Imperial China - Lethbridge, Alberta

This was by far the worst Chinese food my husband and I have ever had. The ginger beef is inedible, shoe leather. The chicken fried rice has no flavour and the egg rolls were completely overcooked. 50 bucks!! We would’ve rather spent 20 at McDonald’s or any other fast food ... restaurant any day. The only positive about this place was the lady who took our order. Super disappointed! Read more

The food was terrible. I'm not sure what the ginger beef really was, but there was no ginger taste to it, I couldn't eat them . The ribs were mostly fat, and the chicken balls were mostly batter. The waitress was awesome, but the food is not worth a return ... trip. Read more

Imperial China has by FAR the best buffet in Lethbridge. I am an avid Chinese food lover and was introduced to this restaurant recently. I was more than happily surprised by the food and service. The food is fresh, well seasoned, not overly greasy compared to other restaurants and offers a ... great variety of options. The staff always smiled when making eye contact, and were eager to provide a great experience. The only downfall to this location is the parking lot, it can be difficult to manoeuvre in a large vehicle. Other than that the restaurant is clean, service is great, and the food is excellent.

Without a doubt, the best tasting Chinese food in town. The best chicken chow mein. The best ginger beef. The best pineapple chicken. The problem is they don’t seem to have any consistency in their operating hours and they are often closed for long periods of time for no apparent ... reason. They also don’t offer in-house delivery. BIG drawback. Only three stars because of all that. 😞 Read more

I went to the Imperial for the first time, given that I was a visitor from Calgary. My friends and I enjoyed the buffet and cold beers. There was lots of variety at the buffet. The servers were helpful and very friendly. While the decor is very simple, it ... was well lit and very clean. Thank you for the lovely experience. Read more
