Told that this place had been around for over 20 years and decided to try it for a weekend lunch. Order at the counter, the menu is diverse with items ranging primarily between $6-9 dollars. You can watch everything being made on the line fresh and then step down to the end of the counter to pick up your meal. Restaurant was clean, but our table was a little sticky. We got Mongolian Beef (spicy) and Orange Chicken (Slightly spicy). The meal is the entrée and comes with either steamed or fried rice. Egg Rolls, etc are extra. Portion size is fair. Both dishes had good flavor. Overall, a decent and reasonably priced place for lunch/dinner, but nothing fancy. read more

Imperial Palace Express - Main counter to order - Chinese Near Me - Bellevue, Nebraska

Ordered sesame chicken with fried rice and they gave me white rice, no biggie but the other order we had was vegetable beef with lo mein, they charged for a side of "Lo mein" that is literally just dry noodles?? Like what? Why would anyone want plain noodles? Their menu says it can be substituted for an up charge, but they apparently don't understand their own menu. Also they serviced more people through the drive through while we waited inside after ordering. Probably won't be back, not worth it. read more

I ordered a soda for a drink and they didn't give me a cup for the soda. They also failed to give me a receipt. The menu board above the counter listed lo mein can be "substituted" for rice for an extra $1.50. i was told lo mein had to be ordered separately as an additional side. The lo mein noodles were plain, no sauce, no nothing. Talk about unappetizing. The beef they used is also lower quality than the previous owners used. I am never going back again. read more

Edit: this is fucking unbelievable. There was fucking nasty thing in it. Thank god I looked before taking another bite. unfucking believable. first time trying this place and had multiple pieces of hair in my food in the first few bites. to say I'm disappointed is beyond belief considering I give very few reviews but I had to leave this one. I can understand sometimes things happen but to have multiple in just my food? that's ridiculous. don't recommend this place. the food is subpar unfortunately. it's edible but it sure isn't special. the fried rice tastes like it was cold and just microwaved so it didn't taste fresh by any means. read more

This is probably my favorite place on the planet earth. Please try the hot braised chicken. It will change your life. And Tony is nicest, my reliable guy in charge. I'm serious, go here and try it. It beats any Panda Express, or any thing like that. I love imperial with my whole heart and soul, and I know everyone who goes here will love it. Thank you read more

I ordered garlic chicken W white steamed rice. they gave me the wrong order 3 times. shit business

The Best Chicken Fried Rice anywhere. The staff is always friendly, even when it's super busy. Love their roomy dining area as well. If I'm anywhere close to Bellevue, I will often change my lunch plans so that I can have an outstanding meal. Thank you Imperial Palace for your delicious menu of items. Highly recommend :-) read more

I'm not sure how they do it, but after we ordered, our food was ready in only a few minutes. "Well, how was it?" you might ask. We thought it was very good. Bookguy comes here a lot and suggested I go with to try it out. I had veggie fried rice loaded with broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, mushrooms, onion, and pea pods. It was a two-three meal portion and I was able to add soy sauce the minimal way I like it. I also had a couple of crab Rangoon and they were nice and crispy. Bookguy had shrimp fried rice. He asked for something crunchy to top it off so it also included a pile of almonds. He likes the egg rolls too. The space is clean and not crowded but they have a steady line of cars picking up food. The workers all wear masks and are delightfully friendly. I do wish everything wasn't served on styrofoam, but hey, nobody's perfect. It's located in Bellevue, so if you find yourself in that neck of the woods, give it a try. read more

It is not a tremendous amount of food for the price of the meal (it cost me $13 for my orange chicken and rice with the egg roll and soda combo. It was absolutely fresh and delicious! It is a perfect quick lunch. I even had real pieces of orange, which you do t always get! read more

Best Crab Rangoon I have ever had! It actually has little bits of crab in it and the wonton is very lIght and crispy. It also wasn't greasy like most places and their sweet and sour sauce is on point! The young man in the window is always very personable and the owners are dedicated. read more

Been going here since I was little best Chinese food and crab ragoon I ever had!! Though the owner changed they still do a great job at making my favorite dishes :) read more

Best WonTon i have ever had. Found this place by place by accident, but i would recommend it. The staff is fast and friendly. I was just driving by and notice a lot of cars out front and decided to check it out. We're glad we stopped by. Plenty of parking too. read more

Most of these negative reviewers have got to be nuts! This place is AWESOME! My absolute favorite place for a fast lunch! The service is absolutely incredible, food is prepared usually within less than 2 minutes! read more

This is by far the worst Chinese, or even restaurant I've ever ordered food from. Please do not waste your money with Imperial Palace Express. It's one thing to have terrible, and simply disgusting food. But to also have poor service is hard to do. But Imperial Palace Express has accomplished just that. If someone called me and said hey I'm going to drop off some free Imperial Palace Express, I would beg them not too. If I had to decide between eating jail food, and this place I would scream lock me up. All jokes aside this place is not good. With so many other Chinese food options I would recommend going else where. read more

#ImperialPalaceExpressIllness If you can't serve even decent food maybe it is time to consider closing down the restaurant. We thought about driving up the street a bit to eat at Umami, but were in a hurry and this was close to home. Big mistake. My family and I were treated to the worst Asian-fusion dining experience that we all could remember. My wife and 2-year old are now sick and I am not at this point, which I mostly attribute to years of digesting MRE's in service of our country conditioning my stomach to tolerate such sustenance-level rations of sewer fare. (MRE's are very good these days I hear.) Sweet and Sour Chicken is supposed to be crispy, yet it was soaked in some type of red sweet sugar brine that would take the chrome off of any tail pipe. It was soggy, and that is being kind. The pot stickers were cold and tasted like they had gone past expiration, as well as the overcooked "egg" rolls which were much akin to some EXTREME deep fried attempt at some publicly shameful variant of kimchi rolls. Imagine burnt sauerkraut rolls--wait--burnt rotten sauerkraut rolls. Shame on you for making our family sick Imperial Shanty, wasting our time and ruining our family evening. We will never eat at your 'establishment' again and will tell everyone we know not to eat @ImperialPalaceExpress. #donteathere #ImperialPalaceExpressSickness #shouldhaveeatenatUMAMI Time to consider closing down shop. 是时候考虑关店了。 Shì shíhòu kǎolǜ guān diànle!!! read more

Got three meals, cashew chicken, schezewan chicken, and wang's chicken. They mixed up the sauces for each meal and didn't taste how they used to, so we didn't even know which was supposed to be which. Got fried rice with each of them and it was basically bland white rice with a bit of egg bits. One of the meals we got had maybe 6 pieces of chicken, which (especially with the bland rice) is not enough to be $9 in my opinion. One of the meals was unbreaded chicken, which was extremely soggy, rubbery, and in a watered down sauce, and one of the others was basically gristle with a coat of breading around it. Very disappointed. My family and I went to this location once before and it was much better than it is now. read more

Everyone has that one restaurant their friends say "really" or that one guilty pleasure dish. When craving fried rice I always choose Imperial Palace. I know it's not your typical foodie pick, but there is something about it that keeps me coming back. The drive thru staff is always friendly and the service quick. Thank you Imperial Palace for always fueling my guilty pleasure. read more

Imperial Palace Express - Combination Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Bellevue, Nebraska

Food was NASTY! My wife is highly allergic to mushrooms and since their menus have no description, we did not know. Every dish came with MANY mushrooms except the lemon chicken which was also nasty. Hot sour soup was neither hot nor sour, and full of tofu. We tried this place over a year ago (pre covid), it was nasty then also. Thought we'd try again. Two attempts, we won't be back. read more

Rice is kinda dry. Food still bangs. Staff is great and very kind. Told my crippled stay put and brought him his food to our table.

They certainly won't get another dime from me or my family. Went there and ordered food through the drive through. Get home its wrong. we call them and they proceed to tell us they don't have a ticket for what we order. Well of course you don't you gave us the wrong food. That was it, they refused to correct the mistake. read more

This is the 2nd time they have messed up my order, ordered side of grilled chicken and the gave me breaded chicken (which I don't like), I asked for a side of LEMON sauce like comes on the lemon chicken and they gave me some greasy brown sauce with small lemon wedges in it, the teriyaki chicken tastes bland, all this for $32 which is a rip off, until they can learn to get an order correct I will not be going back there. read more

I liked the taste of their food when they were able to make it correctly, but most of the batches of beef fried rice that they have served me recently are absolutely drenched in greases & oils. There was so much grease & oil saturating the rice these last couple of times I ate food from here that it completely changed the texture of it and made the rice extremely gummy to where it kept sticking to my teeth whenever I chewed on it. I couldn't even finish it because it felt like my entire throat and stomach was being coated in thick grease and it was making me feel nauseated. The greases & oils made my stomach even more upset as the night progressed. The rice has been like this every time I come here for the past 4 times and I come back hoping that its better & not like last time only to be disappointed in the same manner once again. Last time I even waited for around 3 weeks hoping that the quality would be different, thinking that maybe it was just a new cook who didn't know what they were doing (because Imperial Palace frequently goes through new cooks & employees in general it seems - besides the owner, its rare that you see the same faces more than once) and I came back after all that time just to find out that nothing has changed. In fact, the rice was even more greasy & inedible than before... I don't like to give this place a low rating, especially since I've been coming here for around 2 decades and for most of those years have had great experiences with them, but I can't deny that the food quality just isn't the same. I won't give them 1 star because their potstickers & egg rolls are still good - that and the owner is a friendly guy. read more

My chicken lo mein was greasy. The noodles seemed over boiled then fried with greasy chicken. I could not finish it. Maybe it was s one off, but difinitely not going back. The staff was nice and the place is clean thats why I gave two stars. read more

Wonderful service along with un-beatable taste and price. A local favorite whom many enjoy.

Extremely disappointing schiwan chicken. Previously served with noodle now rice.it had the strong flavor of burnt vegetable mixed with small amount water. It all just had a burnt taste. Same for the fried chicken egg rolls. Not for us. read more

I have been ordering from them for many years. They have always been kind and helpful and their food has been very good, in our experience. Today I had a vegetable chicken dish and my husband had a pork fried rice and they were very tasty. We ordered ahead and our food was ready when we got there. read more

I was really impressed. We got about 4 different dishes to share. All were cooked to perfection, with fresh veggies white meat chicken. Sauces were great. It did remind me of the kind of food you would get from a shopping mall, however it was prepared right on point that i would come back again. read more

I would give it 0 stars if I could. We got some 20 minutes ago and it was disgusting. We got the orange chicken with lomein, it wasn't even " lomein" it was just regular boiled pasta with NO sauce and NO flavor at all, didn't even have salt. It's pretty pricy to only get 6 little pieces of chicken that don't have any flavor and didn't even taste like orange. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. Never again. I was really craving Chinese food really bad but it was absolutely disgusting read more

Disgusting food. Teriyaki chicken was soupy mess of bottom grade chicken skin and fat. Mushrooms were uncooked. I'm easy to please, not picky, I've never had worse. read more

I first started coming to Imperial Palace when I was attending BWHS back in the early 90s. Since then I have always loved their Princess Shrimp and would order it without fail. Fast forward 20 some years, I am impressed that they are still operating. Perhaps it's a testament to the effectiveness of their operation as well as simple, fast, freshly made and obviously delicious food! Can't wait to come back home and visit them! read more

I currently wear an end to this location in Bellevue on July 16 and I saw the cook go ahead and have something that fell out of the pan onto an on sanitize location and then put it back into the pan and attempted to serve that to me even though I notified him of it and they did not speak English so therefore it was difficult so we requested a refund and they refused to provide is that I would not recommend anybody go there due to they have a lot of problems with cross contaminating of food that they are providing to guest read more

If i could give my experience today a negative rating i would! Service was fine but i ordered Szechuan Chicken with extra chicken. No extra chicken and what i had was NOT Szechuan chicken! It was chicken, carrots, and broccoli boiled in water! Szechuan chicken is also supposed to be spicy and it tasked just how it looked, bland and plain. By far the worst chinese dish i've ever had and definitely wont be going here again! read more

One of my favorite things to eat in my whole life is Imperial Palace. Simple, reliable, affordable. I've been eating there since I was a kid. Great for left overs. Drive through never takes too long. read more

Our food was excellent, hot and fresh. Better than some of the other Chinese places we've tried around here.

Love this place. It's a little over priced but the food is great. I recommend the lemon chicken or need and broclli.

I have never eaten here. Today, March 16, 2018, was my first time. I decided to get a combination of sweet sour chicken and beef and broccoli. This came with fried rice. I ordered 6 crab rangoon and 3 egg rolls, which did not come with the combo meal. The total was almost $17.00. This was supposed to be a meal for two, but when I got home and opened the box, I was shocked. Where was the beef and chicken? Almost the entire tray was filled with rice. I counted 5 measly pieces of small beef and 7 small pieces of chicken. The egg rolls may as well have been vegetarian because there was NO meat, although I was told there was. Even the crab rangoons were small. I pretty much wasted $17 on rice and broccoli. We ended up going out for pizza. Needless to say, I will not be going back..one and done. read more

Very rude woman at order station! Food not that great to put up with that! Go to Golden Dragon'

Looks like there are some Golden Dragon employees leaving reviews. I have been going to Imperial Palace Express for about 12 years. They have my favorite type of sweet & sour sauce (red not that nasty yellow/brown stuff). My favorite is the wangs chicken which has a little kick to it. They have the best crab rangoon I have had anywhere. The food is made fresh and you can watch the cooks work. The restaurant kitchen is spotless. Just stop by sometime about 30 - 60 min before they close and watch how detailed the cleaning is. Tony the owner is very nice and I have never received rude service. Try it out. read more

With so many Chinese restaurants in Bellevue, its easy to experiment, but Imperial Palace is probably the most consistently well made chinese food in town. For the price, and the convenience, Imperial Palace beats out the competition. read more
