The only downside is parking can be difficult to find, especially during busy hours. I usually call ahead and place my order, then quickly stop by to pick it up. It saves a lot of time and makes the whole experience much easier. Overall, if you're craving quick, tasty Asian food in downtown Norfolk, this is definitely a place I'd come back to!

That was reassuring, busy is usual a good sign that the food is good. The location is great, close to the beach. The food was nicely packaged in sturdy containers and not styrofoam! We ordered orange chicken and broccoli beef. Both were tasty and fresh! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

It is one of those things where one place might have great fried rice, one has great egg rolls, and another has great lo mein. Overall the food was good as I went with the General Tsos combo that comes with regular fried rice but for a small upcharge if you want to change the rice to pork or shrimp. To me it is still unusual as I thought ham fried rice was just a normal thing that comes with a dinner combo along with an egg roll. Not anymore. I ordered an eggroll (2 per order) to go with the meal along with a teriyaki stick. The teriyaki stick (you get 2 per order) was pretty good and not dried out to the point where it could pass for jerky. The chicken in the dinner was good and not overly breaded. It was supposedly spicy but trust me anyone could handle this spice. Good spot to quench your hankering for some American Chinese food. Parking can be a bit iffy with a few spaces in the front on the street shared with other restaurants but the same holds true for the spaces behind the building.

On our way to Norfolk International Airport, we decided we wanted Chinese food, so we looked for…read moreplaces that had sit-down dinning options, not just fast takeout. The Imperial Palace was the perfect choice! The place was beautifully decorated and inviting, we loved the art and very authentic feel of it. Fell in love with the beautiful lamp in the main dining room! The staff were friendly and super responsive and helpful. Su took great care of us, explaining menu options and sharing with us that the restaurant has been there for thirty years and she has worked there for 20 of them. It had the feel of a great neighborhood restaurant! I had wonton soup and pork chow main. Everything tasted delicious with that great balance of fresh crunchy vegetables and flavorful ingredients customary of good Chinese food. Incredibly generous portions meant great left overs for tomorrow. We will definitely be back!

Overall I would say not the best experience. First, the food was more of a take out Chinese style,…read morebut then was very pricey for what it is worth. We wanted to get the egg rolls as I was craving it, but they said they do not have it despite being on the menu. That was a little disappointing. I got the 6 steamed dumpling, and when my husband chewed down there was bone chunks in the dumpling. We got the sesame chicken which mostly tasted like orange chicken with a little more soy sauce and a little less orange. It was tasty, but again the price for what it was did not match. The honey roasted duck was tasty with a savory thick sauce to dip. We got white rice with our dishes. My husband asked for chopsticks, and there were none which was surprising. The fortune cookie at the end was stale, and my fortune was kind of a hilarious demand to be vegetarian/vegan. The service was decent. The ambiance lighting was very red in color, making it feel dark on the inside. It is awkwardly quiet with loud clinking. One of the light fixtures was broken. Overall, food was just okay, and the pricing did not feel appropriate for what was served.

They sell different Chinese dishes, appetizers, combos, and etc. They have lunch specials also. I got the sweet n sour chicken combo with pork fried rice, a shrimp egg roll, shrimp lo mein , and crab Rangoon. The sweet n sour chicken was ok but it could have been more plentiful. The shrimp egg roll had 1 teeny tiny shrimp playing peek a boo with me, the rest was all cabbage. I enjoyed the crab rangoon. I like that it was a little sweet, it comes with 6 and a dipping sauce. The lo mein was ok, but I wasn't thrilled with the shrimp, but the noodles were good. A few of the shrimp were very fishy. The owner gave us a free tea with our purchase. That was a nice gesture. They're located off Princess Anne in a shopping center across from TCC. Check them out!

We enjoyed the Vietnamese Egg Rolls which were served with a mildly sweet fish sauce, good for dipping. The beef pho with lean round steak (tai) came with a more generous serving of meat than I get at other Vietnamese restaurants. The pho also came with an ample supply of mung bean sprouts and fresh basil, as well as the usual jalapeño pepper slices and lime wedges. The vermicelli noodle bowl was also a large serving and attractively plated, although a good portion of the bowl was composed of the egg roll sections (which were not mentioned for that dish on the menu). The dish needed more seasoning; the sliced chicken was very dry and a little tough. The ambience is relaxed, casual, and very clean.

I am on a search for the BEST Bahn Mi. HOWEVER, the nice owner informed me that he no longer sells them. Get this...at the request of another Vietnamese restaurant within 1 mile of Vietnam 81. He politely directed me to THE OTHER VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT! APPARENTLY, the other restaurants were in the area prior to VIETNAM 81 and did not want the competition, and he obliged. With that, I asked him to suggest a meal for me, and so he did. I can not remember the name of this noodle dish, but it was scrumptious and delicious! Service was not too long to wait as a good meal does take time. I sat and enjoyed a glass of cold ice water. The ambiance of the restaurant is nothing to fancy, clean tables clean condiments bottles and plants adorn the window. #SEE YOU TOMORROW#!! When my meal arrived, it was a feast for the eyes, as I couldn't wait to dig in. Frash grilled marinated chicken sliced, cut cucumbers carrots, and fried rolls that are also in the menu. With rice vinegar to top off. I was offered Sriracha to top off my meal. The simple act of kindness from this gentleman will take me back when I am in the area again.

I've been going to Golden City since I moved to the area and they have been nothing but nice, hardworking people that make great Chinese food at an affordable price. Usually I call in my order and it is ready by the time I get there. Their dinner combos are the best: Main entree with pork fried rice and an egg roll for roughly $7. I'm obsessed with their boneless spare ribs cause the sauce the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Their portion sizes are great and they even come in a plastic container that I like to reuse for meal prepping! I'll always come back to support their business!
