We ordered a takeaway of salt & Pepper chilli beef and this is what we got which cost £7.50 a portion. As you can see there were no sign of any beef. It tasted like cold scraps... the spare ribs tasted nice but there were still cold..... all in all the meal cost over £30 for basically what could of been described as cold scrapes, very disappointing. I wouldn't even feed my dogs them 🤮

Exremely slow service with staff having little or no interest both on food and drinks service. Food was ok but nothing to write home about, particularly slow when only a few people in..... Prices were well overpriced bearing in mind the service and the portions. Will not be bothering here again....

For a family that have frequently dined at the imperial this will be our last which is very sad as I have many fond memories of the restaurant and all the staff. Unfortunately the service has gone down hill to the point I had to ask for drinks, glasses to be cleared from the table . The starters came out wrong so half of our table had them and half didn’t them, with no compensation or real apology given. After sitting for 20 mins after we had finished our starters I had to ask staff for the table to be cleared and for cutlery and chopsticks to be replenished. Poor poor service for the price we paid. To top all this the carpet was sticky and all the family complained about their shoes sticking to the carpet, I didn’t even want to put my bag in the sticky floor! . The table cloths were cheap paper ones and also napkins. Also to have a child I. The restaurant and clearing tables isn’t good business practice! The food was okay but that’s about it, no more take aways or visits to this restaurant , very very disappointed!.

Where to start. The waitress took ages to take our order. The food took so long I wondered if they had gone to china to get it. The food came in dribs and drabs. There was a lot of confusion over how many people the mixed starter platter served, resulting in a bigger bill. The food wasnt even average. Chewy pork, and I'm sure all the sauces come out of jars. I will never go again. Save your money, pop over the road to sainsburys and buy their chinese meal. Tastes much better.

When we order king prawns in a light tempura batter, I don’t expect to get prawns with no batter at all. My wife is too kind to complain but I’m not. The order was very clear and you need to listen properly. 😡 Sort yourselves out……

Ordered a takeaway, not the first time we've used them. Had problems before but nothing major. Last night's wasn't major but enough for me to go elsewhere from now on. Ordered food at 18:20... 19:30 no food still. I ring up politely, 'is there much more of a wait? I appreciate you are busy' etc. 'its in the kitchen waiting to be picked up' 20:00 I ring up again. I will state this. Getting through on the phone is hard work in itself but... 20:00 no food. I ring again, 'it's gone out'... 20:30 no food. At this point I'm livid that they would mug me off. They've got my money. So after falling out with my family I get in the car and set off to tear someone a new one, in the restaurant... As I'm driving it shows up at 20:50. I go back home still foul.... I get home and the foods cold anyway and greasy! Nobody is hungry anymore and nobody wants the food. Night ruined... The only saving grace for them is I didn't make it into the restaurant because somebody would have had my mood taken out on them.... Liars! I will never use again!

First time trying this Chinese and overall not very impressed. Food was very bland & luke warm at most. Throughout the meal all we hear was “Leo, Leo, Leo, Leo” the lady behind counter couldn’t stop shouting the poor lads now. Credit to Leo though as he was very good! But for me & my partner we won’t be returning.

Went out for a family meal, there was 11 of us.... 5 of us went for the set meal which was 19.50 per person.... food was beautiful, but the value was absolutely appalling.... 1 plate of each which was on the set menu deal to share between 5 people.... even the rice was 1 portion of rice... so 5 plates of food cost us over 100 pounds. Was very disappointed. To top the food we had to hand back all our beer, as they had a bad keg, not the restaurants fault, but still just added to the disappointment.

I served in Honk Kong twice so I have a good idea what a decent Chinese is. This is poor, meal, service, price and decor. Over time this restaurant has really gone down hill. The decor is shabby, the old yellow air conditioning unit, must have been there since it opened, along with a pyrex dish the Mongolian beef was served on! ( which came with plum sauce obviously left over from the duck dishes) You would think with a booking system in place they would have enough staff on duty. Not so. Sat for 10 minutes, then a bowl of 6 Prawn cracker arrived, a waitress disappeared as fast without leaving a drinks list as its separate to the menu. ( A none disposable menu in use,handled by every one !) No Soy with starter, chop sticks NOT in a paper pouch hand delivered to table. ( Wonder who last had them in their mouth) The chicken in black bean sauce just tasted of salt. Sweet and sour pork very average. The beef in oyster sauce, well it just tasted of fish that was off. Never tasted anything like it. I have eaten marinated Duck webs and Sea Slugs and they tasted much better than this. The special fried rice was rice and a couple of pieces of egg, that was it! Service was slow between courses and waitress was not aware the swipe card had a £45 limit and wouldn't allow me to swipe. So my card was handled, presume she did the same with the previous card she handled. This virus will never go away. So my advice, give it a very wide berth. The only good news was Boris ( or all of us) paid £20 off the bill. But we will be paying for it, for a long long time. Stay Safe.

Went for a family meal we were greeted with very friendly staff and Initially service was good, with drinks order being taken and delivered whilst looking through the menu. I’m veggie and whilst there wasn’t a mass of choices there were enough. Once we had got to our table we had starters and mains, the food really was lovely but the service was extremely slow, waiting for food and clearing up. I had finished my drink before I sat at the table to eat and was offered another but was waiting so long for that that everyone else had finished their drinks too, another member of staff passed and took another drinks order. I could understand slow service if the restaurant was busy but it wasn’t. The price was reasonable and I will go again in the hopes that we caught them on a bad night.

Since Wendy Chow shut her doors this is undoubtedly the best Chinese restaurant in town. We went for our works Christmas do and cleared the bar dry. Great service, tolerant staff and well worth having the set menu. There was loads of food and plenty for all guests and touched base with everything I’d want at a Chinese. Only slight criticism is there wasn’t enough seaweed for the eight on our table in the starter - there was barely enough for one person! Otherwise, there was loads of duck, and loads of everything else and it was delicious!

Ordered our food when the starter came it was a sharing platter for 2 we had asked for no wantons but extra chicken Satay the waitress said she would have to ask & came back saying yes that was ok then an elderly lady came & said there would be an extra charge which I tought was redicilous . When our starter came out we thought it was a sharing platter for 1 & asked the waitress but we were told it was for 2 very dissapointed also we had to ask for the ribs which were not on it . Our mains came out my beef was unedible & the noddles tasted & smelled of burnt which we could not eat .When I complained the lady of the house which doesn't no any thing about good old hosipitality or making you feel welcome did even come to our table to appoligise about the food being so bad & when we went to pay she had charged us for what we couldn't eat !! Which I challenged & she only took the main course off The food was rubbish & the lady was very unpleasant won't be back .

We visited as a party of four. We were taken to a seating area and had to go to the bar to order drinks. They were very busy but had delivered the menus and could have taken a drinks order then. We ordered and were then taken to our table. The food was really tasty. They also took special orders that were not on the menu (salt and chilli king prawns). The mixed platter starter was delicious. Excellent prawn toast and spicy chicken satay stood out.

Booked for a meal in December a table for two. It was initially very quiet and we ordered and had a lovely meal. It really was nice food. But it seemed as the restaurant got busier we were forgotten. I will add it was apparently the busiest Friday of the year, but no one asked us if we wanted a dessert or a cup of coffee. I requested the bill and that was duly taken from the table. Very disappointed in the after dinner service. Maybe we should have gone with a large group and spent more money.

My partner and I first visited this restaurant last year while staying at the Scunthorpe Premier inn (rather than eating at the very below par Anchor Beefeater which is next to it) as this it was recommended by the reception staff. We thoroughly enjoyed it the first time so as we were in the area we came back. What a delight. I would say that it was exactly as the first time, EXCELLENT. Greeted by a polite, friendly lady who showed us to the pre dinner area for drinks etc and then on to the restaurant part when the food was ready. The food, the service and the general ambiance is spot on. Couldn't ask for better.Will we be back? Without a doubt.

Within 10 minutes we were then taken to a lovely clean dining area & our food arrived promptly.

Very, very unimpressed. Every Chinese menu everywhere is exactly the same!! And this is no different. The place has no atmosphere and, although the staff tried hard, they couldn't bring it to life in any way that would ever want me to go back. Being truthful, the cost for what we ate made my eyes water!! The food was ok, nothing more and we would have got the same deal I'm sure had we have ordered take out - and at much less cost. If this really is Scunthorpe's best offering, then I'll stick to take away fish and chips in future!!

About an hours wait for the food and only 2 waitresses on the whole floor. The food was good we only had a main and it was tasty just a shame about the wait the place seemed a little unorganised.

We came for my boyfriend's birthday, as we did last year, and there's a reason we returned. From the moment we walked in, the service was brilliant. Drinks were brought over to us along with the nicest prawn crackers I've ever tasted! Seriously, I didn't think prawn crackers could be so nice! Ample time allowed to order as we can ever make our minds up! They were very patient!The time between the order being taken and the starter coming out was great. The vegetable tempura was lovely, although I think it should be served with chilli sauce rather than sweet and sour, but that's just personal preference. My boyfriend had beef in oyster sauce which I just can't seem to replicate at home, and the seafood and tofu hotpot, while one of the more pricey dishes, is definitely worth the cost! Big bowl of broth brimming with tofu and perfectly cooked seafood (king prawn, squid, mussels, scallop) and rice noodles...a new favourite. As it was a special occasion, we were treated to complimentary glasses of champagne, which was a really lovely gesture. It wasn't a busy night, being in the middle of the week, but the atmosphere was very pleasant, no fault to be found. The service was one of the most attentive I've experienced with thoughtful finishing touches, and the food is just delicious. We'll probably go back again for my boyfriend's birthday bext year and make it into a tradition.

I have reviewed this restaurant before but the meal was so good last night that I had to mention it again! The mixed starters of spare ribs, spring rolls, sesame toast, satay chicken, crispy won tons and crispy 'seaweed' was prepared perfectly, and the extra salt and pepper prawns were excellent. The fish in chicken and prawn sauce as a main course was described by the diners as 'the best ever'. The quarter duck with pancakes was succulent and the king prawn curry was very tasty. The service was very attentive. All in all a successful evening out.

After not going to the imperial for a while, me and my wife decided to go back, as last time we went the owners Edith and Matthew took very good care of us. Was disappointed to find they were on holiday, but the staff were just as helpful and accommodating. There was a large party at the time, so a lively atmosphere (for 6.30!), but this didn't extend to any loss of service or us taking the back seat in our experience. The food was lovely, I had an Aubergine dish in hot bean sauce (I actually think it might be called that too), and my wife had a tofu and mushroom dish, both were lovely.An excellent visit. I only gave 4 stars for the atmosphere as there was a customer here at the same time who was going out of his way to be rude to the staff, with the party also complaining. But you can't please everyone! Will be returning on Saturday with the in-laws before we go away as our customary pre-holiday meal.Again, we had and excellent meal and time!

17 of us for a retirement party ate here on Wednesday night. Not been for a good few years, but it was really good.Left to have a drink in the bar as we gathered and the prawn crackers kept appearing as we ate them, as more guests arrived the staff kept pulling up more chairs for us. The order was taken and offers of changing the dishes for individual tastes were no problems. Once at the table the food soon started to arrive, must say they even knew roughly where we sat and what we ordered - good attention to detail. The food was good, tasty, though just perhaps a tad cool, could have been done with being hotter. But hot dishes were served.We were the only table in so we were able to entertain ourselves due to numbers, but did lack a little atmosphere - guess it would have been better on a busier night.Certainly would return and would recommend. The staff really were outstanding and helpful.

Booked for a birthday celebration. Everything was excellent..all courses, the staff, and their attentiveness. We all agreed that we would visit again when we get together next month!!

Recently visited this place a few times for takeaways and each time, thinking it will be better only to be even worse. The food quality has gone down hill to the point of feeling very ill after eating. Plus the cost for three mains two chips one rice and 4 ribs was £36. Shall not be going back as the local Chinese in the village, that is half the price, is far better quality .

A meal for two pre a local show. It was recommended by some local friends. The prawn crackers were very hard and lumpy and the starter platter not hot enough. The side dishes of sauce were very small portions. The crispy duck was ok but the number of pancakes [a lot] did not match the small duck. The main courses were better in terms of temperature but the rice tasted odd. Price wise with drinks, it came in at just under £50. I have eaten far better and I don't think we will be returning. A shame.

This is one of my favourite restaurants. There is a good menu and the standard of the restsurant and the food is very high. Staff have always been very helpful. Price are a little on the high side £9 ish for a main dish but the service is excellent. I would definately return.

A fantastic place to eat and a great atmosphere. Later in the evening the dance floor comes to life within the restaurant and everyone has a good old dance.

Held a surprise party at the restaurant and the staff were excellent. They couldn't be more helpful and catered to everyone's needs without any fuss. The food was very tasty and excellent value for money for a large party with plenty to go around. Would definately use again for a large group.

We have been to the restaurant many times over the years and often have had take aways but recently the standard of food has fallen and it doesn't taste as good. They really need to get back to there old menu which was always fresh and lovely

I love this restaurant. From the outside the street doesn't look like much, but inside the restaurant the atmosphere is good, the food excellent (and portions large) and service friendly and efficient. I particularly like the set meals and starters - including the seaweed. You won't be disappointed eating here.

Just registered here and thought i'd share my recent visit to the imperial.Warm friendly atmosphere with a well stocked bar (a must for any meal for me!!)We had yuk sung to start and it was gorgeous, juicy with a good blend of flavours.Duck for middle course to satisfy the wife. And it was amazing.For mains we had sizzling satay king prawns (the best satay sauce ive ever tasted), beef and black bean and a special chow mein to share. Excellent food!The chef/owner even found the time to come to our table and talk to us to see how our night was going.Like I said before, waem and friendly and excellent food. We shall definately be returning soon!

I visited The Imperial Cantonese Restaurant in years ago with my friends but mainly with my parents. Since then we moved away from the area. A wedding invitation brought me back to Scun-thrope. This time i went there with my wife and children. The place had been updated and still retained the traditional Chinese theme. That did not disappoint, thankfully. My children ordered their favourite prawn toasts and deep fried won ton and we had the aromatic duck with pancakes. Now I hate Luke warm pancakes, but these were steaming!! Soft and beautiful! Main course was great as we had lobsters with ginger and spring onions - thank you for my wife whom she made an advance request! Fillet steak in Peking sauce was just beautiful...so tender. The other dishes were equally great, so my wife and children told me... I was more interested in the lobster and the steak.Service was excellent and always greeted with a warm friendly smile. My children were fussy with their choices of ice cream that the manageress had to make a special for them. Now where would you get a service like that?All in all, a good night out and more importantly it brought back some good memories.
