Hidden gem in a strip mall off of Sheridan Ave. I went on a Saturday afternoon and the place wasn't too busy. I was greeted and seated right away, and given a lunch menu with a glass of water. I'd initially heard of this place when I had first moved to Denver and hadn't purchased a car yet, so was using Doordash a lot. I remember commenting on DD that the portions were huge and, well, they still are! One order of pork fried rice basically made two meals for me, forcing me to request a to-go box for leftovers. The lunch version comes with your choice of soup, some fried wonton wrappers with duck sauce, and an egg roll. The decor gives a cozy feel with traditional Chinese style designs. The couple who, I assume run the place, were extremely kind and even let me practice my horrible Chinese a little bit! TLDR: cozy little place, nothing fancy but good comfort food supporting a kind family read more

Imperial Dragon - Egg Drop Soup - Chinese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've been coming here for thirty years. My entire life. And it was the best Chinese food I've ever had. We loved it. But they changed ownership, which in turn changed recipes. The food isn't BAD now, it just lost what made imperial dragon stand out amongst every Chinese place. The sesame chicken tastes like dollar scoop, And chow main has way to much salt and has a weird taste. The egg rolls taste store bought and the saddest one, is the egg drop soup. It tastes like corn. All together it tastes like very cheap Chinese food. It feels like breaking up with a long time friend, but unfortunately we will not be coming back. read more

I ate here for the 1st time last week. I was shocked with the amount of food on each plate. not complaining. I loved it all. great tasting food and a great price. I will be back!!! read more

I ordered the Sweet & Sour Pork for delivery. The dish was almost inedible. There was more breading (hard as a rock) than meat. I threw it out. read more

Amazingly delicious! First time at this restaurant and the food was delicious! We ordered the crab cheese wontons, chicken egg drop soup, pork Thai fried rice, beef with broccoli, strawberry mochi, and vanilla mochi. We got to get pictures of the wontons, soup, and mochi (I was so hungry). The waitress was quick to serve us! Very polite. We hardly waited for our food! It was steaming hot and delicious! The pork Thai fried rice has a small after kick to to but the taste over all was amazing! Very generous on the pork portions as well! The dish itself was piled high! We took home the leftovers! The beef with broccoli came with rice. I selected fried rice. The sauce on the beef with broccoli was amazing! So tasteful. The portion for both the broccoli and beef was evenly spread and the dish itself was amazingly portioned. I took a lot home for lunch tomorrow! Over all I loved our find! I can't wait to go back to this restaurant! #NewFavorite read more

Ah... NOW i remember why we don't order from them regularly. At least not on their website - they get too busy and lose orders. Waited 1.5hrs for delivery and when I called "oh, were so busy we didn't see the order." Shouldn't offer so many different ways to order if you can't track them all. Really disappointing, especially when I took the time to order directly from their website. Food is good but don't order online... to unreliable. read more

This place is surprisingly delicious. It's in a pretty rundown building in a strip mall off of Sheridan. It's easy to miss and not a restaurant I would try if I hadn't looked it up prior to going. The interior could use some work, but the food and staff make up for it. We went in rather early: 5pm on a Friday. We were the only it table in there. It was awkwardly silent, except for the loudness of one of the drivers saying how this was the best Chinese food restaurant. He then went on to talk negatively about other restaurants in the area. I wished he would be mindful about how loud he was. It created such a weird vibe. The woman that greeted us and took our order was extremely pleasant. The younger gentleman taking orders over the phone was also kind and pleasant. It felt like a family restaurant (except for the one driver who stuck out like a sore thumb). We ordered the cashew chicken and sesame beef. Both came out piping hot and full of flavor. The fried rice was ok, but I didn't expect it to be the star of the show. In the future, we'll opt for takeout so we can enjoy the full flavor of everything without being disrupted by the overly loud driver. read more

It had been too long since we visited Imperial Dragon.  Approximately 7 years?  We were having a craving for Asian food this last weekend and with the weather being cold and dreary, we decided to order Imperial Dragon to enjoy at home.  I ordered the Mongolian Beef and while this dish is so seemingly simple, so many places don't execute it properly.  Imperial Dragon's rendition is so mouth watering and flavorful.  My wife got curry chicken and it too was tasty.  The crab cheese wontons are average, the pork egg rolls are pretty tasty. Their delivery time was super quick and the driver seemingly friendly (I could hear his banter at the front door while I was in our backyard).  It was refreshing to have an establishment maintain the same level of quality so many years later.  Be sure to check out or order from Imperial Dragon if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Imperial Dragon - All this for 2 ppl - Chinese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This hits every time. We get delivery and it comes hot and doesn't last long in this house.

First and last experience at the imperial garden on Sheridan. The place is filthy, and the food gave me the worst stomach ache of my life. A grease slick leads you into the establishment. The windows are filthy. The door knob is filthy and yet there's a sign on the window that says if you're sick, please don't enter. What a laugh - never again. If you're in the area, go a little further south to Dartmouth and Sheridan to Jade cafe. The food is great. The place is clean and you won't get sick. read more

This place is only doing takeout or delivery just FYI if you are thinking of trying it out. Also has GREAT pricing, we bought 3 dishes and an appetizer for about $40. It is a very surprising hole in the wall. We did a takeout order and were very impressed with the portion sizes. As for the food...the sesame chicken was phenomenal it was actually chicken not just breading, it had just the right amount of sweet and spicy. The beef lo mein was one of my favorite dishes the flavoring was strong and savory. The crab cheese wantons were alittle small, but weren't greasy like usual Chinese restaurants. They were delicious. As for the chicken fried rice, it was absolutely terrible. It wasn't fried rice at all, definitely more like white rice with some peas and chicken. It definitely didn't taste right. All in all was a very affordable and satisfying Chinese restaurant. We will definitely be back minus the chicken fried rice. Plus we have plenty of leftovers for the next day. read more

I'm normally quite pleased with this restaurant. This time I ordered online on 12/25. They said online it would take 30 minutes so I didn't show up until about 45 minutes. When I finally spoke to someone they said it would be at least another 30 minutes. Poor employee planning on their busiest day of the year. read more

Delish. Their sesame chicken is crispy and juicy. The Lomein gas great flavor and none of the grease most places have. Delivery was quick with a smile. read more

I placed an order within the last hour they were open. The food was still hella good and the woman at the counter was super sweet :)

Drunken noodles ........waste of 15 bucks. Noodles where overcooked. Chicken tasted like leftover they reused....horrible experience read more

1.5 stars. I almost turned away when I didn't see any other diners in the restaurant, I mean, it was completely empty! We were the first ones for the night. At least the place is clean and the decors are nice, so that earned 1 star. I'm really fed up with the waiter all night long, excuse my language but I can't think of any other word but "stupid" to describe him. He spoke both broken English and Cantonese so it was kind of difficult to communicate with him. When we requested password for wi-fi, he gave us two random numbers that of course lead to nowhere. What kind of places give out fake wifi passwords?!!? When I inquired about substitutions, he said no, either the restaurant doesn't do it (but it's unconsiderate not to do it to accomadate people with food allergies!) or he refuses because it'll make his job easier! I do not like him! Then came the food, portion wise it was good and the Pan Fried dumplings were probably the only average thing for the night, thus earning the other half star. We also ordered Curry Shrimp and Twice Cooked Pork, both contain some stinky smelling bamboo shoots, making the food taste un-fresh. Talking about freshness, we're Chinese, and it's stupid for them to think they can fool us with some BBQ pork in place of real, twice cooked pork! I'm sure they just used the leftover BBQ pork for the dish because they didn't sell out. That's unethical, and I'm totally disgusted at the end of the night. Will never return no matter what! read more

Been in Lakewood a couple of years. Me and my son get Chinese food once every other week or so and this is THE PLACE. Fried rice is his fav food so We've tried all the places in the area. Imperial dragon has the best food, at worst competitive pricing. Best egg drop soup and they deliver pretty quickly. Basically this is the right one. Save yourself some time and pain. Make this your spot read more

Ordered appetizers (egg rolls, beef skewers, crab cheese wontons, shrimp summer rolls, wonton soup with crispy noodles) cheese in the wontons tasted sour, egg rolls were hard to chew as if they have been sitting out all day peanut sauce tasted days old and they stuffed a bunch of soggy yellow lettuce in the summer rolls and in the soup only thing I can't complain about were the skewers extremely disappointed I wasted my money here read more

Tonight, we placed an order for 2 Family Dinners A - Sweet and Sour Shrimp and Happy Family. Along with this, we chose egg drop soup for both, fried rice and an extra order of the wantons. The meal arrived in less time then was told so that was a plus. No soup at all. Call restaurant and was told that they gave us 2 extra egg rolls instead of soup. I said, no, we want the soup. He said to come and pick it up then. I said no, you screwed up, you deliver it to us. Half hour later, the soup was delivered. The shrimp entree was pretty bad. Fried to a crisp. Couldn't even eat it. The other meal was fine. The pu pu platter was fine. Considering we've always had good meals from them, we will be waiting a while before we order from them again. read more

This the best place I have ever eat I just love this place I really recommend this place for any event like a birthday or just a family dinner . read more

awful. nasty old woman hostess. Bad food. Overpriced. Greasy. Go next door to blue Bonnet and enjoy your lunch.

I was pleasantly surprised with one of the best Happy Family dish's. Delish especially the large shrimp. Will return soon.

Very good food. Sweet and Sour Chicken perfect Chicken and veggies very good. Sesame Chicken perfect! These folks are doing Chinese food right! read more

Crappy food!!!! ordered chicken lo mein to go when i took the first bite i knew i had just wasted 20.00 No flavor to the noodles and the chicken tasted like it had been cook this morning and then just reheated. You get better and fresher food at panda express! Don't waste you money here read more

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. It's been over an hour and a half and my husband and I are STARVING!!!! My husband calls the restaurant and he asks where the food is. The person on the other end said oh it's just sitting here. I'm not happy at all and you ripped us off. You should have sent a driver to deliver the food when it's ready. Update: I ordered myself lunch today and now I'm not feeling well. I want a refund for my food. Don't tell me to see a doctor when your food got me sick read more

Take out is much more easier than dining in, the ladies always have an attitude and are rude. Prices are high, other than that I recommend take out. Poor customer service ever!! read more

I expected a lot from this place because my husband said he liked it so I gave it a shot! Service, MEH. Food, MEH Portions, GOOD. I wouldn't go there again. read more

Imperial Dragon - Worst food ever! - Chinese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

First time ordering from here and the food was good and hot when it arrived. I don't like ordering online, however the app is easy to navigate through. The food arrived on time and the driver was friendly! I will definitely order from here again. Great Job Imperial Dragon! read more

Best Chinese in Denver! We've been customers at Imperial Dragon since 2012 and I realized I've never done a review for them, shame on me. Sesame Chicken and Orange Chicken are always meaty and scrumptious. Not that soggy, all breading-no meat stuff you get at other places. Shrimp Fried Rice is always delish and never greasy. Ours always automatically comes with peas & carrots and onions so we don't ever have to ask to add in. Not sure if that's automatic for all fried rice orders, so be sure to ask if you don't like those ads-ins. Seafood Soup is always delish, filled with shrimp, scallops, imitation crab meat, and loads of vegetables. I like my food spicy so we always ask for extra hot oil and dunk the container in the soup! It's the best if you're feeling under the weather but yummy and warm soup to warm your tummy and soul. We also try to get other dishes such as Shrimp or Chicken with Vegetables in white garlic sauce which never disappoints. Each and every dish is always made with the freshest ingredients and they are always very generous with their portions. Can truly say this spot is our go-to for Chinese! read more

If you haven't been to this place you're missing out. The BEST Chinese food in town hands down. My boyfriend and I come here at least once a month from Littleton. We usually get the dinner which comes with wontons, egg rolls and soup! I will never stop talking about how much I love this place. read more

Consistently delish! Quality is top notch. We particularly like Mongolian Beef and Sesame Chicken. Delivery is always prompt, the food hot, and always worth the price. Can't say enough good things about this Chinese restaurant. read more

Been going here for so many years, I'd tell you how many but difficult to count that high. They have remodeled a couple of times and I have seen many groups of waitpersons grow up and move on. But through it all, the food is always fresh and excellently prepared. Portions are hefty, there are always leftovers to take home. read more

This is one of the best Chinese food places around! My fiancé and I absolutely love the food here. We've been ordering from here for over 3 years and let me say, they rarely disappoint. Every now and again someone will say they don't deliver to our area (Lakewood) even with the promise of a "nice tip" which is a major disappointment. The food here is sooooo good! We especially enjoy the egg rolls, sesame chicken and combo lo mein. If you get a chance to dine in, get delivery or even take out, do it! read more

The worst delivery we got in months! They gave us different items than what we wanted, the quality of food was bad. The chicken was dry, the springs rolls had literally one shrimp in it, and the beef was spicy and sour. We are really disappointed and will never order from this place again. Bleh read more

HANDS- DOWN THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IN DENVER!!! We have ordered from this place many, many times. We have tried many other places nearby - but none of them come close to these people. Their employees are so kind, courteous, helpful, patient, professional, and knowledgeable! Their prices are amazing and delivery is incredibly fast too. They ALWAYS get the food to my front door within 20 minutes of calling in my order. In the middle of dinner rush, they still make it happen every time. And we live several miles away too, it's not like we're just across the street. I can't recommend them any higher!! We will be loyal patrons forever!! I just love this place, and if you're looking for a quality, cost effective, delicious, fast, and consistently accurate orders ... try them out! A note to management/owners - every single one of your employees that we've had any contact with have been remarkable. You have a great team over there. I sure hope you take good care of them!! It's such a relief to never worry or even have to check our bags for accuracy because it always, always is. read more

I ordered at 5:30. The order didn't arrive until 7:00. The app said it would be delivered by 6:30. The driver couldn't care less when I complained. Food was OK. read more

Moved back into the area and my family recommended the place. The last two times we ordered they didn't include the brown rice I ordered, instead giving us fried rice. And the second time it took them an hour to deliver, after being told it would be 25 minuets. Food is average. My mom said the egg drop soup was gross (try one of the others). read more
