We have been regularly getting food from Imperial Wok for our family of 7 for the past 5+ years. Of all the local Chinese food locations and buffet restaurants, the quality and taste of the food here is best. (1) The portions are right size (we get the dinners), (2) the price is about right, (3) they are fast (we tend to drive by the location and order, wait about 10-15 minutes) and take home the food. This is a family-owned and operated restaurants, mom, dad, and kids all work there (we've seen the kids grow up there). There is limited on-prem dining (maybe 4 tables/booths of 4 people). Our usual is: chicken with broccoli with added garlic sauce, beef with broccoli with added garlic sauce, the kids love the orange chicken.

Unfortunately my visit wasn’t the best. The food seems high priced (but might be competitively priced when comparing to other area Chinese ). I was expecting way better food quality for the prices. I would try other area Chinese food before coming back. There really isn’t much dining option inside here. It is more of a take out location.

We definitely have made it a family staple to come up here and get our Chinese 🍜 only from this place, the food is always fresh and hot and very flavorful, not to mention it's not too shabby on the portion really well, the staff is amazing and they always have a good attitude when you come to the door, not just for your order but overall in general and they're very helpful on what they do, I would say this is definitely why the number one places I would eat my Chinese 🥡and the timing was really nice! 🙂

This is my go to Door Dash delivery spot when I arrive in Rochester for appts. I typically order something different each time. But the regular egg rolls and the sugar donuts are always on the menu for us. This year though, the Egg Rolls are significantly smaller than before and their taste not quite the same. The mushroom chicken vegetables are wonderful. I ordered plain lo meun as a substitute for the fries rice. The noodles and and sauce are wonderful. My comment is that for some reason the whole meal tastes smokey...somewhere between liquid smoke and cigarette smoke. It was just a strange taste when I know how yummy this place is. I will give it a chance again next year as I love it is local family owned and they have been 110% perfection the prior years.

Wish they not put Chinese food like Mexican food in a bowl for being Asian from NW Rochester. Their customer seems to be Latino men.

Every selection I have had is great. Great prices, too. Family is nice. Wish they'd open one in a warmer climate, where I live. As it's approaching -17 overnight, so glad I moved.

Way overpriced for what you get. $42 for an order of orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken and crab rangoon. Price too high. Way better and more affordable options in town than this place. Small portions too.

Nothing special to be honest, the staff is super friendly though I will give them that, got two orders of Mei Fun and shrimp rolls and spring rolls, we couldn't even finish anything it just tasted rotten and made our stomachs upset,, sorry but we will not be back.

The food is really very good. I'm spoiled as I've lived in several areas (San Francisco and Washington, DC) with spectacular Chinese food, but this is my favorite place in Rochester. The service is fine. I've only ordered over the internet and the order is usually ready when I arrive or shortly after. They are always pleasant. There is no "ambiance". It is a take out place. Overall, the food is good, and they are consistent. I appreciate that.

This was exactly what I was looking for in my search for good cheap take out. Food was ready quick and was piping hot even when I got home. The rangoons were crispy, the chicken was saucy, and the fried rice had a delicious charred flavor that I've never had before. They even sent me home with a little gift.

Will order again! Huge fan of singapore rice noodles, but can be difficult to find and taste is often lacking. These are great! ordered medium spice. Dinner special under 'House Special Mei Fun.' Rice and side included.

Hmm where do I start. Let's start with the fact that they have a 10 year old(ish) boy and a 5 year old(ish) girl running the front the house including the cash register. We called for take out and guess who took our order? A young boy. Not sure how I feel about this.... And so the food. It was, well, nasty. The sauce tasted like something I have never had before and the chicken was weird and over chewy. 3 bites and it went in the trash. Never again will I order from here. I'm over here now waiting to see if I get sick. Hope not!

This place is the best cheap Chinese takeout place in Rochester. 8 rangoons for $5. For a $1.75 you can get a decent portion of Wonton soup added onto a special. Mine had 4 Wonton which is nuts for one person. Highly recommend their combos bc you get rice/noodles with a side. And their food never makes my stomach weird and I've got a pretty sensitive stomach. They're my go-to!!

Amazing! We have been in Rochester for a month. I have tried one other Chinese restaurant. We came from Connecticut. This is better than any place in CT. Well, there is one Chinese restaurant about a half-hour drive from us in CT that is as good. But this is GREAT food. And they deliver. Very satisfied!!! Oh, we had the Veg Egg Foo Yang, The Orange Tofu(amazing), Veg Fried Rice, and Spring Roll. All great!

Good late-night option when traveling through Rochester. It is different from most Chinese restaurants, but the food was excellent especially for the price and portion sizes. The restaurant itself is small and we preferred to get delivery. It's absolutely worth trying at least once, you may like the different style of food. My family liked it and we would eat it again if nearby.

The food wasn't horrible by any means. But definitely was not the best. It seemed to have flavor but still was "flavorless". The Kung Pao wasn't spicy and the chicken fried rice was bland.

I've done carry out here many times. It's never been spectacular but it's close to home. But I stopped in to pick up dinner last week and I'll never go back. Here's why. The woman that seems to always be there is a first class b. Not customer skills at all, but I've tolerated it because of the convenience. I have no idea what was going on this time, but when I got there to pick up my order, I walked in the door and the place just reeked of old oil. It really stunk. Don't know if the exhaust hood wasn't working or not. But I got home and tried the food and other than the white rice my entree was so oily I couldn't even eat it. $12 + went in the trash can. Sad!

It seems like a lot of problems have been with delivery - which I haven't ever done. I've never had issues when I call ahead and pick up. I've tried several of the fast food type Chinese places in Rochester and this one has the best fried rice by far (how can you mess up fried rice??) - which is why I'll keep going here.

Look up "utility Chinese fast food" in a dictionary and you'll find something like Imperial Wok. Typical of the Chinese food served at mall food courts throughout the US, you get oily food, deep fried meat drowned in heavy, starch-laden sauces that make you want to nap afterwards, and maybe a sore throat from what I suspect is MSG. Sadly this is what many people may think Chinese food tastes like. If you like the food here, please enjoy it - you can have my portion as well. 2 stars because they at least didn't give me food poisoning.

They are the only place in town that sells brown rice which is my staple! It takes too long to fix at home so I always order large and freeze the left over for next week. I like their chicken noodle soup. It comes with long wide noodles and a side of crispy noodles. The chicken broth is tasty too! I like their hot and sour soup as well. Sometimes I add it into my chicken noodle soup for a change up or I may add some of my brown rice to it. So good so far. Get the chicken wings they are tasty and a good value! Now, if I could only get them to sell bubble tea...

My 2nd order from Imperial Wok was very similar to the first. I was sick and couldn't cook or leave the house for food, so their extremely easy online ordering/delivery really saved the night. Amazing delivery and average food. The order: Wonton Soup - 2.5/5. It was orange... so a little different from what I'm used to. The wontons were good and the hot soup really hit the spot. Chicken & Broccoli - 3.5/5. Great fresh florets of broccoli. The chicken was a little chewy (probably a cheap cut of meat), but overall a good dish. Combined with white rice, the dish sat well on on upset stomach. Chicken Wings - 4/5 I added them to the order to get it up to $15 for delivery and ate them 2 days later. They warmed up really well.

Ordered delivery and order arrived within 20 minutes. Fast and very hot. Shrimp fried rice was excellent. Hot and Sour soup was a very hot temperature and great flavor. Broccoli Chicken was a huge serving and delivered hot and fresh. Very happy with the delivery service and quality of food.

If thats not enough to turn you off of this place my wife called to complain and they are so rude, they obviosly dont want bussiness. They deliver and that is all they have going in rochester because no other chinese place does. I wont be giving these folks another penny! You shouldnt waste your money either!

I've ordered from here numerous times without issues, and today ordered an orange chicken, general tsos, and Szechuan chicken. The general tsos was definitely made as orange chicken and I received two orange chicken instead of what I asked for. When I called to complain, the OWNER sat there and argued with me and very blatantly, without using the word, insinuated that I'm a liar despite me explain to him numerous times that it was wrong. THE OWNER ARGUED WITH ME ABOUT GETTING THE ORDER WRONG. Like, what? Then he passed the phone to the delivery employee who was very sweet and tried to make things right, but the only thing she could do was replace the order or come take and credit it back. We asked for egg rolls as compensation and they said no. There was no leeway to make this right and the owner was EXTREMELY disrespectful and argumentative. I will NOT be furthering my business here.

Yeah I have had numerous delivery's and they all have had multiple problems.! I just had shrimp and scallops with fried rice but no scallops can with my meal. I have had appetizers missing. I also don't like the idea of using staples in everything!! The driver is always very nice!

Nothing to brag about, at all.. ordered food for delivery. My food took over an hr to get to my house. I understand it's snowing and road conditions make it take a little longer. What I don't understand is my food was room temp. This place is 9 mins away from my house so that's unacceptable.Then I called and spoke with the supervisor and he didn't even apologize. In fact, he told me to pick it up next time..? Dude get real, you will not be getting my business again. If you love waiting for warm food, this'll be your favorite place!

We ordered delivery but once again it changed to pick up. I called to ask them to deliver - we live 1 1/2 blocks from the restaurant. They were in a hurry on the phone but polite and said they would have to add a delivery fee. I said that was fine. When the driver delivered the food he was rude and yelled in an Asian language at my son. This was uncalled for and will have us going elsewhere from now on.

Yes, I know it is a small store front in a strip mall, and it has nothing going for it in terms of atmosphere. But for Chinese takeout food, it has excellent ingredients and lots of cooking skill and experience. Never disappoints, and your food is available to take home -- hot and fresh -- quickly.

It was terrible! Food bland , tso's chicken, spare ribs taste the same . Just sweet! Fried rice just tasted old . And the cook was the cashier , and I was NOT happy to see him handle the cash register to go back in the kitchen without washing his hands , and handle food! Thank goodness he cooked it NEVER again .

I hate to give bad reviews but we ordered four different things and everything was extremely bland. First time I have ever had to add salt to wont-ton soup, as the broth was tasteless. I appreciate their prices and that they deliver, but the food was quite disappointing.

I got this togo once and that was enough. I find it pretty low end compared to other options in town.

I ordered the food through Grubhub at work, and found a bone in my sesame chicken. I was disgusted so I threw the food away, later when I was able to call, like I said I was at work, so I couldn't call right away, anyway when I called and told them, the guy on the phone said I had no right to throw away the food, and that I have to bring the food back if I want a refund. That is ridiculous. I bought food and expected it to not have bone in it, and when I call and tell them they yell at me and he just kept saying that I had no right to throw the food away. Like I'm sorry, that it was disgusting and made me loose my appetite. He basically made it seem like I had to dig it out of the trash and bring it back to get a refund. I explained that I was at work and couldn't bring it back and he was like well you had no right to throw it away. Never ordering there again, there food and customer service is horrible.

This was my third time eating from here. First, I had standard American fare and was disappointed. Next, I tried the beef with Chinese vegetables. Better but it was still as far away from real Chinese food as Rochester is from Beijing. Today, I begged to see if they could make something real for me. They were really hesitant too, it almost seemed controversial to them, but I was rewarded with a wonderful meal. Basically it was steamed beef with a light garlic sauce. The vegetable was informally called Chinese spinach. The quality is on par with some of the places we are in Beijing when we traveled there a few years back. If they had it one the menu, I would eat it weekly. I will be back and begging for more.

I really like that the food comes in plastic containers. We are staying at a motel nearby. They were quick. Food was hot and very good.

Since this place has opened It has been quite the comfort of getting it delivered to where I work. It is hard for me to get away from my desk and seak a quick bite to eat. They are quick and if I ask for spicy, they do it. I have had no complaints from guests as well when I recomend them as well. Just wanted to say Thank you for delivering!
