About Imperial Express

Imperial Express is a popular restaurant located in a predominantly Latino neighborhood, known for its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. The staff, who are fluent in Spanish, treat customers like family. The menu offers generous portions at reasonable prices, with standout dishes including Orange Chicken and Chow Mein. The restaurant has been serving the community for over 20 years and is known for its cleanliness and friendly service. Customers often mention the orange chicken as a favorite—crispy, flavorful, and overstuffed plates. Although the portions are sometimes described as small, they are filling, and the food remains satisfying. The service is consistently friendly and fast, making it a true hidden gem that continues to stand the test of time. Customers are advised to bring cash, as the restaurant is CASH ONLY, but nearby ATMs are available. Despite its small size and limited parking, visitors keep returning for the high-quality food and inviting ambiance.
