I'll start with the fact that I am a little bias bc this place has been around since I was born, and my family has gone to it casually over the years. The inside of this place is absolutely made for a movie. That's why I asked my boyfriend if we could stop here on our way in from California. I didn't know honestly if the food was going to be good or not because I didn't remember how it was the last time I had been here, luckily for us the food was better than expected. We got egg foo young and split it - and it was more than enough food for both of us. The food was excellent. I know that you kind of need to have an idea of what you want before you go here... So let me give you a few ideas...Egg foo young, mapo tofu, any vegetable, steamed rice, and anything with eggplant.

Only been once and got takeout. Was some of the best Chinese I've had in the area. Will definitely be back.

The food was good worth going back. Service was great and friendly atmosphere was nice.

The best Chinese food in metairie. I love the hi hops appetizer. Their egg rolls are perfect and every entree I have tried has been delicious.

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant. They have one unique dish, Shrimp and Bacon Cantonese, and have good Mai Tais, egg rolls, Egg Foo Young, Shrimp with Eggplant, and Mandarin Chicken, as well as a good variety of other dishes.

Service and good are always great! Christy remembers everyone! Our favorite dish is the sesame chicken

It had been a long time since I had come to Cathay Imperial so I decided to give it another try. I am glad I did. The food is really good, especially the egg rolls, boneless chicken and hot and sour soup. I have already gotten the soup and egg rolls several times as takeout since my visit. I look forward to trying other things!

Have been here several times now and really do enjoy the food. Don't know how long this place has been here, but looking at the decor, it has been here for some time. The place is clean and very friendly and helpful waitresses. The Moi Good Gai Pan is my favorite. Always hot and full of vegetables. The sauce is great. They do have lunch and dinner combo specials the include egg rolls and fried rice. The food is always quick and tasty. You won't be disappointed.
