Imperial Palace Express — Restaurant in Grand Island

Really wasn't impressed. To start with, we tried to put our order in on the website but completing the purchase raised all kinds of red flags via our banks (we tried two different cards and both were declined/flagged). Secondly - the images on the web site aren't even remotely similar to what is being offered. I know menu images in general tend to be misleading at times, but this wasn't even close. I ordered orange chicken because, based on the image, the chicken isn't breaded and I'm keto so I don't want breaded meats. Well, nothing close to that (see pictures). The meat was definitely breaded.

As to the food, it was just ok. There just wasn't a lot of flavor there. It wasn't bad - but I would honestly choose Panda Express over this for the flavor profiles. We also ordered the sweet & sour chicken and an egg roll. About the only thing that I could say was enjoyable was the fortune cookie at the end.

The reason they got 3 stars instead of 2 is because portion size was good relative to the price point. They were also nice and made ordering over the phone easy and the food was...

Worst Chinese food I ever had. Ordered combination platter which you could pick 2 menu items. Went with Imperial Shrimp and General Tso’s chicken with lo mein. paid $13 tax included (menu said $9.99). Got back to my hotel room and realized they gave me Beef and broccoli instead of general tso’s chicken. Whatever let’s taste this. The slimy lo mein was disgusting. Tasted sweet with zero additional ingredients in there, ate 2 bites and had no desire for more. The imperial shrimp was ok. The shrimp were fried but they were soggy and limp from all the sauce. The beef was chewy. I didn’t know what flavors I was getting since everything was drenched in their gelatinous sauce. The lunch rush was busy, I expected better with the amount of people eating there but was very disappointed. Quality was low and yes it could be a cheap meal but my meal wasn’t cheap which made me even more...

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 – An Interesting Stop, But Just OK

Stopped in at this small hometown Chinese restaurant hoping for a hidden gem. It was an interesting experience, but the food was just okay. The fried rice had large clumps of plain white rice with very little seasoning, which made it fall flat. The orange chicken had a nice tangy flavor, but the chicken itself was overcooked and nearly burnt. The rest of the meal was fine, but nothing stood out. Friendly enough atmosphere, but I was hoping for a bit more in terms of flavor...
