" Having lived in several cities with extensive Chinese culinary options, I was skeptical coming here. However, I was genuinely shocked by the quality of food at Chinese Imperial Inn. I ordered the garlic chicken and it was delightful—perfectly marinated and really tender. Talking with the owners, you can see how passionate they are about their food and hospitality. While the ambiance is nothing to rave about, the genuine experience of east Asian heritage through their dishes made me overlook that. Perhaps they can consider sprucing up the place a bit, but I’ll surely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience here, unfortunately. I heard great things about the place, but I found the food to be mediocre. The lemon chicken I ordered was bland, and my dining companion's meal looked sad on the plate. Service was perfectly fine, but the lack of flavor turned me off. I’m not sure if it was just an off day, but I left feeling underwhelmed. The restaurant has potential, just needs improvement on the food front. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has been a part of the community for a long time, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I tried the pepper steak and was pleased with the flavor. The staff was lovely and genuinely welcomed me. The portions are large and well worth the price. The interior leaves a bit to be desired, but if the food is good, I don’t mind. Overall, I walked away satisfied and looking forward to another visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chinese Imperial Inn feels like a wonderful slice of home. I stopped by after work for a quick bite and ordered the house special fried rice. Oh my goodness, it was packed with flavor, and the shrimp were fresh, not frozen! The amount of food was huge for the price, and I couldn't even finish it all. The owner, who greeted me, made me feel really welcome and connected. The place could use a little work aesthetically, but the authentic food and heartfelt service made it a memorable experience. I’ll definitely be supporting this local gem again in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is a hidden gem! I tried the beef stir fry and it was cooked perfectly with great seasoning! It's nice that the owner also interacted with customers, sharing his love for cooking. While the décor is somewhat outdated, it adds to the charm of the place. For the price, you get large portion sizes that leave you satisfied. Definitely a great place for reliable Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I genuinely loved my first experience here! I ordered the fried rice and it was generous and full of flavor. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly enough! While the interior could use some work, the food made it easy for me to overlook that fact. I will certainly be coming back again to explore more options once I finish what I’ve got left over from today’s meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I walked into Chinese Imperial Inn, I felt an aura of warmth and home-cooked comfort. I ordered their specialty crab rangoon, which was delightful! Afterward, I tried the chef's special and it exceeded my expectations! Friendly service complemented the wonderful meal, although the place felt slightly run down. Overall, I'm happy with my experience and can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
