Love the food here, delicious and great staff, especially Diane
I got my order to go. But, I used to walk there when I lived around the corner from there. It was GREAT, then. And, it's still GREAT!!! OMG! The portions are huge. The food is 5 star quality. And, the staff.is friendly. Overall, a wonderful experience.
I had a great experience. Mandarin chicken was ordered by other guys and they raved about it. My Generals chicken was much better than others Ive had elsewhere. The chicken wasn't 75% batter that is tough to chew like some other places. I recommend over any other Chinese restaurant in the near area.

Cathay Imperial in Metairie is a hidden gem for Chinese food lovers. The friendly staff knows regulars by name, creating a welcoming atmosphere. While some miss the old fried rice style, the menu still offers delicious options like Special Lo Mein, Mongolian Beef, and Egg Drop Soup. Unique dishes like Shrimp and Bacon Cantonese stand out, alongside classics like Egg Rolls, Egg Foo Young, and Mandarin Chicken. A go-to spot for a satisfying Chinese meal.
