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. The restaurant specialises in £17.50 a head "all you can eat" buffet: two…read morestarters, two main courses, plus rice, noodles and vegetables, and more of the same to follow if you still have an appetite. 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.)

Restaurant is menu style all you can eat. The food is really good and the choice is the best I've seen anywhere. To be honest, in my humble opinion, the restaurant went downhill when the management changed, which is why I haven't been in a long while. But, I'm thinking about taking the hubby there (we were only going out when we last went there!) to try it again. I have some very fond memories of the restaurant.

You can tell it is really fresh and not just cooked then double fried or heated. You also get the food in the cute little boxes which is a nice touch. I think that the pricing is very good also. A reliable and decent Chinese takeaway in my area.

It's like Whole Foods! With the price tag to match!…read more You know how they refer to Whole Foods affectionately as 'Whole Paycheck?' Well, similarly -- As Nature Intended (me to be broke). I suppose. This mini-chain is very similar to my favored "The Grocery" up on Kingsland Road but I just so happen to be down by Spitalfields often enough that I've popped in to this market a few times for the (not-so) essentials. Let's face it, it's a bleak state of affairs down Commercial Street at Tesco Local. I can't even bring myself to go in there. The amount of plastic wrapping and pre-packaged foods just makes me want to barf, no joke. I just can't most of the time, I'd rather go anywhere else. So yes, while As Nature Intended is a bit pricier -- it's also a LOT nicer, has WAY better food things in it and if I want to pay 100 quid for a bag of (basically) snacks, so it shall be done. Sometimes one just wants to feel wholesome, right? Yes. Of particular interest here is their health and beauty section -- well stocked and comprehensive. They carry REN, which I adore and also full range of Wedela which I buy often for the little person in our house. The soups are great, and they have CO-YO (coconut milk yogurt) which is my favorite thing of 2015 thus far. Staff is friendly. You'll be broke but you'll be happy. Good organic food stuffs up in here.

It is fully stocked with healthy foods and goodies to help you get through the week and help you to feel like an amazing human being. To add the staff are super friendly and delightful whenever I visit, always displaying a smile on their face and asking if any help is required (it is always the small gestures that count). I can literally spend near to an hour browsing the nut butters, chocolate aisle and fruit pantry, and last but not least - they even provide a sink for you to wash your fruit and veg if you wish to consume it straight away. Also, if you are lucky you may be greeted with a sample of peanut butter or other tasty snack to help you through your shop. If you're a true foodie and health and fitness fiend like me, you'll fall in love with this place!
