| - I've been to Imperial Gardens countless times. It's one of the few restaurants in Madison that's not a burger joint that's not "too spicy" for my Mom. So Imperial Gardens has become a go to sort of place when there is a reason for a family outing.
On to the meal, there were six of us (ironically dear Mother didn't make it). We ordered: Grilled Pot Stickers, Green Beans with Garlic, Moo Shu Chicken, Governor's Chicken, Beef Epicurious, Sweet and Sour Pork, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, and some sort of Shrimp Dish.
This isn't a Chinese place with bold flavors. But it's consistent. Each dish was distinctly different but mild, even the Governor's Chicken. Surprisingly the best dishes in this mix were the simplest, the green beans and the eggplant.
The menu seems to have recently been reorganized. It seems smaller but all the usual dishes all seem to be in place. Also, you can order brown rice in addition to the standard white rice. If you're looking for the Classic Americanized Chinese Restaurant Imperial Palace is your kind of place.
Hopefully dear old Mom will make the next outing. We did get an extra order of dumplings to go with the leftovers for Mom.
