The food was excellent, and thank you to the very fine young who did damage control after the very poor continued service provided by this young man.His bad attitude and poor manners earned one star for the service, and the appropriate damage control they earned back the stars.Vegetarian Spring rolls and onion cakes were excellent! Mongolian chicken and Kung Pao prawns were so delicious too!Great location and plenty of parking.Will visit again.

As a field technician l visit a lot of Chinese food restaurant’s I’m the Bay Area. And I found this little spot today. I ordered a chicken broccoli lunch special which was relatively good and the soup that came with the lunch specials was delicious. And the lunch specials was $13. Plus my drink.Even though the food was not the best, the price is good and the food is still good enough. I would give it a 4 1/2 if I could. Definitely a good small Chinese restaurant.

My wife and I were craving authentic Chinese food, not Panda Express Ana we wanted to experience the Chinese American food as we grew up with. To our pleasant surprise the service and food were excellent. Obviously the quality of food can be elevated but given the Special Dinner menu of $19.99 per person we hand more food than we can eat. The soup, appetizers, Teo main dishes and chicken chow mien were all for $40 plus tax. I loved the experience. Great spot for large groups to share variety of dishes. I’m hoping that they will continue to operate as the future development gets built and they will be there for ever.I can’t wait to take a large group of family and friends there soon.

I ordered the Mongolian beef (lunch version) and sautéed string beans. Both were delicious and flavorful; the string beans were in like a garlic/chili oil sauce. The only thing I didnt care for was the disproportionate amount of rice provided with the Mongolian beef. There was definitely more rice than anything else, and more rice than any one person could eat for sure. Maybe some people like this but it seemed wasteful to me. It wouldnt be so bad if there was more of the Mongolian beef to balance it out, but there was less of it.I wish their menus were more descriptive so you know exactly what youre getting when you order things online and whats in the food. But with this place you kinda just need to either be super familiar with Chinese food dishes or just trust that its good I guess. (Thank goodness for Google photos)

BEST CHINESE FOOD EVER!!! We love this place! The food is always cooked perfectly. Very traditional and authentic. The Mongolian beef is to die for. Won Tin soup was famous. You can ever go wrong here.

The food at Imperial Delight is delicious, while the service staff is focused on making the customers experience a very positive one. Take-out is fast and professional. Loved the Imperial Triple Combo. Same for the Seafood Clay Pot.John

Nice ambience. I like the way they welcome the customers with soup and tea. Very welcoming. Food quality and quantity is good as well. Food is tasty, right amount of spices in the food. And good variety in the menu too.

I live in San Ramon and tonight, Valentines night our family were thinking on where to have dinner. We were debating if we were going to Japanese or Chinese restaurant. My girls decided to have Chinese and since Imperial Delight is very close to where we live, we decided to have our dinner at the said place. I have tried their food before and it is fine. In the middle of our dinner, the waiter who was an elderly Chinese man gave us the bill with the look in his place that he is implying that payment is needed, I took my card and put it in the tray. He returned the tray with the receipt and I signed giving him not a very generous tip. To our surprise he went back to our table and ask us if his service is not good because we gave him a small tip. He asked us why our tip was so small, I was so embarrased because I have only 5 dollar cash in my pocket. I asked him to give me the receipt back so I could change it. Wouldnt you consider that to be very rude. Tip is a voluntary act from the customer and it is not mandatory to give a specific amount. His act was very inappropiate because after I gave a big tip they all spoke in their language and started to look at us with that kind of smile that you know that they are talking about. you.I will not recommend that place to anyone. There are a lot Chinese restaurant around with good food and good service.

I dont know how useful this review is, being the last time I ate there was 11 years ago and I always got the same things. I used to come here once a week or at least once a month. That sesame chicken is incomparable. I still crave this place even though I live far away now. Ill have to plan a trip just to hit this place up several times!

Absolutely love the food here! Something about it makes it stand out as fresh and clean compared to all other Chinese food I’ve ever had. Hard to explain if you haven’t tried it, but makes others seem like they must use old used oil in all their cooking. Many of the dishes are even a different color from what I’m used to seeing and they are all fabulous.

This place is awesome!!! Even when Ive lived my entire life up to 5yrs ago on Long Island, NY, the food is excellent, the portions are generous, my ONLY gripe is not having duck sauce... 4 that I took off 1 star, but the people are nice, speak good enough English to not have to repeat yourself 10x. All around great choice!!!

Be careful if you look at their menu online. Their prices have changed and they will not honor the website prices. I was informed that prices are subject to change but it doesnt state that on their website. Ordered the sauteed triple mushroom w/ beef. More vegetables and rice then meat. Picture looks better than what was served. No flavor to the food. probably because all I could taste was rice. Not going back there again.....

A small restaurant but with very good Chinese food, I like the Mongolian beef and salt and pepper pork chop.

The restaurant is pretty small, but we called in advance and reserved 2 big tables, party of 20!!! They did their best to fit and wait on us. Food was ok, not the best or worst Chinese food Ive ever had. Lets just say, if the plate setting doesnt have chopsticks on the table...that is a pretty strong tell of how authentic the food will be. None of the dishes really stood out in anyway.

Wowza...great food and wonderful service. First time here, I had the Mongolian Chicken...was asked if I wanted it spicy from low to really spicy. I said really spicy. The sever asked me twice if I was sure...haha. Should have been forwarned ....it was spicy but amazing. First four bites was rough then I got into it. Loved it. Also shared pork fried rice- yummmy. Definitely will be back

I have not been to Imperial Delight since the most recent stay-at-home order issued by tge Contra Costa county health department. However, previous to that recent order, the Imperial Delight was doing an excellent job of keeping customers satisfied with takeout only and safely separated from the back half of the front of the restaurant. Hand sanitizer was also easily available for customers.Interestingly, I believe the quality and flavors of the food at Imperial Delight has increased tremendously in the last several months and it was very delicious even before that. My family particularly likes the Mongolian Beef, Kung Pao Chicken, Imperial Triple Crown, Prawns with Garlic Sauce, and the Dry Scallop w/ Egg White Fried Rice.

I ate here last month and got food poisoning so bad that I had to go to the ER at 3:30 in the morning! I even threw up in the parking lot of the ER, which was about the 5th time that morning! Im sure I wasnt the only person who got sick from eating here this day since I ate there on a Saturday night and there were other people dining there and picking up orders. Something with their food prep or food storage is way off. Its now five weeks later and my stomach still isnt right. All I can say is, diner beware! These places are notorious for having unsanitary conditions.

Make sure you open and check your order when you pick up as the chances are they will get your order wrong and then blame you for ordering wrong. Never going back again.
