I found it on Google, then looked at the reviews on Yelp, which were pretty great. So, we decided to give them a try. The crawfish was $8.99 per pound or buy 5 pounds, get 1 pound free. SOLD!!!! What a great deal. Only caveat is it doesn't come with any sides like corn or potatoes. That's extra. Anyway, I get them home and try both pans. They have two different flavors (original Cajun or garlic butter). Both were AMAZING!!!!!! If they keep making crawfish like this, they will have a customer for life. Simply delicious.

Our waitress Lilly said she would check on it but it never came, and she eventually disappeared altogether. We asked for a manager twice, and no one ever came.

They're one stop sign away from my house so it's my 'go to' restaurant for Chinese take out. Since we've been in the neighborhood for more than 15 years, I've probably ordered from this restaurant more than 300 times. I'm finally writing about them, because they messed up my order tonight. Once, in all those times. I called to ask them if I could pick up the missing item and they fixed it. Not one, but two times over, to my surprise when I got home! This is a very, very fine establishment. read more

Seriously, the place smelled so fresh you could probably perform surgery in the dining room (don't worry, they stick to cooking, which is way more impressive). But the real MVP was Kendall She ran the register, served us, and basically orchestrated our entire evening with the grace of a future Olympic athlete... which, as it turns out, isn't far off! She mentioned she used to run track and is getting back into it. Let me tell you, that explains everything. The speed at which she refilled our water? Blink-and-you-miss-it. The efficiency of her service? Faster than the hurdles she used to jump over. We half-expected her to hand us our fortune cookies while doing hurdle drills over the chairs! Kendall, if you're reading this - you're amazing, and please save some gold medals for the rest of us mere mortals. Now, the FOOD. Oh. My. Wok. We're usually "leftover champions" at Chinese restaurants - it's practically our marital duty. But not this time. We ordered the Combination Fried Rice loaded with goodies) and the Hunan Chicken (spicy, savory, downright addictive). It was so unbelievably delicious, so flawlessly cooked, that we licked our plates clean. Seriously. Not a single grain of rice, not a stray pepper, not even a suspiciously saucy smudge escaped. Our dog is currently giving us the stink-eye because there were zero take-home boxes. Zero! Imperial China broke our leftover streak, and we're not even mad. And as if the universe was nodding along, our fortune cookie sealed the deal: Thursday will bring trust on your new journey." Considering our journey involved demolishing enough food for three people and meeting a future track legend, we'd say it's already pretty darn trustworthy! Overall 10 out of 10. Flawless cleanliness, food that made us abandon all dignity (and leftovers), service faster than Kendall's personal best, and a fortune that felt weirdly on-point. Imperial China, you've won our hearts, our stomachs, and our clean plate awards. We'll be back... probably on Thursday. Just in case.
