We stopped by on a rainy morning, and a friendly gentleman greeted us immediately. My daughter ordered a boba tea, which was ready in about five minutes. She did not request less sugar, so the drink was sweeter than she prefers, and the boba seemed slightly undercooked. Still, she enjoyed the tea overall. It was also a little less expensive than drinks at the nearby boba shop, and she said she would definitely return. read more

Imperial Garden continues to provide fabulous food and service. We last got food from here last night. They were thankfully open on New Year's. My order was ready when I came by to pick it up. They offer online ordering on their website, but I always call for pick up. Pick up orders are usually ready within 15 to 20 minutes. The menu is quite vast; it offers plenty of pescatarian and vegetarian options. I love their kung pao shrimp. The location is kept well maintained and clean. There is always plenty of parking. Please note the restaurant does not offer outside seating. read more

One of my favorite spots to have lunch at in town! This Chinese restaurant is amazing, the staff is always super nice and helpful. The food is really good fresh and it comes out quickly.

I used to live in the area, and was usually underwhelmed by Imperial Garden compared to other Chinese restaurants in Thousand Oaks. Well, they have the last laugh, as nearly all of them have shuttered (R.I.P. Chen's!), but Imperial Garden persists. Upon a recent visit back home, however, I dropped by to see what's changed. It was...pretty decent? Not everything was amazing - the chicken with green vegetables was entirely flavorless - but the steamed fish in ginger was pretty good. The jade crispy shrimp is still a home run too. I remembered their rice always being dry back in the day, but it tasted how it should this time. Staff is still friendly too! read more

Finally got to try Imperial Garden and it falls somewhere between 3-4 stars. I always round up when I'm unsure of the number, nice staff will always leave enough of an impression on me to round up. This restaurant is definitely giving blast from the past, I loved the inside. Baby pink and green decor. It's definitely old school in decor and that's what gives it its charm. I called in an order for pickup so I didn't get to dine inside but I went in for my food and waited a few minutes so I got a good look at the place. The staff working here were very very nice. Both a woman and a gentlemen helped me and had friendly attitudes. I felt my patronage was appreciated. My food was ready right on time and packaged nicely. The food overall had hits and misses. Every dish was good but having read some of the higher 5 star recent reviews I think I had gotten my hopes extra up. The dishes I enjoyed were the veggie egg rolls. As simple as they were they were very tasty and the winning combo is how good their spicy mustard and sweet and sour sauce are. Would totally get this again. Another dish that I liked was their chow fun, needed a little more sauce in my opinion but was promising. The two dishes that were average were their fried rice and shrimp egg foo young. Wouldn't likely get them again or recommend them. Not bad by any means but just okay. An appetizer, one main dish, one noodle dish, and one fried rice dish came to $60. Always on the hunt for good Chinese food. This place definitely filled my craving for the day but not sure it would be in my very top Chinese restaurant recommendation for this side of town. My breakdown is: Service 5/5. Food 3/5. Pricing 3.5/5. read more

Hot, fresh and savory!!! Food came out fast! Great quality ingredients were slowly tasted. Inside is your typical old fashioned Chinese neighborhood restaurant. Nothing wrong with that. Let the great food and fast friendly service do the talking. Plenty of parking outside. Inside is clean and the restroom is not dingy like the ones in Chinatown. We randomly selected this place because we were craving for some Chinese food and we don't want to drive to Alhambra or San Gabriel. read more

OK, I would give it more stars because it did look clean and the one staff person I spoke with was friendly. I ordered takeout. I was told utensils were in the bag. They were not. I was told eight packages of soy sauce were in there when I asked for chili. He opened it up and said oh there's eight packets of soy sauce do you want more so I didn't check it further. So to my surprise, getting back to my hotel with not enough soy sauce (only 3 small packets)and no utensils was not helpful. Tried to forget about that. The food looked good, but that's about all it had going for it. It almost felt like a fake out. It looked like authentic Chinese food but when you bit into it, there was like no flavor at all. It was like a whisper of orange sauce for the orange chicken, a whisper of sauce for the beef and broccoli. It tasted almost watered down like it almost tasted like orange sauce, but just so diluted. The price is what you would expect for Chinese takeout we ordered chow mein, beef and broccoli,orange chicken, and potstickers our total was 68 bucks. It was a lot of food but nothing anyone was fighting over. We had leftovers that no one wanted. read more

I have been here once and will never come back. The food was terrible and the service meh. They were other people eating in but not busy.

Absolutely delicious food, service excellent, ambience beautiful. Just wish you delivered a wee bit west of Santa Rosa Valley

I was in the area for an appointment and found this place on Yelp! So glad I gave it a try, it's so delicious, flavors are so authentic. Staff are kind and give it a family vibe! Definitely coming back to try other dishes! read more

My second and last time eating food from Imperial Garden. There are certain dishes I enjoy spicy. The first time I ordered Curry Chicken "spicy-spicy", but it was mild at best. This time I ordered the Spicy Eggplant and requested it be "EXTRA SPICY". Again, it was only mild. There was nothing even remotely spicy about it. If these folks can't make food to order as requested, then I won't be a customer anymore. Very disappointed. read more

My family and I have been loyal patrons of Imperial Garden for over six years, appreciating its proximity to CalLu and the convenience of its fast pickup service.

Got a bunch of tofu and eggplant dishes and everything was good but the salt and pepper tofu was INCREDIBLE. Such a great vegetarian option near campus!!! read more

I tried IG again recently and was disappointed. The prices went up and the serving size is now smaller. I ordered the house fried rice and it was over cooked and the meat was chewy. If they can't get fired rice right... A plus was the service was prompt. This is likely because the food is pre made, not fresh. Value and quality are lacking so I doubt we'll order from them again. read more

This restaurant has a very pleasant setting and good food, from my very limited experience. It is one of the rare family-owned Chinese-cuisine restaurants in this area. I will return. read more

The food is delicious! The service is outstanding! I will recommend this restaurant to all my friends.

I Had takeout this time. it was QUICK, HOT, and DELICIOUS, AS ALWAYS! I've never had a bad meal there.

We mainly order for delivery. The man who delivers the food is a very nice man. I told him I was in China 8 times and we became instant friends. The food is wonderful and it's consistent!!! The shrimp in lobster sauce is our favorite. The service when we eat at the restaurant is wonderful, they treat us like family. The surroundings are more than pleasant. I recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

This restaurant has gone down hill. I have been a long term customer but they are declining and so is the food. It appears the main owner has given the young people to be in charge and it's absolutely awful. I will never go there again after being a customer for 15 years. Very bad experience. read more

Mother's Day Luncheon. We ordered off the 'Imperial Specialties' section scoring the crispy LEMON CHICKEN (3.5 stars) and the SUB-GUM PAN FRIED NOODLES (4.5 stars). That lemon chicken was crispy good but it was one-dimensional. You have your chicken, and you have your sauce....that's it. I don't know why but my 89 year old stepmother-in-law and wife both decided they needed their own order. Of course almost a full plate's worth of lemon chicken rode home with us in a box. The SUB-GUM was the hit of the meal with bok choy, broccoli, carrots, onions, pan fried noodles galore, chicken, shrimp and tender flavorful beef. Factor in that this also easily fed 2 people and you've got a bonafide bargain at $15.98. Score a buncha steamed rice for a buck and you're in business. read more

Went to Imperial Garden for the first time. From the moment we got there we felt welcome. They helped open the door and guided my disabled friend to the table. Helped with the wheelchair and made him feel comfortable. Food was great and portions were huge. We shared a small wor wonton, orange chicken and kung pao three ingredient. We brought home enough for another meal. Will definitely go back. read more
