Was a quick dinner here and although the decor is old old old.. the staff are friendly, service is fast... food is tasty... try the satay and the salt and pepper tofu!!! Delicious
Such friendly, above and beyond staff, honestly outstanding. The food was delicious, filling and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend.
The decor was what you'd expect - dated but suitable 😊 I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews, I was quite content with my food. I mean it's not fine dining but pretty standard for a suburban Chinese restaurant. Perhaps I was just lucky. The fried rice was flavourful, the Mongolian beef was really tasty (although the beef slightly chewy), the combination birds nest was delicious!

We ventured in on Saturday night and despite the 80s decor were very happy. A couple of the staff were in training but they had badges identifying this and we have no problems with people learning and the service was good. We started with spring rolls (huge with a hint of curry), panfried pork dumplings (yummy), salt and pepper calamari (again yummy but maybe could have been a bit bigger but was only an entree serve) and the lobak (different to others I have tried but really tasty). Mains were honey pepper beef (tender, flavorsome and lots of veggies), garlic prawns (also really nice), Imperial combination (also nice but maybe a little bland for our liking and there was no birds nest available so this may have added more flavor) and nasi goreng (again different to others but still tasty). Food came promptly and was yummy, service attentive and finished with the good old hot towels, loved it we will be back. Hubby said this is his favorite so far, boys leaning towards Enzo & Mario's and I will try a few more before deciding what is my favorite in the new hood.
Acceptable Chinese cuisine. Good for a quick local dinner
Delish!. Excellent Shanghai dumplings and very friendly service. A new favourite restaurant of mine! Great for takeaway too.
Chinese 'Old School' Style #Happy. What a pleasant surprise to finally find a chinese that I would happily come back to. Fried rice, tick! Sweet and Sour, tick! Beef with cashews, tick! Hot face towels to finish off.. Old school style which I will be back for often. Thumbs up!
Amazing restaurant & Amazing customer service. Looked on Urbanspoon to find a Chinese restaurant to eat at tonight and I am so happy with Imperial Garden Restaurant. Food was amazing, ordered the Chicken Satay for entree and for main I ordered Sweet & Sour Chicken. Customer service was great, staff were friendly, served rice for you as well as hot face washes at the end of your meal...would recommend to anyone and I will definitely be returning.
Really good food and service. Always serve with a smile that made us feel comfortable. I had a great time with my friend. I 'll be back.
Great local restaurant with always reliable quality food, service is superb, nice to have a 'local' you can rely on!
It’s taste really homey , tasted malaysian with “ Heat”. tried the braised chicken w veges
Lovely atmosphere with plenty of seating, great service and very tasty food offering a large menu - only downfalls for me - the prices were a little higher than I'm used too and portions could have been slightly larger for the what I paid. Restroom was a little dingy with poor lighting. However I really liked that when I requested a couple of takeaway containers at the end of the meal I was not charged extra as I have experienced at other similar establishments in the past.
Just moved in to the area and decided to try it and let me tell you, it was worth it. Yes, it does have an old 60's look but once inside is pretty clean and nice. Also, the service was great, the girls were very nice and the food didn't take too long. As per the food it was delicious, pretty tasty and with rich flavour. The price is among the average so is OK. Take away available and fast too. No complains, all good!
Wonderful service, delicious food. We all had a wonderful evening. Highly recommend Imperial Garden Restaurant.
We have been going to this restaurant for at least 30 years and never had a compliant. The service is fast and courteous with the waiters being friendly polite and attentive. Unlike many other Chinese restaurants which we have experienced over the years where the food tastes less than "food court" quality, this place excels. Well done and keep up the great work. A real pleasure at which to dine !!!!!!
We have been going to Imperial garden for about 5 to 6 years. There have been times when it hasn't been fabulous over the years but we keep coming back and over the breadth of time and it is still the best of the local chinese restaurants and is our go to restaurant. So glad there is now delivery. Tonight's meal was fantastic. Thanks
A family favourite, at Imperial Garden you can always expect delicious meals, friendly hospitality, cleanliness and value for money. I highly recommend it.
Lovely food. Friendly staff. Well priced.
Will go again
