My wife took me to this place in an afternoon hour so we were the only one there. The environment is great although a small place but well-decorated. We ordered lobster stir-fried and clams. I have to say the chef did a great job. We really like the clams in spicy sauce. This remind me of the restaurant in New York China Town. I'd give a 5-star if they could offer some services.

This Chinese restaurant is the best! My grandparents have been eating here for years. Even when the management changed. They know the owners an servers by name and always says hi.Imperial inn has the BEST chicken fried rice. I have yet to find a Chinese restaurant that has better chicken fried rice. And they are fairly cheap. The chicken fried rice I get I usually take home most of it and get two more meals out of it. Plus me and my 6 relatives go there and never spend more than $50 AND we always have leftovers to spare.It's a great place and very yummy! I go see my grandparents just to go here.

After all this time, I think I finally found the Chinese restaurant I've been looking for. It's cheap, it's good, and the servings are huge.As you first enter, we are seated and given a tea pot and two cups. The tea is free so feel free to start drinking it all you want. I'm not a big fan of tea, but it is pretty weak so it tasted fine to me. They also give you chopsticks, but don't worry, a fork, knife, and spoon are on the way. They have the americanized Chinese menu plus a dim sum menu.I ordered the General Tsao's chicken which came with fried rice, an egg roll, soup, and 7 pieces of broccoli all for 6 dollars. Did I mention this is cheap...and the portion is huge.I got the wonton soup. It had two wontons which tasted fine, but the wontons were the only thing in the broth, still good though.The chicken is all white meat and tastes good. The sauce was sweeter than i expected from general tsao's. There is a small spice to it but not really noticeable. They do have a jar of hot oil that you can add to put a little more spice in your chicken. They give what seems like 2 cups of fried rice on the plate plus a fat egg roll. Btw, I did find some bits of shrimp in the egg roll so if you don't do shellfish, you have been warned.So it seems I found my spot for cheap Chinese food, but I'll keep looking around. So in summary, its cheap, its good, and they give you a lot of food. Come for lunch.

In a world of strip mall chinese and low quality buffets, its nice to find a place that serves great chinese food. Their seafood dishes and traditional chinese fare are incredible and VERY fresh, and their "mainstream" chinese dishes are also very good. I make trips to Cincy from Northern Kentucky as often as possible just to have a reason to go here to eat. Their prices are very reasonable?
