Imperial Chef in East Northamptonshire

I’ve been living in Thrapston for a few years now and have never been here before but… I would definitely recommend going there for some excellent Chinese, Thai, Malay cuisine’s… absolutely amazing food. 10/10

Maybe the kitchen was having a bad day but the food was horrible. I ended up throwing most of it away as I was afraid I would get food poisoning.

For the price, you get a good portion and it's pretty tasty too.

Best Chinese in the are without a doubt

Food was lovely Service was great Would definitely recommend 👌🏻

Found on the main high street. Parking available opposite, .... if you're lucky. Plenty to choose from on the menu. Lots of space inside to sit down and wait for your food. Food was done within 15 minutes. They're open late into the evening as well. This is one of the best Chinese takeaways I've used. Every time I choose a different dish, I've yet to be disappointed. I'd definitely recommend !! To note, the pictures I've added are of lemon chicken, and crispy chilli beef.

Very busy and therefore service slow but food was excellent.

Just had chicken curry &special fried rice Absolutely delicious up from London and I can honestly say the imperial chef wins hands down

Best Chinese in Thrapston! Always tasty and good value.

Good food. Only bugbear is when you telephone ahead they don't seem to put your order in until you arrive to collect. Why bother with telephone orders?

Absolutely the best Chinese takeaway around , I’ve been using for over 10yrs , great food , very friendly. Very busy place so ring to place order first and then collect. 5 star rating from me. Just fantastic

Been coming here for a few years now. Worth the drive from Oundle. Always an excellent meal.

A very nice Chinese takeaway. No seating available to eat in. 5 star rating for health standards, best to ring first and put your order in, then go and pick it up. Tasty food 😋

Tasty just a little greasy for our taste. Great service and very clean

This is the BEST place for authentic Chinese takeaway in the Midlands! You CANNOT find a better Chinese takeaway in the area. Everywhere I’ve been too in Birmingham, Coventry, Northampton etc… CANNOT compete! I ordered the old traditional Cantonese dish; Lemon Chicken and it tastes EXACTLY like it did in Hong Kong! Salt and Pepper chicken was in my highly respected books, not the best but absolutely the best in the Midlands of England! Highly recommend if you’re local. Do not go anywhere else if you want authentic Chinese food!

Best ever I had special chowmin in whole UK,

Really busy Saturday night. Have to wait almost one hour to get my food. Was first time. They have a really big menu's, many kinds of Chinese, but also English meals. Spent a bit more than £ 30, for 4 people, but enough big meals, in plastic containers. We take some rice and noodles, all was good. We will come back.

Cannot fault this place or it’s food, reasonably priced, shame they don’t deliver but worth the drive *****

Good tasty food, good reliable service.

Excellent food, couldn't fault it. Will certainly come back here next time I'm visiting the nearby area.

Adequate but not exciting. Not my first choice Chinese Takeaway. Dishes always seem too wet.

Food was disgusting. Wont be eating from here again. Salt and chilli chicken was burnt. Ribs were not nice at all. The chilli beef was like chewing Tar!

Great as always. Tried others locally and much prefer this Chinese TA.

The food is great as long as they keep the same chef working

What takeaway doesn't take cards????

My first visit here, what an excellent surprise. Friendly service, excellent food.

The first take away I will go in Thrapston. Good value for money, food served promptly and the service is second to none. The food is delicious. Just try and you won't regret.

Always served great food from here. Quick, friendly service and the food is always fresh and full of flavour.

Excellent choice and well cooked!

Great food excellent value for money

First time we ordered from here. Very nice all the food was really fresh , no reheated vegetables and very tender meat. Special fried rice had huge prawns and chicken chunks rather than shrimps. Only reason didn't get 5 stars was the peking duck was not fresh so avoid that. But every thing else was spot on.

Value for money with true Chinese or Thai flavours. I am a regular

Whenever in Thrapston we order from this Chinese takeaway. Orders are ready promptly for collection and the food is always plentiful and tasty.

Best chinese in local area for the dishes I prefer to order.

Great takeaway food. I bought a variety of different dishes and enjoyed the taste of all. I did preorder though so everything freshly cooked. Looking forward to going again.

Great food service was great really enjoyed the food

Lovely food, great service and they cook the as you want it. I recommend King Prawn Chow Mein Thai Style, Chicken Curry and Chicken Hong Kong Style. Yum!

1st meal from here this evening was very good shall definitely be going there again

I would give it 0 stars if I could. Egg fried rice had more of a mashed potato texture to it and was definitely not fresh as when I opened the container, the rice was much harder on the top than the middle of the container. It also lacked flavour. Beef and black bean sauce had no taste to it, the vegetables were overdone and the beef was beyond overcooked. Service was fast however that was purely down to the fact that the food was not freshly prepared. Would not recommend

Never had a bad meal from here, not swimming in grease.

Very nice indeed, good prices too! 😆
