This restaurant has blown me away every time I've eaten here, both dining in and takeaway. Words can't do it justice, Everything tastes so fresh and the food comes out very quickly. The staff are also very nice and are quick to notice an empty glass, offering a refill. I will definitely be returning many, many times. Thank you for a great dining experience.

What a treasure this place is! We've eaten a good few Chinese meals over the years and this was one of the best. The staff were so attentive and friendly. There's a decent choice of everything. We had the set meal for two and to say the portions were generous is an understatement. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. Hope you go there, you won't be disappointed. The price was very reasonable too!

Had a couple of takeaways and ate in the restaurant tonight. We tried something different each time and all has been great and really tasty. Vegetarian options for my partner are fantastic and also very tasty and don’t all taste of sweet and sour like jasmine house! So nice to have a great Chinese restaurant to go to locally and not travel to London for good food. Well done!!

Hidden away and part of a local pub this place is a fantastic little Chinese takeaway that truly delivers on flavor and quality. From the moment I placed my order, the service was friendly and efficient, with my food ready exactly when promised. The dishes were fresh, piping hot, and packed with authentic flavors. The crispy duck was beautifully cooked with just the right amount of crunch, and the sweet and sour chicken was perfectly balanced—not overly sweet like some places tend to make it. The special fried rice was generously portioned and full of tasty ingredients, while the chips had just the right level of crisp. Every dish felt freshly made rather than mass-produced, and the portions were excellent value for money. It’s clear this place takes pride in its food. If you're in Harrietsham and looking for a great Chinese takeaway, I’d highly recommend giving this place a try. I’ll definitely be back for more!

We had a delicious takeaway from here this evening. A glass of wine in the bar whilst waiting and they brought it to our table, though we weren't quite ready so asked them to keep it hot which they happily did. Fantastic quality and great portions for the price. Highly recommend duck chow mein and the king prawn balls. Will defo be back! Restaurant was really busy and looked as though it has been redecorated to a very high standard! P.S. photo before sweet and sour sauce went on.

Imperial Palace is a recently new Chinese restaurant in the area, despite this the service and food is exceptional. I’ve visited a couple of times and on all occasions the staff have been welcoming and there was no wait time at all. My favourite thing about going to Imperial Palace is being able to enjoy my favourite takeaway orders in a restaurant. However they also do more authentic Chinese dishes and our favourites are Kai lan and Pak Choi in oyster sauce- really nice with some rice. I also think the price is amazing, honestly great value for the portion size. The service is also great and the staff have always been so accommodating of our different group sizes. Great place to eat out as a family, there’s everything for everyone
