Imperial Court in Wigan

Just awful waited 30mibs for starter deep fried doggy mushrooms overcooked salt n peper ribs fried rice was over cooked soggy even the coka cola was flat horrible worst chinese ever don't even go into main meals

Very small potions & expensive. The owner Should eat at the competitors and make some comparisons. I won’t be revisiting.

This was the best Chinese I have ever had 3 courses and all delicious

Terrible experience waiting well to long for my food very expensive very skinny portions and another lady had booked a table for a meal and they could not accommodate her how bad is that won't be going there ever again 😕

From start to finish. Spot on. No complaints whatsoever. Seated and served promptly. Very quick and efficient service. Opted for the set menu. No brainer. Lovely hot prawn crackers with sauce. Soup was amazing. Lovely mixed starters. Very reasonable wine. Lovely young English girl who’d only been there two weeks. Sorry didn’t get your name. She was lovely. So friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely a keeper. Main courses absolutely beautiful. This will be our new Go To. Thanks for a lovely evening

We went here for a special night out and the food was absolutely lovely hot fresh and the best Chinese we’ve had for a long time. The service was great everyone was so efficient & so very friendly. Will be back very soon. Thank you for a great night had by the 8 of us.

Didn’t go in with the highest expectation after seeing the other reviews but damn this place was awful. We’d ordered 2 portions of rice that they’d shoved into the same dish, which they didn’t explain when serving, after asking for our second portion of boiled rice we saw we’d been charged for 3 portions of rice which they didn’t disclose. The service was rude and cutlery for the next customer was placed on the table whilst still sat there which we found highly unhygienic. Will not be returning

We pre booked, only to be told 45 minutes later that our table was needed, we weren't asked if we wanted desserts or coffee. We will not return and don't recommend

We had the worst salt and pepper chicken I’ve ever had. Small portions of over cooked chicken and the curry sauce was awful. With over cooked frozen chips. Don’t bother with this restaurant.I do not recommend this place

Small venue but lovely atmosphere, great if you want something a bit more personal, and did I mention great food! (I really should go here more often).

First Visit Servicevfabulous Food fabulous Early Bird Menu Fabulous Staff Faboulous Thank you see you again Les and Lorie xx

Really enjoyed new years eve family get together. With large main course mixed platter that we all just picked our selection from.

Lovely food , can't fault anything.

We walked in with no booking & got a table for 2 straight away ,Staff were lovely,food was amazing Highly recommend & we will definitely pop in next time we are down that way .

Lovely food and service highly recommended

Ordered a takeaway for 6.30pm, wasn't ready and had to wait a further 15 minutes. I paid cash and just put the change away, I didn't check my change. Got home with my food and realised items were missing. I then checked my I realise I was £10 short. So I drove back to get my £10 and to let them know I was missing items. Didn't seem bothered about the missing items or they short changed me or the inconvenience of me driving back 15 minutes on my family was sat down eating the evening meal without me.

Out of 3 meals, only 1 enjoyable. Virtually no black bean sauce with the vegetables and very bland. Waiting time double what was given when ordered. Disappointing.

Young ladies serving us was very nice and polite elder woman was very snappy and when coming to pay she snatched the card out of my partners hand use to love it here but don't think I will b coming back Need to treat their staff better and b polite to customers

Good cafe, chairs a little too close.

Food was lovely Service was so slow. They seemed more interested in the people coming in for takeaway. Very disappointed. Young lady serving us was very nice.😔

Lovely place and friendly people, my daughter and I had a lovely time

Called mid afternoon on spec to see if a table for 2 was available. Spoke to a staff of who said they were fully booked but there was a small table near the door if we wanted it!!? Almost left but as we were hungry decided to accept the offer of the table Menus were handed over. Choices made; sweet and sour chicken with boiled rice , chicken fried rice. Very tasty food. I'd give it 4/5.

We were here for a 80th birthday celebration and it was a terrific venue. Excellent food and service. Will definitely return.

Food was pretty poor & bland I’m afraid to say. Service was slow and generally felt it was overpriced - would not recommend or return

If you want quick service, nice food and a great atmosphere I’d avoid this place unfortunately. The staff were nice but unfortunately the rest was a let down. I hate leaving a bad review but hopefully the owners read this and review what they are offering.

Food was very good, very tasty. Staff friendly. Disabled toilet/baby changing room was a storage room we had to clear out ourselves in order to change our baby boy. This included ladders, chairs, cleaning products. No chance if you where a wheelchair user.

3rd time visiting this restaurant,food is excellent and authentic. Really good special deals.

Meals reasonabley good ribs very poor not one of there good points especially for price not the cheapest next door much better good fortune.

Ive not been here for quite a few years and was surprised when I walked in as it was exactly the same decor as years ago. Booked a table in advance but there was confusion about our table in what is a tiny restaurant. It's a bit of a conveyor belt mentality where they want a big turn over on limited spaces. The food was ok but nothing great.

Picked up a takeaway for 5 people on Sunday evening. Beautiful as usual. Best Chinese restaurant and takeaway around. Staff are extremely polite and helpful.

THANK YOU! Having been newly diagnosed with coeliac, I am really anxious about takeaways, because of the high gluten content. The staff here couldn’t do enough for my husband when he explained my dietary needs. They created dishes from scratch, removing some ingredients and replacing them with gluten free ingredients and the end result was so tasty! We had a great meal and have added this restaurant to our new list of GF friendly places to eat! Thank you so much.

We had a lovely meal. Service excellent. Beer just OK.

Went with my wife and had the hot & sour soup and crispy duck. Both were excellent, very tasty and well presented. Although there was a mixup with one of the main meals, the manager resolved the matter with good grace. Really impressed by the service and food

This is our local Chinese restaurant/takeaway. Haven't ever been disappointed with the quality and choice of food here. We've recently enjoyed "The Early Bird"menue that also has excellent variety to choose from and I beleive a fair price. The welcome and service was excellent.

Fantastic place,lovely atmosphere. Very clean and delicious food Friendly staff and good value for money too. Dine in or take away too. Recommended!

Called at 4.00 booked a table for 2 for 7.00. We ordered mixed starters, 1/4 crispy duck and a couple of main courses with rice and chips. Excellent service, attentive but not overbearing. Food excellent and good sized portions. Definitely going back, might make it our new takeaway as well

Really nice Chinese restaurant in Lowton. Returned recently after some time away. The salt and pepper prawns and duck chow mein were excellent. Really tender tasty duck in the chow mein. Was a little disappointed by the minced chicken lettuce wrap starter, the chicken definitely used to be more flavoursome, it was a little bland this time around. Nevertheless will visit again for the prawns alone!

NOT family friendly. We booked table in advance for 3 and saying one was a child. But after ordering our food the waitress returned to say they didn't do child portions or have a children's menu, and then asked if that was OK! Not really but could hardly leave and find somewhere else at that point. So don't go there with children

The flavours in the food were delicious, just how you want traditional Chinese dishes to be. Will definitely be back again.

Great selection for vegetarians and gluten intolerant people

Great food. Friendly people. Room lacking in ambiance. Parking right outside. Does takeaway service. Fairly empty on weekday evenings Aug 2021.

Food and Service always fantastic nothing is ever to much trouble for the staff. I have visited this restaurant 25 + times good value especially the banquets.

Very disappointed....most dishes awful.Stale fat and greasy or recooked.Staff lovely shame about the food. Bit of a smell in the restaurant possibly the carpet ?

Brilliant night! Fab food as always and staff amazing

Food was like warm and came out in dribs and drabs so we couldn't all eat together. And it was expensive

Had a meal at this establishment and was extremely disappointed by many things. The first impression I had of this eatery was how small it was from the outside, however on the plus side plenty of free parking. Inside tables were spaced apart so in fairness it adhered to social distancing. Staff were wearing face coverings and also tried their best to keep the take-away diners outside without congregating in the small foyer. Not ideal to watch fellow diners smoking directly outside whilst your having your meal, very off-putting and should be addressed. The restaurant lacked ambiance, the tables and seating were of a poor standard, the food was just bland and tasteless - the garlic mushrooms were absolutely hideous, the tom yum soup was tasteless, although the singapore special fried rice in fairness was edible and plentify it just needed some more flavours, had to make do with soy sauce. The presentation of the food when served was mediocre. The place did not look particularly clean, first impression on cleanliness was just average, the crockery had seen better days but again in fairness it was getting cleaned by the waitresses regularly. The annoying thing on the night was the intermittent flickering fluorescent lighting in the corridor, this needs to be changed it was distracting. I felt it was a basic restaurant, more suited to quick takeaway fast food not the sophisticated chinese restaurant I was expecting thats for sure. Would definitely not be recommending but this is just my own personal opinion to which I am entitled. Prices were in par with other establishments in fairness.

This was probably the nicest Chinese food I’ve ever had. Everything tasted fresh and it wasn’t overly seasoned or greasy like most Chinese food is. I would highly recommend!

Visited for the first time tonight. Staff were so friendly and attentive. Food was fantastic and plenty of it. Highly recommended

Came in to celebrate a birthday with my family at 8pm on Sunday 15th. Although quite we were not in any way feeling unwelcome or unwanted by the staff, they were exceptional. Attentive and friendly and go above and beyond for your needs. Great food and served in good time! All in all we had an excellent visit, thank you very much!

Lovely meal at The Imperial Court this evening. Great food and very attentive and professional service from the staff.

Excellent been tonight for the first time, food was delicious everything we ordered was so nice the crispy duck is amazing all our food was lovely not expensive the service was great really friendly staff will definitely recommend

Had a brilliant meal here, everything was so tasty, staff were lovely and the restaurant was clean and well kept.

Well Christmas is almost round the corner. And am working over Christmas so I thought I would come back to my favourite restaurant!!! This place is a must try restaurant!! The food and service is awesome not for getting the beer!!! Keep up the good work guys.!! Merry Christmas to you all.!!

First time was amazing this time was awful must have changed chef not going back

The restaurant was full however the service was really good, the staff were very attentive and polite. We ordered a wide variety of starters and main meals and all the food was spot on, would definitely return.

Great food, definitely recommend coming here.

Went to the local Chinese for a take away had two beers while it was being cooked, we were given prawn crackers free with the beers which were good , the fried rice is the best round here also the crispy beef was good, we also got free p crackers with take away ,

First takeaway from here and massive fail. We ordered a fair bit and I honestly think they re heated most of it from the weekends, it's now Tuesday! What we did eat was bland, greasy, over cooked or all three! Well be avoiding and trying rainbow house a few doors down next time.

Starters were mostly over cooked with the exception of the prawn toast which was fantastic. Don’t know what makes some of the food so brightly coloured but can’t be good for you? Main meals were unappetising and in part tasteless. Sorry! On the plus side there were plenty of staff who did and said the right things but they were quite intense so not very relaxing.

I met 4 friends here (who has eaten here before, I hadn't) and was very disappointed as I had heard really good things. I had to ask the lady seating us to take our coats and it took her ages to take the drinks order and give us the menus. We had starters, which were fine, but we all got our main courses and I had ordered noodles. The waitress asked me which noodles I had ordered and said they wouldn't be long, when they arrived my food was cold, not that it was very hot to start off with. She tried to take my main dish away and leave the noodles, which would also have been cold by the time she brought my main back. My friends had nearly finished their meal by the time I got my food back. There was no apologies, no money off the bill and no acknowledgement of what had happened.

Been coming here for 10 years . Amazing food and great atmosphere. Brilliant for kids too. Sheila is amazing

Take away was dreadful, it was nothing more that MSG congealed mess. Overpriced, lacking taste, poor quality ingredients. Don't waste your money.

Excellent food, excellent service a "little gem"

Food and service was second to none.be back soon.😀

Nice little place. Lovely hospitality. Nice food. Portion sizes not large but big enough to satisfy your appetite

Excellent food & fantastic service. Lovely authentic Chinese quisine.

Visited last night to eat in for the first time in years and everything about the experience was terrible. Bare in mind I've got takeaways from here since they opened. We asked to leave it a bit before ordering so we could have a drink first. After being asked 5 times in the space of 5 to 10 minutes what we wanted to order we felt pressured into eating so just ordered. The food then arrived in under 5 minutes, even a microwave isn't that quick. Once the food arrived we wasn't left alone, must have been asked 10 times if the food was ok. The food was ok, just the speed it came out makes me wonder how they can justify 8 to 9 quid a dish. Won't be returning which is a shame.

Birds nest missing from my vegetable cashews with birds nest. Hardly any egg in the egg fried rice. Salt and pepper tofu was freezing cold. When I tried ringing back after getting home and finding the problems the number was constantly engaged. Unlikely to return.

We have been several times and always had Lovely food and attentive service. Better to book but you may be lucky and be able to get a table. Fantastic Early Diner menu

The banquet 4 was good at a reasonable price The staff were friendly It was a pity that there were not more customers

Good food good service, very busy

Got mum suppose to be chicken water chestnuts and did not want bamboo shoots.but they had put them in anyway and the amount in the tub it was only 1/4 full there was only 2 pcs chicken and she had it with what suppose to be egg fried rice. It was terrible.for the price. I Had I thought chicken balls in sweet and sour sauce. When I saw tub it just lined bottom of it and was given sweet and sour chicken and not the chicken balls. This cost me £16 pound which I though was expensive for the amount and quality of the food we received will stick to the normal takeaway who understand what I want.

Good service but food isn't the best. It's not bad it's just not particularly outstanding either.

I think this has changed hands. Got a take out 3 weeks ago, very poor compared to how it was. Better food from take away shops in Leigh now and much cheaper.

We normally visit at least once a month, sometimes twice. This evening because we were busy working in the house we decided on a takeaway. My wife had the chicken chow mien and I, the chicken in black been sauce with boiled rice. For the price they are exceptionally well proportioned meals and so nice we both devoured all of our meals. The food is cooked fresh by David but the wait was minimal. We love our visits there. The service is always great but towards the weekend it is advisable to book so popular is the place with locals. We have never had a bad meal there in all the years we have been dining. Well recommended for a visit.

Rubbish service, 2 hours to get main courses and the wait was not worth my time. The best thing here was the drinks!

My word this place was terrible tonight, over two hours for the three course set menu (soup, appetisers and main) and ended up sending food back. The manager said it was because they were busy, the restaurant was barley half full but with plenty of covers going via the take away. I can't think of a worse Chinese meal that I have eaten for a very long time, even the chippy from the 1990s was better.

For the 2nd time this month I have had take away from this wonderful restaurant.

We took a walk up to the imperial court which is local for us we have been a couple of times now both times we have gone we have got a table straight away rhe food was very good the service was good and the prices are not expensive nice clean restaurant the wine is good too

Have eaten in at this restaurant many times and is usually fine.

Lovely family 👪, meal, able to fit us in last minute with a table for 9 on Father's Day, always have nice staff, warm and welcoming great village eatery.

The service for a takeaway of fried beef with boiled rice and curry sauce, late at an empty restaurant around 10 pm, was very quick indeed. The beef and rice were fine but the sauce was jellyfied and not freshly prepared. Perhaps the chef did wish to seerive fresh sauce for pricey order.

Been going here for years . Don’t no if the chef as Changed BUT the food was rubbish went to treat our grandson they put us on a table at the end of a party that where book out took our order everything come out at different times I finished my starter before there’s came the salt and pepper ribs are full off table salt no chilli and no meat DON’T BOTHER. The whole experience was terrible after looking forward to it the bill 44 pounds wish I throw it down the grid instead never again .

The food here is excellent and in my view the best Chinese restaurant in the local area. The staff are very hard working and very professional. The prices are also very reasonable.

Went in as a family of six and got shoved on a tiny, cramped rectangular table sat shoulder to shoulder. We then asked if we could sit on the more spacious round table only to be told it was for eight people. After ordering lots of starters, we decided to ask again if we could sit on the bigger table. By this time the staff were having to put some of our food on the table behind us because there was no room where we were sat! Yet they STILL wouldn’t move us! On top of that, the drinks were flat, the food was rubbish and tasteless and we had to take our main course out as a takeaway to save ourselves the trouble. Wouldn’t go again.

Had a lovely meal, we had the banquet for two. It was cooked to perfection. We left with a doggy bag as couldn’t eat it all! Great atmosphere, staff very helpful and really accommodating ! Will be returning !

Visited for the first time as a random choice this Saturday night. A busy restaurant but spacious enough for a couple to share an intimate evening. Friendly welcome, good service, great food (The hot and sour soup was the best I’ve had). A really enjoyable evening and very reasonably priced for such quality food. Will definitely be returning soon.

Love this place my favourite Chinese food and service is good!!!

Great atmosphere and food average.

Myself & my family like it here. The prices are in line with most Chinese restaurants. 99.9% of the dishes are spot on granted at busy times its not as good as week night but hay where is?! Fab for calling in after work for a takeaway or a family meal. Will return time & time again.

We ordered the special takeaway which should have been 2 Chicken and sweet corn soups. Received one chicken and sweet corn one hot and sour.

We arrived at 8.30pm, we were reluctantly welcomed and told they close at 10pm so would we accept starters and main courses together ... there was only one other table in and they were almost finished. Food was thick and gluey.. awful!

Ok Chinese and reasonably priced.

We are local so we ordered a take away 20 minuets arrived and it’s ready

My wife and I decided to give this place a try for tea tonight. The overall ambience was good and...

Always a friendly welcome and food is always good and well presented

Comimos aquí hace 3 días, sal y pimienta costillas pidió que extrañamente tenía un sabor dulce. ! El crujiente de algas era muy gruesas y aunque sé que es repollo, sabía como col. El curry de gambas y el arroz era gloopy era bastante pesado,...

Nos reservada después de ir a la pista de carreras para un rápido servicio de comida fue rápido y pedimos chick dulce y agria y comidas calientes de pollo en salsa de frijol negro y arroz ambos deliciosos. Todo el personal era muy amable y parecía que muchos clientes regulares participaron. Mientras está así era un poco ruidoso a veces este lugar es recomendable.

Staff are fantastic, food is perfect and very quick

We came for a take out, everyone raves on about this place so we thought we'd give it a try. Was just really disappointed the food was apauling, the ribs are caked in batter & tiny, couldn't even bite into one it was rock hard it was like it got deep fat fried the night before, I've never seen ribs like that before they look like golf balls, the chicken curry was terrible too just no taste to it Im honestly convinced I could make it better myself complete waste of money I felt ill all night from it
