Although the portions are generous I was sadly disappointed with the lack of flavor especially when it came to the chow mein. There was a lot of bean sprouts in it so the taste of them was overpowering. The gravy that the noodles were swimming in had no seasoning or flavor at all which gave it an almost slimy texture :/

I was under the impression that this was a legitimate Chinese (Cantonese) restaurant. Im half Chinese and lived and grew up in Taiwan China and SanGabriel Valley. I was weary that it wasnt an actual Chinese restaurant for Chinese people so I asked the older Cantonese folks outside they assured me it was. They were wrong. We ordered basic dishes and they were all wrong. The lettuce wraps we not crunchy and wet and saucy instead of light flakey and crunchy. The Kung Pao looked even worse and we returned it as it arrived. And how do you mess up fried rice?!? It was Dark, dry and flavorless couldnt even really see the egg. Im shocked. The chicken feet were old (as westerners never order it) this is a generic Chinese takeout in middle America disguised as a legitimate Cantonese restaurant. 1/5 never again.

Imperial Garden is our favorite Chinese restaurant to eat at in the Central Valley for a multitude of reasons:1. We love their hot and sour soup and chicken salad. Super delicious. Great for those two items alone.2. Dim Sum. ‘Nuf Said. (Sunday Dim Sum is an endless array of choices).3. I appreciate the super crazy items like chicken feet and salted fish. I don’t eat these items as my palette is not inclined towards those foods.4. They are quick to accommodate and serve the food fast.Our whole family really likes this place. The servers are not particularly friendly but I am not necessarily coming to eat to make friends (they are professional). The restaurant itself is a bit dirty, but again, it’s great food.I highly recommend this place.

Horrible food. We ordered fried wontons as an appetizer and chow mein with sprouts and bbq pork for two to share. The entree was served before the appetizer. Fried wontons had no filling. Just deep fried dough.... But the chow mein was worse than one can imagine. The bbq pork was dry and definitely just sliced smoked pork from a store. The noodles looked stale. It was cooked earlier and sat in a bowl for many hours. I found noodles compressed into solid chunks (see photo). The portion was large but looked unappetizing and tasted like garbage. The waiter dared to ask if wanted a box... The good thing is that we did not get sick.

This is a LEGIT spot! The portions are INSANE!They have CRATES of styrofoam to-go boxes in the back of the restaurant, because (Im assuming) most of the customers cant finish their plate. The portions are SO HUGE for the price!I ordered the broccoli chicken and steamed rice. The prices are comparable to other Chinese restaurants (but I got much more food than I have at other restaurants).The food was delicious.I left the restaurant feeling like I ate way too much, and I was STILL able to get two full sized meals from my leftovers.There was a little bit of a language barrier with a few of the staff, but nothing we couldnt handle with a smile and some patience with each other. The wait staff were super nice and the service was outstanding.No exaggeration.The service was outstanding.My diet is limited, so I wasnt able to try any of the items on the cart (yes, I said cart).A server pushes a food cart around the dining room, with small plates of different items like dumplings, pot stickers, etc (3 of each item per plate). Everything on the cart looked like it came straight out of a food magazine. Picturesque and appetizing.I will most definitely be returning.This is an establishment worth supporting.The food is top quality, and the menu is plentiful.

Can you say delicioso?! A must for all you Chinese food lovers. The Peking duck is a flavorful dish with Crispy skin and perfectly portioned into sections. The steamed buns compliment the duck perfectly, be sure to use both sauces (one is spicy) and shredded veggies with your dish. Their chicken fried rice is one of the best Ive ever tasted. The steamed fish has a flavor of its own along with the shredded veggies, this dish is a hit!!!

This restaurant is average at best nothing fancy. The food is ok, the dim sum was good but it evened out when I got my entree. I ordered the seafood chow fun and they drowned it in chop suey gravy. The seafood was good but my plate had more vegetables than seafood. I thought paying $13 or $14 dollars, I would get a little more seafood. The service was good but they tried to take my plate before I was finished. Overall its ok but I probably wont go back again. If you like dim sum then give it a try and see what you think.

Usually the food is really good and I love it! But I dont know what happened this time.I ordered 4 dishes, 2 were chicken dishes. Ive ordered salted fish fried rice before, and it comes with stir fry chicken. This time, the chicken was boiled and twice cooked. The same kind of chicken was used for the chicken mushroom plate. It completely ruined my meal because I do not like the taste of boiled chicken breast, refried as stir fry. This makes it taste dry and not fresh at all. Smells like leftover chicken. How can they just cook it however they want. This is not the way its cooked every other time Ive ordered it. Quite disappointed!Not sure Ill go here again for fear theyll do this again.
