Great food, great people. The comments suggested the salt n pepa wings and Singapore noodles are good so I tried thems, both are great.

The dine in experience is admittedly mid, BUT they do have a small shrine in a corner to San Shin, the mountain god deity worshipped in the times since before Mahayana Buddhism spread throughout China and Korea. San Shin has its roots in ancient shamanism. If you want some extra luck, bow to it and say “San Wang Dae San Shin” 9 times. You may even need to prostrate yourself, based on your Luck stat.

The salt and pepper wings need more flavor. Add more chilli flakes. Definitely the Golden chopsticks are much better

pretty good, another chinese food spot. a little dalty on the dishes, esp the chow mein/lo mein and salted pepper chicken wings, but overall decent as long as they keep their cheaper price against other popular chinese food in the area.

Used to always go to Royal Mandarin for Salt and Pepper chicken wings...won't be going there anymore. Imperial Palace has a crispier wing and they make them fresh to order. Not in batches like at Royal Mandarin. The salt and pepper shrimp is good but the breading is a bit much and retains a ton of the oil. You will want a nap after th salt and pepper shrimp. Still good though and very flavorful.

Came for dine in on Christmas Eve and it was SO incredible (also very thankful that they were open on christmas eve). We got beef lo mein, orange chicken, and dumplings and they were all great. Some of the best lo mein i have had in a while. The portion sizes were great, we have leftovers for lunch now. Service was amazing everyone was so sweet and attentive. Definitely will be back!

I love the food here! It's a South Bay staple. The salt and pepper wings are the favorite, they never disappoint. We also ordered Mongolian beef, cream cheese wontons, and the orange chicken. Everything was on point. Also, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive and kept our water full. You won't leave hungry if you order a family meal. I can't wait to come back. Eat up!!!

Came for the Salt and Pepper Wings and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The food came out so well and the crunch on the wings and shrimp were so crispy and light.

Went here about two weeks ago and I ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings and the salt and pepper shrimp. It came with a side of rice . Wings are super delicious and I would say this is spot to go for salt and pepper wings ! The shrimp was cool, I’m just not a fan of the coating around it. I found it kind of sweet tasting & the batter was a bit too doughy for me. I’m definitely interested in coming back here to taste some other dishes they prepare. Customer Service was awesome. Young man was in the front and very professional & polite. Parking lot is shared in the plaza and it’s free.
