Okay - the article itself and the reviews are all mixed up, because they're talking about two different places. First, the Imperial Bento is on the A47 at Thorney Toll - the picture you see (above) is NOT it. It's a fairly pleasant Chinese restaurant, though it was much better in the old days back when it was the Bento Noodle Bar and its menu was specialist traditional noodles. Even so, its still very nice and is primarily for "eat-in" sit down meals. The picture (above) and most of the reviews are of the Imperial (no "Bento" in the name) which is in Wisbech on the Old Market near the banks. It's a take-away only Fish & Chips shop that also does take-away Chinese food. In my opinion it is the best Chinese food in Wisbech, and the fish and chips are pretty good too.

Imperial Bento is both a fish & chip shop and Chinese takeaway in one. The Wisbech takeaway on Wisbech Road is open 6 days a week and provides delicious English and Oriental cuisine with a fast and friendly service.

Rubbish location but the food makes up for it all. It's great in a big group because there's something for everyone and the service is fast no matter how busy it gets. The staff are friendly and accomodating, the prices are good and there's a really fun atmosphere on the weekends when the place gets full up with happy, well-fed people.
Imperial Bento in Wisbech Road is a fantastic restaurant that serves up some truly delicious Oriental food. The service is excellent, with friendly, efficient and attentive waiters.

This is one of the Chinese restaurants that is worth the drive. Based on the A47 heading towards Peterborough this lovely Chinese is traditional and great for groups of people. When I visit I tend to go with at least 4/5 friends and we always eat loads. They offer all you can eat for a set price. Drinks are extra. They are friendly and when I visit we always ask for a mixture and they will bring out a sample platter so we can try all dishes. A word of warning, pre-book to avoid disappointment.
