    Extremely disappointed by the taste of the food. I ordered a wide variety of dishes from this restaurant, including their imperial rolls, shrimp wonton soup, hot and sour soup, hunan beef, seafood birds nest, walnut shrimp, chicken imperial, beef chow fun, and moo shu chicken. Overall, my total came out to a little under $200. The imperial rolls tasted okay, came in a pack of 3, along with sauce. 3 rolls for $10 is a bit disappointing, considering we were a group of 4, but that's on me for not asking beforehand. 6/10. Both the wonton soup and hot and sour soup were disappointing in taste and consistency, but were at least edible. $18/$15 5/10 The Hunan Beef was a sad, small-sized 10-odd pieces of EXTREMELY salty beef, that were served in a watery sweet and barely perceptibly spicy sauce. $23. 2/10 The Seafood Birds nest was a disaster. The seafood was in an extremely under seasoned white wine sauce, and was served with a potato nest made of deep-fried potato shreds, almost like a hash brown in consistency. It was practically inedible, and the portion was extremely disappointing for the price. I ended up salvaging the dish later by pan frying it with oyster sauce, fresh garlic, and dark soy sauce at home. $31. 1/10 Walnut Shrimp - Not the best i've had, but edible. Would say that walnut shrimp from Panda Express would beat the taste unfortunately. Around 14 pieces of shrimp in a sad amount of candied walnuts. Disappointing, but at least it tasted okay. $27. 5/10 Chicken Imperial - Like the Birds nest, this suffered from an extreme lack of seasoning and salt in general. For the life of me, I dont know why they added cherry tomatoes to the dish, when it already tastes like practically nothing. Is it for color? The yellow squash was also not seasoned at all from what I can tell, prior to being doused in the sauce. $21. 2/10 Beef Chow Fun - Honestly, not that bad. I asked if the restaurant could possibly substitute shrimp as the protein, and they delivered. Wok Hei was noticeable, the seasonings were good, and the portion, while somewhat modest, was filling enough. It was practically the only thing my family ate that day, asides from the walnut shrimp. $23 6.5/10 Moo Shu Chicken - I had this the next day, and honestly, it was probably the best item that Imperial Chinese had from what we had selected. Good flavor, Wok Hei apparent throughout the dish, chicken tender and moist, and the cabbage and jicama were flavorful. $20. 8/10 Service - Due to being takeout, not much to say, but the staff was nice and pleasant. Atmosphere - A bit lacking, but it also might have been due to the timing. Decor cant be said to be either tacky nor tasteful. The fish in the aquarium looked relatively healthy, which is good though. Overall, a lackluster experience. I probably won't come back, unfortunately, but I will say if you have to order anything from here, I recommend the Moo Shu or the Beef Chow Fun.

    Customer service is horrible. Had an issue with my order and they couldn’t help me. They just keep hanging up and told me to call back in a week or 2 because there was no manager available. Meanwhile, I’m out of money because I had to cancel my order and no one wanted to help with processing a refund.
