Quick info
About Imperial Kitchen
A 228-dish menu anchors Imperial Kitchen, a Chinese takeaway on Devonshire Dr in Derby. The kitchen runs crispy aromatic duck by the quarter or half, and spring rolls come in three forms, including a Cantonese mini version and a duck version. Alongside those, the range covers Kung Po chicken, chicken in black pepper sauce, curry and rice, veg noodles and soups such as mushroom. Chips sit on the side list next to the rice dishes. Most orders arrive by phone, with the team quoting a collection time when the order is taken, and customers come to the shop to pick up. It is a walk-in operation with no reservations, and a wait is common when the kitchen is busy. Opening runs Tuesday to Sunday in the evenings, with Mondays closed. The takeaway has changed hands, and it serves the Mickleover area, with customers ordering over a period of years.

Customer Review Summary
Food complaints are more mixed. Reviewers describe chips as dry, overcooked or hard, and one found the sauce runny and the rice tasteless. Another found the Szechuan beef sweet rather than hot and spicy, with the mushroom soup portion small, though its taste was good. One returning customer ended on the chips being thin, dry and inedible.

“The Food Was Very Good. Better Than Most Chinese Takeaways. The Minor Thing Was, When Taking Phone Calls. There Phone Was Very Slow And Glitchy. Beware Of Taking Calls Rather Would Go To The Shop Itself.”
- Peter Miker
“I ordered the Kung Po Chicken and I have to say the food was absolutely delicious, hot, and fresh. Everything was prepared very fast and the flavours were amazing. The portion size was great and the meal tasted really well cooked. Very happy with my experience and I will definitely come back again. Highly recommend this restaurant!”

“First time here due to recently moving to the area and I can honestly say this was the nicest chinese I've had in a long time. The food was hot and the portions were generous. I will definitely be back.”
- Tanya Barker
“Phoned order through & was told 55 minutes. Not a problem. Got there & there were lots of people who had been waiting over an hour & were then being told at least another 30 minutes. Not much confidence that it wouldn't have been longer …”
- Wendy Abbott
“Very very disappointing!! Obviously no longer Imperial ‘Kitchen’ and has changed hands. I was not told I would have to wait an hour and a half for order which then came …”
