Chinese Imperial Inn

Surprisingly delightful! I was in search for an old school authentic Chinese restaurant.. like with a giant lazy Susan and decor that.. wasn't stereotypical. Anywho.. found this place.. although it was a 30 minute drive from me - it was worth it. I didn't know what to expect (being from SoCal).. and what I got exceeded my expectations. I took my mom here when she was in town and she was pleasantly delighted (she's.. a tough critic lol). Here's what we ordered..-Fried egg noodle with beef - My mom said this was a 3/5 for her lol.. she prefers the Vietnamese version.-Hong Kong style fish filet - Umm.. this was the star for me. This was soo good and salty (just the way I like it).. 5/5!-Sauteed Greens (forgot which one) - But this was good - 4/5Good experience!

Definitely not a done in restaurant!! The portions are large, we could have shared a meal. Very good food. I say not an eat in restaurant because the only drink was bottled water and our server was so busy with to go orders that we were in the background.. seemed like a clean restaurant though. Definitely a place for takeout!!

First time visiting and was blown away by how authentic the foods are. To be honest, we heard about Chinese Imperial Inn for a while but didn't stop by because we afraid it is just another Chinese basic fast food restaurant. But no, despite the run down look, the foods were great. The service was great too. Our server greet us with a warming smile and quickly seat us down and take our order. The food came out fast too. I was impressed. After talking to the waitress, we found out the restaurant is over 30 yrs old, family run. No wonder why it has such great ambiance. I would recommend dinning in instead of order take out. Lot of food need to be eaten right away. Sitting in the box makes the food soggy and overcooked. Deff will come back for more. Just thinking about it s me hungry.

The outside of the building is rough so this is definitely a "don't judge the food by the building!" restaurant! We chose to eat in and the service was super quick, the food is AMAZING! We got soooo much food for the price, too!!! I will drive out of my way for Chinese Imperial Inn!

I haven't been here in several years. The outside hasn't changed - it's pretty run-down. The inside has been remodeled since I was here last and it's cleaner than the outside appears. The menu is slimmed downed from what I remember and I was disappointed to see all Americanized dishes on the menu. We both ordered the Hot & Sour soup for an appetizer. I ordered the Beef in Spicy Sauce with Peanuts and my husband ordered the Rock Salt Squid. The hot & sour soup was great! We both thought it was awesome. Some of the better hot & sour soup we've had. We both thought our dishes were pretty good too. Although, neither of us were blown away by our meal. Mine was a bit too sweet, not very spicy and lacked any real depth. The service was quick and friendly.

Lived in Cincinnati for over 10 years now and this is the best Chinese food I've had. Up there with the best food I've had. The egg rolls are top tier and the chicken with garlic sauce is amazing.

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Four of my co-workers and I ordered takeout on Thurs, 5/12. We ordered a variety of lunch specials (chicken, beef) with fried rice and egg rolls. Within 45 minutes, all of us were violently ill. I would only recommend eating at this place if you want to spend 24+ hours vomiting. Wish I would have read their health department inspections before eating here. 2 inspections with critical findings and magically no findings on their second reinspection? Seems fishy. Caveat emptor.

Never been before so we gave it a try for lunch on 5/12 - wish I hadn't. The inside of the place looks like the outside - dark, dingy and sus.I went with the beef with broccoli, coworker with the General Tso's chicken. Food came out in short time and something looked off about it, but I ate it anyway.Get back to the office, within an hour I'm getting sick in my garbage can at my desk, which was a pleasant treat for my office mates. My coworker felt fine. I will not be returning.

Food was not great....service and speed was good...I had chicken fried rice....price was fair

Lunch under $12. Not sure why the low rating but the best places i have come to find are the small mom & pop hole in the wall shops.I read some of the previous reviews and they read like ... they don't answer the phone the web sit is broken .. the building looks like crap. I will admit yes the building is a bit dated but is pretty clean and as far as not answering the phone is probably due to the fact the nice lady running the front end is by herself and is running food and doing take-out orders along with waiting on customers. Give them a break I had moo goo gi pan lunch special with hot and sour soup and it was awesome . Food quality and presentation i give 5 stars.I walk out paying less than $12 for lunch but i gave a way above average tip. I wll definitely be back.
