Imperial Dynasty Chinese and Japanese Cuisine in Wekiwa Springs - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This used to be THE go-to restaurant in the Longwood area many years ago. Unfortunately it was sold to a new owner a while back and both the quality of the food and service have gone downhill considerably. The food is sort of just ho-hum. Is it better than your typical Chinese buffet fare? Yes. But not by much. Service was rather poor as well as my wife's food was brought to the table about 10 minutes before the rest of our party. I can't be too upset with the server as she seemed to be the only one taking care of the entire restaurant. As for the interior, well let's just say it's looking rather old and worn and in dire need of a remodel. I'm always concerned when the public areas of a restaurant look rough, I can only imagine how bad it must be behind the curtains. The food prices were a bit high for the lack of overall quality. Unfortunately I simply can't recommend this once great local restaurant.

I guess it might not be everyones cup of tea or maybe their experience wasn't the same as I have had over the years. But I moved away from the area many years ago and still crave the Sesame Chicken, yes it looks different and takes a while to prepare, but it's the best I've ever had. I try to get back just for this dish every couple of years.
