Imperial China

Chinese Restaurant $$ 4.1Google (674)


Imperial China offers a mostly satisfying buffet experience with a hinted sense of authenticity in their dishes. Many customers enjoy the flavorful food, especially the shrimp and various beef dishes. However, the restaurant's decor has drawn criticism, likening it to a cafeteria setting rather than an inviting dining space.

" The food was decent, certainly not the worst I've had, but it was definitely average. The sweet and sour chicken was too sweet, and the fried rice was bland. Not much excitement with the options available. I likely won't come back unless I get tired of my local options. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited on a Saturday night, and it was buzzing! The buffet had a pretty good selection, and I was delighted by the variety of vegetables. Even though the atmosphere was lacking, the taste was enjoyable. I felt like a neighborhood restaurant, cozy in its own way. We plan to return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Imperial China and was not impressed. The atmosphere felt more like a cafeteria. I ordered a plate of mixed vegetables and wanted a little spice, but it lacked any punch! The service was friendly, yet the overall meal didn’t meet my expectations. It was okay, but I wouldn't prioritize coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Since moving to Lethbridge, Imperial China has become my go-to for Chinese food. The staff are always friendly, and the takeout is quick. Even though the dining area is basic, I can't resist their shrimp and fried rice! I often find myself recommending it to friends for a casual dining experience. Excellent value and generous portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Imperial China is amazing! I went there last week and was blown away by the flavor of the fried chicken and vegetables. The buffet has such a wide selection, and everything we tried was fresh. The ambiance is a bit plain for my taste, but the quality of the food compensates for it. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Imperial China was quite good! The fried wontons were delicious, and the spicy beef added great kick. The place was clean and the staff were exceptionally nice. However, the ambiance felt very plain and could use some improvement. Still, the food was definitely worth returning for! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm from Toronto and I've eaten at many Chinese restaurants, so I had high expectations. The food was decent, but we had better back home. I found some dishes too greasy for my liking. The ambiance threw me off a bit, thinking I was dining in a cafeteria. The staff were polite, and the portions were generous, which helped my experience. " (*Curated Review*)
