"We were greeted at the hostess station rightaway. We did reserve a table, and we were seated promptly.Imperial Garden is a relaxed restaurant with a wonderful menu. We enjoy its comfortable, formal, Asian atmosphere. We ordered drinks (usually Tsing Tao for me plum wine for my wife and later glasses or bottle of a Riesling. We ordered fried dumplings along with three delicacies sizzling rice soup, and they were very good. Our entrees were Imperial Chicken, pork fried rice and shrimp fried rice. The Imperial Chicken was well prepared with excellent seasoning and served with steamed rice. They offer several kinds of tea. Our server was prompt and friendly. We will be back as always."

"The food was average in flavor and complexity. I commented that I could get food just as good at the China Wok down the road. I guess I prefer variety when it comes to Chinese. The major problem was that the food took way too long to arrive--over an hour, in fact. Other people were frustrated too--and many received complimentary beverages and/or appetizers. We did not. We were not approached about that. Our waitress told us once that our food was coming soon. It came over a half-hour after that."
