    Just your everyday average looking place with great food, drinks and service. Served quickly and food comes out very hot, fried appetizers are hot,crispy and not over fried or dried out. Some of the best chicken wings I've had. Haven't been disappointed yet.

    Amazing find after many disappointing trys to find a decent place in Braintree. Ha!! Imperial Garden is the sleeping giant of all giants...great genuine Chinese food...who could ask for anything more? We got a pupu platter for 2 that could feed 4 and were blown away at our first bite of the beef teriyaki.. OMG...I would suggest just dropping in to try that and then you'll get it. I am so grateful for stumbling upon this place when we were craving Chinese and the bruins game...oh yes they play the sports AND they have keno!!! Bonus!!!

    This is our go to place for Chinese food. Food is usually very good and the servers are friendly. The atmosphere is a bit dated but it’s never an issue for us.

    Excellent food, try the chicken teriyaki! But regardless what you get, this place is the best Chinese food you'll find in Hanover. Quan's used to be great, TSang's too, both still alright but Imperial Garden IS THE BEST!

    This place reminds me of old school Chinese restaurants! There was a pot of tea! The food was fresh filling and delicious! We got a combo app of boneless ribs, wings, crab rangoon, and an egg roll. We also got a small beef teriyaki, general gao's chicken and pork chow mein. Everything was great! We stuffed ourselves! We took the leftovers home to my friends husband! He loved it to! We shared a scorpion bowl, too. The bill was 60 bucks. There's no way you could go wrong!

    I love it here. Always came here with my Dad and my sister and it is just like I remember it. The food and service are consistent and they don’t mess with a good thing like the fancier places in Hanover that don’t really give you the old school Chinese Lounge experience.
