Imperial Garden

Ordered Orange Chicken dinner and General Tso’s lunch combo as a take out. What we received was 5 pieces in each dish of deep fried chicken balls of mush with some strange bits. No veg, no soup, no egg roll. 2 small scoops of brown rice which you are charged extra for. $ 21 and it ended up in the trash.

The only place in the area that has Ho Fen (chow fun) and the hot mustard is out of this world. Top notch chinese food for the area. The capital chicken is very delicious as well. Definitely check this place out.

This was the worst Asian food we have had in the greater Youngstown area.
First of all, they were unwilling to accommodate for any type of children’s portion, but this was just the beginning of an overall terrible dinner.
When I tried to confirm how my food would be prepared, I was led to believe it was completely different than the soggy mess presented to me. Once told that I didn’t like my dish, the waitress proceeded to tell us that the owner will not do anything about it — including charging full price for a plate with a ½ a bite taken from it.
My husbands dish was equally unappetizing and the food was FAR too salty overall. It most certainly contained MSG and we are trying to recover the evening — thirsty and hungry after paying a full bill and leaving.

I had to get take out since they don’t deliver but it was well worth the ride. Crab ragoons fresh and crispy. The General Tso’s chicken was fabulous. The fresh sliced ginger on top and fresh broccoli added to the flavor. The portion was big enough for two! The staff were friendly and my food was ready when I arrived. My only suggestion is to add another fortune cookie to each order. One isn’t enough.

The food is descent if you like MSG. They claim they don’t use it but that’s not true. They drown their cheap quality meat in so much sauce to disguise the taste. The woman owner is rude and unaccommodating … DO NOT ASK TO PUT THE SAUCE ON THE SIDE!
Be sure to check your bill… If she THINKS you won’t leave a tip…
She’ll ADD ONE ON!
That’s against the law.. . unless stated on the menu. It’s not.
She will also charge extra for togo containers… ?
They do a brisk take out business. There were three tables including ours but apparently she was overwhelmed. When asked if she would put the sauce on the side… She did not want to ask the cook (her husband) for this. ’ special request ‘. It was for my youngest son… and she said. «If you want chicken nuggets for your kid… Go to McDonald’s!!! » …we would’ve been better off.
This is not the first time she was rude to me and countless others… But it will be the last. There is better Chinese food in the area… With owners who are accommodating, warm, friendly and happy to have your business. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

The BEST place I’ve encountered in Youngstown. The family is absolutely amazing… I am treated like a star every time I come in. The food is wonderful, and I try something new every time. If you like great food and amazing service, this is the place! Try the sizzling beef and scallop plate; my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Imperial garden is an amazing place to go. Whenever I am home to visit family we go. Best Chinese food ever. Portions large and owner is so nice. Don’t let the prices scare you off because it’s more than your average Chinese place. It’s worth every penny, your portion is large the pieces of beef or chicken are huge
You can tell it is made fresh. Love this place

Very courteous staff who answers & takes orders over the phone.
Their wonton soup is the best we’ve ever had, hands down! (Just one time the broth was quite spicy that made it quite difficult to eat… Even for my husband who’s usually ok with mild spicy foods couldn’t eat the soup) I truly think it was not intentionally meant to be spicy.
But do try their wonton soup! It’s delicious!
The reason I gave this 3-​stars is because their sweet/​sour dishes literally swims in cloyingly & overly sweet sauce.
We aren’t sure if the chicken, beef, pork are truly such. The texture, taste is way off for it to be called chicken — or beef —-, et.
Their Lo mein is usually quite good.
I’m very allergic to ground grown mushrooms. They require extra charges to make sure there’s no cross contamination. I do not mind paying the extra charges. I just wish more places focused on such sensitivities concerning cross contamination.

The best Chinese I’ve ever had. I’ve ordered from here since they first opened up, and nothing ever compares

We eat here often. We love the food and the family atmosphere. The General Tso is out of this world good. Their Crab Rangoon is homemade and delicious. Please come and try it out!

I went here for the first time today. I have always heard good things. I was really pleased with my experience here. The owner was very friendly. I started with the Won Ton soup and it was great. I liked how it had a little spice to it. I then had the General Tso’s and white rice. You can get the spicy dishes mild, medium, or hot. I got it hot and it wasn’t to bad of heat. The chicken comes in bigger pieces then other Chinese places. I will definitely be back. I think I found my new favorite Chinese place!

Good place, food is pretty good. Service is so/​so. I go their once in awhile for a quick meal. Try it. Complained about a hair, in my food. Owner got mad and took the waitress tip.

We were trying to find a place, which could accommodate a vegetarian and a man with dietary restrictions (Crohn’s disease)
They had both — vegetarian options and lean dishes! (Meat lovers, they had all your favorite dishes as well!)
On top of the good menu selection, service was very good, kind and attentive.
Very friendly stuff, highly recommended!

Make no mistake, the food is good. Service can be spotty. My pet peeve, they put a $ 10 minimum on credit cards. No one I know carries cash. Lunch can be $ 5 – 7, add a drink and tip, you are there. But I only drink water, everywhere including home. I have been told a vendor cannot «choose» to put a minimum if they take credit cards. For this reason, I am just an ok fan.

This place really is «as good as it gets» around here. I absolutely love their garlic sauce (medium spicy). They will prepare your dish however you want it and at no extra charge. We mainly get veggie dishes but Ive tried the chicken and must say that it isnt bad. But the vegetables are wonderful! Always crisp and fresh!

Food was good but over priced. Waiter made it seem like it was the best Chinese we would ever have. It wasn’t. Main house specialty doesn’t come with any sides. Waited almost an hour for food on a Monday night. There are other Chinese restaurants close with better and more food for less money.

I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars. It’s not quite 4 stars. I’ve been a few times and came away in the past with a better impression than this evening.
But, the food is good. The service is ok.
The Kung Pao shrimp was good. Mildly spicy, the vegetables were a little overcooked. The shrimp was good for being inland like we are here. The rice was good. The sauce was good, but could have been spicier. The peanuts, well, I love peanuts.
The wife’s Szechuan Shrimp was sweeter than spicy. The broccoli was good, but again, the vegetables were overcooked.
They have Sake, Plum wine, Tsingtao, Sapporo and a few wines. Prices are reasonable, most dishes ranging from $ 9-​$ 14.
They do a brisk takeout. Parking and access to the parking area is tricky. It’s better if you approach from the north on Tippy or Lockwood, rather than from 224. The left turn into the little shopping center is life-​threatening.
Overall, this is one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in the area. Shanghai River, just down 224, is the next place to get a return trip.
