" Had a nice dinner here last week with my family. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I particularly liked the house special noodles, which were full of flavor. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and the service was pleasant. I would say it was an enjoyable experience overall, but I think I’d like to try different dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dining experience! Celebrated a family gathering here, and everyone left happy and satisfied. The salt and pepper chicken wings were crispy and delicious, while the fried rice was generous and flavorful. Service was prompt and friendly, making our experience more enjoyable. The only downside? It's cash only, which caught us off guard, but we'll manage! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Imperial Palace for the first time last week, and I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was warm, and the layout gave an inviting feeling. I ordered the Mongolian beef and cream cheese wontons. The beef was flavorful, and the wontons were crispy and light. For the price, the portions were generous. I will definitely return to try their well-known salt and pepper dishes, which I hear are a must-try among regulars. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely experience! The crispy salt and pepper chicken is out of this world, and the portions are huge for the price. Staff was attentive without being overwhelming, and the restaurant was clean and well-kept. I have to mention the soup; it was comforting and made from fresh ingredients. This is definitely the place to come for authentic Chinese flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had several dishes from this location, and it remains one of my favorite go-to spots. Their authentic cuisine always hits the mark. The chicken wings are different from anywhere else, and I even love their grilled shrimp! Be prepared for long wait times during peak hours, but that just shows how popular this place is! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love this restaurant! The salt and pepper wings are to die for, and they come in great portions! The ambience is lively but still cozy, making it perfect for a quick bite or a family meal. Also, the staff seems like they genuinely care about customer satisfaction. A must-visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. I was looking forward to the experience since it was recommended, but my order was off. The lo mein needed more flavor, and I found the wings fairly average. On top of that, I had a long wait time after ordering. The staff was nice, but it didn’t overshadow the subpar meal. " (*Curated Review*)
