---Disappointed with the Experience I recently visited “imperial” buffet, i would call it SCAM BUFFET and, unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. It’s a cheap place with super rude staff. Firstly, the **food quality** was below par. Many of the dishes seemed to have been sitting...Read More

Since I have been back in town, I enjoy coming to Imperial Buffet. I'm always greeted & shown to a table very quickly. There are many different food options to choose from. Even with a buffet, the food is still fresh and hot. I recommend if you...Read More

Came for lunch on a weekday, fair price, descent environment and food. Above average in Asian buffet. Did not try the sushi, but other dishes are okay.

I’m an avid foodie around Chicago, the country, and actually around the world—and this buffet has really wowed me. The produce and seafood are fresh—nothing stinky—and everything is well-fried and well-seasoned. The selection is wide, offering classic American food like brisket, barbecue ribs, and fried...Read More

It's a great place to feed a large amount of people also drive lace and feed your face where you're high. It's really loud, but fun. You can really wait until they bring out another tray of food. That way, you don't really think about...Read More

I get the sense that their employees are very unhappy 🙁. The food is great quality for a buffet. Would definitely recommend their sushi. They also have a Mongolian BBQ bar. I've never tried it as I don't have the ability to wait for...Read More

Good Chinese buffet. Building looks a little old and would benefit of some modern decoration, but chairs are comfortable and the buffet area looked clean. There is a language barrier with some of the staff, but our waiter was friendly and polite. Food was good, tons...Read More

The service was alright, but the food, unfortunately, missed the mark. It tasted like it had been sitting out for quite a while, and I didn’t feel great afterward. The chicken had a strange, gummy texture, and the fried rice was pretty dried out and...Read More

Imperial Buffet is a nice place to go when you'd like lots of variety to choose from. Especially picky eaters. There is something for everyone. The quality of food varies on what you get. The flat top choices are great and are the star.
