Imperial Chinese Cuisine in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

If we could have given 0 we would have. Absolutely disgusting. The chicken balls were so overcooked they were inedible. We returned them and the very dirty and hysterical man finally gave a refund. That is because the food was not fit for human consumption. We kept 2 back and shall be going to environmental health tomorrow with the food we retained and asking for an immediate investigation of all food on the premises. Absolutely disgusting. AVOID. I should just add that I and others have noticed the number of times when they accept an order and do not run it through the till. A common practice according to a part time member of their staff. Accordingly I have asked HM Customs and Excuse to launch an investigation into the conduct of these people.

If we could give a 0 we would. Ordered chicken balls. Absolutely disgusting. We went back and told the grubby dirty little man that we would not pay. We waited and refund finally give. Just 2 questions. Do you really believe that what we were served was even edible?. Secondly have you had a wash this year because it certainly looked and smelt as though you have not. Place should be fumigated before it is closed down. Tomorrow we visit environmental health. Absolutely disgusting.

Below average takeaway, salt and chilli chicken was so dry and chips were also dry and tasteless, would not return

Average “chinese” food. Some dishes were better than other ones. If you’re around and you’re craving some chinese this place is for you but don’t expect anything special. We ordered in for takeaway. Cards are not accepted in the shop although you can make quick bank transfer. A little dodgy but, hey, everyone is trying to protect their business from greedy taxman. Well done. We will probably pop in again while in Tetbury. Ps We were farting 2 days like crazy after this meal 😅

Good food, just got to thicken the sauce a bit.

Since moving to the area about 4 years ago, we’ve regularly used Imperial Chinese. We’ve sampled a broad variety of dishes and everything we’ve tried has been very well prepared, with flavoursome meat and fresh-tasting vegetables. The service has also been very consistent, with no mistakes for any of the orders made by telephone.

First time eating here. I have bbq ribs and they were 10/10 the curry was the best iv had in a long time! Chow mein was very tasty.. so happy to finally have found a good Chinese. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing! We have been going there for 8 years now and have never been disappointed. Food is fantastic. All meat is lean and there is plenty of it in all dishes. Prices are very good too. Food is hot when collected.

10/10 food and 10/10 service. Best Chinese around!!

Best Chinese takeaway in the area!

Absolutely delicious barbecue spare ribs pancake roll and chips 😋😋

Wish I'd known this delightful takeaway existed! Bought our dinner here and thought how delicious it was! We used to have to travel to Royal Wootton Bassett to get a decent Chinese Takeaway - but now we will drive to Tetbury which is nearer!

Great food and quick service and great staff and its so nice to have a great local chinese takeaway.🙂

Delicious Chinese food! Always cooked fresh and never had a bad meal. Thoroughly recommend. Yum! :)

Always have a great meal from here

We had an order for four people and all of us really enjoyed our meal. The beef in black bean sauce is the best I have had.

Sadly two very bland watery dishes..... good tofu texture but absolutely no flavour to either of my orders. No hint of seasoning ginger/garlic. Very disappointed (Mushroom Chop Suey £6.30 and Beancurd with Bamboo shoots and Chinese Mushrooms £6.00) Everything was very soft and soggy I've only ever known bamboo shoots to have a bit of bight and for £12.30 I sadly won't be returning any time soon 😢

Was pleasantly surprised by the service and food provided. Was genuinely one of the best Chinese takeaways I’ve had in a long time.

Great food and friendly service. Was really pleased with how the food turned out and has been the nicest Chinese takeaway that I’ve had in a long time.

Delicious food and service with a smile. Really enjoyed our meal thanks 😊

Sweet and sour ribs and chicken satay to die for the chow mein a little bland but other than that it’s great

I went there last night and am going back today! We don’t eat meat so tried two of the tofu options. Really good, especially the satay. Both the sauce and tofu had a nice texture. Spring rolls were good too - should have ordered double. Fairly new to the area and chose this place as it has tofu, some of the ones closer only have mixed vegetables which is a bit boring. Thank you!

My first visit to the Imperial Chinese restaurant in Tetbury was pleasant. The food seemed fresh and cooked to order. The second visit, however, was very different. The crispy seaweed was undercooked and utterly inedible to start with, and then we found a long black hair, definitely not ours. Not the worst thing to happen so we continued eating. Then my partner chewed on a large chunk of duck bone in our vegetable chow mein (we don't eat meat) as I found another large black hair. This justified returning our food to the restaurant. We were met by an angry man who I believe to be the owner/chef. He did not care about what we'd just experienced at all and when told about the duck bone almost breaking my partner's tooth he shouted "Well go to the dentist then!" I understand that this is a family business and I'd usually refrain from making a fuss under those circumstances but having £7 angrily thrust at us (barely a quarter of the cost of the meal) is not an acceptable recompense for the shortfalling and sign of sheer lack of caution when preparing food. 10/10 would not recommend

Sadly disappointing. First tried this take away 12 years ago and it was inedible and so made the mistake of thinking it may have improved - it hasn't. I wouldn't give it a star but you have to!

It's alot better, happy to buy from their.

A below average Chinese which benefits from no competition. Noodles were good, other meals were very stodgy.

This place benefits from being the only Chinese Takeaway in the village so is expensive, small portions and meals are just mediocre. The meals don't include rice / or chips either like they do where I'm from - up north! The interior is also in dire need of a refurb and tidy up.

Very disappointed! I have just arrived home and when to start eating, surprise…. I have ordered chow mien with chicken,but there was not even a tiny piece of chicken at all! Besides, the noodles were smoked and burnt! I do not recommend and obviously I will never ever try it again!

Great food, very reasonable price and the owners were lovely people. It's a cash only takeaway.

Great local Chinese food. Always lovely service.

Second time round and again enjoyed the food

By far the best Chinese takeaway near to Stroud. Not your everyday greasy tasteless slop you get from other chinese takeaways in the Gloucestershire area!

This place can't even make noodles, you can do better and making them yourself at home; why waste the money. The spring rolls(mini) did not have any filling, when I called and spoke with the manager/owner, he told me, " well I don't make them fresh, I buy them deep freeze from a wholesaler. The fried rice was fluffy, overcooked with no chinese flavor at all. I called the takeaway and I asked for a refund, he told me if I ate some of the food I could not return it. We dump the food in the bin and lost £21

Great food - It's a shame they do not deliver and only take cash. They would get loads more business

Great food reasonable price ,will return again and again .

Amazing meal, well beyond other Chinese takeaway weve had over the years.

Wonderful food! Very punctual!!

Fantastic! The food is amazing here. I always come here for a Chinese takeaway when I come home from University.

Excellent place for vegans. Tofu fresh and delicious. Recommend salt and pepper tofu and mapo vegan version and of course the wonderful vegetarian large pancake rolls

Everything I ordered was delicious.

Love there spring rolls would highly recommend this place .

Excellent food and friendly staff

Tasty food and pleasant service

Good food but ALWAYS add 15/20 mins atleast onto the time they give you for it to be ready

Food wasn't too bad, price was very reasonable. Quick turnaround time.

Esta noche, para pedir una comida para llevar con un amigo a mitad de camino, la señora que estaba detrás del mostrador con cabello rosado recibió una llamada telefónica y ordenó a otra persona, aunque estaba a mitad de camino para tomar la mía. Ella se bajó del teléfono y le dije: "¡No telefoneé porque pensé que obtendría un mejor servicio si entrara! ”, Ella ni siquiera respondió o se disculpó.

The food was tasty with nice flavours, but not greasy. Veg dishes tasted fresh, but rice a bit sticky. Would definitely recommend. (It's a take-away, no seating.)

Since it's been taken over, it has saved me from driving miles to get a decent Chinese meal. Consistently good.

Love a Chinese takeaway and we weren’t disappointed by this one! Beef with black bean was a winner and mixed balls with sweet and sour sauce were best for a while! If you in and around this area go nowhere else for your Chinese :)

It's alright, can't pay by card though

Usually go to the local chinese but the twenty mile round trip was more than worth it.

Food served fresh, wasn’t kept warming. Friendly staff. So delicious. This was my first visit and hadn’t got one of their menus so wasn’t aware it was cash only. Not a problem

A good no frills chinese. Had crispy shredded chilli beef, szechuan pork, mixed sweet and sour balls, egg fried rice. All very tasry. Stayed hot on 10 minute drive home

This is probably one the best Chinese takeaway places i have been to. I go for the Singapore rice noodles and spring rolls almost every time, and love going back for more. The food is really tasty, and doesn't taste as oily as so many other Chinese restaurants i have been to.

It is exactly what it looks like, a provincial town chinese takeaway. Run by lovely people who are always pleasant to deal with, the food arrives as quickly as you might hope and it good quality chinese/english takeaway. Its a guilty pleasure for us.

I stopped near by and thought "why not try these people" So glad I did, that I went twice! Really nice food! Monday was quite and they was very quick doing our food. Sweet and sour chicken balls 9/10 Kung Po chicken 9/10 Thai curry with veg 9.5/10 Egg fried rice 9/10 Next time we changed the Kung Po for honey and black pepper chicken, hubby said "wish they had this at my local Chinese" 10/10!

Felt very ill after eating here

Excellent food and service as always, even had 2 free cans of coke thrown in, would recomend this takeaway for any size party as food is always ready on time and still hot even after a 6 mile drive home

Fantastic food from Paul and lilly who took over recently, good range of food on the menu ,super phone staff,especially the young lady,I really recommend this take away chinese.

I often stay in Tetbudy and I enjoy ordering a take away from this Chinese to seek for a relaxing evening in my room in front of a TV with my Chinese take away. Like many other Chinese take aways, they offer a wide range of European oriented Chinese food and they are reasonably priced, in comparison to the pub food from the local hotels. If you fancy a quick bite to eat, I recomment to go there. Quick service.

Waiting was good,food was very good and worth it.

We have eaten in and had takeaways from this restaurant when visiting family in Tetbury. The service has been consistently good. Our latest takeaway didn't disappoint - tasty, freshly prepared and quite large portions - all reasonably priced. We enjoyed our meal so will be using it again.

Excellent food and service. We visited Tetbury on Saturday 22.10.16 to attend my son's wedding, which was taking place on the Sunday. Thirty-three family members joined us, so I decided to treat them to the largest chinese meal they had ever seen. Having contacted the restaurant during the previous week to check if my plans were feasible, we arranged to place a large order, giving the restaurant five hours notice. The service we had from all the staff was excellent. The food was available at exactly the pre-arranged time and was found to be of a high standard. Everyone made comment about how tasty and enjoyable the meal was and I would have no hesitation about recommending this restaurant. I will definitely use it if I am staying in the area again. The staff were extremely friendly and very professional.

Wonderful food and service, these guys are the business and I love them. Prawn crackers to die for and the spare ribs taste like the ones I have in the best Chinese in London . The main man was called Lee and despite his bad cold he was super super . As Lee would say " you want best, you shop the best, you know want then you not get" wise words indeed

My name is Delavega I like Chinese cuisine, it's morbid when you're eating it, Chinese cuisine is very good

El Imperial es un bog para llevar chino estándar; nada diferente a lo que encontraría en su promedio de pequeña ciudad. Lo que me gusta el Imperial es que es sólo eso.. estándar. A diferencia de la mayoría de los otros restaurantes en Tetbury no es pretencioso. Es lo que es y la comida es muy, muy bueno. No gusta cocinar después del trabajo acabado y decidimos coger una toma de distancia de el Imperial. No te molestes en llamar a mi orden en, elegir en vez de decidir cuando llegué allí. Pedí un curry de gambas, pidiendo que se hizo más caliente de lo normal, y huevo frito con arroz. En poco tiempo tuve mi comida y estaba en mi camino de vuelta a casa. Las raciones eran bastante grandes y fue una comida muy sabrosa. Yo recomendaría este para llevar y volveré. El menú es muy amplio.

El chino ofrece una buena selección en el menú y los precios son razonables. La comida puede ser inconsistente (satay puede ser estaban aguados/gruesas a veces o en algún lugar en el centro. La miel y la salsa de pimienta platos negras son una agradable variación. En general, no dejará pasmado, pero si lo que quieres es un restaurante chino y no quieres viajar muy lejos está "bien".

We use the Tetbury Chinese Takeaway probably once a fortnight when we just fancy something easy when we've had a long day. It's good. Over the years this takeaway has had it's ups and downs but the present proprietors are doing a great job. Thank you. You'll not know 'til you try it.

Fast service, nice food and reasonable cost.Best if phone through and pickup at agreed time + 5mins.We return again and again as it's pretty solid.If this place delivered we would order every week!

Excellent food marred by slow service. I think they could do with some more staff. The beef and green peppers in black bean sauce was really excellent.

After some of the reviews we were slightly reluctant but decided to give it a try! actually pretty good food, stuck to the basics of special fried rice, roast pork chow mein, chips and sweet and sour sauce. the only issue was the chips were undercooked, everything else was lovely - would definitely order again

As a Tetbury local I tend to go to this place quite often. I tend to stick to what I know. I have to say the sweet and sour chicken is good, so is the chicken fried rice. I did make the mistake of ordering chicken chow mein once and I wouldn't do that again. Very greasy and not overly hot. It's not the best Chinese, but having said that it's better than the one in the next town over! They don't accept card still which is a real pain but they do get your order ready quickly.

Me and my partner regularly order from the Chinese, the chicken balls and special fried rice is delicious! I'd say it's a pretty good takeaway overall!

Had a takeaway on the 5th may. Order 10 mins late. My wife had chicken fu yung. It was a horrible grey colour and very dry. Noodles where greasy and cold. My chicken curry was like a black sauce and fried rice was sticky and unappetising. Won't be returning !!

OK chinese - only one in town that we could find. Long wait but food OK when it eventually came. Prices about average.

The food is not very good compared with local compition. Payment by cash only. Has changed hands but not a great improvement

Good Chinese food, far better quality than the next nearest in Malmesbury. Mixed hor dourves give best bang for your buck, Crispy chilli beef is excellent.

Great food good price. Only place in tetbury open at 11
