“ First time here yesterday, I ordered the lunch special. Great portion, great price, even better tasting food. Nice quiet place, great for meeting up to have dinner/lunch. This place reminds me of a homey restaurant I frequented as a child, I love the nostalgia it gives me. Friendly staff kept me updated on my order, I will definitely be back again! ”

“ Been going here since I was a kid and even though they have changed owners it's still incredible. If you grew up here, then you know that the og sesame chicken and barbecue pork fried rice is the go to, but literally everything here is amazing. ”

“ Went there for Christmas dinner. I didn't want to cook after making a large Christmas Eve dinner. I was done cooking! Went here for the first time. They were busy and we had to wait for a table. It was worth it. We have non-seafood, vegetarian, non-gluten and non-pork eater in our family. There was something on the menu for all of us. Everything was hot and delicious. Thanks for being open on Christmas and saving me from cooking. Will be back for sure. ”

“ Flank steak: didnt taste much orange, chewy texture with a little crisp. They gave you a lot but makes sense for the price. The only dish we couldnt finish cause so much. 5:5 Soup: first thing that was served, was delicious, little beef tripe and crab meat chunks surprisingly synergized well. Very flavorful. Might be a little too salty. As a starter- 5/5 Black pepper fish: sizzling, soft fish filets, grilled onions, moist and saucy. You can never go wrong 5/5 Twice cook pork: basically a stewed braised pork. Super fall of the bone melt in your mouth texture. Goes great with rice. But is less in quantity than others so 4/5 Fried rice: too salty. Would be a good dish on its own though. The way we ate it though was with other foods so the salt was too high. Based on my experience- 4/5 Pork chop: one of the first ones served, we finished it up very quickly. Lots of bone in the way, but the meat that you do get is tasty. 5/5 Extra All in all, salt overload Every food was delicious They were all the same price (12.50$) besides the flank steak Our waiter spoke very calm and politely Fork came wrapped in napkin You should get plain rice 4/5 every food tasted great, just a little too salty ”

“ Solid Chinese food! Generous lunch specials which include soup, wonton and rice. Extensive menu options ”

“ A solid 4.5 stars. Normally, we do take out from Imperial Palace; but, we have dined in too. The two female servers are very efficient, polite, and quick. My husband eats here more than me. He absolutely loves it here. His favorite dish is the rib eye steak with mushrooms. As long as they continue to be fair with their portions; he'll be a lifer here. Lol. Last time, I ordered the beef tomato/tomato beef. Of course, the hubz had to help himself to my food too. Smh. When he does that, he loves the food. IMO it's rude (lol); but, when we find a solid place in San Ramon; I'll take it. The restaurant is always busy when we walk in and you can see that they have their regulars here. The ambiance isn't anything fancy; but, that is fine with me as long as the food tastes 'ono, portions are on point, and service is decent. I still get a kick when I saw the green beans on the table. That's straight old school in my book. I loved that. ”

“ Always good food here. I've never had a bad experience over the last 15 years going here. My fav is the imperial crispy beef. Can't go wrong with it. Everything here is good, the place is clean and the food comes fast. Staff is friendly and parking is abundant ”

“ Imperial Delight is a longstanding Chinese restaurant in the Marketplace Shopping Center, right across the street from THE LOT and San Ramon City Hall. Eight of us came here for dinner on 02/27/2023. The place wasn't too busy when we walked in at around 6:30 pm. The staff welcomed us immediately, and we were seated at a large round table in the middle of the room. The interior was clean and bright. I didn't pay much attention to the decor since I was busy catching up with my friends. Tea and menus were quickly brought to us. They have both a regular menu and a 3-dish Chinese menu ($11.75 per dish). We decided to order a dozen or so dishes off of both. Below is what we got. West Lake Beef Soup - It had a good amount of chopped beef and some real crab meat in it. Taste was a bit bland. Steamed Half Fish - More like steamed fish fillet. Taste was okay but I thought we were getting real fish instead of fillet. Beef Stew Tofu Claypot - Not good. Lots of fried tofu cubes but not much beef. The beef was dry and chewy. Taste was meh. Tomato Beef Scrambled Eggs - Pretty good. It had a nice balanced taste. Beef was tender. Shredded Chicken with Jellyfish - I thought it was a cold dish but instead it was a stir-fry. It was okay tasting. Could have used a bit more seasoning. Salt and Pepper Pork Chop - The taste was on point, but a couple pieces were excessively fatty. Peking Sauce Pork Chop - See Salt and Pepper Pork Chop description. Chinese Greens in Chicken Broth - The yu choy was fresh and tender. The shredded pork and sliced shiitake mushrooms added substance and taste to the dish. Home Style Tofu - Not good. Tofu was super dry. Shrimp in Maggi Sauce - Fried shrimp tossed in Maggi sauce. Maggi sauce is basically a concoction of MSG and edible chemicals. Not worth the price in my opinion. Should have gotten the salt and pepper version instead. Sizzling Black Pepper Beef - Easily one of the better dishes of the evening. Came out sizzling hot. It was tasty and the beef was tender. Fish Fillet and Tofu Claypot - Decent. Oyster sauce and soy were the main ingredients of the sauce. Fish was mild and flaky, and the pieces of fried tofu were nice. Dried Scallop and Egg White Fried Rice - Pretty good. The taste was on point and the rice grains weren't clumped together (sorry I forgot to take a picture of this dish). The portions were moderate. Service we received was excellent. The servers were all very friendly and attentive. The total, with T/T, was close to $240. Considering the quality of the food, service, and price point, this place is an alright option based on the area it's located in. 3.5 stars rounding up to 4. BONUS MATERIAL: - Ample parking on site. - Banquet menu available. ”
