It's amazing that Imperial has maintained its high quality over so many years. We moved out to the burbs and forgot about it. So glad we remembered and went back there! It was excellent. The sesame chicken tastes the exact same as it always did. So many other restaurants ruin it with heavy breading and too sweet sauce. The mu shu was also exceptional. We will be back!

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Imperial Chinese restaurant. We had not dined there recently as we lived in south suburbs of Denver, but recently moved downtown and decided to try it out. So glad we did! The food was delicious. We had Hot/ Sour soup, Pork Ribs and Chicken Dumplings appetizers, Mu-Shoo Pork and steamed Sea Bass with ginger soy sauce. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. Best Chinese food in Denver for sure. Also, our server was excellent. She was very attentive and helpful. Meal was timed perfectly too, so each course came to the table with a little break in between courses but did not feel like too slow or rushed. We highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!
