The Imperial Palace

The Imperial Palace is nestled in a small shopping plaza off Princess Anne Rd in Virginia Beach. We stopped by to have lunch on a Sunday and it was fairly busy.The older lady welcomed and greeted us, and walked us to our table. She was a very enthusiastic lady and was very happy to have us dine at her restaurant. I loved her energy!The food we ordered were mostly her recommendations, and they were delicious! I also liked that they had the Churchill China Blue Willow plates. As I looked around the restaurant, every guest seemed to enjoy their food. Overall, we had a great dining experience and I think most of it was because of the lady's energy. The food was delicious. Definitely would love to dine here again the next time I'm in Virginia.

Our visit turned out so great. I can't wait to return to try more food. This location is very cute and is decorated very nicely. I loved their plates. The service was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. The waitress helped with our choice in sides and it was delicious. As sides we ordered spring rolls and they were very good and crisp. The fried rice was so seasoned and so tasty. Normally I feel like I have to add an additional amount of soy sauce but this was perfect.

Imperial Palace wins "The Best of" almost every year. Once you try stop by you will see why. Imperial Palace is my go to spot even though I no longer live in VB. Imperial Palace is the real deal. The food is flavorful and is not greasy. Their EGG Drop Soup is the best I've ever tasted. It is well seasoned and always served hot. Their lunch menu is plentiful with lots of choices. To dine in, is a classy experience. You may catch the pianist while you're there.

Great food and service! Crispy beef and salt and pepper calamari are delicious ! Oh and crab ragoons

The Best Chinese restaurant in the area. They put on a fantastic Chinese New Years Party. The entire staff here are so amazingly kind and helpful. They answered all questions about the menu and are very patient.. Even the lunch menu is a few pages. I like to really go over all my options. So it took a few minutes to read and then we were all discussing what to eat. We all love sharing food so we all try to get something different from each other. That way we can try lots of different foods at one dinner or lunch.*The shrimp fried rice is perfect and a great portion. *The hot and sour soup is very good too. The mushrooms are fresh and the soup is very flavorful. Spicy goodness.*the fried wontons are so tasty and they are the best I have ever had. Not greasy at all. My whole table thought the same thing I did. *The Beef and Broccoli is always like eating comfort food. *Crab Rangoons are so good I could eat them every day.For dinner they have a sampler that is our favorite to get. It is Called Seven Stars Around the Moon for 2. It is my favorite shrimp fried rice, lumpia, imperial shrimp, governor's chicken, spare ribs, and triple delight. and we like to add egg drop soup. I honestly think if you really look at the menu and decide what you like before you order. The meal is going to be fantastic. Every single dish comes HOT HOT HOT and delicious.

This place NEVER lets you down. Consistent and the food is flavorful and delicious. The fried rice is superior over every restaurant I have tried in two years. Only complaint is that ribs need more sauce.

I was in a group of five that came for Chinese New Year. It's crazy because I have been in this strip mall at least two dozen times but never stepped inside this restaurant. Well on this night, every seat was packed as the diners were anticipating the dragon and lion dances. With the food, I ordered a sizzling plate with beef, scallops, and chinese vegetables. It was a decent dish, but I would've preferred the proteins have a little more sear on them. I did try a few dishes that my friends got and the spareribs were the highlight for me.Also the staff was really accommodating, the owner really get involved by clearing tables, running drinks, and doing whatever it takes to keep the restaurant running smoothly. I would definitely come back to have some General's chicken, beef and broccoli, and more of those ribs!

Everything here is perfect; the food, the service and the ambiance. The food is high calibre. Try it; you'll be back for more.

This is undoubtedly the best Chinese food I've had other than my grandmother's food growing up. The service is wonderful and they always give you the best recommendations. Highly recommend!

Great Chinese food spot in Virginia Beach! We came for lunch during the week and it was surprisingly busy, which immediately made us think that we had come to the right place. The atmosphere is very old school, traditional restaurant, much like our favorites in the Northeast.We started with the crab rangoons, after hearing that they are the best in the 757. The recommendation was correct. They are made with real crab, not imitation like usual. The crab was sweet and salty and the outside wonton was perfectly cooked. I didn't love the dipping sauce, but the rangoons honestly didn't need any sauce. Would definitely get these again.For entrees, my husband got one of the lunch combos with comes with the entree, rice and soup. He got the Kung Pao Chicken with fried rice and hot and sour soup. I got the shrimp egg foo yung.The hot and sour soup was the best thing that hit our table. By far. Best hot and sour soup I've ever had (and I order it at every Chinese restaurant I go to). I will absolutely get it every time I come here! The Shrimp Egg Foo Yung was also delicious. We weren't thrilled with the Kung Pao Chicken or Fried Rice, but they weren't bad!We will definitely be back!
