Imperial Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Modesto

The restaurant is super quiet inside, so much so that you can hear people slurping their meal and kitchen staff talking, which is a minor annoyance to me. There’s nothing offsetting the noise. In any case I didn’t really care too much for the miso soup as the broth was super thick. The rice plate tasted ok, although I got a big chunk of rib in my bite. Sweet and Sour chicken was crispy and tasted ok, the chow mein was not great. Noodles were thick and chewy. Also, they bill you by the can of soda, and no free refills. They also add an automatic 15% gratuity to ALL tabs. Which I think is to their detriment because I am typically a generous tipper. If they think they’re only worth 15%, so be it. That’s what I will agree too. However, I think that by adding in a “service fee”, people may not realize this is part of the charges and I personally feel it’s an underhanded way to get a bigger tip by people who don’t really pay attention to that stuff. Overall, I...

I have eaten at Imperial Garden a number of times over the years. The prices are pretty standard for the area, and the portions are very generous. The atmosphere is cozy, and the serving staff is nice enough. Tonight we had a family meal with Sizzling Rice Soup, Potstickers, Mongolian beef, Garlic Chicken, Cashew Prawns, fried rice, and Stir Fry vegetables. The soup was a little bland, the pot stickers were ok, and I liked the beef chicken and prawns dishes, and the fried rice. The vegetable dish was kinda terrible though, there was a white garlic sauce on them that didn't seem to have any flavor, just made the veggies slimy. Also if you order a soda there are no free refills, you get a single can with a glass of ice. But since I generally liked the food I will probably go again. Especially since my favorite Chinese food place is...
