Imperial chinese restaurant and take away in Southend-on-Sea

Excellent quality food was still hot and very tasty

Great - hot, fresh and on time no complaints!

Excellent taste and quality. Thanks

My favourite Chinese takeaway. I’ve been a customer for over 30 years

Delivered on schedule despite a busy night, and the food was as good as ever.

Plenty of good food to choose from. Very tasty. Timely delivery.

Food was hot and everything I ordered was good.

Delicious food as always - we won’t go to any other Chinese takeaway! Just super tasty

Great food served quickly, ideal for a takeaway

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.

It's alright to charge a bit high but you need at least give a decent portion/serving

Lovely food keep the good work up

I personally think this is the Best Chinese in Westcliff! I’ve tried them all in the area and this is my go to! House special extra hot with salt and pepper chicken! 🤘

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.

This is my regular, great Chinese. Please put the fish floss on top of the seaweed!

Lovely food but we ordered special chow mein and got special rice instead but really nice 👍

great food and delivery was dead on the time I ordered it to arrive. would definitely order again.

Best Chinese in area.. Food is amazing.. Always fresh and never have to wait long.. Would definitely recommend

Food was delicious and piping hot when arrived. Will definitely order from them again!

As always, the food was delicious , the best Chinese in the area.

Had a take away from here and it was very good

Very quick delivery perfect food 👌 perfect service am over the moon with absolutely everything am one happy customer would definitely recommend 👌😀

Finally found the one! What a great takeaway. Perfect sized portions and everything had its own distinctive taste and flavour. This will be our go to Chinese from now on.

very expensive and completely rubbish would not order again.

One of the best Chinese take aways ....

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

Fantastic food thank you very much x

Gone down hill for us probably due to cut backs just wasn't as nice

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.

The portions were small, but the food was lovely

Great food as always, every time …👍🏻

The food was absolutely delicious! and arrived in time, and piping hot. We're visiting Southend and decided to take a chance and order a takeaway from them. no regrets, whatsoever! Will definitely order again when we next visit.

Best Chinese we’ve had in years food was great and on time too will def be ordering again

been using Imperial since it was a sit in restaurant 1988 always top quality

Delicious. Nicest my whole family have tried

Food was delicious, and delivered on time.

Beef was tough and the whole order was tepid and not nice at all. Total waste of money. Went into bin!

Best place for Chinese in Southend

Smooth Delivery, very satisfied

Best Chinese around! Always made fresh, so everything is piping hot, crunchy veg and not greasy at all.

Still the best chinese takeaway in the area

Would have expected sweet and sour chicken to be just chicken with vegetables not a battered fillet in sauce that’s my only feedback

Tasty and hot. Fresh, nice quality.

Amazing food as always! Lovely and fresh! We never go anywhere else for Chinese!! Best in Southend!

The food is always very good and of a high quality

perfect food with good portions.

Great quality, best we’ve had in the area so far.

Amazing Chinese food, highly recommended and always delivered on time.

Easy to order. Food came within stated timescale and was hot and delicious.

My order was on time, freshly cooked and Perfect!

Amazing food! Best Chinese in the area!

First time ordering from Imperial and was very impressed. The food was delivered hot and fresh and was really delicious.

Using them for years. Nice people and food always fresh and tasty

Piping hot and delicious ….. very impressed

Tasty Chinese food. Friendly, top notch service. I ordered the lo mein with roasted duck. Have been here twice and would go again.

I don’t know who your chefs are but they need a pay rise, that was absolutely delicious, thank you so much

I’m not one to write reviews at all. I have been coming to imperial for years now and their customer service and food quality is always excellent. The lady at the counter is so lovely and helpful. Thanks

The best service by far. This restaurant never disappointed me, delivery or pick, the best food, best service. I’m amazed.

Nice clean tasting food. We really enjoyed this order. Thanks folks.

The food was delicious and the delivery driver very friendly.

Mini spring rolls amazing! Soft inside. Food tastes amazing, chilli n salt chicken spot on. Thank you

Food great as usual. Was still hot and delivered promptly. Thank you 😊

Small portions and bland. Hardly any spice. Disappointing.

Food was cold and the portions are tiny….

Not very nice won't order again

Great food with early delivery

One of the Best Chinese take aways in Westcliff on sea ...

Absolutely amazing . Lovely quality.worth every penny

Great tasting food, the Barbecue spare ribs were amazing.

The food was really nice but the portions could have been better for the price we paid. Hopefully they will read this and change it and I will deff be a returning customer

very very poor meal and for 70 quid not worth that, food was cold and chips so so dry hard to digest, foods not all that and from reviews you would think it would of been a good meal very disappointed wont be ordering again

Best Chinese takeaway I've had since returning from Hong Kong.

Absolutely lovely meal. delivered on time and packed well with no leaks. Very amicable delivery person. Thank you.

Spare ribs over cooked, chicken chow mein very bland chicken not too fresh.

Amazing food and i love my dish so much and the kind lady allow me to take my bike inside for safety.

One of the worst Chineses I've ever eaten.

A good selection of dishes on the menu. Food was presented well and very tasty.

Chicken balls, spring rolls and curry dumplings over cooked . Such a shame, food has always been excellent .

Delicious imperial sweet and sour chicken and crispy beef so crispy and saucy. Amazing!

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.

Always good food never disappointed

Friendly and punctual delivery. Thank you

The only part of the food that wasn't good was the special fried rice. It literally smelt & tasted like burnt rubber, so unfortunately i had to throw it away. The rest of the food was perfect, though. Very tasty, still hot when it arrived.

Wow! As always never disappointed with this takeaway

Lovely food and very fast delivery on a busy night!

Super fresh food ! Really happy would order again!

Food is usually cold and juice spilt in the bottom of the bag.

This is the best chinese food, so flavoursome, it never disappoints!

got from here a couple times before but this time wasn't up to the same standard the szechuan beef sauce was very watery and not spicy and the Ginger and spring onion pork was made with beef

The food from Imperial is always excellent, and the staff polite and professional, you can't beat them. The prices are a little high, but you're paying for quality. There are cheaper restaurants but you get what you pay for. I'd never go elsewhere.

Probably the best Chinese I’ve had in a while

Always fantastic food from this establishment, well done imperial

First time ordering, we found the chicken chow mien lacked any taste and we have had vastly better udon noodles from other takeaways. Unfortunately we will not rrturn

The satay fried rice was amazing and delicious and we enjoyed our meal.

We really enjoyed our takeaway the food was hot, tasty and arrived early. The delivery driver was polite and professional

Best Chinese by far! Amazing food and a lovely, kind driver :)

Delivery was quick and driver was very friendly!

Without doubt our favourite Chinese in the area. We’ve never had a bad meal from Imperial. Tried all the competitors, but they can’t be beaten!

First try and really pleased with our order. Food seemed good quality and tasted lovely. Would recommend the peking ribs.
