2.5 / 5
Imperial buffet is similar to mandarin or other typical chinese-american food buffets, although the quality is slightly inferior. This is a disappointing to say the least considering mandarin doesn't exactly have high quality food either.
The price for the buffet is a bit cheaper than mandarin, which at least somewhat justifies the slightly worse food. Imperial buffet has a good selection of dishes to choose from ranging from your standard fried rice to kung pao chicken and even an entire section devoted to desserts, which are also included with the buffet price. None of the food is inedible per se, but nothing stands out either, all just simple quickly mass produced items.
The interior of the restaurant is a mixed bag. It's mostly clean and fairly new looking, but the layout is somewhat confusing with multiple sectioned rooms all circling a central room where the food is located. After getting my food i sometimes find myself disoriented as to where my seat is. The service is usually good although when it is busy sometimes they take excessively long to serve you.
Overall a decent place but most of the food is just standard chinese food that you can get at any fast food restaurant. Quantity over quality in this case.
