I am a creature of habit when it comes to the food I like and I rank this delivery right up there with other relevant comparisons. The sweet and sour chicken balls are always cooked perfectly = no rubbery or excessive grease - they are light and fluffy. Singapore noodles are really nice, if you do order the veggie option make sure that you make a comment in the ordering section or you might get the meat one, or make it clear on the phone. The ribs have a good selection or what type you want and the boyff has gone through every type and has liked them all, especially the chili ones. The chicken chow mein is standard but good. All the rices have been just as they should be and the right colour! So all in all I am releived that we have found this place as all the other ones in the local area are a bit rubbish. So far we have ordered from here 6 times in the last 3 months and have not been let down so far.

This is the second Imperial China, from the restaurant in Chinatown. On the out skirts of Watford it's easy to find and there's plenty of parking. If you're coming for dim sum I think they serve until 5pm on week days not too sure on weekends. Staff are friendly and very efficient and the restaurant is really tastefully decorated. The dim sum we had was fantastic, and my mum, dad and aunty are not ones to throw around praise if it's not deserved. I think we may have found a regular haunt here. YUM!

We dined here yesterday.

Drinks are extra. A sign at the entrance proclaimed that dim sum (referred to in an earlier review) was now permanently off the menu. We were also offered an a la carte menu. But, as that contained set meals comprising the same dishes as the barbecue, but at higher prices, we gave it a miss and ordered the barbecue. To say the service was slow would be an unparalleled understatement. It was for the most part stationary. The starters took 25 minutes to start arriving, after which they emerged from the kitchen at 5 minute intervals. The same happened with the main courses. We began to wonder if they were hot-wokking on a one ring Belling. Despite the painfully slow food delivery, I noticed that drinks (priced extra) were served and refreshed very promptly, both to us and nearby tables. Chinese tea was good, and a pitcher of ice cold tap water was delivered immediately without complaint. When the food eventually arrived, it was hot, but varied between tasteless, dried-up, greasy, and over-spiced. Unusually, not one dish stood out as good; but three were inedible: a soup ordered by my companion, a vegetable puree starter, and some noodles, which smelled burned and tasted greasy. Again unusually, there were no deserts or fresh fruit on the menu. When my companion politely mentioned that the vegetable starter was not very good, the waitress pointedly made no comment, ignored her and looked away. It worked. We made no attempt to comment further. In fact, the staff were generally inattentive and hard to find. To our shock, we saw a gentleman in a wheel chair arrive and struggle to open the door while staff stood by, watched and ignored him. I love Chinese food. I have eaten excellent (and not so excellent) Chinese food in Europe, the USA, the middle east and Africa as well as all over this country. Apart from a notably terrible restaurant in Philadelphia, this was probably the worst Chinese dining experience I have ever encountered. The staff told us on three occasions that things were about to improve due to the installation of self service, hotel-buffet-style, warming counters, so that large quantities of food can be prepared and kept warm. You may think that would be an improvement, but I couldn't possibly comment... The final straw was the 12.5% service charge added to our bill. We were tempted to pay the bill and make them wait an hour for the service charge. But, preferring a hasty getaway to ruining an already spoiled evening with an argument, we flourished the plastic and drove home past the nearby MacDonald's - which had never before looked QUITE so good. (PS my dining companion mentioned our experience to a friend today, who, it emerged, had also eaten there and experienced exactly the same problems.)

This is a nice Nando's, I did originally struggle to get a table being refused at first, I was lucky enough to be passing later on and noticed a few extra tables to dine in; with it being a Saturday in December, it was understandably very busy, considering this they did a very good job not to let standards slip in terms of service and food quality. the manager who served me was very friendly and the other employees were presentable. It was a little difficult getting to the toilets at the back due to how busy it was. I ordered a Medium Chicken Butterfly with Peri Chips, Creamy Mash and gravy, which came to £14. I do find Nando's a tad expensive for what it is, but with this delivering a good meal and being one of the few places nearby, I could get a table and be in and out quickly, it was worth the price on this occasion. The chicken was cooked well, the gravy went perfectly with the mash, which I always find to be lacking something. It is a shame the gravy is only seasonal. A pretty good Nando's location. 4*
