Imperial China

I visited this restaurant as the ambience is very pleasant with the water gardens offering a serene setting on entering the restaurant.However the food was overpriced and of inferior quality to most other places in Chinatown. The soft shell crab was slightly burnt but adequate. The Taiwanese chicken was described as "on the bone" but was served boneless! At £12.95 it was a sticky sweet overcooked mess! The seafood noodles were also overlooked and too salty; usually this is served Ho Fun style with a corn flour based sauce but this was simply stir fried. Finally the service was incredibly rushed and our plates were cleared too quickly.At £60 for 2 with a couple of beers this was a total rip-off and I will never go again.
