight, i had a craving for some hot and sour soup. I was in the prowl for the nearest chinese resturaunt near me. Imperial was only a few minutes away, hopped in the car and went to order my soup for dinner. I realized i didnt have any cash on me, theres a $10 minimum charge if using credit/debit. I ended up buying the largest size soup, some white rice, and i was still $5 short. I ended up ordering some chicken wings. Thought to myself, could never go wrong with fried chicken wings. Well.....i was wrong. The wings were cooked right in front of me in the fryer. Too bad they were disgusting! On the outside it had that nice fried color to it. On the inside, they were yellow and undercooked. By far the worst wings ive ever seen and taken a bite out of. The hot and sour soup was its norm that you would get at any chinese resturaunt. The egg crisps wontons you put inside the soups were not fresh. Old and had a powder like texture to them. Im hoping i do not get sick from this food. Only nice thing to say is, the lady that took my order was very friendly. Thats why they only get 1 star. read more

This is decent Chinese delivery. We've ordered several times and it's good. Just good. It's definitely nothing to write home about. The best part is that you can do all of your ordering online. That's super easy and convenient, especially when you're worried about pronouncing something wrong! But- warning- their website is set for payment and will take your AMEX number. Too bad the restaurant doesn't actually take AMEX!! Three times in the past year, I've forgotten this, and paid online and three times I've gotten calls to either change the credit card or pay in cash. It's super frustrating! Their house fried rice is good and doesn't skimp on shrimp. My husband enjoys their general Tso chicken, as well as their hot and sour soup. We've had their orange beef, which is better than most as well as sesame beef and sesame chicken. We've never had a meal that we absolutely did not like. It's really all been good. Like I said... Just good. But, good is much better than bad! Oh, and their combination platters have a very decent amount of food! read more

Awesome food, kind staff. Made my house fried rice without mushrooms. Try Veggie dumplings they are awesome

There are two Chinese restaurants much closer to my home. However, I found this place and fell in love with their customer service the best I have ever received at a Chinese restaurant. I've ordered approximately seven or eight times and the food is always good. I'm not crazy about their fried chicken wings or buffalo wings. But that's not Chinese food so I'm okay with that. I've never actually been to their location, but I'm making a special trip just to meet the young lady who has giving me very good professional service each time I've called. If you're in the area or live within their delivery radius, give him a try. I don't believe you will be disappointed. read more

I love their shrimp and broccoli I eat it all the time. Love this place. Shrimp are big and they give u a lot lol.

***BEWARE, DANGER, CAUTION*** I have been order food from Imperial house for many years and never had a problem. Last night my little sister ordered chicken and broccoli and asked if I wanted some. Of course I do! Little did I know I was going to have a NIGHTMARE. The chicken was UNCOOKED!!!! ***BEWARE, DANGER, CAUTION*** I hate the chicken at around 4PM, and 10-15 minutes later my stomach began hurting.. a little. Then as time passed the pain started to intensify by around. My pain level was 8/10 on a pain scale from 6-3AM!! I began vomiting at 9PM. I vomited all night long, and was in excruciating pain. I'm almost sure I caught Salmonella. I'm sitting here the next morning, thanking god I'm okay. The fact that I missed the deadline to apply for health insurance and I'm only 25, I decided to wait instead of going straight to the EMERGENCY ROOM. If I did go to the emergency room, lucky for them I didn't, because I would have sued the crap out of them for all the pain and suffering this unsanitary filthy disgusting Chinese restaurant put me through. I know people make mistakes, and probably do this intentionally. But, if I was a 80 year old man eating this with a weak immune system, I may have DIED! You should be on point ALL the time. Never will I order from here again. Nor do I advise anybody reading this post, if they don't want to "RISK" getting sick. ***BEWARE, DANGER, CAUTION*** P.S. I'd like to also mention when I was sick, my mother called to let them know. And how rude of them to just hang up! Not once, but 4 times after calling! This lets you know what kind of people they are. They are definitely off the hook this time. I'm sure this will happen again and they'll get what they deserve. read more

this is our go to for Chinese food at my workplace. Great service and fast delivery!

Food here is cheap, but has little in it as well. Very disappointed. First, even after confirming that we are eating in the restaurant, they served the dish in take-out boxes. Second, more than half of the box is rice. Third, there are only about 5-6 pieces of beef in szechuan beef, while the rest is all vegetable. There is another dish in the menu, beef with mixed vegetable. I see no difference between them. Moreover, the food is just average. I will say that this might be a fine fast meal but will definitely not be a place I want to come back again. read more

I go here constantly, the decor and atmosphere is not too pleasing to look at, they do need to change that, but I can say that their food is great, and their service is very polite. read more

My first time ordering from Imperial House was on 06/08/18, I called to ask what was the minimum order for delivery, I was told $15.00 but I noticed on the website it 10.00. I placed an order for a large chicken noodle soup, two egg rolls, and a sweet and sour chicken combo. It took over an hour for my food to come, the soup was really delicious, my problem has to do with the sweet and sour chicken, no I didn't check it right away, but when I did it didn't have any sauce on it. I called and explained it to the person., I knew it may been too late for them to come that night, so we agreed to solve the problem in the morning. I called and I was told the cook said she put the sauce, I ask could they make another one send it out and I would send the one I have back to them untouched as proof. I asked for the manager she said she was the manager. So I would think she would be the one to make the decisions. After going back a forth she then says it nothing she can do. She could've just sent the sauce. Then she slammed the phone down in my ear, i will never order from this place again. read more

The owners must be reading these reviews, and taking notes. One reviewer discussed undercooked chicken. Mine was way overcooked. Before I go into detail here is some basic info about this place. Imperial House is basically your typical urban(ish) take-out joint. No tables, simply take out. Cheap, ugly signage, and spartan, dated decor. The menu is basic chinese take out. Prices are inexpensive. Going back to the chicken again, mine was undercooked. I ordered Sesame Chicken. The chicken was bland and very dry. How long did they cook it? Was it sitting around for a while? Who knows. The sauce didn't even taste like standard Sesame Chicken sauce. It was more like a bar-b-que sauce that was lightly brushed on. The food was cooked in typical amount of time. They do take credit cards, but if you charge less than $10, they have a sign that states they charge you an extra dollar. Not good business and a violation of their TOS with the credit card companies. It was edible enough to finish the meal. I will never order from here again. There is also metered street parking in front. read more

I used to order from here a lot but I think they must of changed owner and cook. Wasn't as good as I remembered . The prices went up. They use to make the best hot sour soup but it changed. read more

Not impressed On a search for the best Lemon Chicken - this is DEFINITELY .......NOT.....IT! Ordered take-out. It took a LONG time to get done - they said it "takes a while".....that's clearly because their deep fryer temp is too low. The chicken was mush - the coating was mush....even before the lemon sauce was put on it. (only a couple of minutes from home - it was still hot.) Speaking of lemon sauce - more like lemon-flavored water - didn't even stand up to the plain white rice - couldn't tell it was even on the chicken. Asked for a quart (large size) of wonton soup - got a small size. Another couple ordered after me - theirs was put into the deep fryer before mine (because "yours takes longer"). Hmmmmmm...... On another note - ladies room was out of order - but no sign on the door to tell you that - so small you have to almost back into the room in order to get past the door. I did end up with an extra egg roll in my bag - was it an accident or an apology? Didn't eat anything else because the chicken was so heavy - the rest will have to wait until much later. So.....the search continues. read more
