    Food was great! We came late night and the food was hot and fresh and service was speedy! Waiters were nice enough...

    Orange Chicken

    Recently been visiting for the last month and LOVE their portions and how their lunch special comes with extras, their service has been great and always on time when I call in my order! Highly recommend for also being open on a Monday and always quick turn around when I go for lunch at work!

    Imperial Garden is great. The service is attentive and genuinely friendly, which makes a big difference. The food comes out hot, fresh, and fast every time. You can tell they care about both quality and their customers. A solid go-to spot when you want good food without a long wait.

    The wonton soup, egg rolls, and the dinner for one offering of sweet and sour pork and fried rice.

    The prices were very good, the servings were huge, and the service was genuinely kind and attentive. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. The wonton soup was amazing.

    Food tasted great, definitely met my expectations. Fast and friendly service too! I will definitely be coming back soon!

    Honey Walnut Shrimp. Not quite prawns and not sweet enough for me.  I added sugar to my taste.

    I ordered bbq pork fried rice without vegetables. My first bite was, whoa! That's a lot of MSG! The bbq pork has a very good flavor to it. I added a little salt and it was a little better. Over all, not bad. They brought this out first. I ordered the honey walnut shrimp which came about 5 minutes later. I wish they brought it out together. The shrimp had a good flavor, however it was not sweet enough for me. You could taste the honey in the sauce. Again, I like mine a little sweeter. It was made to order as the coating was crispy. After a while the batter got mushier than I would like. I also liked that they took the time to glaze their walnuts. I just came from Chinatown in San Francisco yesterday and batter on that shrimp was perfect. It should be lightly battered and should not lose its crunch. You can tell they double fried the shrimp. Overall, I liked both dishes. If you like American Chinese food. This is the place for you. I might actually eat the leftovers in the hotel!

    Came to Dynasty Garden after doing a quick "dim sum" search in Modesto. I had been craving dim sum…read morefor some time and since we were in town, I figured why not try somewhere new to me? Walking in on a Saturday afternoon (it was almost 3PM when we entered), you're met with a check-in counter. The inside is decorated much like a typical Chinese restaurant: round tables w a lazy susan, dark moody carpet, and infrastructure/roof tiling on the back wall that makes it look like we're dining right outside a traditional cafe in China. We were quickly seated and brought a regular menu and a dim sum menu. I liked that the dim sum menu contained pictures for easy point and order. But instead of pointing like a normal person, I brought out my broken Canto to order and I think I impressed uncle enough to get a complimentary bowl of egg flower soup lol. We ended up ordering: - Orange chicken lunch special: this comes with white rice or you can upgrade to fried rice or chow mein for an extra dollar. SO upgraded to chow mein and the plate that came out was HUGE. Was not expecting such a large portion, but I am not complaining at all. The chicken was sauced perfectly and he said the noodles were aight. - Ha gow (shrimp dumpling): these had thicker wrapping, but the dumplings themselves were stuffed. Good flavor - Shu mai (pork and shrimp dumpling): meaty, yummy. The skins sorta stuck to the bottom container though - Fong zhao (chicken feet): super delicious, but only came with 3 measly claws - Ham sui gok (fried glutinous rice pork dumpling): fried mochi goodness with delicious meat filling (even if the filling was a little sparse) - Gou choy gow (chive dumpling): my personal favorite dim sum dish; the one here was not my favorite, but it did its job. - Salt and pepper pork spareribs: we ordered this as an alternative when they told me they were out of their pineapple custard bun (bolo bao)... don't ask me how I went from dessert to this, but I liked it. The meat was kinda thin, but the flavor was there. We happened to have our meal right when the staff was having theirs right behind us. So by the time we were ready for the check, we kind of sat around waiting for someone to check on us. Our total came to about $60. I noticed that 2 of the dim sum dishes were marked as "large", at about $6.10 per dish. I wish this was posted on the dim sum menu somewhere... I only saw the $5.50 price tag. Overall, Dynasty Garden nostalgically reminds me of home, so I would definitely return.

    You would never think that a town like Hughson would have a great sushi place like the Hughson…read moreAsian Kitchen! The restaurant is nestled in the cute downtown area of Hughson, their main street. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the staff and seated right away. We were there on a Thursday evening about an hour before closing, but the restaurant was packed with customers. The menu has an extensive selection of Chinese and Japanese dishes. I had the Bruce Li roll which had tempura shrimp topped with crab meat, salmon, tuna, spicy mayo and unagi sauce. I also 2 pieces of the Hamachi (yellowtail), miso soup, and spicy edamame. The fish was some of the freshest I've ever had - flavorful, definitely sushi grade, and I could tell that it also wasn't previously frozen due to the color and texture. The miso soup and the spicy edamame were well-seasoned and delicious. My nephew had a combination plate with orange chicken, broccoli beef, and chicken fried rice. One thing to note that was really nice is that the restaurant allows you to create your own combination plates, they're not set items with no substitutions. When our waitress brought my nephew's combo plate, the food looked freshly cooked and delicious! He ate every bite! If you're ever in Hughson, try the Hughson Asian Kitchen - the friendly staff and tasty food won't disappoint!

The dragon roll was mediocre at best and the house chow mein was so salty while the chicken chow mein on the combo plate I ordered had no flavor. The orange chicken was okay but the fried rice on the combo plate was dry and had no flavor. I definitely won't come back here since I didn't think it was very good.

    I always order the same plate . sweet and sour . Chow mein too no rice…read moreDelicious .love the flavor and texture.wonderful workers so nice clean too

    Had lunch here while working in Modesto because it was nearby my location. Pretty disappointing…read moreChinese but the price for the amount of food was great. We called in an order for pick up, when I got there 15 minutes later it was ready and waiting. The 2 combo plates probably weighed 4 lbs in the bag. I honestly have no idea but it was hefty. The gentleman who helped me was also very nice and prompt. Unfortunately, the food was pretty lackluster. My orange chicken was miles away from crispy and the sauce was kind of bland. Also the chicken itself had that gross old chicken flavor that usually only comes from reheated chicken. The chow mein was also pretty bland. They did give chili sauce and soy sauce with the order, and adding those 2 things in spades did help with the lack of flavor. The cheese puffs were also disappointing. There was a good amount of crab in them, which is unusual for cheese puffs, however, the wrapper was thick and not crispy at all, mostly chewy, so all the enjoyable texture you expect wasn't there. My spouse had a combo with fried rice, beef & broccoli, and fried prawns. He liked it well enough but agreed it was pretty mediocre. The fried rice was pretty good but the beef & broccoli left a lot to be desired. In spite of the so so food, it's such a great price that it may be worth it to you. If you need a lot of food for not a lot of money, and you don't have high quality standards, this place will definitely take care of you.
