Very disappointed, food is usually really good. However, this time everything was, just not nice. Chicken chow mein tasteless and watery. Sweet and sour ribs far too sweet and dry. Crispy beef far too sweet. Crispy seaweed again, far too sweet and covered with sugar. Imperial must have shares in Tate and Lyle. Won't be ordering again.

Amazing food and service! Really well go back, but did find it a little small inside to sit down, as I'm a big lad, and my wife and I like to eat a lot... Highly recommend the takeaway 👌

Had a table booked for 9 for a double birthday celebration. First they seemed to be annoyed when we wanted some more starters and gave my partner attitude, then they seemed to wait at the end of our table talking their own language and I’m guessing by the body language it was about our table. The food was so salty, I’m guessing this is because they want you to buy more drinks. At one point they knocked one of our party,s head with a platter. When 2 people wanted the same dish they demanded we share ( ummm no ) and lastly the price 😳 it’s gone from £16.99 per head all you can eat to £27.99 a head… I mean what the hell are you guys doing. They used to be great but now it’s just an expensive let down.

Will not go anywhere else for our Chinese now. Deliciously tasty food every single time. If you eat in you get the atmosphere and unlimited food straight from the wok, and a takeaway is just as good!

Gluten free no problem. Ordered a takeaway for delivery to a camp site a few miles away, no problems at all. Food was hot when it arrived and very tasty. Delivery driver polite and friendly called me when she was at the campsite entrance. Great meal thank you

Went for a birthday 7 adults 3 children and 1 baby.Ordered starters and 2 sharing platters but they did not bring the other starters out until the platters were eaten it was like they were dictating what we could eat.Staff were rude to a point of being ignorant.The duck was swimming in stale oil when it should be dry for pancakes.I had a bad stomach all night after eating at this place and suggest a food and hygiene check by the local council.

I’ve been eating Chinese food for years now, 20 years, so I’ve tried many different Chinese Restaurants, some brilliant, some OK, but never a restaurant where ginger is not crushed in the recipe. That’s ok, you can still enjoy the food, but the employees are rude. I don’t really care if they have All You can eat for £23, I can eat 2 mixed grill for that price at Wetherspoon at it would be 100 times better.

I'm sorry to say this but I disagree with every bad review .. we love our food and we like good food . We stuck to the best food in ashford and lat week because imperial was over 2 hours wait we went to kam kams and honest read my review .. it was hell. Imperial is the best Chinese in ashford hands down .. don't let anyone tell you different .. tasty .. good choice always before delivery estimation. Sorry for cheating on you imperial .. won't happen again

We used Imperial China for a takeaway last Saturday evening and it was fab. Booked over the phone at lunchtime as was a little worried being Chinese New Year and knew it would be busy in the evening, got through straightaway and ordered for 6.30pm that evening. Very helpful young Lady who took our telephone order and can say it arrived on time , steaming hot and food very very tasty, would definitely use them again for takeaways and will also visit the restaurant.

Absolutely rubbish service, no customer service, sent my delivery to the wrong address even though we have ordered here for the last 5 years, then informed me that I would have to go and get the food from the restaurant or wait another 45 minutes for delivery. Another 15 minute phone call go get a refund! AVOID!

I have always had the most amazing food from here we recommend it to many of our friends. I have never ordered a takeaway from here but decided we would go all out being NYE As we normally order from somewhere slightly cheaper. I understand it must have been extremely busy for them and it arrived in time having pre ordered, however it really wasn't all that very stingy portions I would say some dishes the containers wasnt even half way full, it tasted ok but definitely not the amazing flavours I have experienced from there before.

Great Chinese, all you can eat at a reasonable price. Friendly people, loads of options and you order as you go rather than buffet. Food was PIPING hot and fresh. We had the mixed starter, satay prawn, crispy duck, ginger and spring onion prawns, Chinese roast pork and vermicelli Singapore noodles. It was lovely. You would pay a lot more if ordering single dishes.

Oh dear …. Not quite sure if there is much positive stuff to say about this place 🤔 …? firstly the ‘positives’ 1. The staff are lovely - very friendly and helpful 2. The food is served quickly! Next … the not so positives 1. The food is pretty dire 2. The food is cold and greasy 3. The food is way overcooked 4. The food has no taste First impressions of the restaurant - it’s like a greasy spoon motorway cafe - tables and chairs crammed into very small space. The food was awful - sorry but it is truly inedible - we definitely won’t ever eat here again

Probably the worst chinese food I have ever eaten. That is in 40 years of regularly enjoying some of the best. We ordered a range of starters, virtually none of it was edible. The butterfly prawns were twice, maybe three times cooked. Thought it might get better with the aromatic duck and lamb. Unfortunately not. It was so dry much of it could not be eaten without the risk of breaking teeth. This is the first time I have ever had to leave some. My favourite dish totally destroyed. By this point we gave up. Paid and left. I wasn't going to risk my stomach on anything else. I do not understand the 4 and 5 stars. Unless things are different in Ashford? Will not be returning, anytime ever The one star was for the staff who were polite.

Service was okay. There to do their hours and go home. Can't complain. However. The food was so damned bland. Everything- and I mean everything- was watered down to the point of almost no flavour. Honestly, the 5 star reviews for this place baffle me. Either they have changed their cooking ways and have added loads of water to their sauces only recently to stretch out their portions; or people leaving reviews haven't tried much different chinese restaurants if they think this place is good... honestly so disappointed, what a waste of money. If you want to fill a gap for all you can eat, go for it. If you actually want to enjoy your food- dont bother. The only decent thing there was the duck- because it wasnt drenched in watery sauce.

Lovely Chinese restaurant in Ashford. All you can eat for just under £25 a head. The waitress was a little unimpressed when we wanted to order more dishes from the starter menu.. There were 3 menus to graze through, and the food was of good quality, very tasty. Will definitely visit again for a good value and good quality feast! You can not take any leftovers away with you, and sometimes, the waiters seemed a little grumpy.

Set lunch menu with two large drinks at less than £40, reasonable value. Mixed cheap starters, Hoi Sin Duck and followed by Fried Rice with three main dishes. Quality was reasonable, although portion size and amount of meat/prawn in the mains was obviously indicating they were made to a low price, but excellent value for the money nevertheless. Service was polite and fast, we were the first customers as we arrived early, but soon 6/7 other tables were filled, mainly by ethnic Chinese, which is always a good sign of quality.

The prawn balls and grilled dumplings were very over cooked, in fact borderline burnt. The food came quickly which was good but very disappointed with the standard.

Such a shame this place has gone so badly downhill as it used to be amazing, good value for money and tasty food. But like all greedy business owners the prices have gone up and quality down. The staff are rude and look at you with attitude when you ask for chopsticks or a drink. The squid was inedible and disgusting..chopped up into tiny pieces and incinerated and the rest of the food was bland,greasy and overcooked. Waste of money, won't be going back.

I ordered a meal that cost over £35 to be delivered and was very disapointed.1)It was late and 2) It was stone cold,so i had to reheat.The food was not very nice as it usually is and had to wait an hour and half for my food even though i ordered it before 5.30pm.This is the second time ive been dissapointed with Ga Wah which is a shame cause they were brilliant.I wont be ordering from them again.

Always a reliable meal delivered on time to your door. Have never had a bad meal in years of being a customer. Great taste and portion size .... highly recommended but we ordered sweet and sour pork balls for the first time. These were terrible - hard and very chewy , we left them all, they should never have been served in this state. Totally inedible. The “pork”was grey, hard and could have been any meat !!, never again.

Bought salted and chilli battered king prawns, 6/6/24 Very nice and yummy. Maybe could have a bit of iceberg lettuce as base with a bit of the prawn fried oil. Came back and bought the same dish x2 on Sunday 9th June! This time, the price is £14.50. Still very, very yummy. Whole family love it!! Psssttt. Google do not seem to let me do a second review for a second purchase!
