Very friendly and welcoming staff who ensured that we were very well looked after throughout our meal.The food was delicious and of very high quality, was piping hot and was exceptionally fresh. Good quality wines. Generally the best Chinese meal we have had in a very pong time and we will most certainly be returning and recommending to friends and family.

Managed to get an early table, but were told that it was needed again at 8pm. That would have been OK without a rush, but the wait time between some courses made us feel rushed towards the end. Not our fault, but down to slow service. Could have done with a few more staff on. Also, whilst plates came out hot, by the time the food arrived, they were cold. Likewise, food was hot on arrival, but soon cooled down. Could do with plate heaters on the tables to keep it piping hot. Chinese food and sauces do not taste good when they got cold.

We were very surprised at the superior quality of the food we were served, it was clear that lots of effort had gone into the taste and presentation. We both agreed that the Honey Ribs and Lemon Chicken were the best we have tasted in any Chinese restaurant. REALLY IMPRESSED so decided to write this review to shout about how good it was!

Good points- the dishes tasted very nice and the restaurant was very welcoming.Bad points - the service! Waited 45 minutes before the starter arrived and was over an hour and a half before the main course turned up which was warm as I guess it had been sitting in the kitchen for too long. They halved the bill which was very fair and I hope this was just a bad night for them.

We enjoyed our meal at Imperial China yesterday. We had a walk-in seating for dinner.Good selection of good tasting dishes and decent size portions. Food was well seasoned, but not too salty. It was a first time eating Chinese with our kids and they really enjoyed it.The restaurant has a food hygiene sticker showing 3 out of 5 and are kids baulked at that, but food was good so no complaints on this at all.Restaurant seems to be a little light on staff, but the staff on hard were working like busy bees dealing with tables, take out orders and collections.We would definitely visit again.

The sauce was very salty. Stir fried veg had very hard veg, I like aldente’ but not that hard.Chicken with spring onions and ginger had large hard slices of ginger, which was over powering Overall great starters, but we did not enjoy our main courses, may be just our individual taste

Friendly staff greeted us on arrival and showed us to our table which was screened off from all other tables. Ordered the 'Summer' set menu. All dishes were tasty, piping hot and well cooked. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Would certainly recommend and return whenever we're in the area again.

Visited on Saturday evening, glad we booked as it got very busy from 7pm onwards. Staff all wearing masks and gloves. Screens in place between tables. The 3 staff did a great job of looking after everyone. Food was delicious and not fatty or greasy. Drinks were quick in coming after they were ordered. Slight delay in the main course arriving but this was probably down to the fact it was so busy. Wasn’t too noisy despite the amount of people. Female waitress apologised for the bad service while we were paying due to being busy but it wasn’t necessary. Very nice meal and evening. Recommended.

We had an excellent meal which was very good value for money and which was high quality and extremely enjoyable.Unfortunately, this was let down by the service. We waited twenty five minutes for our starter, while diners who had come in significantly later than us received theirs, for which the waitress apologised. The timing of our main meal was fine, arriving about ten minutes after we finished the starter. However, on finishing our main meal, we were then left for over an hour with no drinks and with nobody coming anywhere near us to ask if we would like to order more drinks or look at the dessert menu. After just over an hour, we finally managed to get the attention of a waitress who acknowledged our signal- but disappeared again. Five minutes later, we signalled to her again. We were so fed up by this time, that although we HAD wanted to order more drinks, we decided to simply ask for the bill. When the bill arrived, the waiter who brought it again acknowledged that we had been waiting an unduly long time for service. He actually said, "Sorry for the delay for you..." We thought at this point, having been subjected to two periods of long waiting during the meal, and that having seen and acknowledged this both times, the restaurant might at least offer a couple of free coffees as a small 'sorry'. They didn't. To make matters worse, despite the fact that we were eating on a Tuesday night and we had double checked that they were part of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, they then gave us a bill which did not have the 'Eat out to Help Out' £20 taken off it. We had to request that they did this. We have eaten out at several places during the Eat Out to Help Out Scheme, and we have not had to request this. It has been taken off the bill before being presented. The waiter then altered the bill by hand, prepared the card machine, and asked us "What do you want to make it up to?" (a tip!). Needless to say, we told him to leave it as it was.Very disappointing.

Coming from London, it was refreshing to finally find a good quality Chinese meal. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean, well presented, and generally very well prepared in terms of Covid measures. Well done Imperial China!

We’ve been coming here for years and I’m afraid to say the service was poor, and the food following suit. It feels like a takeaway with tables. All the lovely touches of a good Chinese restaurant have gone. No bowls, no chop sticks, no candles to keep food warm. Our food was delivered in fits and starts, with us often having to ask. The restaurant is starting to look shabby. We’re sorry to have lost an old favourite.

Staying in Lyndhurst for my birthday I chose to have dinner here based on TripAdvisor reviews, I was certainly not disappointed! The service was excellent, lovely waiters, so speedy with drinks we were convinced they worked in a time warp, amazingly quick! Check backs, attentive and helpful throughout our meal too, great staff!Nice clean restaurant, pretty understated decorations, great selection of choices on the menu.Ok, it's not cheap, but the portions are large and the food is amazing, well worth the cost. The smoked shredded chicken starter was delicious, best we have ever had. Crispy duck was tender, tasty and good crispy bits too. So much duck in the quarter we really needed 8 pancakes not 6. Black pepper chicken was excellent, really lovely sauce and flavour. Sweet and sour prawns (I asked for added cashew nuts) was really great. Would have been nice to have more rice choices on the menu other than plain or egg fried. Chicken rice, mushroom rice etc would have been good. Shame this isn't local to us or we'd get a take away every week. Best Chinese food I have eaten outside China. Thank you for such a lovely Birthday dinner, we'll definitely be eating here again next time we're in Lyndhurst.

This restaurant has been under 3 different owners, since Gary left. five years ago. None of them have been able to produce good authentic chinese food. We went as a family, not having met up for some time. The soup was bland, the ribs tasted as though they had already been cooked and just heated through. The Char Siu chewy and tasteless, and chicken with cashew nuts had a sauce that had been smothered with five spice powder. The prices were extorionate for such small portions. Two scallops for £8 !!!! Never again. The only good thing, the staff were very friendly.

The four of us went for the set "summer" meal comprising starter platter of ribs, satay chicken, prawn toast, spring rolls and fried seaweed which were all cooked beautifully and looked lovely. This was followed by crispy duck pancakes (whole duck) that were spot on. We asked for a breather and then the mains were served up. Lemon chicken to die for, crispy chilli beef in a moulded noodle basket that was as good as it looked, stir fried veg that was crisp, colourful and tasty, light fluffy special fried rice and chicken in black bean sauce.

This is one of very few chinese restaurants in the new forest and the menu is what I would call a standard UK chinese but non the worse for that. The food is well prepared and the service was excellent fast courteous and helpful. Complimentary prawn crackers were brought whilst we chose from the menu and the waiter kept an eye on the diners, we wanted some soy sauce and this was brought quickly (no trying to attract the waiters attention for 10 minutes as can happen). Recommended but not if you are looking for a high end innovative chinese menu.

Took the whole family on Saturday night for a celebration and was not disappointed. I am no expert but the menu seems to have a lot of Szechuan style cooking, so lots of spice in many of the dishes - chilli beef, yellow bean / black bean sauces - but plenty for folks with a calmer palate as well. The food was delicious- Extensive menu, but excellent set meals. You can substitute dishes if you ask. Very friendly staff, plenty of parking in the centre of the village 2 mins walk away, set meal for 4 was £27 per head, with plenty of food without being greedy. If you feel the need to be greedy, just order something extra, but wait a bit - you may regret it! Friendly atmosphere but smart enough to go for a celebration or take special guests.

I went for a birthday lunch with my parents. The staff couldn’t have been more charming. They picked up on the fact it was my mums birthday and presented her with a chocolate mousse type of thing with sparklers and candles. These thoughtful touches make all the difference. Oh yes, the food was pretty good too.

Whilst working in the area, one night we decided to eat at Imperial China. We ate off the set menu. There was a good combination of foods covering everyones tastes. Chicken, beef and prawn dishes. Duck and pancakes was really nice and tasty. Recommended if in the area.

Visited here for my son’s birthday in February and it was the usual faultless dining experience. We have been coming here for a few years now and were very disappointed when it closed briefly a while ago. However it has now reopened much to our delight and we are making the most of visiting! The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the food is to die for! It is reasonably priced and the restaurant well laid out with all round tables and has a great ambience. We wouldn’t dine out for Chinese anywhere else. Excellent!

We visited the Imperial China restaurant in Lyndhurst on Friday night and the experience was excellent. We were going out for a rare night without our kids! The restaurant menu is extensive and they have set menu options, we went for a set menu which was a three course meal for two, saved us having to make choices and it was superb. What really added to the experience was the staff, they went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, even to the point when we were offered chopsticks and I requested some advise on how best to use them they went out of their way to teach us some skills! Thank you for making our evening out memorable!

Visited this place one Friday and have to say the food was very good. The restaurant wasn't that busy like it used to be with the previous owners but service good and the four of us enjoyed how fast hot and tasty the food was. All in all a great evening with friends. Last time we went they wanted us to pay cash which was strange but let us know upon booking so not sure if this was a one off or not.

After a walk around Lyndhurst trying to decide where to eat, we plumped for the Imperial China restaurant and we were delighted with our choice.

Busy places are often the best places to eat. Imperial China was packed last Saturday night. An excellent menu, but we went for a set meal. There was no quibble about changing one of the dishes for one of our favourites. A lovely starter platter, looking and tasting as you would expect, followed by duck etc - very generous on the duck, followed by 5 excellent main course dishes. So many Chinese restaurants serve similar food it is hard to pick one above the other, but the surroundings here are excellent, staff friendly, food delicious, parking a short walk away, and all for £25 a head plus drinks.

Visited again last Monday the food is delicious, A very warm welcome from Tony and staff my wife and I still believe this is the best Chinese restaurant in our area. We enjoy the set meals A or B because of the selection offered accompanied by a lovely bottle of wine. We are looking forward to celebrating the Chinese New year on Wednesday the 6th of February the year of the pig. I do recommend this restaurant as it is very friendly and scrumptious food.

We had a big takeaway order while in the area to celebrate a birthday. Unfortunately we tried to phone it through on a Friday evening but the phone went unanswered So called in. Was very busy which is a good testimony. However, the food took an hour to come out. It was delicious though once we got it home. Would be 5 stars without the long wait.
