Friendly staff from start to finish and tasty food. We had grilled dumplings to start, then sizzling satay chicken and sizzling tao pan beef, Singapore noodles (with very good ratio of noodles to other ingredients) and egg fried rice. If we are staying in Woodstock again, we will be happy to visit again.

A lovely little Chinese restaurant that never disappoints. It’s always been quiet when we've visited, which makes for a relaxed dining experience. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is friendly and attentive. A hidden gem we’re always happy to return to!

We are local and we love Chef Imperial for our Chinese takeaway meals. We recommend the grilled pork dumplings, chicken with cashew nuts peking style, and singapore noodles. We have tried a lot from this restaurant for takeaways and haven’t been disappointed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant for your Chinese takeout. Such great variety on the menu, the food is super fresh, and the man who works at the front of house is extremely friendly.- Service

Very nice dishes, my Chinese wife ordered off- menu, authentic Chinese longevity noodles and steamed sea bass. The fish was sweet and firm. Everything just perfect. The service friendly, fast and attentive.

Super place, delicious food, good prices. Ideal for romantic date!
Always super friendly guy who is always welcoming. Really good vegetarian and plenty of tofu options. Food is always delicious and never had any issues. This is the kids' absolute favourite for dining in to see the fish pond, and for take out.

One of the larger and spacious Chinese restaurants in the area. The food quality and price here are really tasty and affordable compared to other Chinese restaurants in Oxford area. Plenty of tables to sit without having to squash which is what I like.

Visited here for Sunday Lunch (All you can eat buffet).
It was to celebrate a friend's son 13th birthday. There were a group of 10 of us, ranging in age from 9yrs to 83yrs.
After reading the very mixed almost polar reviews on here I was rather anxious. To add to that "All you can eat buffet" is usually a byword for poor quality.
I simply cannot understand the poor reviews on here! Did you visit the same restaurant?
First impression; impressed and somewhat unnerved to be the only customers of non Chinese appearance.
It was simply packed with around 80 customers, all of whom were large family groups of 8-12. Surely this had to be a good sign, it's something I have never experienced in a Chinese restaurant in the UK before.
I can only say what a fantastic experience we had. Great friendly, attentive service. Lots of freshly cooked and well presented food.
Great choice, great quantity. Every dish was tasty, succulent meats, fresh vegetables, lovely rice and noodles.
The waiters were so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble.
They even found a small cake and candle and presented this singing happy birthday to the lad whose 13th birthday it was.
They then offered, almost insisted, that they packed away the significant amount of food we could not finish.
This truly is all you can eat. They encourage and assure you that you can order more as much as you want. We had a lovely long relaxing lunch that lasted from 1230-1545 and were never made to feel unwelcome once.
The best part, this is not self service. This is freshly cooked a la carte, thet courses, with multiple options but with a fixed price of £14.95.
Highly recommended.Great food, very tasty . The staff are very friendly and very polite the food here is amazing will definitely visit again
