Imperial Garden

Inside Imperial Garden

Imperial Garden is a longstanding Chinese restaurant in Oak Grove that feels like a familiar spot for both regulars and newcomers craving dependable, no-frills Chinese cuisine. Tucked along SE McLoughlin Blvd, this place has carried much of its character and menu consistency for decades, which clearly appeals to those who appreciate tradition and steady quality over flashiness.

The atmosphere inside leans toward practical and comfortable rather than trendy or sleek. It’s the kind of place where you can expect a sincere smile at the door and staff who move efficiently even during busy times, creating a welcoming but straightforward dining experience. The interior hasn’t changed much over the years, which adds to the down-to-earth local feel.

Imperial Garden is especially suited for folks looking for reliable lunch combos or a casual dinner with familiar Chinese dishes. The lunch specials stand out with good portions, including an egg roll plus a choice between hot and sour or egg flower soup—pair that with your choice of entrées like Broccoli Beef or Kung Pao Chicken for a solid midday meal that won’t stretch your budget.

Those who frequent the restaurant tend to enjoy classics like General Tseng’s Chicken or the Mixed Appetizer Plate, often ordering takeout or dining in during quieter hours to avoid peak rushes. The quick service and friendly vibe make it a convenient stop whether you’re grabbing a solo lunch or sharing a meal with family or coworkers.

Though the decor and layout are modest, it’s clear Imperial Garden serves a community that values consistency in both food and hospitality. Evening diners often appreciate the extra spice options on dishes like Kung Pao Chicken, while regulars come back for favorites like the hot and sour soup and fried rice variations. The steady flow of business suggests this spot remains a comfortable go-to for those seeking straightforward, hearty Chinese food without fuss.

'Been coming here regularly for three decades now... menu, decor, exceptional service has stayed the same... just the way I like it. The taste of the food, consistently so delicious... and the prices? Unbeatable. The lunch combos include an egg roll and your choice of either hot & sour soup(my favorite) or egg flower soup that starts at $8, complimentary hot tea if you ask. This is 2022, $8.00 for a lunch combination is a great price. Pictured is the Happy Family lunch combo I had last time I visited... it is as delicious as it looks.

I grew up going here and had to go back on a recent trip home, it was such a pleasant surprise to see the bright and airy remodel, it looks so good! I've always been a fan of their food, the perfect crispy and sweet deep fried goodness you can't help but love. They've also added some new things to the menu too! We got the family style dinner special and it was even better than I remembered.
