New Imperial in Watford

The food was amazing, as always.

No free prawn crackers anymore?

Great food, great delivery time, couldn't ask for better. Thank You!

We had ordered a pork curry and got a mushroom curry.

Ordered ASAP, and was here in half an hour, earlier than the given time, which was fine by me! Freshly cooked, hot and tasty , a great meal and great service all round. Thank You

Good and hot food. Will order again.

Food was greasy and cold, worst meal we’ve had from there which is a shame.

The prawn crackers were soft the egg fried rice and pork and pineapple and sweet and sour chicken were all warm the only thing that was hot was the pancake rolls

The meal for one was lovely. Piping hot, plenty of it and very tasty. Thank you!

Very nice food, best Chinese takeaway we have had so far in watford (and we have tried a few of them)

Bland tasting vermicelli with no kick. Other dishes were alright. Small portions, especially the rice. Need option for larger portions.

Everything was really good however we were missing the seaweed which was very disappointing so if you could provide a refund for £4.50 it would be much appreciated

The freshest prepared food delivered piping hot. We are never disappointed 💯❤️

Top quality and a fair price would recommend and will be using again many thanks for a great service

Great food, delivered well and on time.

Food was lovely, arrived on time and hot. Would definitely recommend and order again.

another great Chinese from new imperial -food was fresh, hot and tasty and good portion sizes! Our delivery was slightly late but it was Valentine’s Day so they were probably busier than usual Delivery driver was friendly also Will definitely be ordering again - our go to Chinese

Food was very poor, feel unwell after eating. Every tastless. Tried to contact just eat but no luck. Will never be ordering again

Excellent food but some dishes (eg broccoli) are outrageously expensive. Friendly staff, some of whom wear masks (reassuring). Service was good - we didn’t have to wait too long for our food. Never disappointed with our regular visits.

The duck was lovely, the rest was quite bland and not very warm at all. Half of it went in the bin..

I ordered here for the first time and I am not really impressed with the food... the seafood noodles had very little noodles in, special fried rice was not great. Food came piping hot and on time.

Prompt delivery, great food to celebrate the new year - thanks!

Worst Chinese I’ve ever had. Over half an hour late, gave me the complete wrong order, changed it and then it tasted absolutely awful. Never again.

Great Chinese food and service. Thank you. We will order again.

Gutted as was impressed when first ordered from this Chinese. After todays order I will not be ordering again. Food came not hot at all and the prawn crackers were past stale .

We were 9 friends - a book group. This restaurant was chosen because one of the group had had a good meal there. Unlike the previous review the service was good but the restaurant was freezing. This is no exaggeration as we all had to sit with our coats on. One tiny heater was produced which made no difference. I didn't expect it to be really hot, but icy? No. We were well looked after but we had to keep asking for our starters - they brought some and then the mains before the rest of the starters so we had to eat them together. The plates were cold so we had to ask for them to be heated. We had to ask for soy sauce. For my part the meat dishes were inedible - others liked them. The chicken satay was good. The noodles OK and the rice fine. The banana fritter was good but not original. So my advice? Don't go in winter maybe summer. We had all driven a distance so it was not worth the effort. And the wine? Very expensive for what it was. Not a good deal. I shan't be returning.

After a trip to Costco we fancied trying out the chinese restaurant around the corner. As we walked in we were ignored for about 20 minutes myself and my partner and our 3 year old. Eventually a waitress said hello and asked us if we would like a table, we said yes please. She walked us to a spare table didn’t ask us would we like a high chair for our little boy or would we like a drink. Ignored for another half an hour, as I looked through the very expensive menu wondering how much this was going to cost if we actually ordered what we wanted. We settled for the set menu of which we didn’t really want but it was the only way to keep the ‘nice lunch’ we thought we could get to an acceptable price. We ordered 3 soft drinks which were delivered to us in a can with a glass, we ordered the set menu which was £30 per person. They delivered us the starter after a further 30 minute wait what was served to us was unacceptable. We were given 2 pancake rolls which were like mashed mess inside, 2 chicken satay skewers which were tiny a massive mess which I can only describe as something scrapped off the bottom of a bird cage ‘shrimp’ in a toxic batter with no shrimp basically just batter and a massive amount of seaweed to fill up the plate with two small dips of a chilli sauce and a peanut sauce. We asked for prawn crackers which we were told were an additional cost dry and flavourless. My son wouldn’t even touch the food due to the mess off it all. While I left my partner to tackle his way through the disgusting starter I took my young son to the toilet which was absolutely disgusting and not clean. I came back to the table and said we are leaving now I said can we pay for our drinks as we barely touched the stater, they came with a bill of £37 I said what is that for they said for the drinks prawn crackers and starter. I said no way are we paying that it is absolutely disgusting? To be met with well this is your fault why don’t you like it I said because it’s not edible. They then reduced the bill to £22 and my other half was so fed up with this point we paid it and left, such a shame. I would never criticise anywhere without justification but my goodness this place needs a re think.

The best Chinese food I've eaten in a long time ,will be ordering from here again

First time ordering from here and have now found our favourite Chinese! The delivery was quick and the driver was friendly. Food was piping hot and tasted really fresh with nice flavours Definitely recommend

If you like bland tasteless food then this is the restaurant for you

Most of the food was great but the prawn crackers were hard and chewy - inedible

Food was lovely and fresh and tasty as always, wouldn’t go anywhere else!!!!! 🥟🍛🍲🥕🥦🍙🥠🥢🥡

Food was absolutely delicious! Would definitely order from them going forward.

Good quality food delivered on time.

We keep calling the restaurant and the tell us to wait

Food was late and arrived cold. I called the restaurant and was told that this was due to traffic. The person was polite and explained what had happened but it still was still it was still late and cold.

Very good food and fast delivery 👌

Lovely as usual, chicken noodles are 😍😍😍 only Chinese I order from!

First time using this restaurant, and overall very good. One slight concern was that some of the chicken looked a bit red, but all other dishes very nice. Overall I would use them again.

Great tastes, good food, promptly delivered - thanks!

Recomended this place by a freind so we tried it. After a long waitfor our order the food was ok i'v had much better in watford. The staff were very freindly and helpfull the place was very clean i just think the food could be better

Food was decent, Dry ribs were a tad too dry, And if I was nit-picking the prawn crackers were cooked in older oil. To be fair for though, For the money it was pretty good all round. Would order again.

I hardly leave a review not because I do not want too because always good to eat simply Delicious tonight the egg fried rice was tasty to everything that I ordered.

Ingredients looked and tasted fresh. The fried noodles could have done with a bit more seasoning they tasted a bit bland. Fried chicken with pineapple was delicious. Kung Po Prawns and spicy vermicelli were okay.

Food was not good at all chicken ball had a bad smell all the other dishes where mainly onions and no meat ,won't b using it again

It was bland- egg fried rice Chicken balls tasted like they’d been recooked Prawn crackers-over cooked 🙄🤢

Wonderful fresh food so tasty and delivered quickly. Thank you

Piping hot on arrival portion size was good the flavour was very nice

As a first customer I was really impressed with the quality, the portion, the punctuality of the food. And the food arrived hot, I will definitely be returning. If anybody is looking for a good Chinese, look no further than new imperial.

Beautiful,tasty food. Batter was crispy and light. Food arrived hot,delivery driver was really lovely. Best chinese in Watford .

Easy to order, delivered quickly and food very nice and very hot

Absolutely disgusting! Beef curry was just onion and mushroom with hardly any curry sauce. Soup was wallpaper paste consistency and just generally rank. Wouldn’t recommend

Ended up collecting my order due to the very long delivery time frame but was still charged delivery. Food was ok, but felt a bit let down as all of items were quite bland. Not going to bed hungry but am definitely a bit disappointed. Over all I'd rate it a 6/10.

Usually it is gorgeous from here but this one was not nice. Curry had no flavour and was very watery. Food was delivered by a very nice man and on time.

Great food, well packaged and delivered. Thank you!

Waste of money. Zero flavour. Not sure if the chef is a heavy smoker or has a cold but defo the worst curry in a few years. Binned and reviewed. Won’t be back. Bland as ….

Gorgeous food, great service, lol belt delivery driver. Will order again .

Lovely food and great portion sizes. I was only ordering for me but I probably ended up with lunch and dinner for the next day too.

Very tasty, as always but not the dish I ordered, so my apologies if you got my king prawn curry! Definitely our favourite takeaway!

Very bland, little sauce in the dishes and way too many onions. Very disappointing.

All dishes were piping hot and I enjoyed what I ordered flavour wise a tad too much sauce but will order rice or noodles next time

Beautifully cooked, hot, tasty and cannot fault anything Thank You

Food low quality compared to other chinese shops. The squid was especially dry and hard like it was cooked yesterday. Crab and corn soup very bland. Very dissatisfied with everything

Really lovely food, nice and hot, would definitely order from here again. Good value for money.

First time ordering from here, our prawn crackers were stained brown (probably fried in old oil), the seaweed was mixed with white in sugar ( no need, there’s enough sugar in Chinese take away ?and my saeetm

Very enjoyable, prompt delivery... thanks!

Super quick delivery and great food.

Fabulous food as always!!! The best Chinese around 👍🏻

Don't waste your life eating cereal, the best dinner is New Imperial.

Pity food was so late as I was with a friend who had time constrains and we'd planned around the supposed delivery time but ended up calling the take away at the of the time period they say it will be with you. Driver didn't have a clue what I was saying. I don't know how they got it so wrong this time.

The food was pretty tasteless and the chicken with green peppers and black bean, had more massive peppers than chicken. The chicken curry was not great.

Food was cold had to be microwaved and Chicken balls looked a bit pinkish

Our Favourite Takeaway! Cannot recommend the food or delivery service highly enough. Thank You

Food wasn't as good as it used to be sauces watery and bland

Great food loved it would 100% recommend

Absolutely LOVE this place. Hot, on time, good quality and definitely the best Chinese take away in Watford. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I can honestly say its the best Chinese we have had in a very long time, food was tasty, piping hot and delivered on time. I cant fault it. Thank You!

Food was decent, noodles could of had more flavour

Listen up and listen good. There is no better Chinese takeaway in Watford. New Imperial is in a league of their own when it comes to food quality and customer service.

Stick to who you trust, and go back for more.5 stars

New Imperial are our Chinese! The food is great and the service is super fast.

Always good grub delivered fast.

Very friendly, pleasant delivery man. Good food.

Phoned them up,told them all chicken dishes very salty.All they said was I'll tell the kitchen. What a waste of £30.

Polite delievery driver early delivery looked great and food was warm but my chicken wasn't cooked that well so I couldn't eat it the chicken

Great quality, always reliable quick delivery, we have been regular repeat customers since the first lockdown. Highly recommended

Friendly delivery, and very tasty meal (o:

Ordered from here before with no issues. Tonight it took an hour and 45 mins from ordering. With 40 minutes from when they said it’s on its way. Food was lukewarm, refried and nasty. The only thing that was fresh was the delivery drivers 21 plate car!

Lovely food brilliant driver too. Thanks

Beautiful food - lovely exotic flavours - really delicious and lots of lovely leftovers for tomorrow
