“I was very impressed with this place. I didn't quite know what to expect but everything was delicious. We ordered the sweet corn soup with chicken which was so delicious the flavor was well balanced. We also ordered the chili french fries in the Haka noodles with chicken. I can't wait to come back and try the food again. The service was great and it was very affordable.“

“Imperial Garden Chinese Restaurant is located in the Greystone Shopping Center in Raleigh, on the left side of Food Lion.
Imperial Garden has long been my go-to place for Chinese food, but over my last few visits, I have noticed that the quality of the meat has gone down

The restaurant layout is split into two rooms. The first room features booths and an elevated seating section, while the second room has tables for larger groups. The decor is simple and traditional.

The service here is still very good. Although I haven't gotten my favorite waitress during my last few visits, she made a point to come over and talk to me this last time. She even remembered my exact order and that I like it prepared without onions, which I truly appreciated!

Unfortunately, the beef itself seemed a little rubbery. A few of the pieces were completely fine, so I am not sure whether the meat was just overcooked or had sat under a heat lamp too long before being served. The fried rice seemed better than ever, though, as was the eggroll. I think I will need to start trying some new vegetarian or alternative dishes here on my next visits to avoid the meat, as I still really enjoy the local atmosphere and excellent service.“

“We ordered take out from here for the first time, it was great! The egg rolls were amazing (+ whatever the sauce is that they give you, yummmmmy!). We got the general tso’s chicken and burger, they were both 10/10. Not to mention that the owner/worker was so nice. We will be back!“

“The food is really great! Definitely the real deal Asian! Great food“

“Reviews all said excellent. 4 new believers. Each dish was excellent and great portions“

“I order my food did not have enoff money for a drink so I was going to eat my food in my car since I had water in my car the lady gave me a free water so I could eat inside that was so nice of her made me feel real good thank you again amd the food was amazing“

“Ordered Singapore chow mein, lo mein, crab Rangoons and General Tso's for the first time from China Won (delivery). Hey, don't judge my tastes! Anyway, this may be the best Chinese I've had in the area, and I've lived here almost 30 years. We got it after 8pm, and it was fresh and piping hot (credit to dasher too), with very good portion size. Far exceeded expectations - be forewarned, the food was spicier than I'm used to. Great for me, some people might find it too much. The only thing I would love to see is more broccoli in the General Tso's and more crab in the Rangoon.“

“I’ve been going here since I was a little kid, and it was my parent’s first date spot after immigrating years ago. They have always been consistent with the food quality and their efforts to maintain cleanliness and care are noticeable, even if the area around the restaurant is a little sketchy. The restaurant owner talks about how he’s seen me grow up, and my parents talk about they’ve seen his son grow up. It’s obvious the owner cares about his customers. I’ve moved out to college in UNCC now, but even in my dinky apartment over 100 miles away I crave Wang’s kitchen.“

“This spot is quiet and spacious—such a nice vibe for dining in! The food tastes way better here than it does takeout, honestly. And the chefs are so thoughtful they even cooked the veggies extra soft just for my mom’s teeth. Total gem of a place with the sweetest service!“

“CLEAN THE BATHROOMS!“

“I’m so glad I’ve FINALLY found a good Chinese take out place in Raleigh. This is honest to god down to earth good old Americanized Chinese food. The general tso’s was actually flavorful and SPICY! The combos come with PORK fried rice for no extra charge! The food is reasonably priced! I will be back!“

“Really good dim sum in raleigh. Loved everything I previously ordered: shrimp dumplings, sesame balls, steamed egg custard buns, siu mai, and the spring rolls. my favorite was lotus leaf that has the rice and pork wrapped inside. SOOO GOOD.“

“My daughter and I love this place!!“

“Delicious food and great portions“

“The Pad Thai and the Dan Dan Noodles are delicious! The service is always very fast. Nice atmosphere where music playing overhead. I definitely recommend.“

“I had the best experience of my life there. The people are so nice and the food is amazing. All I was thinking of when I couldn’t eat was I really crave some fried rice with fried chicken. This is the best place I’ve ever eaten in my entire existence. In my whole life I have never eaten anything better than their food.“

“I use to work walking distance from Peace. Now, I travel from Wake Forest to get some lo mein.“

“I discovered Red Dragon shortly after moving to Raleigh and I'm so glad I did. It's some of the best General Tso's Chicken I have had. I'd put it up against Chinese cuisine I've had in London, Chicago, LA. Great service, great atmosphere, generous portions!“

“As another reviewer said, if you're from the NJ or NY area, this is the kind of Chinese food you are looking for. The smell alone when I walked in told me exactly what I needed to know that I finally found the Chinese food restaurant that I was going to enjoy. It also has the exact atmosphere that I'm looking for in a Chinese restaurant, one that tells me that the food is so good they don't got to do nothing to the building. It just shows that they've been there for a long time and are doing all the right things.
And let me tell you it absolutely was just as good as I thought it was going to be. The egg roll was nice and crispy on the outside but not overdone, just so good. I have not had one like this in years. I appreciate y'all so much!
The gentleman at the counter was so kind and so sweet when I ordered my food. I also appreciated that my food was done very fast and just the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice.“

“This China Wok has been in business since before I moved to Raleigh in 1992, and for it to still be in business in 2025 wow. I remember the food bring sooo good. My mother is from NY, and she said this was the closes thing to her beloved NY city Chinese food. I love this for them. I really want to plan a trip just to get some wings and fried rice.“

“The won ton soup and fried rice are delicious. The won ton soup is best I’ve found in area and the rice is fresh and tastes delicious. I get extra onions in conjunction with the carrots and peas that come in it. They definitely don’t disappoint on the amount of onions. Delicious!!! Ty Jumbo China!“

“I was a walk-in today and ordered my food to go. While waiting I stepped into Food Lion for groceries. When I returned, my food was packaged, hot, and ready to go. Once home and settled, I realized I was missing one of the sauces that normally accompanied one of the dishes I ordered. Without saying too much more on here, I can say that not only did China Moon make it right, but they went above and beyond in doing so. Customer service is alive and well at China Moon! In addition to their large portions and great flavor, I do recommend them for feeding your Chinese food craves. They’re A++++ in my book.“

“Fabulous lunch!! Service was excellent and food Sven better“

“Best crab Rangoon, best shrimp fried rice, best chicken Lo mein in the area. Hands down! Also, really awesome people working the front and back of the restaurant for both take out and dine-in experiences.“

“First time going here. I’d been craving Chinese American food for a while and this place is really close to where I live. The servings are large, great value, and great taste. The teriyaki chicken skewers are tender and slightly crispy, chicken is delicious and has extra sauce that I like to use for my rice. Also the rice came in a classic white box with the metal handle, I feel like I never see those anymore so that was cool. Definitely would go back“

“eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious, spicy too!“

“The food is always delicious. The only thing we add at the table is soy sauce.“

“It was my first time and was looking to grab something to eat quickly. It wasn't in the best part of town(right off south saunders) but it was a very good portion. I got the lomein(delicious) with chicken wings and the house fried rice with mongolian beef which was tasty but loaded with way more celery,greenpeppers,greenonion,onion than actual beef. For the price i would definitely patronize them if im back on that side of town“

“By far my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area now.
First ordered them on doordash, late one evening. I knew with it being close to closing I was taking a gamble but I'm really glad I did. I've spent the past year trying other restaurants (most multiple times) around me and have been very disappointed in the quality of the sweet and sour chicken. It's always mostly breading and overcooked/hard/dry.
But I was very impressed with China Queen's, even as a delivery order 10-15 min away! Their's is made with big chunks of chicken, and the breading isn't overbearing at all! Always perfectly cooked so far!
I've ordered from them 5 times now and the quality of everything has consistently been perfect! We get the beef and broccoli with lo mein, sweet & sour chicken, pork fried rice, pork egg rolls, and crab ragoons every time. Their pork fried rice is honestly some of the best I've had! Looks like big pieces of rib meat in the rice.
Love their crab ragoons, I will say; I wish they were a tad bigger or had more filling but they're still amazing nonetheless.

They are now our go to for chinese food!“

“One of the best, if not the best, bang for your buck downtown Raleigh lunch. For less than $11 they will stack a tray full of rice, chicken, and 2 spring rolls. Can't beat the amount of food for the price in downtown Raleigh. Also I would not give it 5 stars if it was bad food. It is pretty pretty good. Sesame chicken and general tso really hit the spot. I recommend this place.Don't order online like the bad reviews I've seen having bad experiences with that. Just walk in. It takes less than a minute to get a tray and pay“

“Totally awesome. I rate it five stars!
Parents got delicious food I had fried rice and spring rolls and an egg roll! The Jell-O was… Totally hard to eat!!! I didn’t eat my slice of chocolate cake much.
And now I am sitting on couch feeling extremely stuffed!!!
The fried rice was extremely yummy!
So people of America! Come here now and I mean it!“

“it’s typical american takeout chinese food and it’s excellent. portions are huge and fairly priced. service depends on who you get up front, but honestly, who cares. i’ve been here 10+ times and it’s never missed“

“Went there for the first time on 2/14/2025. Ordered take-out from the dinner menu. Had the combination Hunan Chicken, sesame chicken, lo mein, crab Rangoon, & hot & sour soup. The flavors were all great!!! There is only one set back I want to mention…. “The Lo Mein” is not my preferred dish & will not order it ever again. The noodles were spaghetti noodles & does not do any justice to the dish. I was told my order was will be ready in 30 mins (I know it’s an estimate) but I got there 30 mins later & waited an additional 30 + mins….

Parking: I couldn’t find the place cause their lights were off. The parking was hard to get in & out due to heavy traffic (went around 6pm).“

“Great people, great food! Always a go to in our family, a must try. Local business, our families favorite place in Raleigh!“

“Best damn chinese in this town and I go way back. Jung's Far East, Shanghi, Jin Yuan. Always polite, professional and friendly. Food is uncompromisingly excellent !“

“I had a gift card given to me some 1.5 years ago, and just today made my way to the store! Felt adventurous and was craving some tropical fruits. I was blown away by the variety of exotic fruits, and the extensive choice of fish. The store is, certainly, a cultural experience! My 10-year-old and I each got a smoothie - mango and pear, but I feel curious about many of the other drinks and desserts that I’d love to try. They, also, have cooked/hot food there and will bring my husband next time since he loves Asian food. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I have been eating here for the last maybe 15 years. This is my go-to place, my daughter would call me and ask me to bring in food when I leave work in Cary and drive home to Youngsville, NC(Franklin Co.). When I get home, the food is still nice and hot. It's so good, that when I wanted Hong Kong, I would drive from home, BACK to Cary to get it. Either way, it's worth it.“

“This is a family owned and operated business. They are trying very hard to please people, but some people can NOT be pleased. Everyone here is very kind, and the food is very good. Service is above standard. I have read comments on how some people don't "like" this food. That is an individual opinion. Please don't leave bad comments about the entire store just because YOU don't personally like the taste. That has NOTHING to do with anything. As far as the child (I read another comment about a child misbehaving), so it's OK for customers to bring unruly children to a restaurant, but not ok for a restaurant owners' young child to have a bad day? Do not be judging others until you, yourself are free of faults. There is nothing wrong with this business. Thank you for being here and giving us a place to eat. :)“

“Just moved to Wake Forest, tried some Chinese take out food and this place didn’t disappoint at all. It is located in good location, next to a movie theater.
I tried my favorite dish boneless spare ribs with fried rice as always.“

“Always had delivery. Only every ordered the wings or pupu plater until recently. There food is good and open LATE. I get the wings with sweet and sour sauce and hot chili oil. The fried rice is plain. I like eggs in mine. Been eating here since I moved here 1 year ago“

“Didn’t wait long to pick up my online order pretty quick service. After I got home to my surprise the food was very hot and fresh. The crab ragoons were delicious and crispy. Same with the fried rice and beef w. Oyster sauce. Definitely coming back! ^.^“

“You want shrimp fried rice??? Ok 15 minutes!! The food is always hot and delicious and the Lil lady behind the window is gilarious..hilarious... she doesn't take anyone messing with her

Parking: Please ty of parking! Just beware of the local homeless people begging g for money. Some can be too much“

“This is a great option for Chinese food! It’s between the shell gas station and library. I have been going here for many years now. I would recommend the sesame chicken! It was impressive. They are remodeling the store now and it looks good!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

👍👍👍“

“The place does not disappoint, the food is fire, and it has become my go-to Chinese takeout spot. The food is made to order so if come out hot and fresh. It’s not greasy, really flavorful and well seasoned. The chicken is always juicy yet crispy. We usually get the general tso’s chicken, house special egg fu young, house special lo mein, shrimp egg rolls, chicken wings and steamed pork dumplings - all of it is soo good, and way better than the last 3 Chinese restaurants in the area that we tried before finding this spot.“

“The food was really good. Not many places offer general tso shrimp. Food was flavorful, I bought several dinners and did not expect it to be 80 bucks out the door but damn was it good. I had shrimp lo mein, reg house lo mein, shrimp tso, egg rolls, sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken and it was amazing. Came with white rice and it was good too. Just some out of towners starving for good Chinese and im not even mad about the bill. Very good reheated too.“

“I absolutely loved everything I ordered! I got the Bourbon Chicken, chicken wings with beef fries, General Tso’s Chicken, and more. Everything was fresh and delicious. Since I ate it right away, the chicken was perfectly crispy, and the rice is honestly the best I’ve had around here!

The restaurant was also very clean, and they had a 100 sanitation rating, which was really impressive. This is definitely one of the cleanest and best restaurants I’ve been to. I highly recommend it!“
