    Vegetable fried rice with no eggs on request
    Tanvi G.

    Came here for dinner after a long time. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food arrived relatively quickly and the portions were good. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere. We ordered a customized hot and sour soup, vegetable fried rice, vegetable chow mein, foil paper chicken, house chicken and string beans with added fried tofu. They made all the items correctly despite our multiple customizations. Everything was delicious and hot. A great option in modesto for chinese food!

    This evening we sampled Imperial Garden, a Chinese restaurant I hadn't been to in years. I stopped going there when my employment moved to a different section of our town. My wife, who is half Chinese, whose parents hailed from China, having left during the Cultural Revolution, maintained a home mixed with traditional Chinese meals and Western ones. She is my reliable gauge of what is good in Asian fare. We ordered two ice teas and a sampler appetizer. The teas were nicely large and refreshingly cool. The sampler was good; she pronounced the egg rolls very good. The pork was a bit tough for both of us. She said, "Noah's downtown is better." True that, without a knife to cut the pieces, the pork was a bit difficult to manage. She liked the shrimp very much. The tinfoil chicken was especially good, we both agreed, large portions to be sure. We ordered two mains and fried rice. I found the curry shrimp very good and the chicken and veggies nicely spiced. The staff was pleasant and attentive and kept our ice teas filled. A definite 4 out of 5, a future visit may well raise this.

    Imperial Garden is the place be ... All of the food in the menu are the best . Our favorite is the pork chop , walnut nut and especially the Deep fried sea-bass . Chef Jackie is the best chef ever in town . He's very friendly and very knowledgeable about the food he cooks . The servers are very polite and friendly as well.We always recommend them to our clients in our Spa located at Kglowdayspa in Mc Henry Villages behind Sprout and CVS. Again , this is place highly recommended 10-10 rate .

    Very tasty food will recommend to everyone.

    We ate here for the first time tonight and the food and service were excellent. Our server was very kind and our food came out really quickly. We ordered the house chicken, chow mein, and sweet and sour chicken and it was all very fresh and had great flavor. The restaurant had a great ambiance as well. We will definitely be coming back.

    The food is absolutely delicious and has been consistently good for years, I have been coming here since 2011. I love everything on the menu. The service is great. Great attention to detail and very professional. They are so respectful and accommodating. Chairs are comfortable. The space is very roomy and the climate is very well regulated. The music playing is peaceful and the lighting is just perfect--no overbearing brightness. The decor is very homey. It is an oasis and refuge from the outside world--a true hidden gem. When you enter and dine you'll see what I mean. Enjoy! The

    Wonderful friendly place, clean, well managed, great food selection, very tasty. Large varied menu…read more Nice decor, good atmosphere & vibes.

    First time reviewing Dynasty Garden but been going here since they first opened 20 yrs ago…read more This is the place if you are craving for dim sum and don't want to drive to the Bay Area. Took my staff here and for 2 of them, it was their first time trying this Chinese place. Ordered on the dim sum menu- pork shu mai, shrimp dumpling, steamed pork bun. Since we did family style, I ordered for everyone but gave them option to choose an entree. Sizzling rice soup - staff loved it, simple ingredients of bok Choy, chicken , shrimp and crackling rice that's put on the soup at the table. 5 stars Mongolian beef - favorite for the first timers. One staff said she liked the taste and the crispy won ton. 5 stars. Pan fried - Hong Kong style chow mein - basically the noodles is toasted and crispy and the sauce with the meats (chicken beef shrimp) with bok choy is placed on top! I always get this and i recommend peeps to try it! My staff loved it. 5 stars Pork fried rice - usually I like the pink bbq pork style fried rice but this isn't bad. Not a lot of veggies so not colorful. 4 stars Garlic chicken- pretty good: lots of onions. Doesn't seem that garlicky to me. 4 stars Hot spicy string beans- needed some greens and this is pretty crunchy and tasty. 5 stars Service- lots of peeps working. When you ask boxes to go, they give you it but don't put the food for you. 4 stars Overall, good place to sit down and have dim sum or order Chinese food. Popular place for Togo orders

    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!

    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.
