Completely ruined my order but then didnt want to give me a refund after admitting it was their fault. Also poor customer service and yelled on the phone because they didn't want to give a refund.

The war wonton soup has a lot of great vegetables and proteins but it has no flavor or depth to it. It's like vegetable water. I tried the orange peel beef and it's over tenderized and gelatinous not crispy.

I came here with my mom and dad. I ordered wonton soup and General Tso’s chicken with white rice and my parents ordered fried chicken with vegetable fried rice and wonton soup. We liked the wonton soup, my general tso’s chicken was good, my parents said their rice was good, but the chicken wings were refried and old so they didn’t eat them.
Kung Pao chicken was good had a different flavor to it. Egg rolls were awesome.

Food is good, portion sizes are really large. The only thing that confuses me is that their chow mein doesn't have noodles? But 'mein' literally means noodles. That would be like selling 'spaghetti and meatballs' but then just giving people meatballs in marinara sauce and that's it. Very odd. Their other dishes were good. I like the cashew chicken.

Food was greasy. I live maybe 10 minutes away and food had to be reheated because it was cold.

Hands down the worst Chinese food I've ever had, chicken has a wretched after taste like it's spoiled. Everything is dry. So bad none of us could eat it and have to go get food from somewhere else. Definitely will not be returning to imperial 42
Unfortunately, this is one of few Chinese restaurants that continues with their own delivery (which prompted our order). Delivery guy was the highlight of our experience. Food was overly-greasy, didn't feel so fresh. I threw the leftovers out. I hate leaving this kind of review!

This place only does takeout right now.We have enjoyed their Chinese food. It is nothing special, but a solid choice for Chinese cuisine.

Food was cold and under cooked when it arrived ordered shrimp chow mein and had maybe 5 pieces of shrimp which was way under cooked and was full of water which caused the container to bust and leak everywhere also got the sweet and sour chicken which was over cooked

IF I COULD GIVE LESS THEN 1 STAR I WOULD . I USUALLY DONT TAKE TIME OUT TO DO THIS EVER WITH ANYTHING, UNLESS I I HAD A BLATANLTY BAD EXPERIENCE, OR ITS A DOCTOR/INDIVIDUAL INVOLVES. MOSTLY HEALTH OR PROESSIONAL DISCREPENCYS. WELL IN THIS CASE , FOOD POISIONING.HOLIDAY WEEKEND (XMAS EVE, I BELIEVE, MAYBE XMAS DAY) NOTHING ELSE OPEN REALLY IN HARRISONBURG. THIS WAS " top rated" CHINA FOOD IN TOWN. SOMEHOW. (TRY NOT TO LAUGH AT HOW CLICHE AND HUMORUS THIS IS, BUT ALL JOKES ASIDE) I ORDERED A PU PU PLATTER (APPETIZER TRAY!!!!. .NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANY KIND OF "PU PU" OR CAUSE ANY!!) AND BEEF CHOW MEI FUN.I DONT KNOW WHATTT TYPE OF ACTUAL MEAT WAS REALLY USED FOR THE BONELESS RIBS, AND "BEEF" IN BOTH PORTIONS. THE ONLY THING THAT WASANT COMPLETLE TRASH WAS THE CHEESE WONTONS. EVERY THING ELSE TASTED OLD, RE USED , OR RE COOKED, AND HONEST TO GOD, NOT CHICKEN , BEEF OR PORK. THIS WAS SOME OTHER TYPE OF MYSTERY MEAT. THE BEEF CHOW MEI FUN, HAD A ROTTEN TASTE AND IF YOU ASK ME THIS IS WHAT GOT AND HAS HAD ME UNABLE TO PROCESS ANY FOOD INTO SOLID WASTE THE PAST WEEK. BEEN ABOUT A WEEK NOW, THE BUG .. "THROWING UP AND EXTREME DIARREAH/INABILITY TO CONTROL GAS, ALLLLL THE GOOD STUFF THATCOMES WITH THE DESCRIPT< FOR FOOD POISIONING, STARTED A DAY AFTER I ATE THIS TRASH AND IT MADE ITS WAY DOWN MY WHOLE SYSTEM. I HAVE A SLOW METABOLISM SO IT USUALLY TAKES A BIT IF I GET SICK FROM DIGESTING SOMETHING.IF YOUR CRAVING CHINESE, GO OUT OF TOWN... IF THIS IS YOUR ONLY OPTION, STARVE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Sweet and sour chicken tasted like it was cooked in oil that was old, my fried rice tasted like the plastic container that they put it directly in after taking in out of the wok, the lady was rude, will not go back, very disappointed. The egg roll was very good.
Love the food, and costumer service.
