Top notch. My two guests and I enjoyed the meal and the service, though service may have seemed slow, we all agreed that the food was very, very fresh.... and the egg rolls were very large, very fresh, and even had little shrimp in them, which I thought were wonderful. I had me some moo-goo gai-pan, which had a faint peanut taste on the first bite (after all, one of the main ingredients is peanuts, anyway); but after that first bite, the multiple flavors blended into a chorus of an excellent dish. My guests had a Happy Family type of dish and a Shrimp and Scallop dish. Both, many a times, complimented their choices. The one drawback, perhaps, was some of the service. We were the only patrons in the restaurant (though there were many and many pick-up orders). The first "waitress" was an elderly Chinese woman who spoke very broken English, who a few times "down-selled" us, telling me for one that the moo-goo didnt have option of shrimp on the side; and she walked away, kinda, as we were in hindsight desirous of having egg rolls added as an appetizer. Though she was not rude in the least, it was a little difficult to communicate at times. And after the elderly lady waitress, we are served by a (3rd-generation) waiter, who sometimes was so busy with takeout orders that he could hardly keep up with our requests for water and tea. The hot mustard sauce that came with the egg rolls was hot - horseradish-hot! but sooooo good. I highly recommend this little hole in the wall for those who have time enjoy it. It was a very pleasant experience. It might look and seem like a little humble establishment (compared to some Chinese restaurants, which may be more extravagant in dress and furnishings), but the scene and especially the meal itself had a genuine feel and taste of authenticity hard to find. I look forward to eating here, again, please.

Theyre slow, and they lie. My daughter and I placed a delivery order. The person on the phone said it would be 45 minutes. After an hour, I called to check on the status. The same person said the driver was on the way and should be there any minute. Thirty minutes later--a full 45 minutes after the food was supposed to be delivered--I called again and was told the driver had just left. I cancelled the order and took my hungry child to the closest restaurant to our hotel. The whole time I was on the phone, the person at the restaurant repeated, "He on the way. He on the way." Im so glad I intended to pay with cash and didnt offer my credit card! I understand that things can get backed up, but to blatantly lie is another matter all together.

We been here several times and its been years since we ate here. The building itself has seen better days but its the food you go for and the take-out we got was very very good! They have been in Ashland forever and you may think because they dont have many cars in the front that they are not good. I think most people go for the take-out.We got the homemade egg rolls which were crispy - large - and had a very good taste. The vegetable LoMein had good flavor and was fresh. We had the pork with Garlic sauce that was the best weve had in a long time. Weve gotten this dish at the other Chinese restaurants in Ashland. This one tasted the best. We will be trying them again. The prices are reasonable too.

Exceeded expectations! I had yummy sweet Sakara plum wine, egg drop soup (aka egg flower soup), water chestnuts and snow peas. BF had shrimp toast and honey shrimp and beer (served with white rice - no additional charge. All of it was delicious. We had fresh orange slices and fortune cookies for desert for no additional cost. Dont expect too much conversation from the elderly lady- English is a struggle for her. But she was very pleasant with us. The menu on this website is not nearly as extensive as the menu she gave us. The portions were large, we did not finish our entres. It was an easy walk from our hotel Sleep Inn & Suites in Ashland VA.

We love this place. I cant name a dish that my family doesnt love. The old lady is an amazing cook but sometimes seems to be overwhelmed. I swear a few times they didnt start cooking till I walked in, 30min after phoning it in, but its so good it keeps us coming back. My personal favorite dish is pork egg foo young. We had friends over from another county and they drove an hour back here to Ashland another day to get more they liked it so much. And we made my neighbor go here against his will and he has since converted to Imperial as his local chinese.

Even though this Chinese restaurant looks wicked sketchy from the outside and inside, my boyfriend and I decided to give it a try. And we LOVED it. The food was really cheap, and very tasty. The man who served up was also very nice and accommodating. Even if you are scared to try this place, I highly suggest it for the food and price.

Just got delivery to my hotel... The food is absolutely great. I travel a lot for work and am usually disappointed by the chinese food I get delivered. But this place exceeded all my hopes... The Gen Tsos is so good, also the shrimp roll is great. I usually dont leave reviews, but felt the need to after tasting the food.

My girlfriend and I wanted something good to eat after a long day at Kings Dominion so we decided to get some Chinese food. This menu was in our hotel so we thought why not try it out. Food was absolutely amazing. Very Fresh with good size portions. Pricing was also very good. Definitely Recommend!

Absolutely disgusting. My girlfriend and I both love Chinese food, and from the shrimp fried rice to the egg roll it was all gross. Never had Chinese food that even looked like the stuff they feed you here. Currently sitting in the booth wondering if Im going to walk out or na.

Dont waste your time trying to call ahead and place an order for pick up or delivery because ABSOLUTELY NOBODY IS GOING TO ANSWER THE PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call as many times as you want from as many different numbers as you want, it makes no difference.

There was literally no-one dining in the place and they were turning away customers saying it would be a 45-60 min wait. Also smelled pretty funky inside. Guess there is no good Chinese food in Ashland.
