Good chinese food at an affordable price. We usually dine here before attending performances at the Jefferson Performing Arts Center.

You don’t get as much food on your plate as some Asian restaurants but it was very good . Lately , we’ve been comparing shrimp with lobster sauce around town at different Asian restaurants . This number 1 for flavor so far , however not number one in the amount or size of shrimp they give you . Personally , I’m into the size , amount , and quality of shrimp on my plate , Very tasty , however . (Didn’t care for the tiny shrimp in my rice or the pink color on my rice. )Atmosphere was lovely but could have been friendlier . Also , feed your fish so it doesn’t want to eat my hair . I asked the name of the fish , the girl said he didn’t have a name . They call it red devil . Gee, how nice . Name your fish for God’s sake . How rude .

I hate leaving bad reviews! I am from the area and used to eat at Cathay a lot The last few times have been average, and we stopped coming for about a year. Tonight, we were traveling on Airline and decide to give Cathay another chance. I ordered the Generals Chicken and was dry, lacked enough sauce and too spicy. My wife ordered the Garlic Shrimp, and it was too spicy for her to eat. We love Chinese food and have eaten all over the region! This may be the worst that I have had in the Greater New Orleans area! We spent $60 on the meal and it was not worth it!

We have dined here multiple times in the past. However today when we went we noticed that the aquarium was separated by like 80/20. On the small side was the biggest fish by itself. On the other side were 5 additional fish. It was not always like this because you cannot miss a big fish without enough room to turn around as you try and eat. I asked the waitress about this and she told me that the bigger fish was a bully. If that’s the case give it away or buy an additional aquarium so the poor fish can move around. It must be very lonely because it used to be with all the other fish. Seeing this ruined my appetite and I will never be back here.

Lunch is usually pretty good. Unfortunately they’re cheap on the wong tong chips for the soups. It’s extra if you want more. I recommend the moo goo. Very tasty and healthy.

Cathay Imperial has been 1 of my favorite Chinese restaurants for DECADES for both its lovely environment & its great food. I have lived out of state for about the last 4 years & hadn’t been back there until recently. On my recent visit-I was very disappointed in just how much it has changed. Firstly, I realize that most everywhere: portions have become smaller while the prices have gone up & this has happened at Cathay Imperial. But my favorite lunch special which is now priced at $11.50 was the size of a child’s meal & the food was overcooked, bland & greasy. I had sweet & sour shrimp which did not come w/the customary savory vegetables like sliced onion, carrots or bell peppers-it was just shrimp & sauce. The sauce portion was placed underneath the shrimp & was so skimpy that it was not enough to cover the shrimp. When I asked for more sauce, the waitress was rude & looked offended but eventually brought me some. My waitress continued w/her bad attitude & she was neither personable nor helpful & ignored me for most of my lunch. The majority of my fried shrimp were as hard as a rock & inedible. So I don’t know what happened to this once great restaurant but it was a terrible dining experience & I will not be returning.
