1st time ordering as am staying in PI. it's a gamble ordering but was presently surprised. ribs really nice and plenty of meat, SS chicken was a bit greasier than I'm used to at home but every place does it slightly differently, same with the rice, but was really tasty and enjoyed it.

Our go to place on a Saturday night…consistently delish food that ticks all our boxes and comes out very quickly… sometimes getting through on the phone can be difficult but then I guess in high demand.

Disgusted I live opposite the restaurant I have recently suffered a stroke and explained this to the staff member who I believe is actually one of the owners I asked if they could possibly drop it over to me and I didn't mind if it was when they leave, yet they still wanted me to pay a delivery fee, they should be ashamed

I have used this takeout for quite a few years and over the past whole food quality is poor. The food is like warm and it’s hit and miss if it’s any good. I have always had salt and chilli prawns as of late they are over cooked and hard. I am very disappointed with food.

Ordered from The Imperial for the first time tonight. I’m in Southchurch but this was delivered from Westcliff. Don’t think I’ll now bother ordering again from any of the 4 Chinese restaurants local to me in the Southchurch Road. This was authentic, tasty, fresh, well-cooked food nearest to my recollection of the Wong Kei in Chinatown. The service was friendly and excellent too, with a lovely smiley lady delivering. I’m not going to order Chinese food now from anywhere else.

Thank you for all the excellent food, always friendly welcome and lovely atmosphere.
