Imperial Wok

Great place to order some American Chinese food. Grew up going to Chinatown in Philadelphia. This food is not authentic and doesn’t pretend to be. The vegetables are fresh, the food is not greasy, my fingers didn’t swell which means the sodium wasn’t overkill, and they don’t use MSG. They have coupons for perks like free soup or General Tso’s chicken if you spend a certain amount. Their fried rice is delicious, lo mein has fresh, crisp veggies, the Szechuan chicken was delicious and had an awesome sauce with again, fresh, crisp veggies. Not a huge fan of the General Tso’s but that’s normal for me. Will order again very soon!

My favorite fast chinese food! Black Pepper chicken is my favorite and no other place in the area compares. They are always fast and friendly! Give them a try you won’t regret it! Also, they deliver.

It’s just a local American style Chinese restaurant but what we gotten is always hot and fresh. It’s very reasonable and it’s great for carryout. The employees have always been very friendly and it does seem to be pretty clean. A solid place to get your Chinese carryout fix.

This is delicious sweet ‘n sour chicken ! Lunch specials are a very good buy!
And it is a friendly family operated place.

Can’t beat this Chinese place! Steamed Dumplings and beef n broccoli with white rice is my favorite. Can’t really go wrong with whatever you get really.

The menu here is your standard Chinese take out place. I went in with some friends on a Sunday afternoon and we were the only ones dining in. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating, but the food just didn’t do it for us.
While I enjoyed my hot & sour soup, my friend’s egg drop soup was barely edible. The sweet & sour chicken was a little crispy for my taste enough so that I didn’t even want to take home my leftovers. Another friend’s lo mein was so sodium filled that she had to use the rice to compensate for it. If you live in the area, then this place is probably convenient and will suffice, but it is nothing worth going out of your way for.

Staying in hotel and looking for delivery after long ride. Ordering was easy, delivery quick. Ordered Szechuan and Won-​Ton soup. Arrived hot, and it’s very tasty. Would recommend and will order again.
Only nitpick is they did not deliver napkins or include salt and pepper for soup.

Yuck! The chicken was very mushy, and neither dish had much flavor. Glad it was only $ 12 for the two of us!

Too many non-​Chinese vegetables make their way into their food. One of our dishes was almost entirely celery. I can understand something like that if you were on some torturous diet, but not at a restaurant you’d like to enjoy.

This place was awesome. We wanted random, «hole in the wall» Chinese food and were pretty blown away by the discovery. Don’t be fooled by the exterior either, the place is super clean and nice inside. Food rocked, clearly fresh and served hotter than necessary. Totally bookmarked this joint. Maybe 5 Stars is a little hyperbolic, but relative to the ‘typical’ this is definitely a cut above.

Came in for the lunch special. For $ 5.75, I had hot and sour soup, fried rice, and Szechuan beef! Great deal!
+ Clean place. They have a small seating area for dine-​in. Tables fit groups of 4 but you can shuffle tables around if you need more space. Nice décor!
+ Food was tasty. I really liked the hot and sour soup! The rest of the food was good as well, and they give you a generous portion for what you pay.
+ Great, quick service!
I’d go back!

From the outside this looks like any other chinese take out place with specials on the wall and that signature neon sign. Once you get inside it is noticeably more upscsle as they have done a great job modernizing the commercial space.
For the food I was pleasantly suprised that it wasn’t as salty as chinese food can typically be which led to a much better flavor. I ordered szechuan shrimp and hot n sour soup. Both were terrific and I ate every last bite. There was no sludgy sauce that I cringe when eating at some chinesr spots, but this was terrifically prepared
I definitely will come back here for a Chinese food fix!

This is hands down the best Chinese take-​out joint in the Dillonvale/​Deer Park/​Silverton area. The restaurant is always immaculately clean, the family who owns the place is extremely nice, and best of all… the food rocks! My go-​to meal is the General Tso’s Chicken, which has just the right balance of spice and flavor. My wife’s favorite is the shrimp fried rice. I’m not a shrimp person, but she absolutely loves it.
I’ve only done carry out but there is a small dining area to the right when you walk in if you would like to eat there. They also have delivery if that is your thing. This also seems to be a hot dining spot for the local police. So, if Deer Park’s finest go there, then they must be doing something right.
I’ve tried just about all of the local Chinese take-​out offerings and this has been my favorite on all levels — food, friendliness, and cleanliness. Give them a try.

We wanted to find a good local Chinese place, so after looking at some options on Unilocal,decided to try Imperial Wok. What a great choice! My wife tried the Sesame Chicken, I tried the Egg Foo Young. Both were excellent. Good food, along with good service will always earn my business. I picked up a carry out menu, and will use it often.

We tried Imperial Wok based on its Unilocal reviews, and we weren’t disappointed. The service was very friendly, the food was above-​average for a take-​out joint, and the small dining area was very clean and inviting. We’d definitely return next time we’re in the mood for Chinese food.

I have to admit, this review is not based just on the first time I ate at, or a single visit to the Imperial Wok, which is unusual for me. I had the opportunity to eat here once before, during their start-​up week, I tend not to review a restaurant for the first week or two they are open, as they are either working out the kinks, and the missteps don’t reflect what they are going to be, or they are plied with fresh food, new, happy employees, and that «opening week» joy, which often decays. Many times it’s only after they have been around a while that their true colors show.
I will speak of my first visit, as it is relevant in retrospect. I had a buy one, get one free coupon the first time here, so I certainly took advantage of it. The offer allowed was good on the $ 5.75 lunch special, offered from 10:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., every day, Monday through Sunday. For that price you get an entrée, fried rice (steamed on request), and either an eggroll, won ton soup, egg drop soup, or hot and sour soup. I chose the Curry Shrimp, steamed rice, and an eggroll; and as my BOGO entrée, the Green Bean with Chicken (I asked for that in Garlic Sauce, extra garlic), fried rice, and my personal Chinese favorite, Hot & Sour Soup.
The Curry Shrimp was excellent. The Shrimp were nicely cooked, and not rubbery. They are on the smallish end, size-​wise, compared to some local Chinese restaurants, but, they had an excellent curry flavor and nice crisp vegetables. The egg roll was good, light and crispy, although a bit bland. The steamed rice was, well, steamed rice. For my second pick, the green bean chicken (in extra garlicky garlic sauce), was — wow! I guess one should find out what the normal garlic sauce is like before asking for extra. They took my request to heart. Very, very garlicky. The chicken was excellent — white breast meat thinly sliced and tender — the green beans lightly sautéed and still crisp. And the telltale Hot & Sour Soup? Very good. There are two kinds of soup that I get when I order this — the sweet, and the savory. This is the latter. Nice and moderately thick, dark and aromatic, full of bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, tofu, mini-​corn and other delectables, it scored pretty high on the «Greg’s Hot & Sour Soup Scale.» Moderately spicy and very nice.
My recent trip got me the Hot & Spicy Shrimp, and more of that great H&S Soup. The shrimp are still, in my opinion, undersized, but they were surely Hot & Spicy. The sauce was interesting, slightly vinegary, more a southern-​style hot sauce flavor than the Sriracha style heat Chinese cooking is known for. I put this as an 8 out of 10, on the heat scale. Moderate after burn, unusual for most spicy Chinese food, as they tend to tone it down for the American palette. I have only had one other dish that consistently rates high in heat, and that’s the Kung Pao Chicken at a store in California. Those insidious little maroon hot peppers can kill if you’re not careful! The veggies were finely diced onions and carrots, with a few peas sprinkled in for color.
Both of these visits were take-​out, and I must say they were beautifully packed plastic containers with tight fitting snap-​on lids. Sauces are self-​serve next to the free hot tea on a little stand in the dining room. You have to ask for chopsticks. The dining room is smallish, with about eight tables or so. It is minimally decorated in an obvious Chinese motif, and the place strikes you as very clean. There is a large cooler full of pop and a few other drinks that you can select from as you are ordering. Both times I have been there, the staff has been very pleasant. On my last visit, when I phoned in the order, I was told «5 to 10 minutes». When I walked in six minutes later, it was packed and waiting for me. Now that’s fast.
I like the place. And although not the closest Chinese restaurant to me (there are three closer), I would certainly go out of my way to drive the extra couple of minutes to come here. I would heartily recommend it, as it makes my «Inner Myagi» happy.

My new favorite Chinese food in Deer Park. This place is clean, their food is well above average Chinese fare and well priced. Their Crab Rangoon is amazing. Service is even above average if you choose to eat in.

Went here with my girlfriend on a breezy, cool day. We were looking for some hot, tasty Chinese food. We were greeted by friendly staff as we entered the restaurant. There was a healthy line of people picking up orders and making them. (It’s a good sign when it’s busy, right?) She ordered the chicken egg foo young and loved it. Saying, «The gravy is delicious. I love this gravy more than you.» Which broke my heart at first until I tried a bite of her order dosed in gravy… Damn. I love it more than me too!
I ordered the lunch special orange chicken with hot & sour soup. It was great. My only qualms with the food are the mini chunks of orange rind that are scattered about. I know you can eat orange rinds, but for me it’s a bitter, odd textured nightmare. BUT, on the bright side at least I know they’re using real oranges in their orange chicken! It’s not made with some gelatinous orange-​favored sauce that tastes like melted down orange slice candies. This orange chicken is savory, sweet and tasty when rolled in their fried rice.
tl;dr: It’s safe to say we’ll be back again. Egg Foo Young and Orange Chicken are great.

Been looking for a local go-​to for Chinese food and may have found it here. Decent price, friendly staff, quick service and tasty food.
Ordered Mu Shoo Pork and Sautéed Green Beans and was very happy with both. Flavorful stuff, and very generous dinner portions.
Imperial Wok is Your typical hole-​in-​the-​wall sort of location. You’d miss the sign if your not looking hard. We went expecting to order takeout but stayed since the décor was actually pretty nice and the place was well kept. Been missing Yat Ka Mein since it closed and Silver Wok since the change in ownership, but Imperial Wok should fill the gap in cheap, easy Chinese cuisine quite nicely.

Good Chinese food! I’d definitely go back! I would give it a 4.5 star rating! :)
