Imperial Palace - Edinburgh, City of

First time at this restaurant and it will be the last. The food was the worst Chinese food I have ever had absolutely disgusting. Main meals very over priced £19 for main meal without rice or chips. The restaurant itself is like a canteen so bright not even any background music absolutely no atmosphere at all . Carpets filthy need replaced chairs have horrible covers on them don’t know why . We have been eating Chinese food for over 50 years and never had anything like it before. Traveled from other side of town a complete waste of time and money. If you’re thinking of going give it a wide berth.

Visited last night on a recommendation from 2 people who have previously eaten here was expecting big things. This was probably the worst Chinese meal I have had same for the 3 other guests who were with me .Started with peking ribs hardly any meat on them and tough wife had chicken wings no taste whatsoever brother in law had spring rolls gave them a pass mark just .Onto main meal duck sechaun style found about 4 pieces of duck the rest was all just veg duck was very tough wife had a special curry left more than she eat beef in curry was so tough to eat other lady in the company had special curry also chicken still had the skin on it disgusting. The only decent thing any of us had to eat was the chips and prawn crackers .To top it all off gets the bill for £180 odd pound with a £17.00 service charge on it that was very quickly taken off the bill when I pointed out I would not be paying it .Very very dissapointed in last night's food if I could give it zero out of 10 I would

I don't usually review places in my own city but the Imperial Palace in Inglis Green Road deserves a comment. Although it is a little out of the centre it is the best place to have a working business lunch with traditional Dim Sum, accompanied of course by Chinese Tea. Efficient and friendly, experienced staff with great service. Can't fault it.

Large Chinese restaurant with traditional facade. Large open area for dining inside fairly basic with little decoration. Mixture of round tables for groups and smaller tables for couples. Very popular with local Chinese population. Good mix of traditional Chinese food from various regions and more limited carry out menu. Staff are efficient. Good value.

Booked in here based on Tripadvisor and when walking in, thought we had been transported to Beijing. About 90% of the hundred or so diners were Oriental. A great sign that authentic food was on offer. Based on others feed back on portion size, the 5 adults and child, had a half crispy duck (accompanied by a superb sauce) a d 3 mains with a couple of starters between us. The food was more than ample, tasted wonderful and bearing in mind feedback on pricing, our bill (which included drinks) came to under £130 not too bad in my opinion given the quality the food. Would certainly go back!
